Fisitron Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Can NY edit preorders? Accidentally chose 80$ shipping on my order. Also accidentally chose an old adress Edited June 3, 2019 by Fisitron Quote

Not really upset exactly, just don't try and defend a system that flaky. You won't help the situation, because people are already on edge from the frustration. Agreed. A little empathy is nice Quote
HayateAltoHunter Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 So, how about them fast packs? The order is latter in the week? Will it be another round of this madness, or a more straightforward tamashii exclusive sale? Can someone please confirm? Quote
xrentonx Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 At this rate I don't know but I still doubt there is gonna be madness for the fast packs. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Oh HLJ, why you do you suck so much these days; -b. Quote

This happened to me last year when I bought a macross vf31 alto custom model kit. Same verbage. 3 months later I get charged. And delivered. Just looking at the error message pisses me off. Quote

Chronocidal Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Should be a lazy TWE order. I'm grabbing between two and five sets regardless of this mess. Even if I never get Hikaru's 1S, I'd rather have the DYRL style packs to use on my 1J. Suppose now we just wait and see if the scalper market winds up dying out when they can't sell their markups, and we get stock available at release. I'm curious to see how Chuck's VF-31E release goes, because that was kind of the first in this new wave of ultra-scalper pre-order massacres.

Roy Focker Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Pay Pal says I got one for $289 at NY. I think I'm going to be sick. That's like $100 over MSRP is it not? I paid $260 for Hikaru's VF-1J but the was months after the preorder. Shouldn't be paying these prices in the first hour of a preorder. I don't why I ordered it. I think it is just a feeling that I'm going to miss out of the VF-1S Roy type. The one I really want and this might be the only VF-1S I have even a chance of getting even at a higher price. Maybe Bandai will decide not to fill NY orders for their preorder price fixing. Quote
eXis10z Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Not seeing the point of complaining personally but be my guest if that helps with your current and future situation. Edited June 3, 2019 by eXis10z Quote

I’m not happy about the price but it’s better than the after market price Quote
MikeRoz Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 On a more positive note, the MW forum servers were rock-solid throughout this whole affair. Props to management. At least we had a stable way to coordinate our efforts. Quote

I do agree that we probably have to pay more.... but should be more careful in choosing a spot to fight in.... Quote
Lolicon Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Maybe Bandai will go the HMR route and offer Roy's 1S as TWE. Quote
Smiley424 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Struck out everywhere for a Hikky VF-1S. I just happened to check AmiAmi and they still have the GX-88 available. Quote
MikeRoz Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Amazon.co.jp was very briefly back up just now. Didn't even get far enough to see if they'd changed their shipping policy. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Likely all they did was change the URL/Product Page. During the initial window the 1S said "special page" based on the expected number of views. The page now is missing that header. -b. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I wonder if the Amiami split second availability is the result of them "moving" those items from the "special page" to a regular page on their site. Quote

Possibly, but oddly enough, that was when I got my Max 1A preorder. It was a tiny blip of a window late in the game, and it went through. Quote
