At the point I get the money, it would seem that the preorders are frozen at this moment....
The guy that JWM was having some issues with has 7 on ebay for $299.00, and I am guessing he either got the reissue, is bs'ing or saved a stock of the origional GX-04S. he wants $40.00 shipping, but if I live 1 mile away there is NO way I'm paying $40.00 for shipping. That and if the going rate is $200.00 right now, then that is what I expect to pay.

Funny Maz, how often you and I end up with the same story. Truth is, right at the time HLJ had the preorders available, my funds were UNavailable. So I had to put a hold on making the great Grendy purchase. Now the preorders are shut before I could seal the ultimate deal (as HLJ seemed to be) and I'm left praying that more will become available before the official release comes, and the greedy re-sellers decide to jack it right back up to the 4 Big Bens I've been complaining all this time about.

Ya know guys, you can cancel HLJ preorders at any time right up until they process the order when they get the item in stock. If I ever think I might want something from them that it looks like the preorders may close on soon, I put in the preorder immediately and cancel it later if I decide I don't want it. They don't charge you until they process the order and you can cancel orders easily in a few clicks via their order management system. Sorry I didn't think to mention this earlier, but keep it in mind if you find yourselves in a similar situation in the future.

REX, I hear ya ;D Hopefully the fates will be kind to us.
Ataru, thanks for the info on HLJ. I did not know that they only charged the card when the item is processed and ready to ship. I am uncomfortable with companies that charge the card and then ship the item months later.

Bumping this thread with a queston: Does anyone know of a domestic dealer who is taking pre-orders, or planning to carry the GX-04s? BBTS gave a definite maybe. I really don't want to order from Hong Kong if I can help it, although toysonline2002 is still taking orders, and I know they're cool. JWM

And bumping it again. I just e-mailed Joel at BBTS with a plea to get the GX-04S. Before, he said he wasn't sure if they were going to get it because Bandai was selling it bundled with a bunch of stuff they weren't sure would sell. I told him there was a bunch of us here jonesing for the 04S. Maybe he'll reconsider. After the experience with turd3110 I would just as soon avoid ebay if I can. I'd rather spend a few extra bucks and know for sure my order won't be messed up. JWM

I recently saw PopSalute was selling GX-04S preorders for something like $213.99 + $38 for shipping. I've never bought from them before, but I've seen them around for a long time now and the feedback given for him/them is good.

I bought a GX-02B from popsalute before and I received the item. I would recommend staying away from preorders from eBay sellers though. Wait until the item is released, since eBay/Paypal have a 30 day policy.

Hi shinn. Welcome to robot-japan. There are several ebay vendors offering pre-orders on the GX-04S. I believe toysonline2002 is also offering a pre-order. He is in Hong Kong, and I know him to be trustworthy. JWM

I just got an e-mail back from Joel at BBTS. They are going to try to get the GX-04S, but there is some problem with a reliable supply. Keep an eye out! JWM
