kajnrig Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Yeah, I'm honestly surprised Luna Park are STILL accepting orders; I'd have thought they'd close it down the moment preorders started. How are they guaranteeing stock? Especially when they take payment up front... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get it in my cart and then I pressed check out and next thing I know, I was taken to my order section of my account but the order isn’t there. So I’m just curious if I have to wait for an email to pay for the item Ah, if you didn't get an option to pay for the item, it might not have gone through. I actually didn't receive any email about my order either, I just scrambled to the account page to pay for it quickly, and it seems to have worked. Their site is setup a little strangely with how it handles emails about orders, the only notification I got from that order was from Paypal.

I'd rather just wait and troll Mandarake post-release rather than throw my money away at NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 One thing to definitely keep in mind about all of these releases is that I think all of the Delta valks have been available at release day, at some vendors. I can't say that for certain, but I remember regretting several of the pre-order nights when the release date rolled around, and people reported they were available at MSRP. You just have to be quick about that, because while the sites might not be hammered like a pre-order night, they might not keep in stock for very long.

They also seem to show up more often and at lower prices on the secondhand market than other releases seem to do. So all might not be totally lost. Well, that's another night of madness over and done with. Gonna hurt in the morning. G'night, all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orindlt Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Hmm - premium Luna Park - seems they figured out what was obvious to the rest of us - that if you charge us a small fee or reward us based on repeat custom, we'll bend over backwards to spend money with you.

As for T-Shirt size ,, back then it was all about Extra large,,, but now it's about tight fit , so size small? .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an email that my order was placed but I can’t see the item in my account or anything. Not sure if this will happen to you but when I tried to pre-order from them I had the item in my cart, completed the checkout process and paid for the item only to have them tell me the next day they couldn't fulfill the purchase. I had to tell them to refund me which they dragged their feet on. I won't order from them again because of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent a message earlier today but don't expect a response until tomorrow as they've got a message about being closed for a National Holiday. ------------------------- For anyone on the fence about N-Y, I don't even go to their site anymore, and I mean this in the most disrespectful way possible, F those guys. They fully deserve every bit of negative feedback they get. I was able to get one at AmiAmi, cart jacked at Hobby Search and HLJ. But I'm not overly worried or bummed, I'll pick up another copy at or around release. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommar Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 This might be it for me. Lunapark is still an unknown and I can’t do this 1am bullshit anymore. Unless Arcadia releases something you can actually buy at a store I’m done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Did everyone receive what they pre-ordered from LunaPark (I'm trying them for the first time on this) - it was just a bit of an initial growing pains with poor packaging on the first round of shipping? I'm getting your frustration @Mommar - totally understand. Had to get up at 3am here, took forever to get back to sleep on a work day - argh. I'm too old for this crap too! I wonder how long will it take them to get their legal gears together for international distribution of these toys - its gotta be at least a year away. The worst part is that they might not make any more of these toys initially to gauge demand, it will just be more people fighting over the same number of toys initially maybe?

I've ordered a handful of items from LunaPark and received everything and in a timely manner. Oddly enough my Macross items were packaged well, but my recent order (Gundam item) was shipped only in two DHL bags and a little bubble wrap (IIRC). It's a miracle that item arrived in good shape. I'd use them again, but I'd say packaging seems to be the only concern (consistency in how careful items are packed from my perspective). -b.
