A whole new world of hurt for the wallet. I did just receive my NeoGeo mini from Amazon JP though. OMG! I totally forgot about the NeoGeo Mini. When is International version out? Sorry off topic!

Even a small retailer like Ami is collecting tax for Australian purchases. All my orders now have 10% added tax including shipping! The main purpose is to reduce importing purchasing that is hurting our local retail as our pricing is much more expensive than overseas. It will also be a big chunk of money in the government's pocket now too. I feel your pain. Here in Argentina we get ass raped, toys pay 50% custom taxes!!! Quote

Shizuka the Cat Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 People who ordered from NY at 15,400 yen might want to make sure in their account order history that it still shows at that price and not the new 22,000 yen price, given that the same link address was used for both pre-order pricings.... just as a precaution.

Kinzoku VF Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 NY BS as always....for ¥15000 to ¥22000 yeah ....whatever. The 15k one was in my basket, at the last payment part...and Magically ...'no more stock'.....so ¥7000 extra....what a load of bull.... Quote
Duymon Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Wow. We haven't seen NY multi-round price ups since the Mac F Renewal days Quote

ULessa Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Did everyone who ordered from HLJ get their confirmation? Quote
Ridden001 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 I grabbed a second one at NY in case my first at CDjapan got cancelled for some reason. Never bought from CDjapan before, so I'm not sure if they oversell and cancel. Quote

When it was being done before, People hate it When NY stopped it, People missed it (at least they can get piece of mind to having secured one) Now they return the practice, only for people to hate it, again Quote

Valkyrie2008 Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 (edited) Got one from Amazon JP, couldn't secure one from ami or NY. Oh by the way, NY have the balls to send me an email saying my order was canceled because items no longer available, then they put up the preorder again with the jacked up price.

Kinzoku VF Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 It was the exact same BS with the YF-19, it got stuck at the payment part..then crashed....but at least my order went through that time. Bet the NY Po will stay open for days now......Anyway end of this F5 party. At least I got one Quote
mamboeidos Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 NY freaking scam man.... pull it off and then jack up the price... mine with them also error then i just switch to CDjapan. Quote

UN Spacy Posted July 27, 2018 Posted July 27, 2018 Damn...might just go with Amazon Japan...that 1,200 yen for international shipping too good to pass up. Quote
