David Hingtgen Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 HLJ's site MIGHT load and finish logging me in by then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Dex Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm logged into HLJ and CDJ. Those are the two I've trusted and have worked before. I still have points at CDJ from my 31A purchase and birthday apparently, lol.. so it might be worth my time to order there. I know if you do paypal it is up front at CDJ but if it is by card is it also up front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know it was a thing... but it had 300 points listed for that... it was the first of my birthdays since that account was made.. so maybe it's a one time thing?

You have to input your birthdate in your account profile. Once that’s done ,cdjapan will give 300 yen to your account on the month of your birthday every year.

But you will not get billed in your statements until it’s shipped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the VF-31A DX pre-order with my card and it basically acted like normal where it did the reauthorization once or twice over the months before release but once it shipped then I got charged. Worked pretty well for me. Good to know. My points will basically amount to about $10 off but hey, every little bit, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolicon Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Amiami's site more or less works okay. HLJ on the other hand... half the time when I try to buy something it'll show nothing in my cart, or it just won't load the cart page at all. And it's slow as f*** the rest of the time when it does (eventually) work. Anyone know how to do Advanced Search on HLJ's new site? Or was that removed entirely?

Lolicon Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Amiami VF-4 page is up. Limit 3 per customer. Yay! https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-043796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Dex Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I know HLJ usually doesn't put the order page up until the minute the pre-order starts.. but CDJ usually has it earlier, not finding it however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guyffon Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) For some reason its not yet on sale though ami ami says 3pm japan time, maybe its a typo some members say nin ni is untrustworthy though I had success buying from them before, oh i just noticed nin nin requires immediate payment, so I’ll pass on that Edited November 1, 2018 by Guyffon Added further information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While waiting, here's some big promo pics courtesy of Tamashii site. Notice that the Gunpod's handle is not the same as the regular VF-1's. And there's a removable Gunpod attachment underneath the belly. Cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the cheapest, but shipping was decent I thought. I got 2. Not the cheapest? I thought the price was competitive enough compared with AmiAmi's price of Y10990. By the way, did you pay upfront for those two orders? I'm just curious since I read a few negative remarks about them. And I haven't used them before.

Mazinger Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I tried to pay through nin-nin-game and almost immediately got a text from my bank about another charge for $750. Not sure what that was about as I don't recall that so replied to prevent my transaction, now my card is de-activated for a bit. Guess I'm sitting this one out. UPDATE: Nevermind, I do know what that charge was. Not nin-nin-game's fault. Edited November 1, 2018 by Mazinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the early link! Got one via cheapest shipping method (2-3 weeks with tracking) for a total of 11917 Yen (although the cc payment was 95.89 EUR so a little bit of FX charge there). Never ordered from them before and while I do understand some folks had concerns with this company before, I’m happy to take a chance with them. It also helps to know you have had good experience with your last few orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdrunner Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Seems awfully quiet here compared to the last preorder (DX VF-1J). I might just hang around a bit for the Amazon option, get my second and call it a night... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chronocidal Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hmm... the big question.. do I claim my VF-31A cancellation discount, and grab two freebies from NY tonight? Will probably still grab one from CDJ and HLJ if I can, just to be safe though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
