Kanedas Bike Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Well that sucks. Glad it was super easy to get the Roy VF-1S from arcadia pre-ordered Yep! But to be fair, Bandai's HMR have been relatively easy to get, if you're patient, and really diligent. All of the items have had the orders open up at least once or twice before release, and then right around that time. But once they're released it's a crap shoot, they could be available at second-hand stores for new or used, but flip a coin to see if that'll be the case with Max. -b.

mzhao3 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Wait to see if you get the order confirmation email, if you did then you're fine, if not, then yeah, screwed. *Edit, yep, what Old Man said -b. Thanks Kanedas and Old Man - Almost freaked out for a second especially after staying up this late for it. haha. Also, I've been lurking on these forums for the past couple months and finally decided to dip in and participate. Has been great so far!

hachi Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Got one from HLJ. and now it's 'order stop'. It was gone in less than 20 minutes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big s Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Got my confirmations from cd Japan and Hlj. Looks like I'm all set. Can't wait to find out what the next po party will be for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drad Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 For all the stragglers there is still hope to order cdjapan have them available. Also anime export haven't put up their pre order Stragglers? I dunno if that's the term I'd use. More like, "people who have better things to do than sit at the computer and wait for preorders to open for a toy." I wish we didn't have to go through this crap just to get the stuff we enjoy. It's kind of a bummer to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technoblue Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I had a chance at amiami, but missed it and went with hlj. I thought I missed that one for a couple minutes because of the hang time between when I ordered and when hlj sent my confirmation e-mail. Welp...happy Friday, everyone!

treatment Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 HS seems to have had the best po-pricing at 7740y. ami and hlj are within 190y from each other. cdj's pricing seems to be the most expensive as it doesn't seem to be even discounted Wonder how much N-Y and AE will charge.

treatment Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 just noticed the Glaug went down in price by 35%. What happened? Was it not a good release? The one from Ami? That pricing is for a damaged-box variety and most likely only one available at that pricing. As such, the exchange-rate is considerably not favorable right now so you're still prolly gonna pay as much as what we paid during the Glaug pre-orders/release. If you get it at that pricing right now from the damaged-box variety, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanedas Bike Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 ^yep Had to check all of the stores to see which had that discount. Just one or a very limited number with damage to the box. I didn't buy it, so I can't say, but I no one has been really vocal about issues with the HMR Glaug. NOW - I'm off to bed -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 As such, you oughta get that damaged-box Glaug at that pricing if you don't have a Glaug, yet. "damaged box" items are usually ok.

Garfinkel Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I was busy working and completely missed the po window :-( Here is hoping there are reasonably priced Maxs available later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Ugh somehow forgot about this even though I made myself a mental note not to forget this morning. How was this preorder? It looks like it wasn't as easy as the other hi metal preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Got it from HLJ at around 12:04 PST... by the time it processed they were gone. I don't really sweat pre-ordering because they come on so often before they get released. But it's nice to have them reserved and not have to constantly check availability.

beatsing Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Megatron: That was too easy Starscream. Got Ex-S, VF-1J Max and Bozune. Got an extra Ex-S at CdJapan. Ex-s?! I missed out, cuz I was skipping Max. ugh Is this ex-s better than the MG, and the Fix Figuration? I already have both... sorry a little off topic. I'm a big fan of Ex-s, one of my all time favorites. Is it bigger than the MG? Edited July 1, 2016 by beatsing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Focker Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Max here represents my 3rd Hi-Metal VF-1. I really would like the next pre-order afterwards to be another Destroid but I'm fine if it is Milia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atreyu2112 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Got mine at CDJ at about 3:10am EST. Yes, I'm also hoping for the next PO to be another Destroid or the Queadluun Rau or other enemy mecha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's on anime-export! Go!! http://www.anime-export.com/product/32343 Looks like I got the last one at AE. I missed NY earlier. I didn't have a lot of interest in this line of toys but the opportunity to have a Max & Milia set for less than £500 (I already have a Yamato Max but not his good lady) was too much to resist. Now when's Milia going on sale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raya1823 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 AE is fine, I've ordered from their in stock items the past. I've preordered the last two Hi-Metal R VFs from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
