Shukenzero Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 That's gonna be a hell of a start to the new year. Mashing F5 and staring into space when you get cart-jacked and realise this is your life every year until they decide to stop producing Macross merchandise!

spanner Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 the Bandai server will probably crash from all the F5 refresh requests before anyone has a chance to actually place their pre-order! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy's Blues Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Don't blink! Don't look away, don't turn your back, and mash that F5, but DON'T BLINK! Bandai = Weeping Angel of preorders... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saburo Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Are there any other Bandai or any Manufactures lines that consistently have PO madness where they are sold out in a matter of seconds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I actually think that's a pretty common thing with Bandai products. I've heard similar horror stories dealing with a few gundam releases, or other Bandai products in general. A lot of it just has to do with their practices in terms of production numbers, and questionable existence of re-releases. When you deal with someone as prone to flat out denying market demand as Bandai seems to be, it makes sense that all their products get scalped.

Tochiro Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Use the restroom before hand. Do not leave your computer during the pre-order time Remain awake, do not fall asleep and lastly, do not blink... because the pre-order can be gone in less than a second. Geez, and here I thought that getting my lazy butt off the sofa and strolling down the street to Akihabara to get the new bandai valks was a lot of effort Edited December 29, 2014 by Tochiro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mog_kupo Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 I haven't realized that NY has an announcement about them being closed from December 27 to January 4th, so maybe they won't be putting up the PO tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanner Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Its funny that NY specify on their website that they are closed between Dec 27 to Jan 4 as I just received an email notification that a certain item has come back into stock? unless those closure dates are for trading only?

jenius Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 It most likely means they're not shipping through those dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

technoblue Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Hey, isn't it 0300 EST to be 1600 in Japan? So for us in EST is it 2am or 3am? Japan is GMT + 9 hours. EST is GMT - 5 hours For example, now it is 2221 EST but 1221 in Japan. Us east coast folks will need a lot of caffeine for this one.
