Same here. I refuse to do business with Nippon-Yasan ever again for a few reasons, but HLJ I still constantly place orders with even with all the negativity people have towards it. I've only ever experienced one order being left unfulfilled, so I have yet to have the same problems many others have had.
HLJ did right by me for a long time, as long as I pre-ordered stuff that had small demand (virtually my entire PaSwG collection came from them). Now that I'm collecting Toku, it's much harder to get them to come through. I only use them as back-up now, if I can't get an item somewhere else. |

On the flipside, I have never had a negative experience with N-Y. Kyoryu Gold was the only widespread incident I've heard about them and I had no interest in the figure.

Ive used HLJ for Kiwami and the Gold/Silver apple locks. Hopefully G/S pulls through like Kiwami.

Heheheheh. I admit, that was my first thought too until I remembered them actually emailing people about canceled orders would represent a step forward on the "getting HLJ'd" front.

Same here. I placed my preorder the day they were put up on the site and now that order got cancelled. I placed a new one through BBTS in hopes they can actually fulfill it.

I was one of the ones who experienced the Kyoryu Gold debacle, and they either ignored my messages, took their time to respond, or gave me different information each time. Normally, neither of these issues would be enough to cause me to completely boycott a store. I might avoid using them, but I would still not have a problem with going back to them. It's their recent changed polices that finally drew the line for me. They removed their cancellation policy for orders, as it was causing their suppliers to start putting them farther and farther back in importance. I can understand this being an issue, and have no problem with changing the policy for new orders placed after the policy change. However, I had several orders placed that were made before this change. When I requested their cancellation, they told me they would not due to their new policies. When I explained my orders were placed prior to these changes, and they needed to honor their original guidelines that were agreed upon between seller and buyer, they denied me and told me this has always been their policy. I didn't bother paying for any of those orders, and, if they followed their new guidelines, my account should be banned from making future orders anyway. I've gone back to using Yokatta's services again and couldn't be happier, even with the sometimes slow communication. |

I haven't had any issues with them. And I've got quite a few orders with them right now.
Yokatta is a nice service, but their higher prices, paypal gift payment, and EMS only destroys my funds. So no thank you.

No, Amazon.
I never preordered anything from HLJ and I only go to NY for web exclusives (and they gave me such great speed with Tiger Ranger so I'm going to be paying for Shadow Chaser in the next week or so). Nevertheless, this is utter bs since I preordered him the day he went up. What is this about KyoryuGold from NY? |

Yokatta will now let you send PayPal as actually payment instead of gift money, they just turn around and invoice you the fees. Also, at least with my last order, I had options other than EMS. I don't know if they're adapting their business practices or what. I will say, they're awesome for giving you time to make a shipping decision, but the little fees add up and I ended up spending a good deal more than I had anticipated. Nice people to do business with, but cost prohibitive for anything more than last resort.

The only thing I've ever pre-ordered from HLJ was SHF Den-O Liner form, and I got that just fine. Everything else I've bougt from them was in-stock items that I got just fine. From what I've read from other who got "HLJ'd", it seems like they've got a bad habit of way over-estimating how much stock they're gonna get when it comes to pre-orders. I can understand if it was just one or two times, but how do they keep doing and not catch on that it's upsetting people?

Been fooling around with my Gaim and Baron and I love them dearly. Just two things stop them from being perfect. Gaim's Mousu Saber clip. I have to take it off, attach the saber, then reattach the whole shabang. And Baron's shoulder banana armor is a little floppy. But those are really minor complaints, really. These are farking awesome figures. Very happy I got them.
