Jasonc Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well, if they only get a small amount in, at least you'll be one of the first who paid. You're almost guaranteed one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah_t00t Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Few weeks ago, i guess i fell asleep, my mistake & ordered the DX VF-25G version 1 instead of version 2, i emailed them & immediately they refunded every single cent back to my paypal Edited June 24, 2012 by ah_t00t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 That's kind of why I'm not too upset that I got billed right when I preordered. If that helps me get one for sure, I'm ok with it, even if lose out on the conversion fee if they don't come through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wm cheng Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Hah! the site just updated!... damn false alarm - it says HLJ is down for mantenance... Could they be changing that web page to put up the pre-order?! - ah, just wishful thinking... the entire site is down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 (edited) I believe they're down to update their system for that new "Private Warehouse" feature they're implementing starting June 28. Edited June 28, 2012 by mechaninac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Nope, ordered a CF 1A and haven't even got the order confirmation email or payment request yet.....it's been about a half an hour now too. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Argh, I've had to turn on the update scanner because of the change to the website where they show random items at the bottom of the page now. So it goes off every few minutes. Will just have to rely on the alert box now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaninac Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) I keep reading about people visiting HLJ, but every time I try I get a 504 Gateway Time-out error. Is their maintenance truly done or is the site acting wonky and unstable, or have they changed their address from www.hlj.com? Or is it something on my end?... Edit: I guess Dobber addressed part of my problem already... Edited June 29, 2012 by mechaninac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiotheforsaken Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 According to their Facebook page, the 504 error is just due to extremely heavy site traffic. Maintenance is supposed to be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Nope, they're definitely down. Got the "Be back soon" sticky as their web page, so they're definitely down right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choiboy77 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I visited the HLJ warehouse in person about a month ago when I was in Japan and I was lucky enough to get a sneek peak of the new website! http://www.flickr.com/photos/mchoi/7261502890/in/set-72157629876335796 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacrossJunkie Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Bah, HLJ dropped the 5% discount on the VF-25G and it still hasn't been made available for pre-order yet (that I know of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zulu Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Does anybody know or have seen any mention of Bandai coming out with new fast packs for the VF-25G? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IXTL Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Does anybody know or have seen any mention of Bandai coming out with new fast packs for the VF-25G? There won't be any announcement until closer to the renewal 25G's release in September. It will inevitably be a Tamashii web shop exclusive.

Murphy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Does anybody know or have seen any mention of Bandai coming out with new fast packs for the VF-25G? No, but since bandai tamashii made the FP for the renewals, and yf-29, and 171 they probably will make them for the G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaninac Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I'd hazzard to guess that Fast Packs for the VF-25G are a sure thing. Considering the cost of having injection molds made, Bandai would be nuts not to produce them as the only change from the previously released versions is that the yellow and red bits need to be shot in blue, aside from the tampo appliqués, of course. After all, amortizing your tooling costs is part of the game, and the FPs are easy money (no additional development or tooling expenses).

MacrossJunkie Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) Is anyone still scanning HLJ for the 25G's availability? I stopped scanning about a week and a half ago (well, not stopped entirely, just stopped having it run all night). I've just assumed at this point that if they haven't opened up pre-orders by now when pretty much every other shop's pre-orders have come and gone, that they aren't planning to have any to sell.

Chronocidal Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Well, given what happened with the VF-171, they might just wait until it goes on sale officially. Apparently, HLJ opened orders for the VF-171 at release, and had a few to sell. They might do the same thing again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonc Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I keep mine running, and it only beeps if the the entire page changes, or if the availability changes. It's not a big deal at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrentonx Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I keep mine running, and it only beeps if the the entire page changes, or if the availability changes. It's not a big deal at all. 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.

Chronocidal Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 I think it's due to the way they're rearranging the site. If anything at all about that "order stop" field changes, the alarm will go off. That includes any kind of format changes (font size, color, alignment), or any change to the field itself as far as the size or where it's located. I've definitely had the alarm go off because they centered the text, or added a space between the words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
