Got both G54 and Hedorah. G54 tail was easy. Hedorah was tough. Took me a good 5 minutes to get it in there. Anyone else have trouble with Hedorah or am I just incompetent?

I also got the Holly Christmas message : KG 68 is born :D

I had to pay with Paypal because my credit card was not accepted by Ami Ami.
But this is my first purchase from them and a big one so that might explain it.

Anyway KG is about to be ship, the rest of my DAM lime up is ready to do battle.

Happy Holidays to you all.

You know what's weird? I had the same problem. I had to wait an extra day for a new invoice when I changed my payment method to paypal. But I paid for it this morning so it will be on the way soon.

Very weird. I paid with my VISA and payment confirmed the following day.

Maybe that card has issues, check it.

Too bad by the time I'll have money for Ghiddy he'll be too expensive.

Has anyone gotten any confirmation from Hobby Link yet? I know usually they are a bit slower. So alarm bells shouldn't be going off yet. Maybe they are just waiting till 30th as was planned.

Has anyone got theres or received any notice form Hobby Link about their King Ghidorah because I have gotten F**k all from them and their silly new year holidays isn't helping. No notice no nothing. What the hell is going on?
I just wish they would bloody well answer my message so I can know to give them a your cut off forever message for stuffing up and grab another before they are gone completely.
I will legit cry if they have f**ked up.

1. They're slow, and this isn't exactly a well-hidden secret.

2. If they're on holiday... doesn't matter if you call them, you won't get a response.

3. If they did the typical "HLJ took more preorders than they could fill" thing, you won't know until after the holiday.

Sit back, relax, get yourself your favorite drink, get ready to celebrate the new year, and don't use HLJ for stuff you absolutely must have next time.

Also, you sure you didn't check Private Warehouse?


Finally.... There's a report of Amiami shipping Ghidorah in... its box. Nothing else. Shipping label slapped on its box and sent overseas.

Reason why I went with them is I have never had a problem with them ever and have used them for years. I know they are a bit slower than other places (why I wanted hobby search to do this thing) but nothing like this. It says that it came in december, meaning it's already been shipped and it says discontinued on the page but my order is still placed with no confirmation or apology for not being able to fulfil my order (then I ordered early it was like 2 weeks before the preorder stopped) and I didn't use warehouse.

I'm not sure what service you got but as I have said, I have had no troubles in the past for the years I have been using them. Until this. I just don't know whats going on and thought someone here had put an order in with them and could confirm it. :'(

By the way, this was supposed to be my christmas present... been saving up for months

Going to have to pass, though. I have a pile of savings, but I really need it for something else and would end up just putting Ghidorah in storage.

Easy-to-open packaging, AmiAmi style.

Yeah, mine arrived like that. Haven't opened it yet, but I did cleanly remove the customs label. My RIC Ghidorah should arrive tomorrow.

I got an email from Amiami on 12/25/2014 for my KG. I didn't see it until today, I just paid for mine. The final price was under $326.00 via paypal. I hope it arrives safely.
