Maybe we'll get another chance before release. I still can't believe this is the "system." That Amiami lack of a discount isn't looking so bad now, eh? Quote

VF-Zer0S Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Used my CDJapan points for SH Figuarts base broly. Saw Max and had to pass. Good luck to everyone else. Hopefully Amazon and Anime-export open to everyone Quote
505thAirborne Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Got my confirmation & order number from HLJ! Quote

We should all get a discount for having to deal with this BS. It's early, I'm tired, but I with some of the others right now. This is the kind of stuff that makes me want to switch hobbies. I don't see the reason for defending retailers/sellers for this kind of stuff. Quote

RED WOLF Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 what are the odds of hlj, ami ami, etc., reoening their preorders in the n ext few hours? Quote
magicsp00n Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Struck out here. Maybe it's a sign I don't need to get into the DX line. Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Okay this is insane... the order number after i submitted on hlj was 000149388 and now after it appears under my account its 15095377 ??? How the hell did it jump so many numbers? If I get a cancellation email from HLJ I'm going to tell that guys Mark his site's servers are on some crap! XD EDIT* Oh and it took 20+ minutes to show up under my account after my email confirmation. Edited April 8, 2019 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote
Gabe Q Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Didn't get thru... Really bummed out. Stayed up late for nothing... Quote
Roy Focker Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Last preorder I made was for the Hi-metal VF-1D. I got my order in on the side of the road from inside my car in the dark with an outdated phone. Here I'm at home with a better computer, better internet and nothing. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Anything can happen in the middle of the night (well for those of us in the US). I've seen POs re open like at 2-3am PST at times Quote
Shizuka the Cat Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 So... is this the worst PO success rate so far? Quote
Alphahorizon Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Welp, gave it a good effort...and now the ridiculous inflated scalper prices ensues....That's to bad. Grats to everyone that scored! Carry one for the team. Quote
moose Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Next one will be next year probably worry about it then, c ok me on Arcadia bring on the sv Ivanov Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Well, almost managed to get an insurance copy from CDJ, then got cartjacked from the "payment select" screen. Quote

CDJ needs to fix their servers. All of Japan needs to fix their servers. It's a surprisingly ass-backwards country in many ways. I love Japan, but goddamn they're way behind in a lot of things. Quote

technoblue Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Man, I fought long and hard for my CDJ order. I clicked the link as soon as I got their email update, and then the madness began when I went to apply points. It was hovering between 2 and 4 pre-order slots left for a while, but now it's officially sold out on the site. Bummer. Quote

beatsing Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 I was expecting a Roy VF-1S. If it's that crazy to get a Max, Fokker is gonna be madness Quote

Business is business, and thus far it seems we all got screwed... at least we can all be miserable together!! Quote

Apparently, HLJ's new ordering system allows orders to go through that shouldn't and they have been cancelling orders recently. It hasn't happened to me yet personally, but given how tonight went I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst Quote

Valkyrie23 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 The funny thing is that aside from Hikaru, the VF-1A Max was not ever really that popular. Even with the Yamato V2 1/60 versions they went on clearance for awhile. I know Bandai is more limited, but hopefully there won't be as strong secondary demand for this *crosses fingers* Quote

Lolicon Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 I'm not going to be confident in my HLJ order until at least a week or two from now, when I don't receive a cancellation email during that time. Quote
