Lol, my boss just asked me to fill in night shift on pre-order day. How fortunate, I get to be up and on a computer during the .000001 second preorder madness.

Thanks Duymon for volunteering to do the group buy for us :D

I might just buy the tornado michael for the tornado parts, and then put them on my michael renewal using the instructions from GBM shop.

...Why? Bandai will probably release a renewal tornado pack for much cheaper than this.

oh man.. glad i logged in this weekend.. gonna be a stressful Monday at work for me :(

Hope I'll be able to get 1 or 2 of these
After that, it's the VF-25S and the respective Armor and Super Parts (actually, I only really want the armor parts)

At least you have 1... most of us don't even have any :(

I was reading the toysdaily link. Seems quite a fair no. of HKers are looking forward to getting this as well.

Not looking forward to being able to secure 1 in the middle of work tomorrow (again). :(

This hahahah

Man, it just does not end does it? I'm pretty much missing this one to complete Skull platoon. I have to get one cause I have Alto's Armor and Super pack just sitting here.

Posted

The thing is that Alto was actually the easiest to get, probably that's why Graham was able to snag two. I didn't even pre-order one. He sat around at shops for a few weeks after release before I decided to go for it.

I think most of us were waiting for reviews to hit, you know after the problems the version 1 had.

Posted

That's pretty much what happened in my case. I waited around for actual reviews and when the time came, it was too late. Once I started getting a little wise, I was eventually able to snag an Ozma without preordering but that was pure luck.

I actually got Alto and Ozma although I missed the pre-order. I paid a bit more than I would have liked to for the Alto, but not the super high prices I have seen on ebay and the likes. I actually got my Ozma and super parts for a decent combo price new and unopened. I'd chalk that all up to luck or just good ole plain scouring the net for a decent price.

Posted

Yeah, I got Ozma from HLJ at a normal price after release. I don't think I'll ever have that situation again. :(

Posted

By my calculations----2AM tonight, in the Central US. Or a bit under 11 hours from now.

Though I suspect HLJ won't be doing it until later, possibly days. (depends on how much weekend/Easter holiday they take off)

Anime Export, Amiami, Nippon Yasan, CDJapan

btw, i cant find the source for the preorder schedule.

It is a rule imposed by Tamashii Nations Japan: pre-opening sales of their products can be done before updating their site and before the first of the month. Pre-sales can not begin before 04:00 pm (Japan time).

This rule has long been known by collectors of Saint Cloth Myth (myself included) thanks to people who work for stores in Japan (CDJapan among others).

None of the above----you keep refreshing those websites like a madman around the time they should open their orders up, and pray you can complete the checkout process ahead of the other 10,000 people trying to do the same thing. Price will be mostly irrelevant--you'll pay whatever the site is asking for, assuming you can secure one. Real rough guess---$130 to $180, plus shipping.

Posted

to anyone who has gotten a preorder within that few second window, does any of the mentioned sites require payment up front? my credit card always initially rejects international transactions and I have to complain on the phone for 10 minutes before it gets resolved.

Gonna be a fun night shift for me :D I work at a Japanese telco in NY and we have a direct 10Gig link to Japan. Latency - free pre-ordering
