ps99041 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Being a 1/60 collector I didn't want to get into Hi-Metal R but the VF-2SS just looks too good. Bought 1 at Ami Ami and then said what the hell let me get another so I can open 1 and keep 1 MISB. Now should I start buying the rest of the line? Decisions...

Hehehe. Hope it looks good besides the VF-1J since VF-1J figure has more panel lines than the sleek looking VF-2SS.

technoblue Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Got one early on at amiami, and tried to get another one early at hobby search too but that didn't work out. I ended up going back to amiami to pick up the second. That'll do for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) I got one at HLJ earlier. However, any of you guys successful paying at CDJ via non-paypal for this HMR? I am somehow unsuccessful with both my regular card and a newer card. WTF?! edit/update: Resolved! Finally got one at cdj and now I can cancel the hlj one. Guess there was some timing issue with the new system at cdj. Edited July 3, 2017 by treatment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also looking at the 35th anniversary color. I just have never been a big fan of the Hi-Metal VF-1 - the proportions just look a little off to me but I love Tenjn's box art. Oh well, maybe my kids can get scholarships when they're ready for college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 OT: I have been seeing HLJ notices about their new payment scheme. It is a good thing I noticed it on this relatively easy PO. I would be damn pissed if during a VF-31C or metal build pre-order and HLJ asked me for my credit card info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone posted a screen shot that showed a credit card payment using a service called GoInterPlay. Probably just for certain countries. Edit: ^^^yep, that's the one. As for conversion rate, hopefully it's just whatever your card charges but I'm glad I don't have to deal with it. I wish I could just pay directly with a credit card on HLJ like they used to have a couple years ago. Paypal is annoying, especially with their "phantom" switching to their own conversion rates.

chyll2 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Not really sure on to explain it. And I am not sure how people are affected. Before, I would pre-order stuff and select payment method. For Paypal, you would have to two option, one is Paypal Billing Agreement (auto-charge what ever is due for payment) or Normal Paypal payment (I already forgot that method), but this method usually sends you an email where you will pay the Paypal Charges. Right now, After checking out, everything will be re-confirmed like billing address and the payment scheme. Payment method now only allow me to choose between Credit card and Paypal Billing Agreement. For known reasons, I would never allow Paypal Billing agreement cause paypal usually have BUGS/GLITCHES that allow them to use their forex services instead of the Card. So my choice for this would be Credit Card, which just so happen, I do not have recorded Credit Card with HLJ edit: It also threw me in confusion when it showed me a converted local currency pricing. Anyway, everything can be adjusted even after you finalized your order. Edited July 3, 2017 by chyll2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when HLJ dropped the PayPal "Bill Me Later" option for "Billing Agreements" only. It was a slightly annoying surprise at the time, but turned out to be okay and easy to work around.

seti88 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Might have to do with the fact that M2 isnt as popular as SDFM or folks spent on the evo SAP packs not that long ago....either way am just glad got the pre-order in easy peasy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
