Except you can't search for stuff without being told to wait back outside. Quote

chyll2 Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 shittiest PO night ever. Scalpers knew how VF-1J appreciated. Quote

It's 10x easier to get a no-cost PO and then get hte inflated funds to pay for it than it is to put up all the cash up front and then hope somebody buys ur inflated product. One is no-risk ez cash, the other is actual skin in the game. Agree - it's ridiculous how scalpers take advantage of the no deposit preorder at zero cost and risk, and the only investment is time (and bots to compete with live human bids, i.e. moi). Quote

Yeah N-Y is treating search as part of the shopping activity (ie a tool/function) inside the store...know exactly what you want, search for it, and then get out! sounds just like the soup nazi episode in seinfeld....

mechaninac Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Woke up at 4 am for this and went though pages of shock and disappointment from the majority of folks here. This is a bit depressing, but I though "what the heck, give it a shot".................. ...................... ................................................. My ticket ( what a crock or excrement) was up on N-Y and................... no VF-1A Max in their Macross page. AE still hasn't listed it either. Quote

Face_Forward Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 So, did ANYONE actually catch a preorder? It kinda sounds like everyone got boned. This is my first rodeo, but it seems as though this is the worst anyone's ever seen Quote
jenius Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 A few were snagged at the usual suspects.... but just a few at each. Quote

I think a few people here got orders in at AmiAmi and HLJ. Not sure about CDJ. Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Glad I wasn't really that interested in this one.. looking like I'll wait for release day and see what comes of it. Quote
