Plasticgoose Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) First time in a long time I got up for pre-order only for HLJ to crap on me. Not cool. and just missed the NY post. I love how NY also seems to change the names or search criteria so it never shows up as what you think it is. Well not going to stay up and play the F5 game as I need to get to bed.

orindlt Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 NY will open up soon, but with a slight mark-up I bet. Happy to pay up to +50% at this point. Seething. Quote
Sandman Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 NY will open up soon, but with a slight mark-up I bet. They haven't done that since the VF-19 Advance i believe. Quote
Lorindor Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 HLJ is not working for me and I got cart-jacked at NY... Quote
Lolicon Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 You cancel all you want at HLJ for preorders without penalty. It's all automated. Quote
SuperHobo Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 127 Users reading this topic right now? Who are all of you people? Quote
abbadon Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Has this happened often with HLJ? I don't order a lot from them. I remember something similar being mentioned before Yeah, during the VF-25S reissue. Best to order early. As in the first 5 seconds. Quote

spanner Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 looks like it was up at CDJ but already sold out.. Quote
neoexcaliber Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Looks like we a have a DX VF-25S reissue scenario with HLJ on our hands. Quote
Sandman Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Scalpers? LoL If thats the case we should make this topic members only on day of release. Quote
juice14 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 So far CDJ, Ami, NY, Hobbysearch all sold out... HLJ maybe possible still Quote
spanner Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 (edited) Got my 2 at Nippon-Yasan. you managed to get 2 at NY! nice work mate! well done! Edited August 1, 2016 by spanner Quote
Jasonc Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 I got one. Finally, after years and years of having to pay the weeks after and super high prices, I'm finally in the clear. Damn computer started slowing down right before, too, so I reloaded about 15 seconds before midnight, and lucky to say that that worked. I got mine from amiami. Quote
OptionZero Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 sold out NY, CDJ, AmiAmi, HS frakk guess i'll stay up for AmiAmi 1oclock restock? Quote
in2seconds Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Gosh, the madness is real. I only read from the archives so it's my first time experiencing this. Still managed to score one from Amiami since HLJ is having seizures for me. Quote
frankell05 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 i got them in the cart at least twice in hobby search and NY, both times got screwed. this sucks Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 sold out NY, CDJ, AmiAmi, HS frakk guess i'll stay up for AmiAmi 1oclock restock? Try http://hlj.com/product/BANN06298 Quote
Revonaut Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Looks like we a have a DX VF-25S reissue scenario with HLJ on our hands. What happened with that release? Quote
spanner Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 did anyone see anything come up yet at Anime Export?? can't find in on their website.. Quote
venth85 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Got from Amiami and NY, still cant login in HLJ Quote
Falcon Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Yeah HLJ is not doing great for me. I doubt I'll be able to get one Quote
Lolicon Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Took about 10 minutes for me to check out at HLJ. That was right when they opened preorders. I'm sure everyone and their mom is hammering the site now that everywhere else is sold out. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 What happened with that release?Pre orders opened for a few hours and it resulted in not enough stock to suffice the orders. I'm just crossing my fingers that Bandai finally realized that these things sell like hot cakes and upped the stock Quote
F360 Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Looks like we a have a DX VF-25S reissue scenario with HLJ on our hands. no worries, it's nothing like that. People can not place their order because it gets stuck at signing in, then get stuck at payment, then at confirmation. so they do have to stock , just not the sale yet. Quote
Shukenzero Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 The HLJ site took forever to finally load. Still believe anyone who managed to get their POs in within the first 10-15 minutes will be the receivers of their Valks, but dodgy for anyone else. Not trying to crap on people's parades here but it doesn't seem normal that they would have an endless supply of stock. Quote
Guyffon Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 will those with 1-3 copies form other sources stop trying at hlj so that us with none can get 1 Quote
Revonaut Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 Pre orders opened for a few hours and it resulted in not enough stock to suffice the orders. I'm just crossing my fingers that Bandai finally realized that these things sell like hot cakes and upped the stock Oh I see. Took me about 4 minutes to get through the order process. I should be pretty secure with my purchase. I do hope that bandai produces more valks in general. I'd hate to pay scalper prices. Quote
orindlt Posted August 1, 2016 Posted August 1, 2016 will those with 1-3 copies form other sources stop trying at hlj so that us with none can get 1 Some people would stab your Nanna if it would get them another valk ;-p Quote
