Not to be serious but you guys need to learn to take a joke. lol or laugh out loud implies a laugh and I even said I was kidding the next message. I understood from the get go but it probably somehow got lost in the panic of the pre order

no one is serious. i actually don't care either way.

I ordered two times but ill send them an email in a bit explaining the mess. That said, it still shows two separate orders in my history meaning that there is still hope for those who didn't get one

and no, you didn't know from the get go how hlj works in releasing cancelled preorders or you wouldn't have posted that above.

i was simply confirming what he said. that's it.

Up at AE but the price is kinda steep at 20k yen. Meh. Might be a better idea to get one from NY.

Looks like hlj was the best deal for tonight. Edited by davidwhangchoi

I knew from the get go of when he told me, no need to add further to it if he explained it already. It only makes you look like well, an ass

Ok, since you want to start down that line. It's clear you're pretty immature by resorting to name calling.

But lol. That mean laughing out loud

Don't join in on the fun:) haha he was sensitive to be told something twice.

Hopefully this will be the last of the new Frontier Valks I need to worry about (I know, technically it's a Macross 30 release).
Now.. if only Bandai would just reissue the VF-25S, I can finally be done with this line.

Also, if anybody is interested, I have a spare order from CD Japan, which I will be letting go.

Alright goodnight guys. Lets continue tommorow. Congrats to all who got one. DSM, im just messing with you, dont take me serious. Lol that means laugh out loud.

Geez this is a painful process...I have email notifications on this but I'm out of the country so it's painful to lock it down but I will!! Thanks for the updates guys!

I think most everyone got one. What was HLJ's initial price? They have it for 20,000 yen currently with an order stop.

Posted

Damn i stalked HLJ for 2 nights until 12:00AM and they decide to put them up at 3 in the morning. F this, ill take my chances on release. I paid damn near $300 for my 27 at NY because i panicked so im not going with NY again.

Yeah it lasted about 4 minutes on hlj for 18000yen. It wasn't that great of a time and window.

Posted

What sucks is that HLJ had gotten into the habit of putting up pre-orders around 8-9 PM eastern :( Im still not buying from NY ill take a gamble when its released.

Posted

All the action happens in the dead of night ;)

Congrats to all who got one. Hopefully that's most of us at MW.

HLJ works on JST due to their location and they got customers worldwide so there will always be some for whom the timing is inconvenient.

Wow! Before I slept there was nothing at HLJ. But this morning BOOM! It was already sold out. :unsure: Can't believe they posted in the wee hours of morning (Pacific Time). Oh well, since it's already $190 something with them, guess I'll go with NY. Don't want to wait anymore if this will be available less price in the future atleast I'm already secured with a copy. And besides this will go with another PO with them. :lol:

Anyways, CONGRATS everyone!

There have been times that items are listed or updated during the daytime hours here (I'm EST). But for sure their main updates happen JST.

I'm proud of myself for not playing the pre-order game this time around, if I catch this I catch it, if not, well then more money in my pocket or for other stuff.

11PM Est is like what 10AM Japan? They can still try to time it to help some folks out. I know for the 29 they listed it around 8-9PM Est

Try to help WHO out? People in Europe, Middle East, Asia, Americas, etc?

Sad to say but the USA Anime market is rather small when compared to France, Italy, Middle East and Asia Pacific Markets.

Posted

America is no only the US. We got folks from Canada all the way down to Argentina. And considering its a company who is ran by Americans you'd think they would consider the US first.

So...looking at the higher resolution pictures on Hobby Search, if I get one it's definitely staying in Fighter Mode. The side profile of Battroid is way too busy, not to mention it looks like trying to get that thing to balance and/or finding room in a Detolf shelf will be a b!tch.

*edit, in Fighter I can display on a Flex or Bandai stand on a desk or other flat surface like my TV stand and not have to move stuff that's already out

Glad I got out of the frontier business. I toyed with staying up to grab one of these but I'm sure some stock will free up somewhere if I change my mind haha
