That's incredibly depressing.

I'm basing my anger on the fact that the order pages said "available soon" or some BS like that and then like an hour later it just said sold out on all of them.

They're still saying "On Sale Soon" for me.

They'll pobably truly open at 3 AM EST like normal.

Look again, every listing is back to "On sale soon" and I presume back on track for 4pm. :)

Den-O was right, they had changed to "Sold Out", I assume either an error or orders went up on Japanese AmiAmi and sold out.

I'm staying up for this. I wiill NOT miss Den-O and Blade. Just gonna have to to marathon some Gaoranger to pass the time :D

It's a shame that is how they are selling them. I would have bought them if they came in packs of 3 like the regular stages do.

The "on sale soon" thing is AmiAmi's new deal with Bandai preorders. I think they were sick of everyone refreshing their homepage for hours the night of preorders. Iron Man and War Machine SHF had the same notices - they went for sale right when they said. Prepare for the site to get hammered in an hour though.

I'm skipping the preorders on everything but X and Kabuto. Since these stands are likely going to be separate from the boxes I predict a lot of people in Japan buying all 5 and flipping their Flame Dragons on Mandarake.

Must've just missed it.

About the time, though - I'd been told before that it was 3 AM EST that preorders opened. 4 PM in Japan is 2 AM here though...

That might explain some missed preorders...

It's usually 3am, they're early tonight. Probably because it's Friday and they want to go home early.

I was about to ask someone to camp a Blade stand for me and pay them back, but then I remembered AmiAmi has a 1 figure per household limit on Figuart preorders.
...Dammit. I don't like staying up late.
EDIT: Oh wait, Blade is only coming with the bike? Fuck that.
