spanner, come on dude, we just talked about it, YOU NEED AT LEAST 4. get all you can!

hehe! yeah I know but one is enough of each variant for Delta.. After they all come out I'll have plenty anyways! If more are available after release then maybe I'll get another of some..

The Great Wind was with me. I got my 262s.

how many you get?

Just curious, who has the power of the wind and got one at HS? I saw the PO live hit add to cart and got a sold out message. Thats the farthest ive ever gotten with a PO at HS.

It's been broken for several minutes though, I've had it in my cart since the link first popped here.

Yeah, their site isn't updating. The one they say they have is long gone.

Please don't tell me HLJ's keeping the link open only to break customers hearts like w/ the VF-31J.

Odd that HLJ was open for at least 15-20mins. Oh well, good night all. Hope eveyone got one who wanted one.

Safer then the 1.5 hours it was open for the 31J.

Have a bit more confidence that my order won't be canceled this time around.

What I don't understand is that amiami has not enough leverage to demand a bigger run by Bandai. I thought they where the biggest online Anime merchandise seller in Japan so they must have some sort of influence on Bandai (but maybe even the biggest seller is to small if Bandai ships 95% of their Valkyries to brick and mortar stores). Bandais preorders crashing amiamis store can't be their own interest.

Managed to get one from HLJ and luckily got another one from Amiami. I only wanted one but I'm really scared of HLJ cancelling it due to the over-order bug like in the VF-31J madness. Thanks to IXTL for the link!

If anyone can't wait for March I suggest to give the 1/72 model a try. It's freaking awesome (unstickered/undecaled) and it's so much better than the frontier kits.

it was open for a longer period of time because their search was mess up and you could not find it.

Got my order in at HLJ back in the first minute, and still don't have my email confirmation. The site says email confirmation was sent. Hoping my email service is just awful.

Instant sell outs at AmiAmi and HS.

Thanks for sharing this link. I was refreshing both my search results and the front page but nothing was showing.

Managed to get one and got the email confirmation as well.

Still not very fond of the Battroid mode, but Gerwalk mode is nice enough. Mainly got ordered it because fighter mode looks fantastic and the transformation looks neat.

262s? There can be only one Keith! :angry:

His first Draken was heavily damaged during the battle with Hayate and he got a replacement Draken. ;)

Okay I got this off a retailer who deals with Japan directly. He says that the website not only doesn't care about the amount of stock available for preorder, but uses it as it drives web traffic and interest through the roof. He says it's a technique most places use to drum up business.

Mind, having said that, I personally see no reason it will increase sales of other products. He just says it's the method for getting everyone to go to their site, which, as we've seen here, seems to work.

well, look on the bright side, guys.

at least the HMR Dougram is still open...

:p

:yahoo:

:bump:

Yes! I PO'd one, after I secured the 262, gotta keep priorities. :D

Well it might work. On a whim I decided to preorder the Fix Figruration RX78-02 reissue at HLJ.... I'm weak but I figured if I ever own a RX78 than why not this one. ^_^

Time to update my Excel spreadsheet.

Goddamn HLJ's crappy system. I only checked out once, but I received 3 confirmation emails, all with identical timestamps. When I tried to log in to make sure that I didn't have duplicate orders and cancel any if I did, I get an account suspension message.

No I did not hammer the checkout button repeatedly. I've done enough preorder madness nights to know to hit the button only once and wait.

Emailed HLJ customer service ugh

Apparently if you get that gateway timeout error, the order does go through somehow. I got that twice before getting a confirmed checkout, but it still counted all three. I bum rushed myself to my account page to cancel the extras.
