omg… I got an order confirmation for Marco... I did not get the same message you guys got. Mine was the normal confirmation ;u; I think I actually got him! But I'll just keep my fingers crossed x3 not getting hopes up... too much.
Interesting. I was at home and immediately ordered Marco on HLJ just when they opened preorders for him, so it can't be a first comes first serve thing?…
Lol, maybe I'm no good customer to them: That time AmiAmi opened their english site, I cancelled a few things on HLJ and switched to AmiAmi instead...
I'm not getting Marco anyway so I don't care, though I feel sry for you guys who ordered Marco and/or Law with HLJ and got the same mail...
I learned my lesson and i was quite lucky yesterday,, from now on i'll make sure i know when they'll be released and some of you predicted it correctly.
any of you know about Perona and shanks SW release? i wonder if its by the end of 2011 or the summer hmm

would it be too weird to get the Ace pillow so I could wrap myself around it in my Whitebeard cosplay? xDDD man those are cute pillows
would it be too weird to get the Ace pillow so I could wrap myself around it in my Whitebeard cosplay? xDDD
Yes.
XD
I fear that my friends find out about this pillow. They've been joking about buying me something like that ever since I started collecting Aces @_@
I ordered Mihawk from Anime-Export and i would buy there again!
Received it without any dents or something and they marked the value done to 1500Yen (i didn't asked for that) lol paid no customs for it.
So i'm happy with them even if i don't like to pay upfront but for instock items they are good.
Oh and I asked amiami about the preorders and this is what they answered me:
[hide]
Thank you for your mail. Unfortunately we do not know exactly when or if we
will be able to take additional orders for the Marco POP figure. We
apologize for the recent difficulty when ordering POP figures - they have
been selling out very, very quickly - and thank you for your kind
understanding.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

lol thats brill if u do that u have to send a pic.
I really like the ace one always wanted a big pillow u can just flop on a marco one would be so cool.
Ya know im starting to think that this is turning into a very dangerous hobby if the markets gonna get even worse, i fear for my life or my nerves but oh well..
thats strange though cos more ppl i know around in the uk i think know more about bleach n naruto but OP is obviously huge i must go ot japan, i must.
guess the long wait to see who gets marco n law is gonna start :D.
amiami always sound very polite n HLJ always sounded annoyed.
They should put jinbei to sold out so customers will be swarming in to get him!
Payed for BMatch Binder and Unpainted Log Figures on AmiAmi
(why did it come to 45$?! D: Ugh)
I need to see back cover of the binder so bad!
Now if only Otacute could send me payment request for RED Nami - my life would have been complete. But I doubt they will get it sooner then in a week's time.

Otacute only accepts paypal right? I usually pay with credit card though…

Card holder : http://www.amiami.jp/shop/?set=english&vgForm=ProductInfo&sku=CGD2-02058&template=default/product/e_display.html
How many cards held in a binder ?
No. I belive they had more options.
Amiami only accpets PayPal, not Otacute.
Bery Match Binder is official binder for cards.
I need the back-coveeeeeeeeeeeer~
Redon, dear, I know you have it >_>
1 binder has 10 sheets with 4 slots in to put cards in.
If you put one card in slot, you get 40 cards.
If you put two ards in 1 slot, facing different sides, then 80.
But you can add sheets into them (if you can find them the same size, heh)
Otacute only accepts paypal right? I usually pay with credit card though…
They accept both.
You can preorder them again.
Thanks, and HS and otacute put them up too, so problem solved. But why did those Calendars get back, but not the new POPs? T_T

You (luckily) received it without the dents, but I understand that you got the "extra tight box" (mentioned some time before) without the bubble wrap?
Did anyone maybe tried asking AE to put some bubble wrap? Cause like 1 in 5 boxes that I receive are kind of crashed/squashed a bit… Wouldn't want that to happen to poor (and expensive) POPs...

Law and Marco pre-orders @ archonia.com
DAMN EXPENSIVE (85 euro a piece) but cheapass shipping (if you're in Europe)
I've pre-ordered them anyway since I can always cancel them…
Can I get that German webshop Address again please?
Thanks, and HS and otacute put them up too, so problem solved. But why did those Calendars get back, but not the new POPs? T_T
Because the calendar is by Ensky, not MegaHouse, and they're entirely different products.

I should get POP Ace by the end of this month from AE and i don't want that to happen which is why i've been worried for a while =_= , i'm getting Garp from them as well… looks like i'll do what you're asking for and send them an email, i'll let you know how it goes ><

Serious? Can i be a reseller at amazon JP too?
I've heard that the recent POP scare is also due to the lack of "jap" ver POP. There will be a stricter license control on megahouse to issue lesser "jap" ver compared to the international version. That is why the decrease in quantity.
Dunno how true this is…. Zzzz
Why make it so hard for us. :(

This is true, just got word from one of my most trusted sources with regards to the market in japan. Here goes:
! Hello,
! Finally some news on One Piece P.O.P,
Well, as what we had predicted, there are license problems within Megahouse Japan.
Megahouse Japan are not allow to sell to oversea and
they believe that most of the quantity of these products are sure to be sold to overseas.
That is why, we see these products all sold out in most(all) of the websites.
We are still able to get a very small quantity of Japan Stock for Pre-orders,
and they will be super pricy.
! Therefore, we have no choice but to introduce all One Piece fans, Asia stock of P.O.P.
The Product is around in same quality!(think so?) except a silver Toei Seal. ^^
But the price is rather cheap.
So I guess I'll be sticking by my preorder with Otacute… this guy also opened preorders for Banpresto brotherhood and Girls Snap Collection. And there's WCF vol. 0 too, I'm not sure if I want it though... is it supposed to be limited?
@Alina, I have a spare BB strap from the Marine Ford part 2 strap set. Do you want?
Yes please! u
I have the set ordered from HLJ, but they can always HLJ' me and I'll be left with nothing :/
<3 Thanks!

It's the same quality for sure. All Made in China. >.<
Dun think they are stupid enough to make sure one is of a lesser quality and source for another factory/ scupltor or whatever… (Got to pacify myself)... Just to see a difference...
That's both crazy and stupid lol, who on earth would pay 24,800 yen for each figure? There's bound to be more preorder opportunities for these 2 lol…
Not stupid at all. Do you understand how different the Japanese market is in terms of buying novelty items? There is without a doubt a lot of people that would pay that. And no, there won't be any more pre-order opportunities. There's a solid closure on all pre-orders for them everywhere.
Look, there's no "Waiting List" or "Temporarily Sold Out", it's just a solid sold out and completely closed on reservations.

Ahh since you're from Singapore, I can tell you that the message was gotten from Candytoyo. They're the site I trust the most so far…
Hm I don't really know if there's difference in quality and I don't think so either, but then what exactly is the difference between Japan stocks and internatinoal stocks then? Or is everything just psychological?

Um I'm sorry, what? Didn't really get that, what do you mean when you said Japanese market is different when it comes to buying novelty items?
If there won't be anymore preorder opportunities then this is getting really confusing (at least for me) pre-orders were constantly open for items labelled as "Limited" like the Nami (and for some sites, Boa), while those that aren't (Like Blackbeard, 2nd release Boa, and now these 3) aren't getting more pre-orders and are selling like mad? Don't really get the logic there…

Don't quote me on this but I think it's the quality assurance that's different. I think the Silver TOEI is if it was inspected in HK and approved, while the Gold TOEI is inspected in Japan. I'm assuming the HK QA has lower standards and passes by more of the slightly botched units while the Japan QA is more specific.
I honestly don't give a damn if my box has golden, silver or funimation sticker. Figure inside is the same. It's just a sticker.

You order from him? That's cool.
There is indeed pros and cons about this. Think I'll just get international ver from now on… Save at least 30-40% more... Zzz
Heresay again! It's just the stickers. They had the products shipped back to japan only to paste the bloody stickers and distribute to the wholesalers/ distributers. Like for Singapore, ToysNToys is the distributor so most probably the POP distributed by them will have TnT's stickers soon, just like Funimation, AAA, etc..

Also, THANK GOD WB and Luffy don't come out until the 28th xD I'll have x-mas money by then u YES YES GOOD GOOD.
It was a seperate e-mail. I'd check the spam folder, that's where mine was lol.
Alright, all this "limited to Japan" stuff and the recent limited quantities of Marco and Law has put me into "serious business" mode. I'll now be camping both sites for OP pre-orders for all future figures (especially Perona). Thankfully for me, they tend to post OP pre-orders on the major sites a few hours before I go to bed. :ninja:
I'll just start putting my extra pre-orders in on american sites.

Is pretty old, but still cool. One Piece Domino's pizza box!
WOW, OP is becoming so limited inside Japan. Japan doesn't want to share? LOL
I guess they're setting aside different stock to send overseas, is that it? And the game prizes, too, but those are going to be worse? What a headache this is turning into. I agree with bran-chan, mayhaps it's time to turn my orders onto american soil.
So we're all sitting here wondering if something has changed and thinking that preorders will go back up as usual, but they won't? Is this a real and permanent change that Megahouse has made? I have e-mailed NCSX to ask what POPs they'll be stocking, I may be able to get a few for members here in the USA at wholesale, but not too many. I really don't have time to run a side business or anything XD
That's typical japanese disrimination for you… Instead of just making more they make it harder for foreigners to get it.
But what do I care, I have a archonia pre-order going on and I can always change my order once they release.
But I'm feeling less and less for Megahouse.
