DX Chogokin Super VF-27

[Loop]

Mine is also showing in my open orders.

[xrentonx]

Yep...confirmed in my processing orders in the WH. All's right with me

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

Got my order in. No more late night preorder shenanigans for me, I hope.

glad you got yours

[Chronocidal]

Actually, I won't be surprised if HLJ cancels one of my orders. I think it did say I could only get one, but I had time to add a second order on the same account.

[SaitouSad]

the best part about getting this at HLJ, is that I can ship it with my RVF-25.

I just hope HLJ doesn't screw up my warehouse storage (it happened once last year)

Plus, HLJ came through on me today, by having Ryuseimaru in stock as well

So even though it says order stop in your account setting, if you got the email you secured one at HlJ, Right?

For the most part, not aware of HLJ having a bad track record but I did have to wait for a third round of restock (after ordering during the 2nd restock) of the YF-29.

If you got an order in with no funky error messages and an email confirmation then you should be OK. I'm not worried and I've shopped w HLJ for over 12 years.

5% markdown is still better than retail and/or NY markup.however,not as tasty as AmiAmi and hobbysearch markdowns :0

The only hope now is for otacute marked down VF_27 for those that want to get this valk at a non-retarded price

[SuperHobo]

Cool and congrats to everyone who got one. I'm done. The nonsense with HLJ just now was the last straw. Peace.

[Valkyrie23]

I didn't see a limit listed, but 1 is all I need. See how much longer and better the pre order works when you limit 1 per person?

[moose]

Come on NY come through for us

[Sephiroth]

I swear, Lucifer was making me go bi-polar...I was so excited just before 3 AM, then really disappointed for almost an hour and then super excited when I refreshed my HLJ search window and saw it finally up, and then biting my nails when I couldn't remember my HLJ password and had to get it re-sent to me, and then beyond happy when I checked out and got my confirmation e-mail. HLJ really made all the effort and perseverance worth it. Domo arigato!

[Chronocidal]

Can anyone say for sure that HLJ only let them buy one? If so, I can cancel one of mine to attempt to let someone else grab it.

[mechaninac]

Just look at your account on the site, it will be there in a few minutes. Sometimes their email confirmations take a while.

Nope. It says I have ZERO orders processing, and no open orders. I got shot down for sure...

[Valkyrie23]

Chronicidal - You're better off holding onto it and making private arrangements with another member. I'm sure HLJ is on Chinese Scalper watch now and they'll just snatch it up

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

it's so funny that HLJ is using the same old photo amiami is using for the non-renewal as the front pic

[Duymon]

hlj has a limit of one. it showed up as red text when checking out. Easily bypassed though by having a backup account that ships to my workplace. that's how I got two Altos off another site for 126.90

[neoexcaliber]

I asked them about it once due to an error and they advised me not to do it or they'll cancel all my orders and ban my account.

[Lolicon]

The last photo on the right shows the correct, updated photo.

Reason I say that is because if I cancel it manually, it might go back into their stock right away. If they cancel it for me sometime in the next few hours, who knows when it'll happen?

[Duymon]

If you don't see this you didn't get it. If you do congrats!

[mechaninac]

Enough of this. I'm off to sleep

[Murphy]

WTH, mine says order stop, where aug release is, did I get one or not?

[SaitouSad]

The chinese fans have an equally hard time buying these too. They're not all scalpers

Plus, I get the feeling most of the scalpers are just the Japanese sellers (I mean look at YJA).

[Chronocidal]

I asked them about it once due to an error and they advised me not to do it or they'll cancel all my orders and ban my account.

K, to clarify, do what? I tried to order two, so I'm guessing they'll just cancel one, but you're saying they might ban my account if I cancel it myself?

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

just like amiami's photo set

[xrentonx]

Right now Anime Export is the last preorder to open as far as I know. NY also has yet to re-up their 2nd round preorder...

Damn, had a customer pay a visit just as I was logging into my HLJ account to order

By the time I'd got rid of the customer, it was order stop

[royard]

WTH, mine says order stop, where aug release is, did I get one or not?

You got it. That phrase does not matter.

[pikashoo]

I cry bs on ami ami and hobby search. they both have limit of 1 like HLJ but look how much longer HLJ lasted. Either they secretly selling their stock to someone else or aren't getting much stock.

[neoexcaliber]

K, to clarify, do what? I tried to order two, so I'm guessing they'll just cancel one, but you're saying they might ban my account if I cancel it myself?

Err no. They said if they caught anyone ordering more than 1, they'll cancel the orders and suspend their account. Maybe it depends on whether or not you're a repeat offender.

[xrentonx]

^^^ Yeah, ignore that. It's normal ("Order Stop" on HLJ)

Edited May 8, 2013 by xrentonx

[SaitouSad]

The way I see it, Amiami's japanese page always get updated first. The scalpers and fans will always get first dibs.
The same might be likely true for Hobby Search

[Chronocidal]

Err no. They said if they caught anyone ordering more than 1, they'll cancel the orders and suspend their account. Maybe it depends on whether or not you're a repeat offender.

Well crap, ok, I'm emailing them and saying I ordered two on accident then

[shdwfx2000]

it says the date it is supposed to be released, or its current status. like if you order one that is backordered, it will say backordered. if it is still available to order, it will say the release date.

[Duymon]

The Anime-export preorder, if it goes up tonight, is the one I don't like because you have to pay upfront and they are slooooooooooooooow to ship (took 2 months for them to ship me my alto super parts and galia 4 set)
