Wonder if there's anywhere else to get one.

Nippon-Yasan is not online yet. So there's still a big chance for you.

I still haven't received my mail, but does show up in my open orders page so hey.

[Shukenzero]

Thanks F360. I got the confirmation at 3:04, so hopefully it was still within the tight time limit. Grateful for the link as well everyone. Wouldn't even have had a chance to click if it wasn't for you guys!

Me too.

i got confirmation within 10 seconds. Thank you HLJ for the randomness. I can never get PO at hobbysearch and amiami since everyone plus their pet knows it will open at this certain time.

It's weird actually at HLJ. It keeps on asking me to login everytime I'm in the choose shipping page. I did that like 5 times. And it just goes back to the login page. Kinda what happened to me during the DX VF-31F preorder night. I tried on my iPhone and the order went thru. Hope I nab one though. Just waiting for the confirmation email.

I guess so. I have to clean up registration and cookies. Or might as well reinstall Firefox.

 

[Shukenzero]

No confirmation yet and not showing up on my open orders

[F360]

cdjapan is already sold out, got their email alert, and click on the link, SOLD OUT.   

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-226971

the funny part is if you click on their [proxy shopping search] you will see Amiami.

I really don't know how you guys do the search at HLJ, regardless,  thanks, I got this and the Messer DX because of the people here at the forum.

[Falcon]

No link to cdjapan? Man, I can't even find it on their search function... so hard.

That's the problem with regular Search at HLJ. You have to use their Advanced Search option.

I wonder if it's the same for CDJapan...

[no3Ljm]

Yes! Got my email confirmation from HLJ. Time to go to bed.

Good night guys! And thanks again F360!

 

Edit: Order stop at HLJ but the price posted is already Y19000 from Y17100.

I updated the link on my post. Cdjapan sometimes have some weird links that you can't even see certain items from your browser and can only see it from your email link on your phone.

[Atheonyirh]

Finally got my confirmation mail, like 20 minutes later.

[Shukenzero]

Confirmation! Big thanks again guys!

If you're in the USA, then there's no worries, since it's a standard release, you should see pre orders opening up at pretty much all the usual webstores

edit: still got cart jacked, why do we have to pick so many options when POing in this site.

Damn late to the game again due to meetings during the po timing

[Loop]

Damn, I missed this because I left work yesterday after throwing up due to stomach flu. I just woke up after sleeping since like about 5pm yesterday

[no3Ljm]

Sorry to hear that some missed the PO. Just register at figinstock so you guys can get notifications once it opens again.

The stores in the states should be up in 2 days and of course something goes wrong on preorder night. 

[Loop]

Yeah, it figures that my luck would be as such though... I guess puking makes you forget about a lot of things lol. I had a post it attached to my monitor in my office, but I never even made it in to my office I went straight to bed.

[General Rasp]

Yeah, the Metal Build pre-order opened and closed so fast I didn't get a notification. 

[anime52k8]

God dammit. I completely forgot about this. I'm kind of hoping that these get imported officially and I can just snag one for retail off amazon or BBTS.

[Aye Aye]

Metal Build insanity! Well, this one was a long time coming for a lot of us MB fans. Able to finally complete the collection gap from the outrageous secondary prices of the original release. Didn't pay any attention to the announced PO, but my last attempts at securing any PO with Japan retailers has been fruitless. Paying the US surcharge from on the respected  retailers has been the only true way of securing these as of late...ugh. 

[Aye Aye]

Really want Bandai to begin producing more molds away from Seed and 00 though. The F91 is the right step, but they need another announced UC (or other series) suit. What about a MB Turn A? 

[Shukenzero]

Amen to a Turn A Metal Build. Would be fantastic. Bandai need to get out of their comfort zone once in a decade and produce something different. The F91 is a good step in that direction.

[subie81]

I second that!! I'm more of a UC Gundam fan myself and wish they would make more UC Gundams. What happened to the poll Bandi had for the next Gundam metal build? Didn't the RX-93 Nu Gundam win that poll?!!! I've been waiting for that Gundam to be a metal build!!

As for as waiting for the US retailers to carry the metal build Gundams, I don't want to pay the high mark up. I'd rather get it through a Japanese etailer. 

I was able to secure a pre order through HLJ for the mb 00 Seven Sword/G. I maybe interested in trading pre orders for the MB F91 through a Japanese etailer (preferably HLJ). Pm me if anyone wants to trade!

[anime52k8]

if it get's officially imported it'll probably be cheaper than from Japanese shops since you won't have to pay for shipping.

Really? I remember getting mb strike freedom from hlj at its pre order price of 20,000 yen I believe and bbts had it for $239.00 plus shipping if I'm not mistaken. Plus I don't ship ems. I usually ship SAL. Hlj has the MB f91 for 17,100 yen and bbts has it for $214.99 which is absurd!!! With SAL shipping (if available) would still be cheaper than bbts. Plus bbts will charge you for shipping (maybe $6 or $7) with their super saver option.

[anime52k8]

I haven't been interested in the last few MB figures, but I've been getting a lot of Robot damashii and Figuarts from Amazon and they're all at basically retail.

[subie81]

That's robot damashii and Figuarts though. The US reatilers know that the MB Gundams sell like hot cakes and pre orders on the Japanese sites go by quick (almost like dx Macross figures) so they use that to their advantage and mark the hell up on them. Figuarts and robot damashii don't sell out quick for pre orders like metal build. You can still get figuarts and robot damashii figures (depending on the character) days sometimes weeks after their initial pre order date.
