Briefly, but it is (as of this moment) listed as in stock again.

Live now and in stock.

It'll undoubtedly get a Bluefin release in the US, no real reason to worry.

Holy cow why is the SOC 2202 Yamato so expensive? This is getting crazy.

The motorized turrets are presumably a good chunk of it. Niche product they know they have a mostly captive audience for?

Obi-wan is finally up on HLJ. https://hlj.com/s-h-figuarts-obi-wan-kenobi-star-wars-revenge-of-the-sith-bans55194

Just got my separate order confirmation e-mail.

Has anyone gotten an order confirmation?

I got "order acknowledgement" so far.

My god. It finally finished. 42 god forsaken minutes into this ordeal, the first 15 spent just trying to FIND the item and the rest spent struggling with being unable to check out.

Whoo, checkout page 1 finished. On to checkout page 2!

Well, I made it to the checkout page but none of the individual elements are loading.

My god, HLJ might be letting me through finally.

Stuck being unable to check out. Just keeps insisting a problem occurred. 

This HLJ redesign is death itself.

That would be the page that was never actually up.

Considering getting the VF-2SS release, anything I should know about before making my first Hi-Metal purchase? I'm a little worried about those landing gears, they look very fragile. Have they broken on anyone yet?

Only real issue I've heard of with the VF-2SS figures is the FAST Packs equivalent (SAP?) having sprue marks on some parts that are really obvious. There's few true locking mechanisms to the leg and arm joints, so you'll have to fiddle with things to get them right in the various modes. Joints are nice and solid, the figure itself looks gorgeous and basically does the best job you could hope for at its scale of making anime magic happen.

Huh. Metal-Build-ish Huckebein wasn't something I expected to show up out of nowhere. Neat.

At that point you might as well just buy the KOs.

$240, and shipped by Amazon, so free shipping. That's only like $30 more than CDJ with SAL shipping was.

For an HLJ pre-order it's realistically only $10 or so more (plus tax with Amazon) and two months later.

Bluefin release on Amazon already.

Omg, I missed the Eva pre order

If you were even 5 minutes later you missed it. It just plain broke multiple websites and was out at those and the others within 5 minutes of going up.

I don't get it. You guys were able to get into the NY site? All its showing me is the "sorry for the inconvenience" page.

It was up and down for brief periods of time, if you rushed you were able to get the process done in time.

Yeah, NY just straight up died about two minutes after it went up.

CDjapan is still up: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-300127

CDJapan still has stock as of this reply.

Already gone at HLJ too. Wow.
