I was able to get one in after refreshing the page for about 20 minutes

I am considering myself insanely lucky that, yes, I did somehow manage to get an order on AmiAmi just now during the seriously couple seconds they sporadically enabled the pre-order button. That was just atrocious.

Not sure if it was OOO's popularity or one of the other releases tonight (really doubt it was Broly, only one I was somewhat interested in, but was having the same issues), but wow. This reminded me a whole lot of when I first started collecting and in the worst way possible.

Wonder if the other sites will be just as bad tonight.

I think it was OOO. Broly was still up for a while and the Ultraman stuff is still up as I type this.

I missed it. HLJ has it up but can't preorder it

Give it another try. I was able to get to checkout as a test just now.

Link for reference.

All good I got it. Just waiting for conformation email

I got it on HLJ. I was lucky enough to think of doing a manual search within a couple minutes of it going up, since they never put it on the main page. It took a while though, probably because they were getting blasted with orders, but each step of the ordering process took nearly a minute to process.

Managed to get one on HLJ. Amiami’s were gone before I knew it and N-Y have this weird new queuing system to even get into their website (anyone else noticed this?). Saw I was like 400th in the queue and just gave up.

But yeah, between this and the Endgame drop I’m getting horrible flashbacks to Tamashii drops circa 6-7 years ago.

I did notice it and I faired similarly - ended at 230 and never progressed.

They had this before though, they did a "no shipping fees"-promotion like 2 months ago or something, that’s when I first saw it. It actually worked that time though.

The N-Y queue thing was weird. But once I got in, as long as the page didn't idle, I could just stay in until they finally put the figure up for order.

Now, if only Bandai would release the Ridevendor in bike mode.
