Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Wow! I checked after I placed my order and it was still available. Bandai really is sitting on a gold mine here. Chris Edited February 7, 2012 by Dobber
H1tokiri Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for the heads up! Pre-ordered! Chris HLJ normally gives an order notification, don't they? I didn't receive one, did you?
Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hmm, you're correct. They normally send the order aknolwledemnet email immediately then the order confirmation later, but I didn't get either. Maybe I didn't get one after all. Chris Oh, the 29 isn't even showing on the page anymore either! Maybe that has something to do with it. Chris
H1tokiri Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Likewise, I didn't get either email. Hmm.. Oh, the item still shows if you check the show discontinues items box. Well, if you are willing to shell out more: http://www.etoysjapan.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=1887&category_id=185&manufacturer_id=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=2&vmcchk=1&Itemid=2
funkymonkeyjavajunky Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
pud333 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 These are the shortest preorder windows ever. Wow.
Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Hell, I'm not even sure if I got my order in. Guess I'll drop them an email if I don't receive an order acknowledgement in a day or so. Chris
Valkyrie23 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) I missed out, too. Dammit is it that hard to give Bandai my money?! Edited February 7, 2012 by Valkyrie23
xrentonx Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Tried twice and got no email confirmation. What the hell. I only want one
pud333 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 If you guys successfully went through the checkout process, you should be fine. Maybe get confirmation within next few hours or by tomorrow at latest. Regardless, nothing you can do about it now. Emailing them is useless if you want an immediate response. They usually respond to emails in a day or two.
Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah I figured as much, but looking at their FAQ they say to email them if you got no email at all, so I sent them an email anyway. Chris
pud333 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah I figured as much, but looking at their FAQ they say to email them if you got no email at all, so I sent them an email anyway. Chris Doesn't hurt to take extra precautions
xrentonx Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I put my order in at 3am last night so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Still no email as of this morning though. I was up late last night and caught it just in time. 15 minutes later they took it down
locidm Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I wonder if it's just a lot of scalpers out there buying all available quantities or just that the numbers are so limited that the few ppl who happened to be watching during those 15 minutes got them all....... I mean, 3AM in CA, 6AM in NY, pretty much none of us in US would be in front of the computer.
Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, I was only up because of my kids, had to get my son ready for school + plus the both of them always get up early. After I get his lunch made I do a quick search. Chris

xrentonx Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 I came home really late and dutifully checked like I've been doing since the announcement. I fear it might not have gone through though. I'm trying to get one before all the flippers do. I have no intention of selling the thing and I'll be damned to pay those prices on eBay.
locidm Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 BBTS has it, not cheap, $259.99 http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=BAN14230&mode=retail
pud333 Posted February 7, 2012 Posted February 7, 2012 That's $35 more than what they sold the 29 for the first time.
Dobber Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 Just got my order confirmation from HLJ. Never thought I'd be greatful for the kids getting me up so early EVERY DAY! Lol! Chris
Tober Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 A mate of mine just got his confirmation email from HLJ.
BoaRepublic Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 It's not even on the HLJ site anymore ........
xrentonx Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Heads up, ladies and gentlemen, hlj confirmed both orders. I placed two in my sleep deprived panic so I am cancelling one. Hopefully one of you fine folk get the one I am cancelling.....as long as you ain't some dirty flipper/scalper. Edited February 8, 2012 by xrentonx
BoaRepublic Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 OK, I see it back on the site. Today I've seen the Green May status, Discontinued, Stop Order, totally gone.....and now it's back. Not nice! lol
Phalanix Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) And....Order Stop. f^ck... Can't believe I missed the order again. Why does Bandai make it so difficult to buy a damn toy. /sniff Edited February 8, 2012 by Phalanix
pud333 Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 f^ck... Can't believe I missed the order again. Why does Bandai make it so difficult to buy a damn toy. /sniff Low stock + Huge demand + Preorders going up during the day in Japan, which means middle of the night in North America = many, many sad pandas.
Mechamaniac Posted February 8, 2012 Posted February 8, 2012 BBTS has it, not cheap, $259.99 http://www.bigbadtoy...230&mode=retail Ordered one...just in case the whole (weird) AE thing falls through.
