royard Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Wow.. seriously the last place I'd expect to go up. At that price too. Just a quick check, is AE's track record any good? Not a clue. But they are legit and I haven't heard much bad words about them. Quote
jmx222 Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Manage to get 1. And now it's sold out at AE... AE is OK, previously got VF-25G Renew from them. Edited April 4, 2013 by jmx222 Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 AE is up, but I'm not paying 14 000jpy for one. dude, that's pretty much the retail price, what's not to like about it? Quote
Tober Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 dude, that's pretty much the retail price, what's not to like about it? I've ordered plenty of renewals, 171s and 29s through AE. Usually for 10-20% off. Take a look at their front pre-order page and check the discounts... Usually about 20%. Seems AE wait a day or so before listing because they know they can list for closer to full retail. Quote

But they are legit and I haven't heard much bad words about them. Pretty good! I got my 30th Anniversary yf-29 from them I think you have to pay up front though...but it's 150 bucks (the price it should be in the first place) Thanks for the reassurance Quote
Tober Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 I get 2 at AE I thought there is an order limit of 1 at AE..? Or do you have multiple accounts. Quote
xrentonx Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Hahah...I think I'm good now. Gonna catch some shut eye...finally Quote

royard Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 A report: NY began 3rd round of 20000 yen preordering at 05:47:10 (EDT) with 28 items available. Ended at 05:53:40. ---End of Transmission--- Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) so it sounds like most of the peeps here did finally get 1.

I wasn't going to order any, so I figured I'd do a real-time observation to see how quickly these go. It really is frightening. Note: I knew adding these to my cart won't screw other people up, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. Quote

Note: I knew adding these to my cart won't screw other people up, otherwise I wouldn't have done it. hey, that's a pretty neat trick! Would love to know the quantities on the other sites (but then again they only limit to 1 per customer). It's not very frightening to know this, when you consider that not only do we have MWers, we also have lurkers, and many many other asian fanbases that are scrambling for these as well. Perhaps even a few brick and motar shops are trying to scrape a few of these to add to their catalogue. Also scalper scums who are trying to make a quick buck off these. Quote
Kurisama Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Why all the cloak and dagger PMs? Clearly not something kosher - I thought MW was all about sharing? Quote
royard Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Report #2: NY began 1st round of 20500 yen preordering (14000, 20000, 20000, 20000 are known prior rounds) around 06:24 (EDT), with 31 items available at 06:25:10. Ended at 06:28:40. ---End of Transmission--- Personally, I'm really surprised that they haven't gone up to 24000, or at least 22000. Doesn't selling 30 units in 3 minutes tell them something about the desirability of their product? Why all the cloak and dagger PMs? Clearly not something kosher - I thought MW was all about sharing? It's more "the first guy send his wisdom via PM, so we are gonna do the same thing." I think it's more of a "being polite to the originator of the idea" thing. Edited April 4, 2013 by royard Quote
