Bad news. I went to order the set from HLJ, since tomorrow was the last day to pre-order, and they're already not excepting any more preorders, listing it as an "Order Stop" which states:
[SIZE=-1]This is a new item that has not yet been released by the manufacturer. We have already taken all the orders we expect to be able to fill. No further orders will be accepted until supplies are confirmed when the product is released.[/SIZE]
I went to the next cheapest site (see my post above), otacute.com, and they also stopped taking preorders.
I then went to the next site, Hobby Search (1999.co.jpm), and was luckily able to reserve one through there, currently listed with an exchange rate of $153. In the order confirmation I received, they say:
"you need to make the payment within three days of receiving the "PayPal Payment Request" email from us. In the case of already-released items, we will send the "PayPal Payment Request" email a couple of days after the order is placed.In the case of pre-order items, we will send the "PayPal Payment Request" after the release of the item."
I know most everybody here thinks highly of hlj. Don't know if anyone has experience with this Hobby Search or not. Hopefully, they're a good site to get stuff from.
So if anyone else is thinking about getting in on this, hop to it. But geez, you'd think if there's THAT much of a demand for the spinner (as you can get the Blu-Ray anywhere), someone would see the value in mass-producing one. Oh well.
For what it's worth,
Chris
