Yumcha's correct, from my experience with Nin-Nin, when they list something as "coming soon" it usually means it sold out.
I just checked my email & they sent out the preorder notice that had Zaku & RX-78 on Friday.

I'm not that invested with the GFFMC Zaku and RX but I'm thinking it would be a nice addition. Did eknight, amazon, EE, or usagundam do their pre-orders yet? I checked but haven't found anything.

No I haven't seen preo from any other stores besides BBTS.
I am having a second thoughts on Zaku though...but I am glad it's really popular.

If I don't get any, no biggie. So many pre-orders happening that I may be more selective of what to get than what I'm doing right now.

Thank you! Preordered RX-78
According to their FAQ they preauthorize a small amount to verify validity of the card but that clears after about a week.

Important note: Your credit or debit card will NOT be charged until items are ready for shipment. PayPal and Venmo are only available online and for items that are in stock, and will be charged during checkout. When entering a payment method or while placing an order, we authorize your credit or debit card for a small amount to ensure the security and validity of the card. This authorization is usually removed automatically and instantly, but may take up to a few business days. This does not mean that you have been charged or funds have been removed from your account – it simply reserves a small amount during the authorization period.

Kick ass! Thanks for posting the Entertainment Earth listing! This is the second time EE has saved me regarding a Gundam pre-order. Just received my Metal Build Crossbones from them - no issues. I thought I missed that preorder until getting in on their listing when it seemed like all hope was lost. Ditto for Zaku. Good looking out fellas! Many thanks.

Good lord, entertainment earth shipping rates are insane for european customers ! For one gffmc Zaku $219, priority shipping cost is 50% subtotal ($110 !), while EMS cost is 75% subtotal ($164 !!). Such shipment could cost even more if custom fees are applied...
That's ridiculous.
Seriously, they should simply drop international shipping instead of offering those disrespectful rates !

The NY pricing has a bit mark-up from their original price, so I didn't pick them knowing they still have it available for PO. But for non-US folks, its still a decent option, since everywhere I looked sold out, except EE and NY.

Shipping from USA to other countries are always expensive, (ALWAYS) The shipping rate would be similar if you were to order it from another USA store.

$164 for EMS? Where in EU is that going? I've shipped items that are between 5-8 lbs in boxes bigger than an MB box and I never paid that amount for EMS. Unless, that includes full insurance and duties.

Shipping from USA to other countries are always expensive, (ALWAYS) The shipping rate would be similar if you were to order it from another USA store. I agree on the fact that shipment from USA to foreigner countries is generally much more expensive than shipment from Japan to abroad. That being said, believe me : shipping rates from Entertainement Earth are way beyond the real shipping costs ! They obviously overcharge non-US customers. Moreover, I have checked their FAQs, customs fees are not included in their shipping fees. Let's compare with shipping costs for a similar product (still in GFFMC line) sold by US sellers on eBay : www.ebay.com/itm/Gundam-Unicorn-Banshee-Norn-Gundam-Fix-Figuration-Metal-Composite-Figure-NEW/291514849753?hash=item43dfa399d9:g:JLYAAOSwjVVVpDU3www.ebay.com/itm/GUNDAM-FIX-FIGURATION-METAL-COMPOSITE-RX-78-3-GUNDAM-Ver-Ka-WITH-G-FIGHTER-G-3/302537610086?hash=item4670a59366:g:-m8AAOSwH-daE7-mwww.ebay.com/itm/METAL-COMPOSITE-1011-RX-0-Unicorn-Gundam-Banshee-Bandai-Die-cast-Chogokin/361351788625?hash=item54223eb851:g:idEAAOxy63FSsT75Priority shipping cost is around $55 to $61, while EMS is $78/$85. The upcoming Zaku shouldn't be heavier than GFFMC Banshee, so we can trust those figures. So, in conclusion, Entertainment Earth has no shame to double the international shipping fees !
