They know it's going to be a hot item and sell out fast, so what's the incentive for discounting it?

Wasn't the Hikaru a pretty much guaranteed hot seller?  And discounting it means I'm more likely to buy it from them and not some other retailer...

They can do what they want, ofc, just a bit disappointing.

It must've been promotional pricing that Bandai offered to Amiami for the 1J, which probably also attributes to why they allowed a preorder limit of 2 for 1J, when normally it is always 1.

The 1A Max is limited to 1 this time as usual. My feeling is a lower production run. and It's going to hard to secure a preorder this time.

Occam's razor, people.

Given the nature of Bandai preorders, people will buy it wherever they can get it, discount or not. You may not have a choice.

You guys should all be angry and refuse to buy this thing at anywhere near MSRP... it'll make my night a lot easier.

I second that motion! :)

Haha, so AmiAmi is pulling a NY move before the preorder even opens by charging more right off the bat huh? Oh well, I guess that’s how it’s going to be going forward.

After all the craziness the past few preorders, I'm just going straight to CDJ for this.  I always end up going to them after all the other sites crash when I'm on the order confirmation page.

Yeah but hth does anyone find the preorder listings at CDJ? I’ve never been able to get the search on that site to turn up anything until it’s too late.

I'm with Jenius.  No pre-order protests are on (for you guys...)

Some if not most of the whiners will still end up staying up and trying their luck to get a few POs in. 

I’d be happy if they got turned off by the price and don’t buy. Makes it easier for the rest of us.

Good night guys! Good luck on the PO tonight.

 

Is peer pressure not strong enough to "make" you get one?

I have a paper due... which I finished a few hours ago.

That doesn't sound very procrastinatory. I finished writing a large number of books and papers by ensuring that everything was only finished at the extreme last minute ;-)

You know you'll regret it, if you don't get it.

since you're posting links, my's well grab one at a non payment upfront site and then donate the pre-order if you end up not wanting it. 

better than regretting since you're staying up late.

I actually enjoy posting links.  If it helps MWF members secure valkyries for themselves, I am happy to do it.

Well, just tried talking to Nippon Yassan chat to see about the pre-order, and that went no where, lol.
