wm cheng Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Same here. Hlj seems to be doing something though. The page change alarm seems to go off everyday and I have it set to only look at the "order stop" text on the page. How do you set it to scan for only the "order stop" text on the page? Are you using Update Scanner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I couldn't figure out how to do it with update scanner so I used the one for chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 How do you set it to scan for only the "order stop" text on the page? Are you using Update Scanner? There is an add-on for Firefox called Alert Box we are using that scans specific text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wm cheng Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Hey is anyone still monitoring the HLJ link with AlertBox? I'm getting a timeout error; "The server at 10.10.10.103 is taking too long to respond." Edited July 12, 2012 by wm cheng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hey is anyone still monitoring the HLJ link with AlertBox? I'm getting a timeout error; "The server at 10.10.10.103 is taking too long to respond." I believe the entire HLJ site is bogged down. Could be due to the 'YF-29 VF-1S scheme' craze.

OzmaLee74 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Just got invoiced and paid for the VF-25S and F Armor parts from NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Did you pay over $400+ for the VF-25S?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzmaLee74 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 I just realized I posted in the wrong thread. =P What I meant was that I just got invoiced for the armor parts for both the VF-25S and VF-25F. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reïvaj Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Did you pay over $400+ for the VF-25S?! That's the current price. I remember it was very competitive by pre-order time, I think it wasn't more expensive than at HLJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Wooo, armor parts incoming soon then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Finally! Since I ordered both the VF-25F SP and VF-25S AP (and I don't even have an Ozma) at the same time with NY, I've been waiting a while to, at last, get these add-ons that I've already paid for when the payment request went out just before the SPs were released. I guess they'll start shipping out around the first week of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzmaLee74 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The email I received from NY said the release date was July 27 so that's when they anticipate shipping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHawk Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I just checked th NY website for the VF-25G and it did say "in Stock". I scrolled down the page further and it said "Pre-order, send September 2012". Is it possible that the "pre-order" is in stock and not the actual product?

Chronocidal Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 (edited) Wait, what? I've had this preordered with NY for a while, I wonder if they're just sending out the payment requests now. No note from them on my end, since I paid ahead. Also, youch, that was fast, order stop at HLJ already.

Limit to one per customer. Wanted to order together with another person to save shipping but can't. Was hoping HLJ stick to their 3 limit but guess perhaps Bandai not supplying as much this time.

takatoys Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 It is still available! I was going to checkout and signed in, after that it said order stop. Reloaded the page again and went back to sept. release. Right then, I got one for pre-order. Lucky to check the forum at the right moment.

mass driver Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I don't know takatoys. I got my order in after the "order stop" too. I was able to place an order too but in my order, it says "order stop" and "item not available... will charge you when item becomes available". I think we're on the wait list or something. I guess we won't know until we e-mail the order department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone might have dropped their pre-order just as you reloaded or maybe they were able to confirm a few more units. I wonder what packs they'll make available for the 25G. I'm guessing they'll do a super pack at the very least, but I hope they do a Tornado pack as I don't have one of those yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I was expecting HLJ to be able to offer more. Was shocked when the preorder closed soo fast considering it was limited to 1 per customer as well. I was lucky to get my order in. Also HLJ order now appears to go straight to your account rather than having to wait for someone to input you order into your account. If your order went through you should be able to view it as an open order now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we won't know until we e-mail the order department. If you were able to checkout and if it shows on your open order list, then you have one reserved. I really don't want this VF-25G, but it will probably take a long time before we get an Ozma reissue. So in the meantime, I will take any renewal at a decent price.

Thanks "mgmalheiros" for the heads up. By the way, how did you manage to find out about the open pre-order? It did not even show up on th HLJ front page. Is it really a hit or miss situation.
