    Keep trying... I had the same issue, but I was able to ultimately get an order in.

    Yeah, it keeps going up and down. Still easier than PO Madness nights though.

    Better make sure you only ordered 1 or your order will get cancelled.

    Got one in. That was more drama than a soap opera.

    Definitely better than DX Chogokin Veritechs. I don't think I'll try that one again.

    I've gotta say, the experience with the non-Japanese shops, especially the USA shops, is so much smoother overall.

    Everyone thank the scalpers for making these pieces more difficult to get. I think Bandai will offer a 3rd reissue on GoLion GX-71, and an eventually reissue of GX-88, if there still is a large demand.

    What a fucking nightmare.

    Finally got one. This is going to look amazing next to Go-Lion. I'm glad I didn't overpay.

    Crazy that it is still available. GOGOGOGOGO

    Yes, their Facebook warning was ominous, and seems as if they'd cancel all of your orders if you over-ordered. Yikes!

    Man, I actually got notified by BBTS that this was going live. That's a huge thank you to BBTS for the heads up. I only wish they would have notified me similarly of the Go-Lion pre-order. Makes me wonder if there is just way more demand for Go-Lion? Or if it was such a fiasco that everyone involved decided to make the Dairugger a better experience? Regardless, +1 for BBTS in my book. I've ordered a lot from them, and have always been satisfied.

    Probably still the same. This feels more of an exception rather than the norm (Macross pre-orders, etc.)
