DX VF-25 Renewal Series (Part III)

[chyll2]

I know there was a link that someone found, just don't know how you can know they have it. When you use their search function, VF-25S doesn't show anything...

since this is a re-release you can just use the old product listing and keep refreshing.

[technoblue]

I was watching AmiAmi, HobbySearch, CDJ, and NY. The link to buy never showed up for me at AmiAmi or HobbySearch. I refreshed both pages and then noticed the sold out/reservation closed status. CDJ gave me the link and I was able to make it to the payment screen. Because I have a PayPal balance, I didn't hesitate.

since this is a re-release you can just use the old product listing and keep refreshing.

^^This. If CDJ gets extra stock like they have for the YF-30, then I think it will appear in the standard listings later on.

Edit: Order confirmed. I'm going to bed.

30secs ?!! - I never saw anything but one F5 to Sold Out!!!

[anime52k8]

Yeah...patience, guys. Trust the old timers.

it'll re-open on all the sites periodically for the next couple hours for a few seconds~minutes at a time. then a week from now HLJ will list it for about a minute. Then NY will have it available from then until release day at ever increasing scalper prices. And then a HLJ/AmiAmi/Hobbysearch will all have it available right around release time for hours at a time.

and people will somehow still miss it and complain about how they weren't able to get one.

[Loop]

I was actually checking out @ CDJ when the button for reserve showed up @ hobbysearch and could not get one there. I had added to cart at amiami then the next page was a sold out message. Has happened before at amiami with me. Amiami also lists it on rakuten and I think you are fighting both crowds. I am done with Amiami though so no skin...

[xrentonx]

Hahah...I guess people are still F5ing NY. It's still down.

I have found some alternative sources if you are still looking for one.

DISCLAIMER

I have no idea how pre-orders work for proxies! If you click the item, you can also head to the original site it is being sold on. I have not tried it myself but these are places when I try to look for a deal. There's some rakuten shops that have them.

Ahh, ok then. If that's the case, how can you find it? Just hope you see it on the homepage?

[Gakken85]

[TCracker]

[close313]

I got none. Boo.

What's that in your DP ?

[treatment]

roflmao!

maybe NY cartjacked all of you from the other sites as to why they're still down...

[Loop]

Anime is on point there, we see that every time these open up lol.

[Skull005]

NY site is back but nothing yet

[The Old Man]

trying to decide if I should get a yf-30 or wait for HLJ....

I had purchase envy, so I bagged a 30

[neoexcaliber]

I clicked the wrong button and had to redo the checkout process at HS.

[wm cheng]

Boo! 30mins later and still nothing from NY other than site down for maintenance - gotta go to bed to get up for work tomorrow. Good luck everybody, hope you guys have better luck than me. Hope NY has some left at decent prices when I wake up in 2.5hrs for another 12hr day

[xrentonx]

NY puts up the pages for the preorders one by one so it takes awhile sometimes. If you refresh the new products page, you'll notice it.

[Shukenzero]

NY down again

[Bahamutzyro]

what crap. at least i got to see guardians of the galaxy last night which i rate 5 stars!

[Loop]

NY opens later most the time with these, just keep checking they add 1 item every 30 to 60 minutes or so.

I tried to browse this but whenever I try the estimate link. And once I put US. It won't ship to the US.

[chyll2]

NY down again

haha I was about to say it is up but yeah, went down again

[brouken]

Wow, so this is the famed pre-order madness! Very interesting! :-)

All I got to see was the Add to cart button at Amiami. Then, gone. :-)

[xrentonx]

It's quite an experience. We've all been doing this for a long time with Bandai and we always dread it

The only saving grace is I'm on the west coast so it's not as bad as it could be. I feel bad for the east coast people.

Does that mean I'm a full fledged MW member now? :-D

[pikashoo]

cart jacked from ami, HS, and cdjapan. First time ever not getting any. Damn

I have seen this before preordering other stuff which is why I am not panicking. But man, nothing like this. This is insanity. I will try for a bit longer,then to bed.

[Saburo]

Yes, that was the madness.

You also got to see more than most people, you saw the ever elusive Add to Cart button. hahaha

[BlueMax]

This is not the 1st time ordering fro Amiami and based from past experiences... being not able to order one is perfectly normal and expected, though not to say I am happy about it at all, just that i don't rage about it like the 1st couple of times i tried

[ff95gj]

Does that mean I'm a full fledged MW member now? :-D

You can proudly say so. We F5ed together, cursed together, and prepared for the next madness together. A job well done, brothers.

[Skull005]

Sometimes I wonder why I do such crazy things for this stuff. I don't even play with these toys...
