NSEW has kicked off offline pre-orders with a daily cap of 270 units. Surprisingly, when I arrived right after opening today, only about ten people were queuing up—I snagged one effortlessly [party R] (Note: Only June 6+ orders available, and proxy pickup is allowed).
Meanwhile, 7-Eleven rolled out online pre-sales, but they’re strictly credit card payments + in-store pickup (June 5 slots open).
Judging by the scene, inventory seems plentiful—I’m buzzing with excitement for my new gadget [party R]!
Pro tip: Online orders are like gold dust, particularly from stores shipping to mainland China. The fierce competition between Hong Kong and mainland shoppers might explain why—yesterday, I battled Yoho’s crashing website for a full hour without success.
But here’s the hack: Offline stores with self-pickup only? A total breeze. The queues are shockingly short. Hong Kong and Guangdong locals—just waltz in and grab your chance!

I just missed out on the offline pre-orders because I didn’t get there early enough, but it’s good to hear that the stock seems decent overall. The online option at 7-Eleven sounds like a safer bet, though having to pick it up in-store might be a bit inconvenient.

I just missed out on the offline pre-orders because I was busy that day! But it’s good to know there are still options like 7-Eleven’s online sales. Do you think the stock will last until my June 5 slot? Excited to finally get my hands on one!
