Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) Wow! I checked after I placed my order and it was still available. Bandai really is sitting on a gold mine here. Chris Edited February 7, 2012 by Dobber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1tokiri Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks for the heads up! Pre-ordered! Chris HLJ normally gives an order notification, don't they? I didn't receive one, did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hmm, you're correct. They normally send the order aknolwledemnet email immediately then the order confirmation later, but I didn't get either. Maybe I didn't get one after all. Chris Oh, the 29 isn't even showing on the page anymore either! Maybe that has something to do with it. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H1tokiri Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Likewise, I didn't get either email. Hmm.. Oh, the item still shows if you check the show discontinues items box.

Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Hell, I'm not even sure if I got my order in. Guess I'll drop them an email if I don't receive an order acknowledgement in a day or so. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Tried twice and got no email confirmation. What the hell. I only want one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pud333 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 If you guys successfully went through the checkout process, you should be fine. Maybe get confirmation within next few hours or by tomorrow at latest. Regardless, nothing you can do about it now. Emailing them is useless if you want an immediate response. They usually respond to emails in a day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah I figured as much, but looking at their FAQ they say to email them if you got no email at all, so I sent them an email anyway. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I put my order in at 3am last night so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Still no email as of this morning though. I was up late last night and caught it just in time. 15 minutes later they took it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locidm Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I wonder if it's just a lot of scalpers out there buying all available quantities or just that the numbers are so limited that the few ppl who happened to be watching during those 15 minutes got them all....... I mean, 3AM in CA, 6AM in NY, pretty much none of us in US would be in front of the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, I was only up because of my kids, had to get my son ready for school + plus the both of them always get up early. After I get his lunch made I do a quick search. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I came home really late and dutifully checked like I've been doing since the announcement. I fear it might not have gone through though. I'm trying to get one before all the flippers do. I have no intention of selling the thing and I'll be damned to pay those prices on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
