In order to secure MP items, I am ordering 5-10 at a time
Sometimes my actual requirements are far less than that, at which point I cancel some items.

Some of the big boys in recent months have not helped - cancelling 5 MP-22 and MP-24 adds up.

I did have time this morning
Since November 2013, I have pre ordered just over 1 Million Yen worth of items (including upcoming MPs like Bee and Tracks)
I have completed purchases on 430,000 Yen and cancelled 434,000 Yen (rounded to nearest thousand). HLJ have cancelled 20,000 Yen on me
