orindlt Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Remember when Shizuka the Cat would post links and we'd all get pre-orders and the world was awesome? Good times. Quote

I think...we're good? Payment went through. Order Missed out on the SOC Dairugger, but hopefully there will be other opportunities on that one... Quote
MikeRoz Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 How long until N-Y starts taking orders at higher prices? Quote
Ikaros3 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Well I’m throwing in the white flagI’ll just have to buy a new mod for my car to cheer me up Quote
Guyffon Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 and NY still not letting people in even when the madness have ended, I did not get one too, so I will be looking during release date to score one, but seeing that its when my daughter is going to be born, I doubt I will get one Quote
xrentonx Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I'm happy with my Yammies and Arcadias. I really don't need to collect 1.48 so the scalpers can go screw themselves. Also, Bandai's loss Edited June 3, 2019 by xrentonx Quote
Anasazi37 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I got cartjacked on every other major site in the time it took for HLJ's spinning wheel of death to tell me that the item in my cart was no longer available.... Quote
Sandman Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 1 minute ago, xrentonx said: Agreed. Their new websites are bloated crap. At least the old sites. You either got it or you didn't. There wasn't a lot of uncertainty at various points of the checkout process. You end up waiting for an hour not knowing if you got it or not. Quote
Lolicon Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I guess it would be quicker to ask who actually managed to snag one? Show of hands. Quote

I have 2 items awaiting for their release. I hear they bundle orders. I dont want to wait forever to get them. Quote

But it would NOT ship to the US. Sucked. Edit: Pretty much what NeoMatter said immediately above. Edited June 3, 2019 by Mog Quote
Sandman Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Still 54 at ny, so i refreshed because wtf. -399 now. Great website NY. Quote
erizai Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I do really hope that the shops like HLJ, NY, AmiAmi come out a way to determine which customer is genuine. and give priority to long time customer. Since is a pre-order Bandai actually can make base on demand. why make life so difficult? They can penalize those cancel order and black list those... Quote
mzhao3 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 So did nin-nin games and bandaionline.com/kuramashop already sell out? i didnt even see any price changes there. maybe there's still hope there Quote
gerwookie Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I think only amazon japan opened up for more orders randomly after the first round with the vf-1a, right? Quote
orindlt Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 NY countdown finally finished to a "your order is complete". I'm speaking at a Cloud Computing conference in Tokyo in December. I think I'm going to make snarky remarks about NY, HLJ and AmiAmi and the general inability to run a website that scales to demand. Quote

Penalize and blacklist those who cancel (pre)orders? We really starting to get this cutthroat now? Quote

todd77 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Got mine in in the order history. Guess I'm done. Congrats to those who got one as well. Sorry to those who didn't. Quote

treatment Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 ya know? not really trying to be THAT GUY, but you guys who got it from HLJ better be prepared to get their cancellation-email shenanigans. hope they don't and that they got it all figured out, but it's been an ongoing HLJ-feature since their redesign. Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 I don't remember Amazon opening up again. Usually its one and done. Some sites like amiami randomly lets out small portions. But it does not look like the case tonight so far NY will release waves at higher prices each time Quote
tjdetweiler Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Got one from HLJ - hopefully they wont cancel my order..... Quote

drumondo Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 First attempt to preorder a valk. So gutted right now. Feel for all others who missed out. Congrats to those who got one. Quote
gerwookie Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Tried doing it on mobile phone and safari and chrome, in bed. Guess I deserved not getting it because I disrespeklol Quote

D_Unit Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 Haven't posted in the forums for years... I got "no longer available" messages from AmiAmi & NY right at the end of the checkout process. Best thing that's happened to me. Was going mentally insane trying to figure out how I was going to move hundreds of figures nested inside 3 ginormous displays/dioramas + 7 Detolfs for reflooring/renovations. Had a glimmer of hope like I was getting back in the game... I was going to splurge on some much appreciated figures that I missed out on too. But now I'm liberated!!! Gonna chuck everything onto the other floor... get the dam reno done and go climb a mountain or something. Hee hee... good night! Quote

I'm not too familiar with this. Does HLJ tend to let you know relatively soon, or is it like on the day of release? Quote
xrentonx Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Damn, HLJ. Im just trying to buy Figuarts Bulma and you error out on that? Great web design there. Edited June 3, 2019 by xrentonx Quote
Valkyrie23 Posted June 3, 2019 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Looks like NY will be back up soon at 25,800 JPY Search page shows it. Individual page not up yet Edited June 3, 2019 by Valkyrie23 Quote
