jvmacross Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I also like how you can choose the payment currency on NY.....as of late, paying with JPY is still advantageous.... I paid for my Defenders up front.....I think the yen is going to get stronger soon....don't want to end up paying more for these by August....

Chronocidal Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Really liking the simplicity of easy pre-orders on these. Got a pair ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 If HLJ's price was a little cheaper and there was no limit, I'd buy them there. I'll probably pay NY in advance for my 7 sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Oh yeah what a morning. Totally spaced out on the preorder last night, thought it was tonight for some reason. Still managed to snag 2 a few minutes ago. AWESOME!!! That feeling of dread when you realize you missed a preorder the following night really sucks. I'm glad it worked out...whew. Then got some more good news. Saw in my email that got 2 notices from n-y about the Milia preorder - prep. in progress and shipped. Oh yeah. I wasn't expecting to get both notices in the same night before i woke up. Now to see if i get ripped off from Taku-toys. Took a risk with them for a milia preorder with 1/2 payment upfront/ Strange they haven't contacted me for the other half yet. Fingers crossed.

Though i usually just wait till last minute anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacemanoeuvres Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I enjoy the private warehouse feature and shopping experience at hlj. But the low pre-order prices at NY are hard to beat haha Are there any other shops selling the milia vf-1j? I only see it at NY and Nin Nin right now.

Lonely Soldier Boy Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Ordered one at NY. You can't beat that price even with EMS, and I only want one, so I'm cancelling Hlj. Do they combine shipping?

HLJ combine through their Private Warehouse system, but items can only be held for a maximum of 60 days. So Spartans (May) and Defenders (August) couldn't be shipped together if pre-ordered.

Probably due to their double extra reward points campaign. 1346 yen off for future orders is a pretty good bonus for ordering 2 defenders .

So when NY took forever to ship me my Arcadia Reaction armor the packaging hinted at the reason. Unlike HLJ that has a supply of HLJ boxes and just throws in shipping material to make your item fit one of their standard sizes (usually by vacuum sealing your toy to a piece of cardboard), NY actually customizes boxes to get them as small as possible. It's definitely not as safe/sturdy as HLJ's boxes. So with NY, if you're lucky, what you ordered perfectly fits a box they have. If what you ordered is in between box sizes, you probably have more of a delay as they cut up and tape a box for you. Crazy..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
