Sandman Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Amiami was scary. It keep giving me a login failure even though i pre-logged in. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 AmiAmi usually reopens the preorders...and VERY surprised HLJ closed so quickly. Quote

Falcon Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 For a preorder that people have said they didn't want, it certainly went quick. Quote
UN Spacy Posted June 1, 2018 Author Posted June 1, 2018 Why you do me DIRTY Ami?! I've been loyal. Quote
Alex GS Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I thought this wouldn't be another PO madness but this Messer PO ended instantly! Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Got a confirmation email with HLJ, so looks like it went through, but I'm not counting on it after that quick a sale. If I do wind up getting it, I might sell my original Messer here, and make a set of shapeways brackets to use, possibly modified to keep the underwing hardpoints intact, since it looks like the Bandai design just keeps them occupied.

Sandman Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 It must be limited quantity compared to the prior release. Probably thought only the real diehards would go for this. Quote
iguanaman8989 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Got one at HLJ, along with a Metal Robot Damashii Guren SEITEN, to go with my new Lancelot Albion figure. I skipped Messer the first time around, wasn’t a fan of his color scheme, but with Arad’s preorder, I figure I may was well complete the set. Quote

Shizuka the Cat Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I am amazed that CDJapan's inventory went from 25 to 0 in under 2 minutes. Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Yeah, I actually had HLJ on two screens, refreshing alternative search terms. By the time I completed the order in one, the other screen showed order stop. Quote
Alex GS Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 it looks like I will be getting another Messer, already have the original but still the box will be a new design with that Movie version tag Quote
Shizuka the Cat Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Hmmm... AmiAmi went from pre-order closed, to pre-order when I refreshed my browner a few moments ago, back to closed again. I think it was available again for maybe 20 seconds at best. Quote
rdrunner Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) Wow this looks like an even crazier preorder than the YF-19 full set last time? Edited June 1, 2018 by rdrunner Quote
Chronocidal Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Kind of, but that one was open longer, and people wound up getting cancelled after orders went through, so maybe some sites are being more cautious about how many they offer to begin with. Quote

Glad I had no horse in this race. I just stayed up to post the availability list.... but when these pre-order windows only last 2 minutes, maintaining such a list seems kind of pointless. Quote
mamboeidos Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Yup was surprise the amt off ppl wanting to buy it n the speed it sold out... Thought everyone is giving it a miss like me? Quote
orindlt Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 "Are you going to give it a miss" "Yeah, Macross Malibu Stacy" (Furious pressing of F5 in background because ADDICTS) Quote
F360 Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 I'm pretty sure this had a smaller run to begin with, so even with people not buying 3 or 2, it still sold out very quickly. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Well, if I don't cancel mine I'll take some measurements off the clips and put them up on shapeways for people. Quote

Sandman Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Just now, wmkjr said: HAHA NY down! Sheesh. Which is funny because none of the bandai stuff they put so far has been selling out. Quote
borgified Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Wowza!! I didn't expect this order to end so quick.. Blink and miss your opportunity! Quote
jenius Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) I bought 2 if the original Messer due to pre-order madness, I'll probably list one for sale soon for folks who just got burned. Edited June 1, 2018 by jenius Quote
