Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 yeah, just taking a stab at speculation. but even if they were going to be widely avail in july, most retailers will be conservative in pre-orders bc of shortages last year that led to a lot of cancellations and shops not getting some allotments at all thus causing this frenzy.

SaitouSad Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Otacute tends to have a stock limit, so it will go to Out of stock status once they run out.Wonder how they managed to get more. Quote

SaitouSad Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 stole them from nippon yasan's grey market. haha That'll be cool though. It's the same price as their original preorder Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 the site says one pre order per person, has anyone ever had any experience pre ordering two from otacute? Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 And it's gone.Guess they didn't have a lot of stock.Also probably cause the scalpers didn't know they would have extra stock Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 we beat out the scalpers!!! congrats to everyone who got one. Quote
SaitouSad Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 the site says one pre order per person, has anyone ever had any experience pre ordering two from otacute? Doesn't the system stop you from buying more than 1 anyway? Quote
Rabidweezil Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 I stand corrected. Anyways, thanks for the heads up pikashoo! Quote
Frogze Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks to you pikashoo, I got an order in while it lasted Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Doesn't the system stop you from buying more than 1 anyway? i ordered two by accident. i didn't read any of the description and went right to check out fast, as these windows can close in an instant.(i didn't know it would last this long). i rushed twice. after checking out. i went back to see the item page and actually read it was one per person... edit: i'm sure they will catch it and cancel one of my pre-orders Edited April 10, 2013 by davidwhangchoi Quote
sil80jdm Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Dang it!!! I just barely missed out didnt think anymore would go up so I took a longer break from checking the forum... Quote
wm cheng Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 What?! that serves me right for taking an early lunch... argh! Quote
Duymon Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Doesn't the system stop you from buying more than 1 anyway? Yeah, but it's so easy to bypass that. For example, my brother lives nextdoor. I could just order one for me and one for him. since we have separate paypals, emails, etc we could easily grab 2. Quote
pikashoo Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks to you pikashoo, I got an order in while it lasted welcome. hopefully they come through on everyone lucky enough to grab one. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) welcome. hopefully they come through on everyone lucky enough to grab one. i think you healed my heartbreak from april 3rd. that was my b-day and i stayed all night trying to get one. i had one in my cart @ amiami but i couldn't check out. spent my whole birthday morning hitting f5.

Would be interesting to see the outcome Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 yeah np! i'll let you know if any of my order status changes or e-mail cancellations. i'm pretty sure they'll cancel it. hopefully they wont cancel both my pre-orders!!! Quote
shawnlee1981 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Surprisingly found one site still offering the SP set for Alto. Also still available is the SP and AP for Ozma. So anyone still looking for them make a quick visit to yokattaweb before its gone! Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 the ship date is for April 2012, I don't think I'd expect to have that order actually go through on that site. Quote
miro79 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) one question: Do the renewals come with a stand? EDIT: Just found out myself. They do! Edited April 10, 2013 by miro79 Quote
skullmilitia Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 one question: Do the renewals come with a stand? Sure do Quote
Lolicon Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Wow! Didn't expect a preorder to open up in the middle of the night (in Japan)! Quote
erikos0311 Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Hmmm....?? Maybe they did it with the U.S. market in mind ...? Quote
xrentonx Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Does anyone remember if Otacute opened their preorders previously? Congrats guys Was this for the 25F? Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 yeah, this was for the vf-25F and this was the second round of pre-orders Quote
xrentonx Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 Interesting! Wondering if they were just holding a few more of their allotments for the second round... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 were you able to get a pre-order for one yet? you helped alot of people get one. Quote
