For most people that's HLJ sadly, I consider myself lucky that that crap never happened to me. Still, I don't blame anyone for going the "safer" route with AmiAmi.

In the end what matters most are the figures anyways, not where you bought them

Honestly, AmiAmi and HLJ both have their problems, but I've been pretty much been forced to switch over most of my preorders to HLJ because the EMS price hike plus AmiAmis tendency to over pack boxes was getting a bit out of hand and 6-9k shipping really is not fun. With that said, I can't think of another store thats fucked me over as many time as HLJ. Like ignoring the unfulfilled preorders, they've already somehow lost items in my private warehouse twice in the past year. Items I already PAID for.

They definitely ship out slower than AmiAmi, and as someone that also collects Macross, SOC, and Metal Builds, the randomly putting preorders up without a set time is one of the most annoying things. You think the fight for a preorder at 3am on amiami is bad? HLJ doesn't even front page most of the stuff until its sold out, and you just have to hope you somehow are able to find the listing before everyone else. And then lets talk about how terrible HLJs website actually is, they somehow don't know how to send you a email if an order gets unfulfilled so you pretty much have to contact them if you don't get a payment request to find out. Also seriously, who limits figure stands to one? Oh thats right, HLJ does.

As you can see, I might have some issues with HLJ and Mark Kutsugi is my nemesis.
