neoexcaliber Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Ok, so based on Amiami, purchase limit is 'Max 1 quantities per household'. I think everyone has a chance of getting one. Woohoo! http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=TOY-RBT-1891 Good luck everyone! That 1 per customer limit has not extended the pre-order window past 30 seconds. Quote
skullmilitia Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Honestly I think this won't be that hard to get eventually. I think the Alto reissues were a test. Bandai probably finally saw people Buying multiples for the different add ons. Quote
SaitouSad Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Quick, somebody ready the "Gone in 60 Seconds" Movie posterI really wanna just fill my quota and be done with this bloody line. After this and the YF-30, I think I'm pretty much set for a long time Quote
no3Ljm Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 That 1 per customer limit has not extended the pre-order window past 30 seconds. It's worth the try though. Hehehe. And I just remember that a month or a month and a half ago, I read on the other threads how they don't want to order again at Amiami due to bad customer service or something-something, yet here we are again. I'm sure a lot of members are on their 'F5 Standby Mode' now. Hehehe. Quote

Bandai probably finally saw people Buying multiples for the different add ons. Hoping that's true. I think Bandai got tired of those scalpers. Bet after the upcoming PO window, those $400+ priced VF-25S will go down for sure. If so, I might grab that one too and use that first release on changing the yellow stripes. And keep the newer one. Assuming I won't nab a second copy at Amiami. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) i'm not ordering from them. and that's different, those were "made to order" meaning it was unlimited, so you can chose who to order from. the best choice was the one with best customer service. now on extremely limited items, more people will take a chance regardless of risk. bc you can't get replacement parts through bandai regardless who you shop from. so customer service really doesn't matter with these.

VF-Zer0S Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I'm still iffy on getting one I'll get one and If I decide not to keep it down the road, I'll give the pre order to someone. Quote

I'm not instigating or anything. Sorry if you got offended. But I do agree. It's better to go where it has a good customer service. All I'm saying is during those incidents month and months ago, whether it is 'made/built to order' or 'mass released' as long that people are getting frustrated on contacting the overseas store when there some problems with the orders, the only thing we can do is bad mouth them. Saying things such as 'will not buy from them anymore', 'will not use them anymore', etc. But whenever there's a chance like this. Like how we know Amiami offers the best cheap price as a initial or reissue releases, we keep on coming back despite of the problems we have with them before. Quote
xrentonx Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) If I had my way, HLJ would get all my Bandai preorders...but alas it rarely works out that way. Lucky for me I haven't had any problems with any online store thus far. I'm in good standing with them and they haven't fu*cked me over. YMMV Edited August 1, 2014 by xrentonx Quote

Gakken85 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 all sites should limit small run niche toys like this. I mean... why would you want to tie up all your stock in clumps of people who might not buy 5 or 6 at a time? Then you have to back and sell those individually later. I bet that's why they open PO's so many times at HLJ. They count all the cancels and then list what's left. Quote
mickyg Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 One hour to go, peeps! All strapped in and ready to go? Quote
BuGS21 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Have to go through this event through my smart phone... Hope I don't lose batt! Quote
ULessa Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Is it just me or does amiami have some weird account bug where i have to keep logging in. Quote

Cool. Thanks. Well, just want to say sorry in advance if ever those other members might read my post later and give another meaning. I didn't mean no harm. But all I'm saying that whatever happened before already happened. And if ever those situations happened to me, for sure I will still buy from that same store over and over again just because of the price. It's really worth it as long that you'll get lucky on the first 5sec. Anyways, good luck to everyone. Time to refresh your browsers. Restart the computers. And a cup of coffee. 1 hour till countdown... Quote
brouken Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Have to go through this event through my smart phone... Hope I don't lose batt! Wow, I actually had to do that before when I pre-ordered the YF-29 Ozma over at NY. Just make sure your internet connection is up and running! :-) Quote
Drad Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Yeah, I'm ready. I hope I can get one. After this I'm gonna go watch "Guardians Of The Galaxy." Quote

BlueMax Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Good luck to everyone! I haven't got lucky as far as i remember, and honestly i am not expecting any different, but one can always hope... Quote
brouken Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Just to keep everyone's spirits up: Even if we miss the ami-ami preorder, I'm sure NY and HLJ will have this in stock as well. Its not like we're fighting for a limited number of stocks. This is a re-issue after all. All of us who are in line at ami-ami now are simply in it for the 17% discount, and I guess the thrill of getting the first pre-order. :-) I still hope and pray that there's enough pre-order slots for everyone who's lined up here.

chyll2 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Is it just me or does amiami have some weird account bug where i have to keep logging in. it is not a bug I think, it has been that way since as far as I know. Quote
xrentonx Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) it is not a bug I think, it has been that way since as far as I know. Yep, it happens to me too...same thing with HLJ. Edited August 1, 2014 by xrentonx Quote
xrentonx Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Do the three S's fast and come back! (sh*it, shower, shave) Quote
ULessa Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I'm somehow not as stoked about this as I should be. Still want one though! Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Even if we miss the ami-ami preorder, I'm sure NY and HLJ will have this in stock as well. Its not like we're fighting for a limited number of stocks This is why everyone is staying up, as stock is limited; we just don't know the amount of units. With sky-high demand, this is THE valk, and most of us don't want to pay scalper prices. Quote
Tking22 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Wow, I'm glad I have zero interest in Macross Frontier, Ozma, or the 25 Messiah, but I know everyone has been spazzing and twitching over this re-release for awhile, good luck everyone. Quote
XFJ-01A Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Good luck to anyone who's trying to get one tonight. Hopefully it wont be like the YF-30 Launch..... Quote
Valkyrie2008 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Do the three S's fast and come back! (sh*it, shower, shave) Only had time for two S, saved one S for Ozma! Quote
Benson13 Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 TKing, you just don't realize you have interest yet. Your best bet is to preorder and cancel it later. Quote
Duymon Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 These are those times where it where it helps to have three Screens Quote
ULessa Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 Any idea if hobbysearch is going to have the S in stock? Quote
xrentonx Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 It will just like every other place. I can't remember if they delay a few hours or not though. Quote
