Well I didn't want to post it in the official thread, because I didn't want to be flamed so I'll post it here.
My LE for Espgaluda II is in preparing order at PA. Damn can't wait for a shipped status.

Go ahead and report, this thread is all about these kind of posts, so you're in the clear.

Well, they say that orders ship out on the 25th (if you ordered before the 19th, else it'll ship on the 26th), so probably before then? :P

I hope to have it shipped by tomorrow. In fact when I have preordered Metal Slug 7 for the NDS, I got it shipped 1 week before launch.

In the arcade version, if you induced enough slowdown throughout stage 4, the background music just stops until you reach the boss.

(I can't decide whether or not they should fix this...)

I have for E2 and Ketsui LE's. Got their confirmation emails, but still waiting on the one where I'll finally pay. E2 should be coming very soon naturally.

I wanted to ask about Amiami, how reliable are they?? I have preordered Ketsui and Senko Duo but I have no idea how trustworthy are they. Better than Play Asia???

I guess I should actually put my order in sometime soonish. I've been to occupied spending my tax return on other things. Whatever, I doubt they'll run out anytime soon.

This from videogameimports.com:

Possible slight delay for Espgaluda II orders...
Our suppliers dispatched Espgaluda II & Espgaluda II Limited Edition to us yesterday (22nd), but we've just received this message from them:

"We got contact from UPS that all stocks from Japan are now in Japan custom
and will be one day late because Japan custom has new policy for exporting and importing
so all fedex and UPS or DHL goods are stopped
we are really affected for this  but have no choice."


Hopefully they should have the game by the weekend. Maybe this will apply to other sellers.

Just got their payment email about 3 hours ago. Make sure to put your order ID in the subject field when making your payment in paypal (where the "You've got money!" is by default). Hope they send a tracking # as well.

So people come and post about pre-orders in the pre-order specific thread and that is wrong how? Take your 8 year old humor to GameFaqs where it belongs.
