Hmm, well, as a retailer, I'll give our end of why we prefer pre-orders. It helps us know what quantity to order so that we don't order too much and get stuck with them in our warehouse. Why is pre-ordering good for you guys? Because by helping us better manage stock, we can keep prices low.
Now in regards to ordering the VE-1 from HLJ, their price comes out to $83.51. Umm, and we've got them on pre-order for $79.99 and we're in the U.S. so you're gonna pay even less shipping and not have to worry about getting a defective one, 'cause if you did, we'd take care of it for ya.
So my recommendation would be to pre-order and support your MW retailer. Buy it from us, buy it from Kev or any of the other great retailers here, but overall, my recommendation is to get your pre-order in because although they are not 'limited', overall demand naturally makes them limited.
That sounds great.... except us foreigners have one heck of a time putting the billing address down.... that even when retailers take foreign credit cards.
Ahh, that's why we have a "Comments" field during checkout so that you can put in the complete address to your heart's content
lol. The only reason why I like hlj is because all they ask is for the shipping address.... no billing or anything. I never understood why they could do that while most other e-tailers had to ask for billing address.
Umm, well, in the U.S., when you process a credit card, you verify the card by matching it with the billing address. The credit card processor will tell you if it's a match. And many people have different billing addresses (such as a P.O. Box) than their shipping address (such as their work address, etc.)
Also, some customers purchase items as a gift and want it shipped to someone else. I have no idea why HLJ doesn't ask for a billing and shipping address. But hey, they're in Japan, I don't know how things work there.
I see. Oh well.... by the time the Hikaru 1s comes out... I will give my card a try with one of MW e-tailers.
I just had to keep this going.....
Lol. It's like when you plug a camera into the TV and then point it at said TV.

Wait a minute, I didn't see a "ALL OF THE ABOVE" option!
I get them everywhere, from Ebay to MW members, a local Houston store called Dave's World, to BBTS, and lately Kevin's V-E.

I also like the background in the third picture. All the Bandai looking over in an almost arrogant way. I can almost hear them says: "Who do those Yamatows think they are?"
That's why I'm not selling my 1/60, they're simply great!
Thank God I didn't sell them.

I like my YF-21FP for the most part. I didn't like the drag racer look it had in fighter with the Fast Packs on, so I just took them off.
Same here!

I ordered two from Kevin @ V-E, and I'm thinking about ordering on emore for my low-vis. It's good they're late, because my wallet got a serious hit last month. I also bought one of those tooth brushes that brush at 37,000rpm(Ibelieve), and that set me back even more. Now brushing is fun and educational
I really want three sets, Lets see if Kevin do a Credit program for long term MW members

My low-vis Has paint smudges on the right side of the cockpit, and the antenae on the back pack has a stress mark right off the box. Also, my friend's 1S 1/48 has that beauty mark on the right side of the head.
