Macrossmerrell Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I managed to snag one after 100 failed attempts to get to / through the checkout process @ Amiami. Quote
Loop Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Looks like the one I thought errored out on CDJ also went through. I guess I have 2 of this one now. Quote
takatoys Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Finally! Amiami worked for me. Thanks for the headsup on the second call. Quote
xrentonx Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Yeah, Amiami is weird. It failed my login like fifteen times before it let me check out a different item. Edited July 1, 2015 by xrentonx Quote
treatment Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) hlj is up, but no Hi-Metal R Hikaru-1S on general search. Anybody got their secure link for it? Edited July 1, 2015 by treatment Quote
aaajin Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Blame aaajin for getting the last one at ami's, as ami's po is closed now. the last one? or two...who knows...*evil laugh* seriously, I only PO'd one. I suwwearr... Quote
F360 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 the last one? or two...who knows...*evil laugh* seriously, I only PO'd one. I suwwearr... like one from each store..... Quote
neoexcaliber Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 hlj is up, but no Hi-Metal R Hikaru-1S on general search. Anybody got their secure link for it? Its not in their catalogue yet and HLJ mentioned the securelink bug will no longer work. Quote
aaajin Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 like one from each store..... naw..one is aplenty for me. trying to get hlj's link for a friend...anybody? no, I mean really...for a friend...an imaginary one... no seriously a real friend. Quote
Saburo Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Got one from Ami Ami... I feel something is wrong... I have never been able to get a PO with them. Oh well, it was good to be in the not-so-madness. Good luck everyone! Quote
treatment Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 just a partial madness. maybe the scalpers got internet issues to have made ami's po last longer than usual... Quote
Gunn Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I'm not trying to scare you... but really... IT IS. Good luck preodering one on the less than 5 second window that they offer. Oh... and be careful too on those so-called 'cartjackers'. Now I'm pretty sure you know how ugly it can get during PO nights. What a harrowing experience. Since I've just started collecting I've been lucky in that all my PO's were for mechs that collectors already have or do not want, so they were easily obtained. But this was ridiculous. Staying up till 3am (PST) hitting refresh, hoping to get to the next page of the order form, then watching in horror as something screws up and you're back at square one but now it's all sold out. All that in a span of a couple minutes. I don't know how you guys do it for so many new releases... Quote
F360 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 The scalpers went for the MB Freedom, it sold out faster at hobbysearch then even Amiami. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 The scalpers went for the MB Freedom, it sold out faster at hobbysearch then even Amiami. So what's why nothing appeared when I refreshed it. I didn't think it would be that popular. Quote
CRYO Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Sites crash and crash But finally I can placed my orders Quote

lavinrac Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 No I will never get to find out what Pigeon Lloyd mode looks like. Quote
Raya1823 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 AAGGGHHH!!!!! Still nothing at HLJ or NY. F' it going back to bed, lol. Quote
aaajin Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 wasnt able to order the first time Ami2 had it up, then crashed, F5-spam, checked MW, someone posted its back on, went to site, F5 spam, got one, log-in was slow, finally logged in and placed the order. Quote
Loop Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 For some reason when I got mine from Amiami, it went through super fast. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I think many of us managed to get one from Amiami. Quote
Old Man Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I still have one in my cart at Amiami, but by the time I was able to checkout their stock had run out... Quote
aaajin Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Not sure to call them scalpers or not, but for sure they arent much marked up than MSRP + shipping from Japan. Prolly $18-$20 higher than what we all scored here.

Gun pod 78 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Well it looks like there will not be a pre-order for hlj. Quote
Old Man Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Has anyone had problems with cdjapan? They said my card was declined for some reason, so they will attempt again. Is my order still secure until then? Quote
F360 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Has anyone had problems with cdjapan? They said my card was declined for some reason, so they will attempt again. Is my order still secure until then? It should be, I was declined for my first CC order too, it's because it's a international transaction. But when they run it again the next day , it went fine. just look up your order status in a day.

treatment Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Has anyone had problems with cdjapan? They said my card was declined for some reason, so they will attempt again. Is my order still secure until then? Possible that your card's fraud-alert got triggered somehow. Better call your card's cs to clear it up. Quote
aaajin Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Well it looks like there will not be a pre-order for hlj. what's up with that? are they "punishing" us for abusing their secured link during the VF-19 preorder? Quote
treatment Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 what's up with that? are they "punishing" us for abusing their secured link during the VF-19 preorder? lol! They're prolly just busy prioritizing packing stuff for their annual SDCC visit instead... Quote
Old Man Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Thanks for the speedy replies, F360 and treatment Quote
Gun pod 78 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 what's up with that? are they "punishing" us for abusing their secured link during the VF-19 preorder? Could be, that or the time before when hlj crashed on the vf-1j high metal. Quote
