too bad the shipping is going to pretty high for that big item.

Were you able to place the order in the first place? or did you place the order but get email from them about issues?

Try logging off your account, add the item to your cart, now finish your transaction by going through the process and sign back on when needed.

Did you cancel from them before? did you get banned?

For the life of me i cannot get this GD preorder if someone is willing to scoop one up for me i will surely pay for it... otherwise i'll just have to keep lurking here..

If you click on "follow this topic" on the upper right , whenever someone post in this topic you will get a email about it. it'll be from instock go go go, to isamu 1 head laser , to did someone have off screen sex. etc. But sure enough you should get a notification on every reply /post, as long as you have your smart phone next to you. It's also best to set a special loud alert for the email associated with your Macrossworld account so it can wake you up when you are sleeping too.

if you are not getting those emails, then you need to check your notification setting, in your account options, and make sure "email" is checked.

Bay Area guy here , when I use EMS it's normally SFO customs which clears really fast . When I use Register SAL it's normally LA custom which takes days to a week , and last time they sent my package to east cost on a tour of the USA..

Glad I can help ,

Yeah no worries , BBTS won't get them earlier than 2 weeks after release. Maybe even a month later. So just keep your BBTS as backup . Also even if you forget to cancel , you can still get a full refund on your Pre-order from BBST , but it'll be in store credit form.

don't forget CDJapan , they might have some extras too .

Now I know why NY didn't ship my item. They wanted to fleece me for more money. They gave me an invoice, I fully paid for it and then they ask me for more shipping money because the "box was bigger than expected". Apparently the shipping amount in the invoice (that I paid for thus completing the contract) is only an estimate and this is the second time they pulled this stunt on me. I'm done with NY. The Grace VF-27 will be the last I get from those bloodsuckers.

I should've just went with HLJ. Wanna know how much I paid for shipping? 18,200 yen and now they want another 13,400. HLJ charges maybe 1/3 that amount.

Did you order like 10? The shipping price for 1 vf-1j armored is 3860 yen from Hlj , it's actually pretty heavy around 3 lbs. But they also limit on how much a customer can purchase so I don't think it will work with your large order.

For Nippon Yasan orders , depending on how much I can save on combin shipping cost , I actually prefer to ship them separately. I remember their combine shipping for 3 vf-25 was like only 500 yen in saving, so I made 3 separate orders , lol all shipping to the same address. It's safer , what are the chances that all 3 gets lost , and better packaging protection. Also should your preorder item ending up bigger or heavier than their estimate , because it's a single or small order , they will just eat the difference , but for huge/large orders it will be too noticeable and they will not let it slide, and with international orders when you go over a certain size or weight , the price can increase dramatically. Was your other Nippon Yasan extra invoice you happen to be a large order too.

Main reason for purchasing this from N-Y, their pre order price was 19,950 yen with Rsal 1,890 , at 21,840 shipped it's pretty tough to beat.

I just notice GGinfinite have the pre-order up for Metal Build Strike Freedom. They posted the price at $225.89

Which is the same pre-order pricing as their METAL BUILD Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Mina.

Their pre-order requires payment upfront.

It's still too early as the official price hasn't been announce yet, but it's a start.

at least their pre-order start date is never a surprise, they always post the date , weeks before.

I think Bandai just like the landing gears being metal in color. I don't own any Hi-metals other than VF-19s, but it seems bandai painted their landing gears in Silver. So it seems it's just their preference even when given the option to paint them they choose a metal paint.

I understand why they are suppose to be white, but the plain metal landing gears does work pretty well on the Chogokin line, for me at least.

Boy, I really hope this isn't the case as I think I figured out how to cancel the other pre-order...

Considering what "neoexcaliber" is saying about possible over pre-order from HLJ due to system issues. It might be best to not cancel your other pre-order just yet.

Should you get both of the VF-19 I bet you can sell it mid way too (Cost of both Valk then divided by 2) It's like at cost of inflated price with discount

That's never happened before and if they did make more, I'm sure the other retailers would've put them up for sale. It's been going up and down the past 1 1/2 hours so I'm assuming it's a mistake.

I can understand why you would assume it's a mistake, but i got nothing to loose on placing a pre-order in.

and the by the way, it's back to order stop now , so base on your assumption, that a good sign for those that place the order..

I would probably place my bet on HLJ than the other questionable place. They place a pending $$$ on my Credit card on my old VF-25s pre-order too but when they couldn't get any, The pending never became a charged.

what's the worse that can happen, you getting 2 vf-19a?

or maybe the reason for the delay was to make more. at least that's what I was hoping for.

no problem, I missed out on the first pre-order from all the stores due to all kinds of reasons,, finally got the pre-order in today, and now to start hunting the 2nd one. come on hobby Search email me , damit it.

too bad it was only limit to 1 per customer.

this is your chance guys

hlj has the vf-19 advance now.. go go go!

Yeah N-Y had the best price when they started the preorder , now they increase the price around 1,000 yen more and bump the shipping around 500 yen. But the current price is still very good. Too bad they don't have HLJ customer service.

Bandai's out for blood this year , announcing and releasing tons of stuff left and right. I hope the MB Strike Freedom stays under 30,000 yen. The MB Astray is a surprise , I mean we kinda know it's gonna happen but wasn't expecting it so soon . At least from the pics it looks like just painted up samples so hopefully it won't be out until end of the year or early next year . If those Astray comes in plain basic issues gun/shield/beam then at least it's price should probably be under 14,000. Then they can sell their option packs for them .

This line must be doing pretty good for Bandai to focus so much more on it .

I can't wait for their announcement of Metal build Strike gundam with Aile pack and then a Skygrassper with launcher and sword pack add-on options pack . and Justice where's my Justice?

Once I know the date , I'll do my norm, set a couple of alarms on my phone calendar , and check here and there for updates from the normal shops , and if I forget , cdjapan will probably sent me a nice pre-order email to remind me . Then there's bbts and thetoysource for the morning after, ,

If it's a release like the MB Avalanche exia then i'm pretty much stuck with N-Y or BIJ.

From my experience, HLJ offer the best international customer service .

Got it. Thanks!

Edit: Would you recommend standard SAL or Registered SAL?

Select Private warehouse. That way if you ever want to get something else. you can add it to your order later

Also you will be able to see how much it will cost at what shipping service you choose once the item is release and then select the best one one for your need. With HLJ sometime choosing the faster speed is only couple of $ more.

If my only option is SAL or Registered SAL ,I will always use registered SAL ($3 more), because the day when I use just SAL is when my item will go missing , lol
