 It's kind of funny to me now.  I am wondering if it will break 250.00 by mid next week.  Where do they keep getting their inventory from?  Is it cancelled orders or some other black magic sorcery?

Appreciate the heads up!  Was able to get an order in.

They announced and put up (as a web exclusive) the TV super packs (with red-tip reaction missiles).

Ahh, man.. I went to sleep... Can't ever sleep again!

There was a preorder last night?   Was this announced at the event last night?  Wasn't able to catch it.  Generally good?  Did most get what they needed?

Did Okini Land just put some more on sale?

Their loyalty program points went up from 1.95 to 2.11, meaning they marked it up

They opened up for a quick minute, and I mean "quick" earlier this morning.  Cost was about 210 USD before shipping.  Haven't seen any activity since.

You need to select specific elements, and use the triggering condition options. Also helps if you check the change monitor and see what's setting it off.

Ahh, Thanks for the tips!  I'll play around with it.  Would definitely have helped last night.  But had to do it the old fashioned way of button mashing that F5 into oblivion.

I use Distill web monitor, you can select specific elements to monitor, and triggering conditions.

I can never get that thing to work properly.  I keep getting pinged every 5 seconds, but no visible changes to the website.  -__-

Just scored 1 on Okiniland! Go go!

Man.. don't know how you guys do it.   I'd be in a coma if I took shots for each time I got cart jacked.  Lol. Sad times..

I ordered 2 and I was offered shipping options around $70 (EMS) and $60 for like a week longer wait time. 

Ahhh ok, I only ordered 1.  I should have stated that.  

Okini Land reopened their PO.  Cost is higher but can order directly through them.  I believe their shipping to the US is around 26.00 USD.

Might be a noob question, but do the TWE get released on AmazonJP as well?

I see....probably an arm and a leg to ship to Canada. 

Will check it out on Yahoo Auctions, maybe get the wife to have it sent to her parent's place.

 

When I ran it, the shipping cost to California, US was around 54.00 USD.  Hope that helps you ball-park the cost.  

Been following along for a while now, but still feel pretty noobie when it comes to collecting these toys.  Question to you guys out there.  Is there a "preferred" forwarder you guys use to acquire these toys?  I've been looking for a 1S and it doesn't seem AJ is going to have any stock any time soon(never).  So I might as well just purchase off a 3P seller, send to a forwarder and pay them the commission to ship to me.  Was going to go with Big In Japan since their commission is only 500 Yen.

What do you guys think?

Thanks for this!  For some reason I thought this was a link to the 1S and I almost soiled myself.  Gotta get my hands on one of those!
