Makes me feel that the VF-1 Strike Parts are going to be really bad too.  when does that go on sale again?

They are TWE; PO madness not included

[todd77]

I think I got one at NY. After clicking on the Pay Later link, I got kicked out to the waiting area. But I got a pre-order pay later confirmation email from them. Does this mean my order got through? Still at waiting area...

Thanks, hope you got one too!!....meanwhile...the wheel is still spinning @ hlj

[jenius]

I think it will be in stores before I even see the NY home page.

[Guyffon]

Bandai should just re-release this item in a month to burn all the scalpers like what they did for the eva-01

Same, have yet to see that site a single time tonight.  Just a blank screen.

[mog_kupo]

Cant belive the page on HLJ, the figures appeared on the search results but you couldnt get to the individual pages without gettin a Page not found error, and this was on at least 3 items

 

They really need to step up

[Alko]

Hopefully they could fulfilled my order.

I should have left my Max 1A in my cart at HLJ just as memoirs to my failures.

Got to the end of N-Y checkout - "Unfortunately, a product is no longer available"

Same here.

[orindlt]

I did get the confo email, so I guess that it went through at NY (or at least that they processed my payment)

 

[vt102]

Does anyone know if I'm screwed? It shows one on my cart, but can't check out?

I really don't want to think of what the Roy release will be like. Hopefully by the time we get there, people will have cooled somewhat on the 1/48 DXs... Well, I can hope at least.

I gave up at HLJ. It spun until I couldn't take it anymore and I hit refresh and it was over.

Has Amazon posted all I see are third party

[Alphahorizon]

Odd thing...I'm not even surprised or mad. I am truly happy for those here who did get one! Congrats

[Roy Focker]

I guess I don't get one.

So what happens now?   Those of who didn't get one will now order multiples of the Strike Packs in hope we trade them with those who got doubles?

yeah, that's where I am too... screwed

[gochow]

The HLJ wheel was spinning for over 30 minutes, finally gave up and refreshed...item in cart is no longer available. If you can, keep waiting for that wheel to stop!

I'm scared to do anything... Still hoping.

[mog_kupo]

Im just waiting on NY damn ticket system to see if by any miracle my order went trough

[erizai]

WTF....... &@#^**^P*#

[Sandman]

frakk this crap. This is the third preorder in the row i've come out with nothing. I've been collecting since 2007 and i've never had this hard of a time getting a preorder, even during the frontier years.  In fact i usually managed to get 2 or 3 copies. Ever since amiami and hlj went to their "improved" websites i haven't been able to get anything. Not one successful preorder. I will not pay scalper prices. This is a great way to get me out of the hobby.

cart jacked everywhere.  HS amiami AJ doesn't ship CDJ AE HLJ.  Got it in the cart.  jacked.

HLJ actually hit place order button but spinning wheel.

preorder frustration

It's where I ended. And got cart jacked at AE and CDJ.

Extremely pissed right now!!!!

[erizai]

Bandai, why cant you make more??? upset

[ps99042]

Just got an email from NY with new product listings including the VF-1S.  Salt on the wound...

[treatment]

roflmao!

think that's the first time ever I got cart-jacked at CDJ earlier.  already at checkout and stuff, then after the circle-of-blank-page-of-wait, got the red notice that it was unable to proceed due to no more availability.

amz-jp was stupid. got it in my cart and checking out, then "does not ship to your location" crap popped up.

oh, well.

not sweating it since I already got the original yammie and the pf from arcadia that includes all FPs and missiles, but this was certainly quite an amusing experience.

just hope you guys don't buy it from the scalpers who got this and that they get stuck with it unsold.

maybe just hope Arcadia re-issue their PF to get your version of the Strike-Hikaru with all the needed parts included already...

Agreed. Their new websites are bloated crap.
