rasky Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Sold out at NY too! (Fortunately, I got mine at CDJ already. Was just shopping for a better price.) Quote
aaajin Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I managed to snag one at HLJ, but I was also the first to post the link How much did they charge at hlj? Quote
F360 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Sold out at NY too! (Fortunately, I got mine at CDJ already. Was just shopping for a better price.) The price at CDJ with shipping is only off by around 400 yen.. and if you count the reward points, and if you order 2.. it's actually cheaper than N-Y. Quote
Raya1823 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I think my order went through, fingers crossed awaiting confirmation email... YES!!! Confirmation email received, good to go! Quote
Lolicon Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I believe this is the first time I've managed a Bandai pre-order from Amiami since the initial release of the renewal VF-25F. Hope this line does well so Bandai will release stuff from other series. I'd love a YF-19 or Armored VF-25S in 1/100 scale. Quote
microtree33 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 If you miss the preorder, are there usually units available at launch? Every release selling out in 3 minutes would seem to suggest that producing more is a good idea unless the preorder is only a small part of the launch. Quote

Every release selling out in 3 minutes would seem to suggest that producing more is a good idea unless the preorder is only a small part of the launch. Only HLJ and Hobby search ran out fast. The rest stayed open quite a while, especially CDJ. It will be available on release. Quote
lavinrac Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 This process is sort of asinine. I didn't stay up all night, so nothing for me.. Makes one rethink their priorities. Do you need a toy worse than sleep? I don't. What confuses me.. the toys have not been made yet.. what benefit could this artificial scarcity be to Bandai? Quote
Duymon Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 This process is sort of asinine. I didn't stay up all night, so nothing for me.. Makes one rethink their priorities. Do you need a toy worse than sleep? I don't. I didn't lose any sleep. I just went to sleep earlier than usual and woke up at 2:45AM, logged on, preordered the two i wanted and went back to sleep by 3:15AM, then continued to sleep until 6:30 Quote
Double Spy Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I love these 1 minute window preordering on HLJ. Quote
takatoys Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 Why does Amiami always have the cheapest price for Bandai toys? Y7,600 for the Hi-metal is a steal. Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Why does Amiami always have the cheapest price for Bandai toys? Y7,600 for the Hi-metal is a steal. I guess, it's how they compete with other online stores. Lure customers for low prices. But after that, like everyone says here, they have bad reputation on Customer Service. And congrats to everyone who got their PO's. Edited July 1, 2015 by no3ljm Quote
wilsonx1999 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I fell asleep and missed AmiAmi, HLJ :c, I had to take a preorder on Amazon.JP for a higher price. Well, at least I got it. Quote

But after that, like everyone says here, they have bad reputation on Customer Service. And congrats to everyone who got their PO's. Low price and minimal service for sure! It's true with a lot of places. They aren't gonna spend too much additional resources to solve problems post sales when they operate on thinner margins than everyone else unless they're a new business trying to get their name out there...or ship in volume like Amazon with their thousands of affiliates.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 guys is pre orders up? jk, i'm going to pass on hikaru Quote
aaajin Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) *cricket sound* (everyone passed out from the early morning preorders) Edited July 1, 2015 by aaajin Quote
dapro Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I think I'll stick with the 1\60 scale at least for now. Quote
