Bought VF-22s M&M. Hopefuly I didn't fubar anything since I got a gateway error twice and only worked the third time. Did inform the CS though.

It's more like desperately trying not to buy a lot of yamato models and go down the slippery slope of collecting. Given the price even 5% discount adds up to something.

Actually the pic on the HLJ site says the sale ends 6pm japanese time on april 8th. Hope that helps. Man, I was so set on getting the 1/48 VF-1J but now I'm heavily leaning on getting VF-22 Millia. Actually, I'm all set on getting Millia but it just doesn't feel right getting Millia without Max. The only thing that bugs the cheapskate that I am, is that Millia is 65% and Max is 60%. Previously they went for 50% off if I'm not mistaken. I'm kinda wondering if this means next sale Max might be 65% off? Any clues from the more experienced frugal shoppers?

Tempted to get at least Millia at that sale. Was wondering is there a difference between the DYRL 1/60s: http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00098 and http://www.hlj.com/product/YMT00209

Maybe they just got a notice to take it down.

Which I already posted back on the 1st page thanks for reading I think I'll e-mail them and check if I can use my creditcard to order to a japanese address.

First pressing has extras... you can check on cdjapan what those are. And damn it, the extras are random for vol.1 you get one of two illustrations, maybe this is a sign I should get the dvd release as well (plus covers are bigger :/ ) Seems there's also a store exclusive 'zentradi' cover I think, reversible with the normal cover on the back: http://www.dot-anime.com/feature/035.html I added some picture I grabbed from yahoo auctions.

HMV uses what most jp. stores use, EMS and that's pretty fast, I'd say you'll get your item in less than a week for sure. Amazon.jp ships whatever they have in stock, so if you have more than one item ordered, they might run out of first pressing editions before your order ships. HMV allocates the item to your order, so if you preorder soon enough, you'll definetly get first pressing regardless of when your order ships. Also you can contact their customer support to confirm you'll be getting the first pressing (CDJ displays if you have the 1st press ordered, but they're quite a bit more expensive).
