good night everyone, looks like most of us was able to secure at least one order from somewhere. I'm too hyper to go to bed now... and I can already hear the birds chirping outside... it's going to be a sleepy work day for me
-
I just got mine as well. Ordered twice from HLJ. Received just one confirmation so far, fingers crossed they will either cancel the duplicate or I will keep checking in my account to make sure.
-
Has anyone else received email confirmation from HLJ? I can't even see my order(s) on their site if I wanted to go in an cancel the duplicate.
-
thanks for letting me know about HLJ and their "Soup Nazi" approach to repeated orders (repeated just because they didn't give me any order confirmation numbers!).
-
I'm sure everyone has different verdicts on the various PO websites, but for my future POs, I'd say: CDJ - slow but at least gets me the order and confirms by email, site never crashed Amiami - site crashed a few times, and I missed the short window, but I see a few others got theirs in HLJ - quick to accept orders, but no confirmation whatsoever, very annoying HobbySearch - forget it, the PO window must have lasted like 5 seconds NY - completely failed with website down all the time during this critical hour.
-
have you tried CDJ? I was able to get an order in at about 6:30 JPT
-
just checking since I forgot how HLJ's preorders work, they don't charge you until they are ready to ship right?
-
I have not bought from HLJ in the last couple years and won't be surprised if they cancel the two POs that I've placed. They suck in this regard, with no confirmation emails or order numbers after you submit.
-
finally got an order confirmation email from CDJ... even though their page is still loading from the final paypal screen. At least I can now see an order number from them.
-
and the page crashed after order summary, now I have to start again urgh. sorry for venting but super frustrating
-
i'm 15 mins in and still at order summary page!
-
still trying to checkout at CDJ... snail speed
-
CDJ is so slow to checkout... why do i need to log in again??
-
agree - damn I was too busy putting in a duplicate order at HLJ and missed the Amiami window (and it was constantly down as well)
-
Hobby Source was never up or is it sold out already??
-
amiami sold out... it was either in error or I was on the other laptop checking HLJ's confirmation...
-
damn i put in the order twice at HLJ, no confirmations...
-
didn't get any confirmations... damn
-
thanks! got one at HLJ
-
Yeah I'm one of the people waiting for the 31A from them as well. I won't be relying on them this time round.
-
yeah after I typed the reply, I was thinking I may have overestimated their competence.
-
I wonder if they put up a placeholder page deliberately to catch the bot purchasers at 4pm lol.
-
right - maybe that's what the high price was - a placeholder.
-
I swear I saw the DX chogokin YF-19 on NY moments ago showing up as "available" and priced at something like 55k yen, and now their server is dead again.
-
I thought someone said that the MB Aile Strike goes on PO at 6pm Japan time?
