Alpha secured, plus SIC Drive. I got what I wanted tonight without much effort, thankfully.

Huh, just missed that. My bad.

Ordered without a hitch tonight.

For a moment, I didn't think my preorder for Alpha went through on HLJ, but just got email confirmation. Their site is having some major lag and time out issues.

HLJ is having Checkout issues. I got KR Amazon but other stuff is not going through, yet.

Yeah HLJ got some server issues apparently, first time I ever saw that. my Amazon Alpha order went through though.

This is what happens when you put valk and metal build drop on the same night. I think I got my hlj orders in, i got two emails apparently saying I double ordered but I also can't check my orders and when I placed it order, it said nothing was in my cart so I have no idea whats actually going on .

I was just able to check my pending orders and Alpha is there. So that along with email is a relief. Only went with HLJ because I got Omega through them as well, might end up shipping them together to save some cost.

28 minutes of this nonsense....


3:50 AM order has finally been completed, I very seriously considered going back to sleep.

Here's how the last 15 minutes played out...

Discovered that Amazon Alpha had already gone up for preorder overnight.
Panicked.
Logged on to AmiAmi.
Panic confirmed -- I missed the Alpha pre-order window at AmiAmi.
Freaked out for 2 minutes.
Went to HLJ.
Found the preorder.
Rejoiced.
Ordered.
Didn't get an order confirmation AND couldn't log into my newly created account.
Freaked out again.
Got email confirmation.
Threw a parade.

What a stressful saga. :lol

Belatedly got to some Figuarts that came in.

Ghostriker is...a bike. I like the matte black that's used, and think it could've really popped with different colors over orange and a muted clear green. Like with most things related to this series, Specter-related stuff (Machine Hoodie) looks more interesting to me than Ghost stuff.

Bikel is solid and goes nicely with Fire. The visor is a little loose on mine though.

Lord Baron is as detailed in-hand as its looked in pics. Despite the skirts hindering posability, he turned out nicely. I wish we'd get more Gaim Riders/suits announced with this latest one out.
