Man, no Morphing Brace for me! It was just one item that I submitted for shipping ahead of time! How could it have not gone through?
How does one ever trust Hobby Link Japan again? Sigh, if I had known I'd wake early and watch CSToys. I was just so confident with HLJ this time because I had only one item and submitted my request earlier than usual.

Sadly HLJ was the last resort this time . I pretty much missed out on all the pre-orders from all the major websites. I thought being more vigilant would actually help this time but I guess I was wrong. Their "submit for shipping" system is no better than waiting to pounce on pre-orders at AmiAmi or any other website. It's no pre-order at all.

Well they screwed me out of ace. I really don't understand with them waiting as long as they did I figured they knew what the shpping numbers would be. I scored a morphin brace from cstoys and had i known would have gotten ace also. Sad to say hlj isn't what it used to be. I've done business with them for years and a preorder used to mean somthing.

This is pretty much what I'm thinking right now. I've got other items on pre order and I'm considering cancelling them. Also, watch CS toys tonight about 8pm(EST). Their going to do another activation round. I'm hoping they have some more GBA to go around.

I preorderd last Friday when they first put them up and I ordered the Morphin Brace Monday. When I logged in this morning to cancel my MB order my GBA which was listed as "low stock" was changed to "discontinued" AKA "we don't know when we're getting a restock". I couldn't believe it and just cancelled both. I'll never preorder an item with them again. They've lost a customer of 6 years. Last edited by Shadow Moon; 02-26-2012 at 04:19 PM.. |

I've never had this happen to me, but it really sucks to hear all these stories about them. I'll definitely be keeping them as a last resort in future.

They have often been my first resort, since Hobby Search and AmiAmi sell out before you can blink. At least HLJ you can blink twice before the pre-orders go down
But yeah, I had my Meteor gear backordered when the initial run came out. Got it not long after though, next shipment. |

I suppose I'm quite lucky in that the US' "stay up and camp on amiami" is my "get up slightly early and camp on amiami"

Another sad thing about HobbyLink is that given how long they took to get Go-busters pre-orders up, we thought they'd fix the lack of stock issues prevalent during the Gokaiger period. Maybe they counted the stock before deciding how many pre-order slots to set up. Too bad this wasn't the case.

I did not see this message or I would have waited before ordering...but anyhow Mr S has got my business. I don't mind buying from him, his store is excellent despite the high prices.
