Good day to you. can someone in the US can confirm this.
I ordered the figure on my local toy store. Everything was fine then a problem came between Fewture and High-Dream. High-Dream have the right for Grendizer stuff in the US while Fewture has not. After month of fighting, High-Dream contacted me telling me that they will be the one selling Fewture stuff in the US, well Grendizer.
Yesterday my toy store called me to tell me that all Grendizer from Fewture were cancelled, at least for Canada. Since Diamond is distributing the product, I'm assuming that in the US it's cancelled too.
A guy from this very bord told us that BCBComics has the item ready to ship, while BigBadToyStore is still Pre-order, September release.
Can someone tell us if it still coming to USA/Canada, and where can it be still ordered.
Regards

^i was the one that said bcb had it in...turns out i was wrong, they just switched my order to "ready to ship" because it had been there so long and i had another item in the order.
oh well, looks like my grendy cash is going towards a vf-0a or something

Thanks for the update. My local toy store said it was cancelled, then after searching the web I find a page at Diamond in PDF and it was stated as Cancelled by Previews.
If I'm to import the guys it's gonna be expensive!

It was way cheaper here in the US when you see the market price in Asia. I'm still trying to find answer if it's cancelled or not. Hopefully a few will be able to reach our continent.

Hehe! Glad to see I'm not the only one... Everytime I read "Fewture Grendizer", I see an EX Gokin Grendizer. ;D Too bad the master who made these gorgeous piece of diecast and plastic isn't with us anymore. Maybe someone else could design one, but with Sato behind it, chances are it would have been a sure hit. Sorry if that's slightly off-topic. I'm done.

yea, it would be cool if they took his designs and made at least one more commemorative fig ...a grendy or a dragun would be rad.

BBTS did confirm that Grendizer was cancelled. Well must import it now, that will be expensive.

Well it mey be not over. I was told that High-Dream now have legal right to distribute Fewture Model Grendizer, due to legal proble between the two. It may have been cancelled by High-Dream, but High-Dream may find another distributor.
Hope it comes here!

anyone else had trouble cancelling their preorder from BCB? I've emailed em twice already in the last few weeks, and haven't heard back yet. They withdrew the cash months ago from my Paypal account for the preorder (which, I've gotta say, I'm a bit surprised at), and I wants it back

Let us know, it will tell us how the serious this shop is. Two shops in Montreal call me to confirm and High Dream email me to confirm the cancellation. So you must be refunded, unless they have information that they are still going to receive it. If this is the case, let us know also.

yea, i'll email them again today....and pretty much demand a response. They were always good at getting back to me before when i had questions (always within 24 hours), so this is a little disconcerting

My order was successfully cancelled at BCB Comics. I traded a few emails with an employee there by the name of Keith Patrick, and I believe their store was closed for a while when they were moving to a bigger space. He posts on ToyBoxDX occasionally and said refunds were no problem.

I just bought one on Yahoo Japan, I won the item priced at 25800Y, so about 230 US, which is a good price.
