I did too, but I am not letting myself get too happy about it. Apparently, HLJ's new ordering system allows orders to go through that shouldn't and they have been cancelling orders recently. It hasn't happened to me yet personally, but given how tonight went I am hoping for the best but expecting the worst Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Valkyrie23 38 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 The funny thing is that aside from Hikaru, the VF-1A Max was not ever really that popular. Even with the Yamato V2 1/60 versions they went on clearance for awhile. I know Bandai is more limited, but hopefully there won't be as strong secondary demand for this *crosses fingers* Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lolicon 1,085 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I'm not going to be confident in my HLJ order until at least a week or two from now, when I don't receive a cancellation email during that time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roy Focker 210 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Biggest flaw is no site will keep items in your cart. At least keep it people's carts from more than 1 minute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Duymon 289 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Honestly I think Kakizaki will be easier. Luca's rvf-25 was so easy to get since the PO window was more like 45 seconds instead of 5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Duymon 289 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 People should watch Anime Export and Bandaionline. Both are very reliable, but are pay-up-front shops. Both are 100x more reliable than nin-nin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was checking out at HLJ, I selected paypal and got a message to contact the support team. Don't know if that means I was cart jacked. Then I selected credit card, and got the same message.

UN Spacy 309 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Keep trying folks. A few months back I was able to nab a certain 31 DX from Ami two hours after preorders had closed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Double check the confirmation email, one of those numbers may be your customer ID and the other is probably the order ID. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lolicon 1,085 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 FYI Bandai PO night mid-checkout is not the optimal time to be making changes to your account information. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I checked and neither one is my customer ID. I also got two emails from HLJ now. The first is an "order acknowledgement" and the second email is an "order confirmation" (after it appeared on my recent orders on their site). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
