I have it parked beside my '60 YF 19 and 21; even if the DX Roy is perfect it's not going to take the place of the V2 just because of the issue of scale... LOL, if it ends up being a POS, I'll just get a used 1/60 V2 used here or elsewhere and not bother since I'd like to have at least one PT version of Roy's 1S. Quote

Yeah I’m leaning that way if it happens. Would be more comfortable doing that and if N2 wanted to ban me from the site or something then frankly all the better Quote

Alan Molina Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Just now, myk said: How is that even possible... thats what i want to know, followed all the steps and on check out when i paid with paypal it gave me a french confirmation and said hikaru used and price went up included a paypal exchange fee Quote

I guess they thought "Oh crap, we don't have anymore Roy's, lets substitute a used Hikaru instead!" Even then, that's still hard to believe anyone would think that would fly. Pun intended. Not to mention that the preorder was still up last I checked. Edited July 3, 2020 by Kyp Durron Quote

Unlike previous times, they didn't do an early release for this PO. I only didn't have time to apply my vouchers and choose the best PAYPAL method but hey, whatever it takes to secure an order in the heat of the moment right? Quote
Alan Molina Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 i have raised a ticket with them and even used facebook to report this. but nothing from them. not sure where they are based tbh what a great day Quote

Also, why would the price go up? None of this makes any sense... Quote
Kyp Durron Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) I kinda raised my eyebrows at the Paypal exchange fees too, but said frakk it, as long as I get what I ordered, I wasn't in the mood to argue with the ongoing pre-order bloodbath happening all around me.

DWN013 Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Daggone, worst pre-order ever, this is the first time I've failed one. Me and the wife had six sites open on two devices, Ami Ami froze, got cartjacked at Amazon.jp, and the other four failed. I literally watched Rakuten instantly go from no order button to sold out between my ~2 second interval refresh clicks. Should have tried Yodobashi, forgot about that one. However, got a small lead on reserving an in-store copy via phone on 1 November... If anyone's interested in my previous (relevant) GIF contribution to this thread, go to my profile and look at my post from June 4, 2019, you won't be disappointed. Was this the first DX since Hikaru's J that had heavy advertising by Bandai? Cant remember if Max A or Hikaru S had that. Quote

It's too late to regret now, just see about getting another preorder that will let you pay later in the mean time to hedge your bets, that's what I'm trying to do. Worst comes to worst, we buy once at inflated prices and cry once and chalk it all up to experience. Quote

Its just the matter of how we win and get what we want... Quote
spacemanoeuvres Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Got an email to complete my order at Kurama but it’s sold out lol Quote
derex3592 Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Well I'm awake and about to head to the gun range. Wow, what a sh*tshow last night. Tried on my phone on home Wifi as it is faster, but still got absolutely nowhere with AmiAmi, CD Japan, HS, or HLJ. I never even saw a pre-order button. I was trying for about 25 minutes at which time HLJ was saying Error 404 and AmiAmi just flat wouldn't load. The others just always showed Sold Out form 2:00AM on. Oh well, I saved $200+. Wasn't dying to have it anyway. I kinda knew that getting the 1J might very well end up being the ONLY DX I would ever get at retail, which is fine. Whatever. On another note, I would like, someday, to fly to Japan and punch Bandai's Director Of Marketing dead in the nose just one time, for all of us. Peace out. Quote

Roi_Fokka Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Yeah, I'd be interested in seeing a NIN NIN thread on release day. Really worrying how they kept reopening pre-orders with escalating prices and hearing about other shady practices. Hopefully all us NIN NIN folk will experience smooth transactions but I'm expecting a big R.I.Pineapples... Quote
