Nope, no email~
I don't mind anyways. It's not like it takes 2 minutes to cancel.

WoW! that was cheap! Just saw GLM Vol.8 for just 1500Yen @Mandarake. That's 750 for a figure!
eh more like 2000 with the 500 fee on top of it!

Not if you order is 5000Yen or more. I usually save things I want from different stores in case I need something to fill up my order ^^

Don't you end up paying more though since you are shipping from multiple Mandarakes?

What I mean is that I have saved stuff from multiple stores, so I can put things from the same store together if I can't get to 5000Yen with the newest offer. ^^

I see, I try to do the same. I saw that GLM Vol.8 go up and had another item I wanted from Sapporo but they did not have a picture at the time and sometimes their descriptions can be screwy using the Bing site translator so I was waiting to see the pic to make sure it was for 2 figures but by then it was gone. Does anyone know which of the Mandarake stores is supposed to be the one to avoid because their shipping charges end up being more then they should be? I remember reading about one of the locations being bad but cannot remember which one it was.
I have ordered only from Shibuya & Nakano so far. Can't complain about both.
It would be great if you could search by store for Mandarake, it would make it so much easier. I also noticed that even ordering an item right as it pops up on the site still does not mean you will get it as they have canceled a few of my items recently that seemed more like price mistake cancellations due to how fast they emailed back that cancellation notice.

You can select the store on the left side ^^ (maybe that works for you?)
The good thing is that if they cancel some items and you are not at 5000Yen or above anymore they won't charge you the 500Yen fee.

Thanks, I never noticed that drop down menu. They have on occasion still added that extra fee when some of my stuff gets canceled but I usually find a few more items by then and just try to get them to add those to the existing order within the 5 days.
I also am still dealing with the Mandarake Shibuya store going on 2 months now for a poorly packed item that never arrived. I only received the packing slip with my address as it looks like they did not seal the plastic shipping envelope with the paperwork inside. Their tracking shows it has not been delivered and the US Post Office shows it has not even left Japan so that is kind of annoying that it is taking so long as now the item that got lost is much harder to find.
dang thats crazy :-/
Due to an error at HLJ they've booked me down for 5 Robins and 5 Choppers Figuarts. So if anyone needs them both still give me a shout. As much as I love them I don't need 6 of each XD I can just cancel but seems pointless. Might aswell throw the offer out. (obviously I'll give priority to those who need both)
I still need them both, if you can change the shipping to my place. I know technically you can still preorder Chopper, but I wanted to combine shipping, and FAZ haven't been too difficult to get so far. So, I was waiting until preorders came back up or until the figures were released.
oh yea owen, just cleared my inbox!
@Owen:
Your PM box is full. Trying to contact you about the sales.
anyone here remembers how much they paid for shipping for Teach P.O.P.?

oh cool! Thanks! Haven't found that link.
Guess I wait for him to be re-released then ^^
Hmmm the forums is quiet these days.
Anyway my local distributor has open preorder for POP Akainu and SW Nico Robin.
So its confirm. These 2 will up for preorder tomorrow.
Damn. This'll be good. Barely any sleep (why do I always get no sleep on nights of big pre-orders?)
Ok. What time are people expecting amiami to go down so we miss the pre-orders? 15 mins prior?
Are these new pre-orders in an hour or so? Just making sure I have factored in the right time difference.

As of this post, 2 hours and 9 minutes more to wait.
That is correct.
Cool. You're in the same time zone as quite a few others. I'm in the Eastern Time Zone, however.

I know that. I meant that I'm in the Eastern Time Zone, unlike Owen. I guess I worded that weirdly.
looks like amiami is down. Tried to pre-order One Piece Gigant Battle 2 and all I get is:
[h=1]Bad Request[/h] Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
whenever I click on checkout. So sounds like a normal day from them.

I just checked and it is already showing sold out for me.
regular edition is showing up as in-stock for me.
Sorry I was talking about the limited one with the figure.
tried it on a few other items. Same thing. So looks like amiami is resuming their usual service of being down for pre-orders.
but isn't that only a special color version? You can still get the "regular" version?
meh … sold out

Hmm where is the best place to pre-order Akainu? Amiami or hobbysearch?

Where you can actually get him is the best place XD
Haha okay, guess I hope I get him =p
amiami down already… WTF? 10 minutes to pre-order time
Just noticed that too.

That's normal for amiami tho. Everytime there's an important pre-order they go down. Then will come back up once the pre-orders are gone.
Yeah XD. Pretty much hopeless. Still peeps here that are trying to get him despite his "awesome" face XD
okay I guess it has begun 0.0
seems to be back online
I'm gonna point out that amiami is actually up for me.
Watch as a POP is easier to get than Figuarts RoCho

Figuarts Robin/Chopper wasn't that hard to get for me though. Had a chance at all my shops (7 on my list) to get them before actually sold out on pre-order.
Even if sold out I guess they will have plenty on stock when they are released.
Maybe after the very nasty email I sent them after the figuarts they panicked and allowed me to go on XD
I got my game pre-ordered eventually btw.
And yeah. I ended up with about 5 pre-orders for RoCho in the end XD But they were harder to pre-order than any POP was. I recall ordering Sabo about 8 hours after he was put up lol. Although RoCho was harder due to me wanting them together.
Amiami must not want me to use them as the site is still down for me.
