AE = Anime Export?

Yep. And amiami never carried them so it would be unlikely for them to have "extra" stock.

Yes.

[barurutor]

release date moved to today! just paid my premium finish PO at N-Y.

[spacemanoeuvres]

Just completed payment on mine as well 

[mog_kupo]

Its kinda weird, the release date moved to today, yet NY gives me until June 2 to make the payment, does that mean they will be gettin their stock a little late?

[Kanedas Bike]

So...uh...does anyone have an extra copy of the Premium Finish Hikaru from HLJ that they want to part ways with?

hahaha I may part with mine.  I mostly completed the PO at NY because of their strongly worded email threatening to cancel all future POs and close my account if I didn't pay for the VF-1S lol

Will post something in the for sale thread at a non-scalper price (scalpers can go straight to h3ll) if I decide to part with it.

Cool - let me know!

And yeah, N-Y is known to be strict with their pre-order cancellation policy.

Huh?

Are you guys talking about the actual "Release-Date" of the Hikky1S-Premium, or simply just  your "Nippon-Yasan Payment-Request Date"?

NY sent an email indicating the actual Release Date for the product change from 05/31 to 05/26 and to pay for your PO by 06/01 or else 

It's a little silly because it takes them forever to process payment and ship anyway.  My VF-31J super parts haven't even shipped yet and I paid for them in January like everyone else haha

I ordered mine thru HLJ and they haven't charged me.

HLJ usually charges (auto-paypal) quickly on item Release-Date.

Nice. I wish I po'd through hlj. I really like the personal warehouse feature and the VF was like $30 cheaper there as well.

At any rate, somebody over at TD seems to have gotten it and just posted pics:

Well it's been Discontinued at HLJ since at least 8:30 Eastern.

And it was at Order Stop since 3:30/4 AM when I went to sleep.

Hoping and praying it comes back up, otherwise I'm relying on a good samaritan to sell me one. lol

[sf648]

Sadly I'm in the same  boat.  I had been waiting patiently for the HLJ listing to leave "order stop", but I must have missed it by going to sleep sleep at  5:30a this morning...

Pretty sure it never opened back up.

I have slim hope and I'm trying to be patient, they'll pop up sooner vs. later, I just don't want to OVERpay.

Got payment request from hlj

[treatment]

I just got it and paid it, too.

Not happy with PP's exchange-rate shenanigans right now.

Yeah, I haven't gone back to anything automatic with them and probably never will after the last headache I had with them. Make all payments manually and I haven't had any issue since.

Oh man I lost so much money to PayPal shenanigans before I realized you could click conversion button and use the credit card conversion rate instead lol 

Started saving serious monies when I switched to a rewards card with no foreign transaction fee.

Yep, same here. Only thing is I knew there was a way to not use paypal conversion and it took me years to get it to work. Lost several valks worth of fees...

That option is particularly missing from my pp payment-pages.

 

[Lolicon]

Paid for mine.

Because of Paypal's shenanigans, I don't use anything automatic with them, and now I always check the conversion rate before paying because of Paypal's propensity to "accidentally" change it to their terrible conversion rate just so they can skim money off the top.

Its hidden in the open.  If you see a exchange rate example $1=$110 , just click on it. 

[eggy99]

A word of warning that I checked my currency conversion options on my Paypal again this week, and it had reverted back to Paypal conversion rate, so I promptly closed the merchant agreement with HLJ and will do all my payments manually now. I doubt Paypal will ever fix this as it is as everyone suspects. It's a NEW feature that Paypal has instituted to skim money off the top of all their users and claim ignorance of the issue.

[anubis20]

Yea paypal is dirty. I have two paypal accounts, one where I keep most of my balance and one where i keep all my credit cards. I paypaled myself ¥10000 and $92.40 left one account but on my other account the balance said ¥10,000 ($86.27) so they dont even honor their own damn exchange rate on the same day. 

[neko878]

Paid via Paypal earlier today and just got the shipping email from HLJ.  Looking forward to this one.

[F360]

Here's the shipping rate from HLJ for the Premium Finish ver

looks like the box is just a bit smaller than the normal one. 

Express Int'l ShippingUsually ships by EMS (Trackable)
(averages 2-7 business days)¥3,380

Standard Int'l ShippingUsually ships by SAL Parcel
(averages 10-30 business days)¥3,950

It is not hidden.

It just is not there at all.

The pp-rep I talked to cannot tell me a definitive answer other than it somehow shows up if you linked a debit-card (or a mastercard cc) instead of a non-mastercard cc.

The old trick of using their old legacy site also does not work in showing it anymore.

Their mobile-site seems to be the only one that still shows the option.

^Lookin' good. Just waiting on NY to ship my copy.

 

[jenius]

Oh so they're not just slapping a sticker on the box... neat. 

[spacemanoeuvres]

Looks cool, hmmmmm. I may actually keep mine lol

Can't blame you!

But if you opt to sell you'll have at least one potential buyer right here.
