Other stop was Books Nippan on 6th. Maybe get out with a Yamato or Megazone 23 poster... Those more lucky had a ARII or IMAII model. Sry, Forgive this old timer for derailing thread I was in the Books Nippon shop on 6th around the same Macross Plus came out, they had a promotional poster on the wall with Isamu on the front, though they wouldn't sell it to me I did end buying some awesome books from them... good times!

nathans82 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 My F5 key is ready for another round. Let's see if the Mecha Gods will allow me to get a VF-1S and a GX-88 Vehicle Voltron tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggy99 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Unfortunately you cannot URL sniff HLJ PO pages because they only become active publicly when HLJ opens the PO. You can however spam the link at 1600 JST and maybe 1-5 minutes later the link will work and mad rush to attempt to check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's still better than using their disaster of a search function though. I've yet to ever find a preorder link there when it goes up.
