If you're still in the tarmac or taxiing, go for it! Take a chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the pre-order sites I've seen thus far, Ami Ami is the only one I've used previously. I've registered new accounts with a couple alternative vendors, but w/o prior experience I'm a little wary. I've been in the game for over 30 years and I've been burned more times than I care to admit. If there's a silver lining, it's that credit card companies have been pretty generous lately with clawing back "scammed" funds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to log into the usual Japanese sites and try my luck at 3am Eastern, but not holding my breath. Interesting how AmiAmi now opens a day later, which may not be a bad thing.

Arakure Knight Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Time to fire up the ol' account for another round of preorders - always greatful to everyone here for the link posts! Seems Luna Park would be everyone's last resort given the price. Despite the VF-21 finally becoming available, the Ostrich is the one worth dying for...

Falcon Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 HLJ hasn't been a great website for preorders for quite some time. The ordering method is also extremely user unfriendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
