Tking22 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I seemed to have gotten lucky these past few Bandai pre-order nights, I once again nabbed all I wanted from HLJ. I grabbed my Max 1J, and I got my Figuarts AOTC Obi-Wan, Mk 3 Ironman, and Monsterarts Resurgence Godzilla. Quote
jvmacross Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 I didn't expect this to sell out. For those wanting a Max & Milia set... You can't have one if you are missing either the Max or the Milia....and it would seem most want the set... Bandai sets the rules of when you can expect to get a set at MSRP or less, so you are forced to "buy now"!.....unless you want to pay secondary market prices.... Quote
treatment Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 up at nippon-yasan 6720 yen https://www.nippon-yasan.com/17787-hi-metal-r-vf-1j-super-valkyrie-maximilian-jenius-custom.html 6720y is nice pricing. Hope they don't suddenly ask for more yen on release-day like they did with their Roy... Quote
Loop Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Damn, I fell asleep last night and totally forgot about Max until now This is the first Bandai pre-order I missed in a long time. Edited July 1, 2016 by Loop Quote

warrhead Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 F##############CK. The one night I drift off laying my daughter down and it had to be last night. I'm not desperate enough for the mykombini markup though. Quote

F##############CK. The one night I drift off laying my daughter down and it had to be last night. I'm not desperate enough for the mykombini markup though. Trust me, anyone who missed the first window at stores like HLJ, AmiAmi and Hobby Search, the orders will open up again. Randomly over the next couple of months and then right before, and after release. It's just a pain because you have to be patient and really stalk your store(s) of choice. -b. Quote
Mommar Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 mykombini will be more expensive than that. They charge an arm and a leg for shipping as well. Quote
Universe1010 Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 6720y is nice pricing. Hope they don't suddenly ask for more yen on release-day like they did with their Roy... They did the same with my gundam option wing set. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Crapppp fall asleep and couldnt preorder noooooo Quote
Roy Focker Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Mykombini pulled that crap with Hikaru too. They wait for the other stores to stop taking pre-orders. Then they put their pre-order up with a markup. Quote
Big s Posted July 1, 2016 Posted July 1, 2016 Well for anyone who missed out last nigh this thread is a good place to check back on. People here are very helpful and often post a link if a site opens up a preorder. Quote
Loop Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) The worst part is where I fell asleep, right in front of my computer slumped over in my chair... I woke up and went straight to bed without even thinking twice about it. Edited July 2, 2016 by Loop Quote
F360 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 The worst part is where I fell asleep, right in front of my computer slumped over in my chair... I woke up and went straight to bed without even thinking twice about it. maybe it's time to put a hi-metal valk on your pillow on preorder day. it happens to all of us. I fell asleep too. well more like I took a nap but none of my alarms woke me up. But somehow still got something. have everything setup , accounts, website. etc. set alarm to wake up 15 minutes early, went to bed. nature called, Woke up in the middle of the night, around 2:45am everything dark , all systems down, all lights out. WTF happen. (power outage reseted evertything) use my phone , power back on my computer only to find everything sold out. Then notice A-E posted their listing, ,click , click click, didn't really want to pay upfront. Then notice N-Y posted their listing, Jumped on it. Didn't get my other Metal Robot , had it in my cart from N-Y but was sold out before I finish. Look around a bit, then went back to bed, didn't hear any alarms again, Woke up at 6:30am all because the Crow near my window was doing his normal mating call. Jump out of bed, rush to work, show up 30 minutes late. Think I need a new alarm, remind myself to drink more water on preorder nights, and toss some bread to the Crow tomorrow. Quote

I noticed that Roy put the 'sh!t' word on his post. Now when I included his post as a quote on reply, it changes to 'crap'. I tried to put the same thing too, and once I preview it, it changes to crap. Is that only works for mods? Quote
beatsing Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Ex-s?! I missed out, cuz I was skipping Max. ugh Is this ex-s better than the MG, and the Fix Figuration? I already have both... sorry a little off topic. I'm a big fan of Ex-s, one of my all time favorites. Is it bigger than the MG? Shucks. Missed out on the metal Ex-s. Sold out Sorry a little off topic. Too bad bandai doesn't take preorders like some small model companies solicit preorders for months so customers have lots of times to make orders. Then they go production and make an extra batch. Then the product is widely available and not over producing since they know how many orders they have. No shelf warmers. Customers happy. Quote
Roy Focker Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 The worst part is where I fell asleep, right in front of my computer slumped over in my chair...

Only worst when it comes to service . I'm gettin too old for this crap Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Well, if you look at it that's not fair. But, atleast regular members says it 'clean'. Yeah, I'm getting too old for this crap. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Noooo!! I missed Max's Pre-Order!!! damn its sold out even on mykombini :S Quote
Roy Focker Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 People must really like Max to get him with that markup. Hikaru still there with a markup and is still unsold. Quote
ErikElvis Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 Totally missed this one. Oh well. If it pops up I'll grab it otherwise I really should put all my money towards my credit card. Quote
Cowboy17 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I caved and preordered from mykombini. oh well, it's only money. Quote
Mr Bomber Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 When i tried on my kombini they also where out of stock Quote
Universe1010 Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 When i tried on my kombini they also where out of stock I'm sure some will pop up between now and release date Date from other retailers Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 2, 2016 Posted July 2, 2016 I caved and preordered from mykombini. oh well, it's only money. That's the spirit, sir. Pay now. Worry later. Quote

hachi Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 Is it safe to say they won't release anything in December? Quote
jenius Posted July 4, 2016 Posted July 4, 2016 There are releases in September, October, and November so I wouldn't rule December out but it may be greedy to hope for something then. Quote
