The totally botched this announcement.
BF should just have done a lottery- have to register at their page, liked their social media accts, and so forth, then just pick the 10 people (or however many units) at random and give those people the chance to buy it.
Everything about today's experience reminds me of Macross pre-order days. The least fun part of this hobby.

It's really best for Bandai to reissue this again with more stock since this is on demand item. |

They know good and well people take time out of their day to be there at a very specific time waiting. They should've immediatwly just cancelled and anounced a rescheduling instead of leaving people hanging. Bad business. |

Took my lunch break right before the given time but has been nothing but frustration. |

That really sucks man... I agree lottery system would be the best way... Less of these go to scalpers and more to real collectors!

Lol I got order confirmation email from Bluefin. Then, I was one of the unfortunate ones to get it cancelled. I was gonna make final decision to whether to keep it or sell it at same price + shipping to our community. Oh well  Got the order confirmation 2:03 PM too... literally as soon as i saw tweet. |
