This is getting frustrating. I have no idea how HobbyLink Japan's pre-orders work. Right now there's an Order Status Check page:
I tried to submit the "Ship available items and continue to wait for others" option about 3 days ago and after a day or so, it returned me back to this page. Yet, when I did nothing last time, my item was backordered. Should I submit it a second time? I need to know this urgently because it's a Go-busters item and they're released this Saturday! Thanks!

There's no penalty to submitting it more than once. Why would you even have to ask us that?
"Oh, that button we have to ship items right away? Yeah, you can only use it once. Second time, we cancel your order entirely! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!" Also, you've blurred out the name of an item so it's not identified... except you told us it's from Go-Busters, it's in-stock Saturday, and you secured the preorder already, you just have to make sure you don't let it slip through your fingers. Biiiiiiiiiig secret, dude.

I spammed that button like crazy for my figuarts Gokai Blue and Green orders.

You only have ONE item ordered, chances are you'll get it! It's when you pre-order more than one item on the same order that HLJ screws you over.
So yes, your Morphin Brace will be shipped, have some patience, HLJ can take a while to process pre-orders, pressing that ship now button means nothing on a pre-order. |

preorders on hlj do not guarantee you an item, its a first come first come first serve system that really needs to be re thought out.
Only having one item does make it likely that you'll get it though. |

Right now but go-buster ace is listed as "low stock" and like CG89 my morphin brace is still listed as "order stop". I really hope its not going to be deja-vu. |

Biiiiiiiiiig secret, dude. I wasn't sure why I blurred it too, but when I realized it I was too lazy to re-upload a new screenshot. It's one of those things that happened when I was in a panic frenzy to create this thread; I also realize now the URGENT part of the title was stupid but I can't change it anymore. Got it, operation spam button like crazy. Thanks for the info guys, now I know what to do!

Sorry but they've screwed myself and others I know plenty of times who only had one order. They screwed me over last year with the Mobilerates. After a month of it being stuck in preorder limbo I was lucky to catch a restock on amiami and cancelled it.

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.

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.
