Thanks!  But I feel like I was not much help, given that stores sold out so fast, *sigh*

You were the real hero, with that AmazonJP link.

Thank you Shizuka. The live link updates are just as helpful as @Valkyrie23‘s AJ link. And you do this for us at every PO even when you’re not getting one for yourself.

You were definitely a big help.  Your posts kept a concise summary of what has already gone up and sold out. That's how I knew to focus on the remaining sites that haven't listed yet (officially)

For future reference, NY opened  1 hour 10 minutes after the "official" start time and Amazon 1 hour 35 minutes after

 

Did I just say "future"...do I want to go through this again?!?!

 

Shizuka-chan, you've been on the lookout for all of us. Domo arigato! Get some sleep....

It's actually 2 hrs and so from opening

Most likely sold out by the time you added. Just keep trying at that point in time.

Look at all this teamwork. You guys are great. Thank you very much

damn.. i succeed to pre-order this item for 22000 Y shipped from my local scalper. 

[seti88]

That's a ok scalper price including shipping! considering what a crapshoot this pre-order has been.. at least its not 30k!

That’s a great price shipped isn’t it? I’m still in disbelief (a happy one) that I managed to secure mine on amazon Japan for Y18000 + Y1200 shipping. Most other PO sites charge way more than that in shipping.

Missed it?

That's pretty good lol

[Shizuka the Cat]

I am going to get some sleep;. It is after 6 AM here in Boston.

For those still looking for the TV Max pre-order, you may want to try checking the following stores periodically:  Loopaza, Anime-Export, MyKombini, Nin-Nin, and even BandaiOnline.  I have not seen the toy go on sale at these places yet, so maybe it will appear eventually?

Keep checking for the chance of more POs opening up. All is not lost. This has been a crazy PO night though by recent standards, or so I was told.

yeah, i paid it half now and paid the rest in about 3 month after release date (they ship in bulk by cargo), But hey atleast i got it. 

[tjdetweiler]

Thank you as well shizuka and f360!

Quick question guys, is AJ known at cancelling orders like HLj? Or we all good after receving the order email confirmation?

Bandaionline is live, but with a significant markup.

I've been up since 2:30 trying to secure this. Bandaionline is what it has to be I guess. I'm not going to work empty handed.

[eggy99]

Any Aussies lucky enough to secure a copy?

not yet. bandaionline want more than AU$100 more, I'll take my chances waiting on cheaper.

[Convectuoso]

Damn!!! Missed it!

It's been a complete sh!t-show. You haven't missed anything. Sorry, looks like you were trying to get it from Bandaionline... yep it's gone there now too. Edit again... now it's showing as in-stock.

Secured one but was hoping for two ... but seeing how everyone else went I guess I was lucky. So goes the hopes of many forming a Vermillion squad.

Thank you to @Shizuka the Catand @Valkerie23. We appreciate your assistance and help. I'll keep looking but cant justify the Bandaionline $100 mark up. Thanks all. And a huge CONGRATS to those who scored!

Same for me.  Thanks for all the updates.  Hoping for Anime Export to come through without a ridiculous markup.

[vlenhoff]

I guess a total waste of time then. FFS.

[Alphahorizon]

And just like that...All is quiet on the home front. Sleep well travelers.

I gave up a night's sleep and still managed to miss the late additions at NY and Bandaionline. Collecting Bandai DX is fun.

Also I can't figure out how to keep this from auto filling my last message I typed. (My last post quoted somebody)

I have had the same problems with posting sometimes. It seems when I initially want to quote someone but change my mind I cant.

[Mommar]

I guess if you were able to stay awake all night you managed to get one?  My official line is still frakk Bandai, personally.  I’m tired of standing in line in the middle of the night.

[mechaninac]

Man, this is frustrating; just a few minutes AFTER I decided I'd had enough, Amazon.jp open their preorder and I totally miss it.  What a total bust... nothing from AE yet, though...

Can't really blame them. I have the advantage being 1 hr away from Japan timeline but the frustration on getting cart jacked at exactly 16:00 japan time on at least three sites is very tirinh
