bleecher Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I recall that there used to be a site to track figure restocks. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? Quote

That painted cockpit is really I was going to post the link here after securing my copy, but it was the only cooy available (someone must have cancelled his preorder). Then I saw that F360 had posted the link 8 minutes before. I was lucky this time. Bandai should reconsider the available stock for preorder for these popular releases. Quote

I had a defective preorder that was delayed beyond the 6 months Paypal, and Paypal wouldn't refund. The credit card company said that you should complain within two months. You just have to let the CC company know when the item was actually received. You should be able to show proof if needed with a shipping notice. Quote

Looks like you made it just in time , they open for just over 10 minutes , I was able to get one too , so Im thinking they had at least 10 or so this time . Quote

Really happy that a member here got it. I hope the eBay seller I paid will deliver. Quote

I would say they were able to get more since not many cancels from amiami this far ahead of release and amiami is not known for happy about people cancelling too many of their preorders . If they were able to get more maybe we will see reopening on hlj too , but that retarded website .............. sigh..... Quote

They've been known to ban your account for 6-12 Months if you cancel a Pre-Order. But on a positive side, they do have great customer service if there is a problem with a paid order. Quote

I think there was just too many people abusing at the time. I can't say much for their customer service but their packaging and boxes are excellent. Quote
DYRL VF-1S Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Man I wish I had been awake at that time. I’ve been watching AmiAmi closely Quote

Duymon Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 I'm happy to see random PO's pop up here or there. Sukkit NY! BTW if anyone's desperate for missiles for some reason Image Anime in Manhattan is trying to sell them for 100 a box which is pretty much what you'd pay for them online now with shipping from Japan. I passed since I paid about that much for 2 missile sets during PO :0 Quote
dafob Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 This is off topic, but a few weeks ago there was discussion in this thread about eBay bucks and how to leverage it. Well, there's currently an 8-13% promotion for eBay bucks right now. I've already accumulated $320, which is a good chunk to apply towards a VF-1S off eBay. OK, sorry for the side topic. We now return to your regularly scheduled programming already in progress... Quote

When Ebay has the In-App ebay bux promotions I buy literally all crap I need like TP, canned foods, soap, vitamins, etc just so that I can get ebay bux off the record for Toys I don't need Sitting on about 350 myself hehe Quote

LOL It's not that I need the money or rewards (though it's nice), but it's more to hide toy purchases from the warden (aka wife) since she doesn't have access to my eBay account. Quote

beatsing Posted June 12, 2019 Posted June 12, 2019 Dang missed the valk this morning. Open for 10 minutes? the preorder day lasted seconds Quote

That's why I rarely care about insurance for shipping. I always go with cheapest shipping and pay with CC so the money I saved can go towards insuring myself and if I have to cc can refund me worst case scenario. Quote
