Octopus Prime Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 1 minute ago, jenius said: Can you two just stop 'talking'. It's a circle of zero value add conversation. There's a listing, you've pointed to it, if someone wants to pursue it great. If you're someone who doesn't want to pursue it, a simple "no thanks" will suffice. If you think it's a scam, alert an admin that they should probably remove the link. DONE. That's what I've been trying to do for some time now, so thank you. My apologies to the rest of you here for having to endure that. Good luck with your preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your favorite drink on whether that is of the alcoholic persuasion or some other refreshing beverage. I'll definitely be mixing water in between bourbon sips.

jrhudson311 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) did we ever determine if preorders started at 4pm or 5pm Japan time? Edited July 2, 2020 by jrhudson311 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 It's always been 4 PM as long as I've been doing this. What time each individual retailer decides to actually open POs is another matter. Amiami usually opens right on the dot. HLJ and HS follow at some random time after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a moot question with HS... there is a 0.0000000000001% you'll get a PO there. I feel like they get 3 of each DX because as soon as someone says "Up at HS" it has already been sold out for a minute. HLJ usually gives a decent box with the toy vacuum sealed to a piece of cardboard. Generally it works out pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkx Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I will join in tonight, just in case I get lucky. But I am already resigned to buy this on release day with a markup. May the force of F-5 be with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DYRL VF-1S Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 What's with the 20 million questions noobs? Just sit back, hang out here and enjoy the ride. You'll see people posting the info you need, I promise. Be great if you could contribute back as well. 2 minutes ago, Jade20X said: How well do HLJ and HS Pack their items? It's not going to matter. Not being a jerk but tonight - you'll be lucky to secure a PO from anywhere. So, the reality is that you'll be rolling with the chaos and will take where you can get it. Even all those people who complain about NY - many will just grab there if they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have gotten them then next few days and of course at make up. Which I am not happy about, but it beats missing out all together. But then again, there have been multiple times I could have snagged the Hik 1S or VF-1 Max or J from Mandrake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to stay up for that pre-order too if an announcement is imminent. For Roy's event, it all begins at 0300 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave IV Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 19 minutes ago, DYRL VF-1S said: Good collection there! Woodford is a nice staple if you can't decide. I prefer EH Taylor but been finding it difficult to nab lately. Haha yeah, I stock up on different kinds of Woodford because it's easier to get and pretty much my goto standard Bourbon. I don't remember (maybe a good thing?) if I had EH Taylor but thanks for the recommendation! I mainly prefer my peaty Scotch though with that Laguvulin 16 being one of my favorites. I have a stack of Glenfiddich on the top shelf that you can't see in the pick which serves as my "Wodford" of Scotches...something cheaper and easier to get but I still like a lot.

borgified Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) Put Bushmills on your list as well @Slave IV. My cousin who is studying in Ireland for her Doctoral Degree, introduced it to the rest of the family cousins when she came back in October for a short visit. It's 12am for us in the West Coast @Roy Focker (San Fran, LA, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver (both in Washington State and British Columbia), Victoria etc.) @HG Blows - You might get lucky and score one at Amiami if the servers don't crash on you.
