Sandman Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Tried ordering from Amazon japan. Won't ship to my address(Canada). Does anyone know a way around this? I know i've heard of people on this board ordering from them before. Quote
Lupin The Third Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Hahahah...deep breaths, buddy. Deep breaths. Maybe step away from the computer for a bit and come back. Haha..true. Obviously I'm just really pissed. Probably wont dump the collection but it's super late here and finding out that Bandai screwed the fans again just plain sucks. There's no reason to support a company that makes insta-break toys that only the scalpers can even get ahold of so I'm just not going to play their games and support them going forward. Hopefully Yamato can take better care of fans down the road. Their stuff may break too but at least you can find it for a fair price. Tried ordering from Amazon japan.

They don't ship internationally (at least on games, dvds/cds, toys, etc) so you'd need someone in Japan to take delivery & forward the product to you. Quote

They haven't done me wrong yet at least. It's late here and I've got a funeral to attend tomorrow. Looks like I'll be refreshing HLJ when I wake up and probably all day tomorrow. This and the MGS Rex. What a fun couple days this is going to be for my wallet. Quote
charger69 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) orders back up, i got mine http://www.amiami.jp...0%24pagecnt%3D1 and SOLD OUT again Edited March 1, 2012 by charger69 Quote
Negotiator Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 OMG, i was just about to close ami's window and decided to refresh one more time. My heart skipped a beat, but I got one.... Quote
OmegaD3k Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Say what you want about Yamato, at least you can actually purchase their items months after release. That alone is worth the price they ask for, rather than the jacked up ones we'll see on eBay for the VF-171. Edited March 1, 2012 by OmegaD3k Quote
Swoosh Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Wow, got mine right after I saw Murphy's post... and sold out again in 2 mins later? Quote
shdwfx2000 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Got mine in too. Confirmation number email in. Take that for being useful insomnia:-P Quote
charger69 Posted March 1, 2012 Author Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Couldn't decide fast and missed the opportunity! (Thanks to a busy day in the office) Edited March 1, 2012 by charger69 Quote
Negotiator Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I'm glad I was able to secure one, but it still pisses me off with how ridiculous it is to not be able to get something that is still on pre-order. 5 min windows...really??? and I thought TF hunting was a bitch. Quote
valid Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 demn when did they open the sales? i missed the window already Quote
Old Man Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) I GOT MINE!!!! Nice! Edited March 1, 2012 by Old Man Quote
eyesonme78 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 It's out.. no choice I hve to use my backup local source .. but its ex..full price with no discount... Sighs.. Quote
Isamu Dyson Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Whoa - Refreshing for the last 10 minutes. Suddenly Available, 60 - second snipe and confirmed. Refreshed to make sure it is available. 10 seconds Macross World Post. Now Gone again. Total window time is 2 Minutes. Why does AmiAmi keep triggering the orders? For those sniping, watch out for the every 15 minute window. 155am 210am 225am. After watching everyone's posting time it seems like they are slowly adding a few available on a certain time slot. No specific evidence but just a hunch. I guess no one is sleeping over here in North America. Edited March 1, 2012 by Isamu Dyson Quote
skull_leader001 Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 in my country 4:45 AM .... im very happy! Quote
Isamu Dyson Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 2:54am here in Vancouver Pacific Time also very happy. Almost close to 3:00 so I will test my theory in the next 10 minutes and see if it is available for others over here. Wondering who is winning the ordering race Japan, HK, or the International team? Quote
Isamu Dyson Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Okay I'm wrong, it's total chance. For those still hunting, good luck and keep clicking or pressing refresh. I know this sucks but I tell ya, Nothing feels so exciting as to click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - click - sold out - ADD TO CART - Huh??? OMG hurry hurry hurry , payment method, shipping, yadda yadda - confirm purchase - your order number - YEAHHHH BABY! Pumping fists in the air and then saying okay I got one now where the hell am I going to get another for a cheap price? Quote
Isamu Dyson Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 No I got it about an hour ago - I think I came across in the 3rd wave of availability. I work in the Izakaya industry so I don't sleep until early morning. I've been checking up on it every 10 minutes for us Macross World Members and will continue to do so for the next few hours. Quote
Dobber Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 did anyone actually get an order in with HLJ or is it just a place holder ATM? Quote
Darth Mingus Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 well, I got as far as adding one to my cart on Hobby Search. In the time it took me to log in, they were all gone. Quote
