brouken 22 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Oh well. At least I got one order in with HLJ. It would have been a nice bonus to get it for JPY17,920, but I'm satisfied with what I've got. Good luck to the rest! Have a blessed day everyone! Signing out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F360 454 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 well for those that missed it and is located in the USA. Do not worry, there should be preorders for domestic orders soon from your regular toy sites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eXis10z 89 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 So in the end it's back to square one if we had po from NY. Better to save ourselves the effort and just po from the other sites in future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F360 454 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 by the way, now that the 3rd impact is over and everyone is taking their orange juice break.. 2nd Preroder for the event exclusive MB Strike Freedom Soul Blue Ver is starting in 30 minutes. http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000127610 yes, you will need to get a proxy preorder it, and then go there to pick it up for you when the event opens.

dragonstar1982 72 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Well the lack of sleep paid off, just woke up to see that I had a email from NY saying that my Eva pre-order went through... Back to bed with a smile Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was trying to check out for over half an hour when cdj had 20+ pre-order slots left. Not sure about you, but the site kept crashing for me and then I started to get random cart errors. I was only trying to order one. Nah, this was a tough one. Good on those who lucked out. 3 hours ago, Atheonyirh said: https://www.amazon.com/Tamashii-Nations-Eva-01-Genesis-Evangelion/dp/B07GYS2879/ Bluefin release on Amazon already. That's more my speed. Since I tend to ship EMS/FedEx/DHL, I'm ok with the price difference. And with Amazon there is always a chance that the price could go down. Edit: Ok. I had a gift card balance left on my amazon account. That brought the price+tax+shipping down to $215. I'm not sure if metal build prices fluctuate on amazon at all like other products (this is my first real foray into MB pre-order madness), but I'm content with how I did. That's just $6.88 more than N-Y's pre-order price with EMS shipping. Edited September 3, 2018 by technoblue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Valkyrie Griffon 7 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Man what a mess. Once again Bandai prove they are the most anti-consumer Japanese company out there. At this point they are as bad as Harmony Gold in my opinion, just with a few less convicted felons in the executive offices. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Archer 24 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Either Eva is waaaay more popular than I thought or Bandai purposefully made a lower production number than their Gundam metal builds. I think I’m just gonna stick with CDJapan in the future. I don’t mind paying upfront if it means at least having a shot at getting one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mog_kupo 26 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This happens with most of the Metal Build releases, if I recall correctly the 00 QanT sold out as quickly as this Eva Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slave IV 802 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 And to join in the disscussion, yeah these Bandai releases across the board have been ridiculous. Whatever the allotted quantity is, these retail shop websites are horrible. Almost every one crashes during every significant preorder period. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alex GS 83 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 What an experience this was, this is the first time I waited hours without getting into sleep and I end up getting nothing, now I know how it feels , last time was the mayhem with the Aile Strike and the YF 19 but that wasn't that bad cause I manage to get the YF 19 in the end.
