Kuma Style Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Just now, Shukenzero said: Kuma you must give up your preorder! It’s blasphemy! We had your word you wouldn’t fight us over this plastic perfection! Honestly I'm fine getting the U.S. preorder with a sponsor discount so if anyone wants it around the release time frame, that's more than fine. I just did this for the sake of early review. Quote
CF18 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 CDJapan or HLJ - both run out of stock during the checkout process.... AmiAmi was slow but manage to finish checkout, got the email. Quote
Alex GS Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 wow I was able to get my order from AmiAmi can't believe it went through (so many errors pop ups when doing checkout), got my confirmation email as well. Quote

Archer Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Realized I accidentally clicked "Billing address is the same as shipping address" on HLJ when they are in fact, different for me. Will this matter if I'm using Paypal for the payment option? Edited March 23, 2020 by Archer Quote

pafy6285 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 There are already some scalper postings on amazon.co.jp: https://www.amazon.co.jp/機動戦士ガンダムSEED-フリーダムガンダム-CONCEPT-ダイキャスト製-塗装済み可動フィギュア/dp/B08627JJJ6/ref=sr_1_1?camp=1207&creative=13039&ie=UTF8&keywords=4573102580580&language=en_US&linkCode=shr&linkId=aa6611b49939a8c512d4949a33860c70&qid=1584948243&s=hobby&sr=1-1 @ 54.9k though it's only available locally.

Yeah, the order page only lets me change the shipping address, no option for billing. Just went and updated my "account wide" billing address, so hopefully that applies to all open orders. Regardless, I think PayPal should take care of all that since my billing address is built into that. Quote
chyll2 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 looks like NY is sleeping. haha will try again 2 hrs from now Quote
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Its crack. I even said i didnt want it since i already have the sf soul blue ver. But saw the hlj link and said "ehh why not?" Lol. If anything itll go to one of my friends that wanted it. I know one is trying to secure an order now and the other is prob sleeping, lol. Edit: okay back to dorohedoro... XD Edited March 23, 2020 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote

I actually am up doing some photo work and got that Sentinel Falcon Armor X but then I checked out this thread, saw the links and just wanted to kind of see if I could, tbh. The HLJ one worked so smooth that I figured there must be a million of these for order because I legit never get Bandai preorders overseas. Quote

It one of the rare occasions i manage to secure one via HLJ when i failed many times previously for both MB and Macross DX Quote
juice14 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Dang missed by a hair on all platforms..... hoping Nippon Yasan pops up.... Quote
Shukenzero Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 I’m glad most who wanted it nabbed one. Was always my favourite between the Freedom and Strike Freedom, but the Metal Build never did it justice. The Strike Freedom was so garish with the gold but the MB design made me like it for the first time and that’s when I realised how out of sync the Freedom was in the line. Now it’ll look on par with the Destiny vis a vis. Quote

chyll2 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Metal build never did Justice Hopefully we can get the IJ within the decade Quote
Kuma Style Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 What's crazy is that none of this will matter in a week when the Bluefin orders start going up and it's EVERYWHERE. Quote

Yeah, im going to get flamed for not getting strike freedom I still prefer gundam designs that are slick and simple in design. Now speaking of which, besides justice, does anyone hope that bandai wlll also do an infinite justice? On the other hand, in terms of scale wise and for the GFFMC or MB line, i hope they release a RX-93 Nu and Hi-V series and maybe an EX-S Edited March 23, 2020 by recon Quote

The Freedom is elegant because it’s simple; I also love the Strike Gundam, due to the same reason, and I’ve been pondering getting the solo MB Strike as it doesn’t have the red decal on its skirt armour. The Freedom is also supposed to be sleek and fast, so this is definitely called for. It’s also a compromise calling it the Concept 2, as it doesn’t offend the original designers by bluntly adding a 2.0. Sidestepping means fans of the original can still be happy with that one, but I’m sure for most of us this will be replacing the old one. Quote

chyll2 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 if you are able to check it out. Then I guess it is good. For my experience, it always happens to me on the high demand items. Basically it is in my cart, there are 5 or 6 items left in stock but when I log in, it will alway says log in. Preventing any means for me to check it out. Quote

Kcsquare Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/30749-metal-build-freedom-gundam-concept-2.html Sold out. Surprisingly no discount from RSP Quote
anubis20 Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Couldn't sacrifice sleep for the Freedom, will be waiting on the US release Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 23, 2020 Author Posted March 23, 2020 I thought the PO was tonight. Anyways, for the mean time I’ll just lurk here until the next available link post. Or just wait for US stores link. Or just PM me if you guys want to give up your PO’s. Quote
SuperHobo Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I'll be on the lookout for US links. These days even the US retailers pre-orders go fast for popular MBs so keep your eyes peeled on this thread and retail sites. Bandai has been limiting stock even to US retailers lately to prevent overstock. Unit 02 is still available for slightly marked up prices, mostly from Bandai responding to the overwhelming amount of scalping for the EVA units. Lets get FREEDOMs for everyone who wants one. Edited March 23, 2020 by SuperHobo Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 Looks like it was as bad as I thought but yeah I’m waiting for US stores to open pre orders. I’m rewatching Seed right now building up hype. I need a strike ASAP lol Quote
