I don’t want to create alarm for anyone that got an order from HLJ, but I had contacted them regarding my cart jacking out of curiosity and got this reply: 

 

Thanks for the update. If they really did take too many orders I wish they would be a little quicker about canceling the extras so we're not left wondering. 

For those that have had HLJ cancel an order before how long did it take for them to cancel it? I'm just wondering how long I have to wait before I can feel confident that my order will be fulfilled.

I canceled my previous order and re-ordered using your link

FYI - Yellow is up for PO at BBTS. Link: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/92115

This was crazy. I went to bed just minutes before it went up on Amazon JP. Still kicking myself about that. I was able to secure an order at HLJ, but I am worried I may get the dreaded "Server Error" email and the order canceled. I was hoping to get an order in with Amazon just to be sure. 

I'm surprised this has still not gone up on Amazon yet. All the listings on there now are from third party sellers and they are all 34K or higher

Right now I'm completely unsure of how HLJ handles their order numbers. On the confirmation screen following submitting my order I was given 000149388, but on the order number under my account shows 15095377. ????

Double check the confirmation email, one of those numbers may be your customer ID and the other is probably the order ID.

This happened to me on one of the VF-31 DX PO nights, so I am hoping that I don't repeat that again.

Man that sucks that it's already happened to you before. I'm crossing my fingers for both of that we were a few of the lucky ones this time

Got my confirmation & order number from HLJ! 

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

even HLJ order confirmation on PO madness night is not a guarantee of a secured PO due to server issue and historically cancelling orders in recently months.

I know. I was able to get an order in at HLJ, but I'm nervous that it will get canceled

why is amazon so exspensive??????

Because it's a third party seller, not actually Amazon

Got my order in at HLJ. I received a confirmation email and the order is showing in my order history. Crossing my fingers that my order doesn't get canceled

Does HLJ give shipping prices?

Not for PO items. At least, not that I've been able to find. I want to say the old site did show estimated shipping costs, but it's been awhile so I could be misremembering

Got the weirdest confirmation email from HLJ.

Somehow, this does not look right...

My address and the order ID are both missing from the email.

I got the same. No shipping address and blank Order Id, but then I got another email just now that had all the correct info. The first email was titled "Order Acknowledgement" whereas the second email with the correct info was titled "Order Confirmation"

I just hope any future releases aren't this tough to PO. I don't remember having to stay up at 2AM hitting F5 to order any of the Yamato 1/48s. Of course, that was a long time ago. I would have things would be easier to order now days rather than the opposite. Is that just how things are these days?

This was my first time doing one of these late night/early morning PO things. I've been out of Macross collecting for a long time. I had a decent collection of Yamato 1/48s back in the day, but ended up selling them all. I always regretted that so this new 1/48 from Bandai has me so excited. Luckily I was able to resist the urge to buy more than 1, but I'm pretty sure I will buy any 1/48 VF-1 they put out. Part of me hopes they stick to just the core valks, but then the insane part of me hopes they release everything.

here's some red heatshield hikaru VF-1S love

Oh yeah!

Maybe this was the reference to Real Skull leaders?

 

But real-world skull leaders don't have heatshields or fast packs, do they? Just kidding. I know some people just prefer the black and that's cool. 

Personally, I like red/black more than yellow/black so I prefer Hikaru's 1S. That said, Roy's is more iconic I think

hate red on heat shields and fast packs.

real skull leaders 001 use black.

So are you saying Hikaru isn't a real skull leader then? The heat shield and emblem on his fast packs is most definitely red when he is skull leader 

Has a very smooth and pleasant transaction with ultraman zoffy. Excellent communication and super fast shipping.

Bump!

Positive feedback for Perrych. Smooth transaction. He's a great buyer.
