Should we be worried that Luna Park still has PO's open and available, esp. for a TWE item? Have they been known to oversell and cancel people's orders at a later date?
I know we've all been traumatized by NY, but it totally reminds me of my final PO with them before they went under. It was for the SSP, which was a TWE exclusive. They never "sold out" of the item so I'm sure they got a ton of orders (and $$$) from that. That's when they ran away with everyone's $$$.
Also, no experience with this place but here's another option for brave adventurous souls:

Available again on Hobby Genki:

It was listed as "Sold Out " at AE a minute ago, but is now available again. Go go go!
A glitch in the Matrix. It never showed as available again for me on two computers that were constantly being refreshed.
A blessing in disguise for me. Had it in my cart and hesitated for a split second and it sold out in that second. I didn't really NEED a third one, did I? 🤣
EDIT: Just noticed the order did go through! It's just waiting for payment now. Dammit! Do I piss off my wallet and earn a few nights on the couch when the wife finds out with this third one, or do I let it go? Decisions, Decisions...

ok so all those places listed above are sold out.. whats next to look for AE?
I don't tihnk NNG have opened up yet. I don't remember seeing Genki open up, but I could be wrong. AE will be tough because everyone and their mother is probaby "sitting outside the store" waiting for it to open up.

Oh on peoples orders...look up what status you are. Mine says Status 2...so maybe their second wave of purchase they secured? Just a thought. Or it could mean something different and I am just an idiot
Mine says "(A1) Product Payment". That could mean I paid and still need to pay for shipping, or it could mean "we have your money and you'll never see it or the product ever again!"

Welp I will go down or succeed with the rest. I got order confirmation and says "Out of stock" as soon as I went back? Is that like AE when you are limited to only 1?
I think it did legit sold out after you bought yours. I ordered one and was able to go back and put another in my cart. I was monitoring their stock and it was gradually going down over the past few minutes.

I went ahead with YoYakuNow, and just used a credit card so even if they pull something I've got longer than paypal's lack of resolve lol
although I ended up finding a lot of threads in various forums with people not having issues, and its got a 4.9 trust rating, the same as almost all the others so.
whatever, I'll order two once another more well known site opens up.I did the same thing you did, based on the same reasons you specified. Most of those negative comments were from over a year ago and all of the recent stuff seems like people are happy overall.
Like someone said earlier, these sites are great... until they're not. NNG used to be looked down upon, but it seems people have been using them more frequently with better success.
<Of course, this is just my way of convincing myself for not being a fool and ordering from potential crooks that stole from me before...>

It's definitely up again. Typical AmiAmi. Sells out in seconds, then opens up again about 10 minutes later.

One thing to also keep in mind is that there may be fees for paying F&F with a credit card. This wasn't always the case, but it's something PP implemented about a year ago.
For example, when I last paid as F&F with my credit card, PP immediately warns you that there's a fee. That wasn't all that much. But then my credit card penalized me an additional $10 because they saw the transaction as a "cash advance". YMMV depending on your credit card, but that's what mine did...

PayPal refunded my NY payment, in full.
You dodged a bullet, my friend. The rest of us aren't so lucky 'cause we're all beyond of our dispute window. We'll just have to live vicariously through you...

It seems like, other than HLJ, it's hard to trust any of these retailers. Maybe AmiAmi?
For me, even HLJ failed once when they took too many orders and sent out cancellation notices later (just like AE this time around).
Having said that, I still trust HLJ, AmiAmi and AE. I've also discovered some smaller shops that haven't done me wrong (yet), like Okiniland and Plaza Japan. I guess when it comes to buying overseas, it's always going to be YMMV.

meh. I'll give them a shot. After all, they haven't done me any harm before.
Famous last words...
That's what I said too until they STOLE over $300 from me for Super Parts that I paid for almost 2 years ago but still haven't shipped.
Best of luck to you, sir...

Was this available directly from Amazon Japan (and not from 3rd party sellers)? If so, how much was it?

Great we'll all cash in our 1 million combined store credit.
This got me thinking that, for fun, we should start a sub-thread somewhere and have folks post how much store credit they have at NY for unfulfilled/canceled orders. I'd be curious to know how much buying power we all have collectively from botched orders.

Ohhh okay I see that's cool. I didn't know that. I'm assuming nobody has preorders for this up yet? I'll take another look at the sites mentioned above. Thanks
edit: wow big in Japan sold out of the armor. I don't see the bundled version on there however.
Big In Japan still has the armor available for PO. The bundled version, I believe, won't be available until the 28th. -

Anyone hear from Nin Nin for the TV Super Parts? Or do they usually have delays on releases.
Got my shipping notice from NNG last night, via DHL. It's already in the States as of this morning.
Hope you get your shipping notice soon...

Plaza Japan just had stock of Roy but sold out in min. I didn’t catch it until 3 min too late
I was able to grab one and went all the way through checkout, but then stopped myself at the final submittal button. I already have two so I'd figure I'd let someone else have a chance. Hopefully someone who really needed one got it and not a stupid scalper. I also noticed they increased shipping by almost double. My first order only cost about $25 for the same shipping method.

Did someone mention needing ejection seat triangle and cockpit skull decals?
I'm open to doing another run of my DX valk supplemental set.
They've been coming through for many of us. My order from them arrived today. At least one of the members in your position contacted Nin-Nin and asked for a status update. They were told that there was a shipment delay for some of the stock and orders would be going out next week (I think).
Sign me up for one of these. How do I get one?

Looks like Roy is available on Okiniland again...

BBTS just sold out of their 2 copies of the VT-1 (!), because I can't fathom the thought of anyone paying that much when there are cheaper options still available. Therefore, they must've only had 1 or 2 for sale.
Holy Crap!
