I have got same once, but got 2 shipping notice. ANd got 1 item.. so it´s a bug.

icel

Yeah thought so, even if they did that mistake i think they would have noticed. "Why is this person ordering so many Zoros?!?!" lol.

Blacksmith

Happened to me too once.
They send 4 shipping notices.
But they all have the same order no and tracking no.
So yeah, it was just a bug for me.

But hell, who knows. Maybe you'll get 4 :P

Burglar Cat

I want a Shirahoshi P.O.P so badly, but of all things this Wednesday I have to be in university and write exams… I won't even have a chance to secure me one.

Therefore I wanted to ask, if anybody here would please help me out and take part in my place/for me too?

That would be awesome (I know theres no 100% guarantee to get a preorder in anyways, but at least I'd have a chance too)

keithgator

Yea me too, I need someone to help me out with the Shirahoshi pre-order as I'll be in camp… :(

Raithos

I'm already trying to get one for a friend, but we'll pass the word around in IRC and see if we can't help you guys out. You may want to PM the "Chosen One" Simplystyx with your login info so he can get one for you at amiami

bran-chan

As long as it's on your own account Burglar Cat I'm sure no one will have a problem getting you one. But as you didn't pay for the ones sensui had on hold for you and he had to pay for those two himself I won't do it. With Shirahoshi's price I can't afford to have someone back out and leave me hanging.

TimeSkipLuffy

I wonder if WCF Vol.23 will be hard to get because it contains the Mugiwara Crew partly. There seems a high demand for them at the moment <.<

Have yet to see this one go up for sale at all. But I hope not. I need the set except for Luffy and both Franky

Then you're not up to date… I paid for both of them! I was on excursion that week and the last three days, the residence we stayed in had no internet. I know how it must have looked like, I was nervous too. At the end I had to have my mother check my e-mails and give her instruction on how to pay for them. That was horrible (she doesen't support/understand my hobby, has no PC skills and was nearly freaking out).

Though I'm sorry for the hassle it caused sensui.

And btw, nothing personal, but I think it's not ok to put someone in a bad light, especially whith superficial knowledge.

I stand corrected on the fact that you finally paid him but at my last knowledge you hadn't paid him and like I said, Shirahoshi is too expensive to be stuck with.

I understand this, I think so too.

–--------------------------

I forgot to mention earlier, but when I was asking for help I of course meant to give, whoever would help me, my ID and password for AmiAmi, HS or HLJ. I would never ask for someone to take an order for me with his own account (I personally wouldn't do this for someone, unless I know and fully trust the person... I once did it and made a bad experience.)

Thanks for your understanding and glad we could clear this up without drama. I have no qualms in admitting when I was wrong. If you know how to get on the irc chat, pop in and drop off that info and someone will surely help you out.

keithgator

But how do you guys actually get away with doing something like that? Logging in with 1 account to order is hard enough, never mind using more than 1 account (when you're helping others to order with their account). I just don't see how it can be done, even though I know it has been done before.

With AmiAmi it often happens that only a limited amount of ppl could actually get through and order. That way there was enough time for those to login with an another account and order for others, too. Globally seen it is possible because pre-orders can start at different times. Like 10 minutes later or before or even a day later like Otacute and then have multiple pre-orders to pass on.

since it came up in the main thread here is an interview with AniMarket. Might be from interest for those who are going to pre-order from them or are thinking about it.

Hehehe, megahouse QC is really good? He needs to get wedding BOA Hancock.

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

There are sands on their paint. And try to compare megahouse with Alter or Goodsmile.But anyway, ill put my order for ben with them.

frozenkuku

does anyone has spare PA code?

Koginetsunemaru

from what it says it seems to be a good store, i took shirahoshi out there, i hope everything will be good :)

TimeSkipLuffy

I saw the Toycoin links for the new POP preorder in the links thread. The last time I ordered from Toycoin they were acting like a proxy. Meaning you need also to pay the shipping from the manufactorer to them. This could have changed though. Make sure what the final price will be. The customer service was really great nonetheless!

trc4eva

-sigh-

Zoro sailing again backorder cancelled at otacute…. =[

frozenkuku

trc4eva
tell u what
otacute backorder cancel rate is higher than 99% anyway
so don't be sad

Cyber-Robin

Weeee. Paid for my Umbrella set. Then got order confirmation for Unlimied Cruise SP is currently getting ready for dispatch. Fun fun times.

Still not sure if I want to keep the Ace or not tho XD

yeah they canceled mine too. but i'm glad since i managed to get one from the leftovers on HLJ, and Otacute would have probably banned my account if i had canceled. i'm sorry for you though. ): i think bran-chan has an order for him on HLJ she was looking to give away? might want to ask her.

It's spoken for. I should go and mark it as such.

keithgator

Otacute just sent me an email in french (I think) informing me that I they were unable to fulfill my backorder for Zoro POP. How weird.

At least you got rejected in a classy way.

benhan

Haha, my order of POP SA Zoro at Otacute was canceled too. Have been expected it though. Same case happened for Luffy and Nami.
I have to hunt for Asia version then. No chance for the japan version I guess with my limited budget.

trc4eva

everytime there is a preorder for POPs, i am always at a lesson or at work. i think i'll have to try my luck at a store in oz. or possibly wait for a re-release. oh well.

I got an email in french from them before, too. Payment request or something. And then my payment got refunded, cuz their system hadn't marked it properly or something. It was a strange situation.

Tabasco Boshi

Does anybody know if ''paypal@hlj.com'' is actually the email where I should send my money if I want to pay manually to HLJ?

Elisabeth Heart

@Tabasco:

That is correct.
Quoting one of their messages regarding that matter…@HLJ Customer Service:

To have someone else pay for the order, have them send payment for the full amount to paypal@hlj.com.
Please be sure to have them include your HLJ customer ID number and the number of the order that the payment is for in the "memo" field of the PayPal payment form.

TimeSkipLuffy

It seems Shirahoshi can be shipped via SAL?

icel

@TimeSkipLuffy:

It seems Shirahoshi can be shipped via SAL?

are you sure about that? because if it is then I'm going to preorder her.

Cyber-Robin

@TimeSkipLuffy:

probably not if you order from amiami tho

TimeSkipLuffy

@icel:

I'm not 100% sure but A-E offers her with that shipping. Her box dimension might even allow it but then with no bubble cushion at all. Possibly only the outer package and her. Nothing in between XD

–- Update From New Post Merge ---

@Cyber-Robin:

that's already given XDDD

Akatina

Amiami (unless they bought "special boxes") i think won't ship via SAL. Maybe hlj or otacute, but the box dimensions (that we can see on the flyer posted by TimeSkipLuffy in the News Thread) are odd…i don't know. Perona was bigger than that and SAL wasn't available, so it depends.

New site…old trouble...

Cyber-Robin

Amiami been up for me all the time.

No sign of them putting up the POPs tho.

Snagged Shirahoshi easily off HLJ. She went in about a minute.

Beckmann is still up tho.

Akatina

Hlj price for is too high for me, better waiting otacute.

Koginetsunemaru

i managed to go to the end of the page confirming my order goes through but i didn't received the mail confirmation yet and that stress me out ;A;
the final was so hard, the page was going slow and all, i hope it went through =_=

Will try otacute if shirahoshi can be sent via sal then otacute will be the best for her going through registered is the best and cheaper!!

saige

Got both at HLJ and managed a Shira on HS too. Wow was it so slow. Hopefully fans got their figures.

Cyber-Robin

Well I got Order Confirmations for both within minutes so you'll find out soon.

Problem I had was that HLJ kept logging me out between orders.

If Alina doesn't want my extras I'll put them up on here.

xinyingho

Cyber-Robin

I find it weird how amiami aint put them up yet. Usually they're first.

Koginetsunemaru

Amiami having trouble? i hope you guys who didn't got her at HS and HLJ got her there >_< x

Akatina

only 16% discount on Ben Beckman on amiami…things are going worst...

Cyber-Robin

They're up on amiami? Its working pretty fine for me and no sign of either.

Akatina

I can see them, but i can't enter in their pages (all is blocked).
20% on Shirahoshi…maybe they thik she will sell better.
