Well then.

Was Den-O's Hana the only attempt Figuarts has made at selling a non-suited Sentai/Rider character? (Tackle, Riderman, and the broken-head Blade figures are the closest that are coming to mind.)

Well this happened

Guess I was right then. Looks like they charge on the month the pre-order deadline ends.

Do we know if this will affect everything moving forward?
Or is it just November and December?

I asked them but I cannot understand the engrish they responded with.

What did their reply say?

Seems to be the case. Some people assumed it was just for more popular items, but I just got a payment request for Cure Echo and the Precure are typically not huge sellers. And yeah, her orders close next week.

Well, guess I have to cancel half of my orders for October now because it seems like NY will charge me for Omnimon next month.

I'm sick and tired of this bullshit. We all know that this occurs because Premium Bandai changed stuff, but for Christ's sake NY fucked up completely with this. Instead of getting rid of the "Pay Later"-option immediately (which would have prevented orders over December because Web-Exclusives for January weren't announced/listed at this point) and writing one informative E-Mail to all costumers who have orders in November & December. Just telling them that they'll have to pay before the Premium Bandai order deadline for these orders instead of sending out E-Mails every month that say "Pay this stuff in one week or we'll cancel your order!" and leave figuring everything out to your customers.

Like for example, ZeoRangerV told us that he pre-ordered stuff on "Pay Later" recently. Why do they even allow that shit if they know it isn't "Pay Later" but "Pay Three Months in Advance". It seems like they do it now because Ultron has no pay later option available, but still.

Cut it immediately, write one informative E-Mail and it's done. But don't fuck around with your customers because you can't figure out the situation.

I wish I had a place that would offer Web-Exclusives at a similar price as NY, because at this point I would like to say "Screw it" and just never buy stuff there again.

Same. Gonna have to drop a lot of stuff I planned for January because I still have all my October stuff to sort out. Oh well.

I'm just relieved I never jumped on Hulkbuster in the end. Would not want that payment request showing up next month.

"We are sorry to inform that November December months will be affected, yes. Onward we will take on basis of orders received"

I asked for clarification and tried to boil it to the simple question of

"am I right to assume we will be charged for web exclusive items before their shipping months from now on?"

They never bothered to reply. This was 2 weeks ago.


If it is the case this is how it is going to be from now on, they need to inform people BEFORE they hit pay later.
