borgified Posted January 9, 2024 Posted January 9, 2024 Times have changed indeed over these years. I think we’re all starting to get too old for these things that we used to do in our younger years as we all age gracefully. Quote

Expand I noticed that too. 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

Arakure Knight Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 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... Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 For US, TamashiiWeb listed these stores: Amazon (Tamashii Nations Store), BBTS, CrunchyRoll, Entertainment Earth. Links provided on the Tamashii site is routing to its respective homepages. Keep an eye out. Quote

Expand Maybe, but finding anything on their site during a pre-order is almost impossible. Their search doesn't work, and they sell out in seconds to people with inside info on the product pages.

Falcon Posted January 10, 2024 Posted January 10, 2024 HLJ hasn't been a great website for preorders for quite some time. The ordering method is also extremely user unfriendly. Quote
