ps99042 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Just got an email from NY with new product listings including the VF-1S. Salt on the wound... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treatment Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 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...

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. Agreed. Their new websites are bloated crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guyffon Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 and NY still not letting people in even when the madness have ended, I did not get one too, so I will be looking during release date to score one, but seeing that its when my daughter is going to be born, I doubt I will get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xrentonx Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) I'm happy with my Yammies and Arcadias. I really don't need to collect 1.48 so the scalpers can go screw themselves. Also, Bandai's loss Edited June 3, 2019 by xrentonx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasazi37 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I got cartjacked on every other major site in the time it took for HLJ's spinning wheel of death to tell me that the item in my cart was no longer available.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There wasn't a lot of uncertainty at various points of the checkout process. You end up waiting for an hour not knowing if you got it or not.

erizai Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I do really hope that the shops like HLJ, NY, AmiAmi come out a way to determine which customer is genuine. and give priority to long time customer. Since is a pre-order Bandai actually can make base on demand. why make life so difficult? They can penalize those cancel order and black list those...

orindlt Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 NY countdown finally finished to a "your order is complete". I'm speaking at a Cloud Computing conference in Tokyo in December. I think I'm going to make snarky remarks about NY, HLJ and AmiAmi and the general inability to run a website that scales to demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treatment Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 ya know? not really trying to be THAT GUY, but you guys who got it from HLJ better be prepared to get their cancellation-email shenanigans. hope they don't and that they got it all figured out, but it's been an ongoing HLJ-feature since their redesign.

Valkyrie23 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I don't remember Amazon opening up again. Usually its one and done. Some sites like amiami randomly lets out small portions. But it does not look like the case tonight so far NY will release waves at higher prices each time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
