N-Y is restricting number of visitors to their site to do shopping...think of it as lining up outside an apple store for example....

but once inside you can do the usual shopping stuff...

Except you can't search for stuff without being told to wait back outside.

Pay up front will definitely discourage scalpers though. It's 10x easier to get a no-cost PO and then get hte inflated funds to pay for it than it is to put up all the cash up front and then hope somebody buys ur inflated product.

 

One is no-risk ez cash, the other is actual skin in the game.

Agree - it's ridiculous how scalpers take advantage of the no deposit preorder at zero cost and risk, and the only investment is time (and bots to compete with live human bids, i.e. moi).

Yeah N-Y is treating search as part of the shopping activity (ie a tool/function) inside the store...know exactly what you want, search for it, and then get out!

sounds just like the soup nazi episode in seinfeld....

Woke up at 4 am for this and went though pages of shock and disappointment from the majority of folks here.  This is a bit depressing, but I though "what the heck, give it a shot"..................  ......................  ................................................. :blink:

My ticket ( what a crock or excrement) was up on N-Y and................... no VF-1A Max in their Macross page.

AE still hasn't listed it either.

So, did ANYONE actually catch a preorder? It kinda sounds like everyone got boned. This is my first rodeo, but it seems as though this is the worst anyone's ever seen 

I got a confirmation from HLJ, but have less than complete faith in it.

A few did. 

I know at least 1 did when Nin-Nin opened up their pre-order 2 hours early for a few minutes.

I think a few people here got orders in at AmiAmi and HLJ.  Not sure about CDJ.

Oh.  Yeah.

I think the KO companies will cash in, and then the scalpers will be "stuck" with their overpriced items.
