EE just shot me an email saying the inventory is damaged and while they wait for a possible new batch they will cancel my ordeR.....sad.
I asked them for description of the damage and asked for a further discount if it was a Landfill bound. As long as its not water, smoke, freez, or fire damaged...id be happy if its just missing pieces. Id be ecstatic if its just a packaging damage as i dont give 2 cents about that.

EE emailed back saying they dont discuss the description of the damage incurred. And also it will be returned to manufacturer for a refund. They say the manufacturer didnt take it off the market, so therere still a chance that they may get restock.
I respect that. It was an impulse buy anyway. That 157 will go towards DX Great Mazinger fund.

Sounds good. Yeah. EE sent another email apoligizing for the inconvinience and told me The manufacture wont be releasing it.
So fyi, if anyone is interested in CMS / yamato/arcadia/ Jeeg...dont miss this boat if you really want one..... Once its gone, then we dont know when it will comeback.

So fyi, if anyone is interested in CMS / yamato/arcadia/ Jeeg...dont miss this boat if you really want one..... Once its gone, then we dont know when it will comeback. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is a common Asian Importer/Exporter semi-scam. Well scam might be a bit too harsh. They don't actually rob you. What they do is advertise for sale product that they do not in fact have as of yet, and are gambling that they can get quickly. When they suddenly can't get it you get the mysterious e-mail "oh the tracking shows its lost" "Oh the product is damaged" etc. They then issue a refund. Here's what is going on. Look on Amazon for a Gokin. Then check the full list of those available. Note all the ones that say "Ship from Japan" and "Product ships in 1-10 days". Yeah they are all basically simply relaying listings. They are advertising for sale in the US and Canada product that they see for sale on Asian Auction sites such as AliBaba. So you may have several supposed merchants on Amazon or E-Bay or similar all advertising the same single piece for sale. None of them have bought it yet. None of them have any claim to it. None are even making an attempt to get it until they receive your payment. They are essentially Asian Auction Brokers. They typically do not carry any inventory themselves, and they never ever disclose how they do business. As I said it really isn't a scam. There is limited risk to you, especially if you are going through a safe third party such as Amazon or E-bay/Paypal. The merchants I have encountered do quickly and immediately refund your payment once they are unable to fullfil the order. But it is discouraging to you the consumer, and it feels extremely shady. trust me in this case EE did not recieve a damaged box or product. They never ever had it in hand. They simply did not win the auction or it went above the price you had paid them.

Ah..makes sense, that could def be the case.
But ill still give them the benefit of doubts as EEs been really good to me. Unlike AE and Evolution Toys, they responded very quickly with apology and answered all my questions.
