    For what seemed to be like a split second. I tried checking out, it made me "log in" and then I got an error saying they didn't have enough to fill my order. *sigh*....

    Ha, well I was all set to go and our internet dropped out at 245am until now. Hilarious!

    Looking back over the thread it looks like it was the usual massacre.
    Congrats and sympathies to one and all!

    Guess I'll be paying the macros addict tax/fee when it comes out!

    Looooooool! Okini fell asleep. I don't see any of the regular release Bandai POs up on their website.

    One drawback for me when PO night happens is the adrenaline rush prevents me from getting sleep afterwards. My mind stays awake. :(

    Keep an eye on Okiniland...I don’t know if they ever went live. I might have missed it, though.

    So I slept on this one intentionally but it seems like thanks to AJ this one went generally better for this crowd than it could have, but after the first 7 minutes it went back to the normal. I also see prices on AJ are nearly double already.

    and Okini never actually went live with their listing. Weird.

    They probably said the hell with it. Lol! I've seen this happen before with them and what they told me is they were waiting confirmation from Bandai how many allocations they will get. So I guess it's good in a way they won't oversell if it's put up. Bad in a way that maybe they weren't allocated any?

    TV super packs with red tipped missiles. You can see the greenish color above the valk and the reds are definitely missiles.

    Well I bit at Ninnin before going to bed and again at Luna Park this morning.

    Can't believe HLJ is showing 20 per customer on product page, lol. First Walmart with the Gigawatt and then this, lol.

    Wow, that sucks. Although the likelihood that someone will buy 20 of these are less than 12 or 20 of Gigawatt. Although never know with scalpers....

    @betsuni @Los yeah I don’t care for the scalping one bit, but if you were sitting on $2500 and wanted to nearly double your money, ordering 20 VF-1S would be a pretty safe bet.

    ...and mine I used all my time tracking down DX Voltes V I missed this. Not that I have successfully grabbed a DX anyway it’s always 30 minutes of anger followed by a 33% NY mark-up. I am fully ready for it, I hope I get the opportunity.

    A few days ago there was some confusion that there were two pre-order nights listed. Is this a possibility due to that event they have going on this weekend? May explain why NY hasn't raised the price yet.
