Bandai DX VF-31

[neoexcaliber]

What happened with that release?

PO lasted more than an hour and there wasn't any per customer limit set. Needless to say, a few dozen if not hundreds of orders did not get fulfilled.

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.

Similar thing happened with the YF-29 Alto reissue recently so I'm skeptical.

Wow so this is madness with HLJ... So I keep trying, not even sure if its going to amount to anything at this point.

EDIT: So never mind.. lol its order stop.

Order stop at HLJ.

[Guyffon]

And some buy to sell at a higher price, these people are the problem, if they were real collectors, then fine, but to profit off others, what kind of human beings are they

[Shukenzero]

There are so many scalpers competing with real collectors. This hobby has become a war zone!

I hope bandai does does another release of the VF-25 line. I wasn't able to afford them in the past but I now can. Bandai doesn't benefit from scalpers so do they not want our money? Arg

[Lorindor]

Yikes, I never got to the order complete page on HLJ, but I just noticed that I still got an order confirmation email. Sweet.

But I will try to snag a slightly marked up one at EU-friendly NY, as it will still be cheaper.

[Guyffon]

Maybe some vigilante should go around teaching these scalpers a lesson, one can only hope

Bandai, doesn't care if collectors get them as long as they sell out

[ayaxr]

So guess no other way to get it other than the crappy resellers at jacked up prices after december....?

[neoexcaliber]

I'm still wondering what the other 92 people are doing on this page. It's over people. The battle has been lost. Move along. Nothing to see here.

You can camp in Mandarake come release. You might get it with only 2000-4000Y increase.

[orindlt]

ZOMG. Kept getting timeouts at HLJ with a valk in the cart. Kept rocking back and forward, back and forward. HLJ goes order stopped. Just kept rocking the browser back each time I got a timeout.

And success. With the email and everything.

Now I just have to go and tell my 13 year old son that I forfeited his soul for a cool plastic robot.

[Alberich]

Question, supposedly I got a message of order placed in HLJ how much time it need to appear in my account orders??

[yman1437]

Still got ae. But who knows when it will be up... what's the past experience?

[sh9000]

It turns out through all the lagging at HLJ that my order was confirmed there too.

Same here, even after the order stop since it was still in my cart I was able to complete my order almost an hour later, NICE

you have a point, but the YF-29 Alto was not from the initial pre order, it was from the reopening of the late preorder that lasted for a very very long time,

What?

[Falcon]

HLJ said that they accepted my order but I don't have an e-mail confirmation and it's not processed in my warehouse either. Should I be worried?

Damn, that took forever with HLJ (53 minutes)..... but I got one!

same mine just went through on hlj.

[Alberich]

Btw also CdJapan went in a snap... I got one in the cart meanwhile I was waiting for HLJ, but only in the cart D:

So in my HLJ account it has "order stopped" next to the valk in the list of open orders. All other open orders have a date next to them for when the release occurs. I got the confirmation email - does that mean I'm waitlisted, or is it just an oddity of HLJ's system?

There's still A-E. but their preoder is not up yet.

[ayaxr]

Well to me HLJ said it accepted my order but never got an email.. My hopes are pretty much dead. I doubt the order went thru.

Not sure, I am still waiting on my confirmation order, so I'd say your ahead of the line.

Never had this happen to me before.

Normally you get it in the first few seconds or you don't.

Will have to see what hlj staff says in the next couple of days.

If you don't get any kind of correspondence your good.

[Universe1010]

k my order went through lol musta beenn the last guy just got email

[Falcon]

Just hope they can fulfill all their preorders. Heard stories that sometimes they can't.

EDIT: Got my e-mail confirmation so really hope that they don't come up a few short

[no3Ljm]

Happy to see all you guys are still kicking.

[Golden Arms]

You should be good. I actually had 2 in my account from hlj so I cancelled one to keep within their preorder policy. I was also able to order the blue frame from hlj as well. it was stuck in my cart for nearly 40 minutes but after I cancelled one of the DX in my account I was able to complete my order of the blue frame. successful morning!!

[Alberich]

Yay email confirmation by HLJ , there is still hope.
