technoblue Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I went with an easy anime-export order after waking up this morning. Will see if I can secure another copy at ami-ami later but it isn’t a big deal if I don’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stranger Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Oh wow! I messed up on calculating the conversation time from JST to CST and slept through it. Was still able to snag one off Anime Export when I woke up. Are they pretty good on shipping prices? The shipping calculator isnt working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasazi37 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 5 hours ago, Rein+ said: Need to pay upfront, and only 1 per customer. Otherwise known as the "anti-scalper" maneuver. I've managed to get several items from them since they switched to that policy, which used to be almost impossible. Sucks to fork out the money up front, but it seems to level the playing field a bit. This time around HLJ got their posting up first, which was unusual, so I went with them. Looks like AE still has stock. They're only a few dollars more than what AmiAmi will be charging when the posting goes live later today.

Stranger Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Still available at Nin-Nin Games btw - which is weird as they are offering the cheapest price at 10% off MSRP https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/hi-metal-r/83982-hi-metal-r-the-super-dimension-fortress-macross-vf-1j-valkyrie-revival-ver-bandai-spirits-.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froy Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I'm a moron. Totally forgot we changed from summer to winter time late october and just messed the time for the preorder 😆. Came a few minutes past 1 am (Mexico city) to check and they were gone already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool! If you are still signed onto their site it will show that it is out of stock when an item has a limit of 1 and you already have a confirmed po Edited January 12 by jvmacross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Still showing in stock for me, I think AE just marks things out of stock for you if you've already reached your purchase limit. I've really come to appreciate their approach now, since their pre-pay only system seems to have really helped stave off the scalpers. I've been able to get a lot of items there after other sites get entirely hammered on pre-order night.

derex3592 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Ohhhhhh....I see! Well since I had ZERO intention of staying up last night, I'm glad I got one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just came in to thank you for the links - placed an order at AE a couple hours ago and am glad I did becuase it's now sold out (even when not logged in).  I wasn't sure if I wanted a second one (I have the original) but what the hell, new hat and all...🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh9000 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Thanks @jvmacross for the Hobby Genki link last night.  I set my alarm incorrectly but randomly woke up in the middle of the night just in time to preorder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It keeps showing 'For Sale Soon' for me even after you posted this, which made me thought they were late in opening the PO. After few more minutes it went straight to 'Pre-orders closed' lol. Edit: It shows 'For Sale Soon' if I'm logged out, and still do. Only shows its updated status when I'm logged in. What a weird behavior. No matter, already got PO yesterday.

CDJapan was much the same last night for me. It went from no listing to a sold out listing in about 2 minutes. The last few time I tried to PO through them it has been that way for me. I managed to get one from HLJ. For whatever reason I seem to have the most "available time" to order stuff with them.

I think it's showing Closed when logged in because you've already ordered your limit. My guess is that it shows For Sale Soon (before coming back up) because they may be trickling the quantities in a few at a time, to avoid having servers overloaded all at once.
