does anyone has experience with nippon-yasan? I pre-ordered the green zaku as soon as the pre-order came up in december. My order says pre-order payment - OK but it isn't shipped yet. I made a ticket and they blame the Covid-19 situation and I had to choose a different shipping method (I never had an email telling me this). I also ordered a P-Bandai kit from them in november that was released in april but that one isnt shipped also. They respond very slow on my tickets and promise me to look into things but after weeks I still dont know where my orders are. Up until this year, I never had any problems with them. But they fumbled two orders of mine and had to refund me. I dunno what’s going on with them.

Spent 20 min on the AmiAmi website and it looks like I was able to secure one… I think. that's crazy, it said sold out in about 7 min. Hope you got one! I was able to get on the product page early on, but after I added it to my cart, it took forever. I just held on, avoided refreshing, went through the ordering process. Each step took 3-5 min. I got my confirmation number soon after. I honestly didn’t think I would get one.

I am guessing here that he used to be able to find pre-orders using a particular search method in HLJ but HLJ has changed the way their pre-orders can be found in searches now. I have no idea how the HLJ preorder system works. I was trying to use the Search Engine to find the Metal Build Freedom, but it never popped up. Then I saw the “Preorder” section on the home page... I’m guessing it comes up there(?).

Wondering why this line hasn't started doing build fighters and Divers since there are retools of existing pieces like the Build strike. Because build fighters are not Gundam Joke aside, I think build fighters target younger audience (8-14?) and the metal build's target audience is salary people (25-40?). The build fighter series metal build might not sell well since we (middle aged) people (excuse my assumption) don't have attachment to them. Agreed. On top of metal builds and fix figs, I also collect (and build) Gunpla, and I draw the line at Build Fighters (and Age).

wait, you can get orders in already before it starts? I think we had to wait... So that is not true? You can drop the link to proxy services (like From Japan) and they’ll order it for you when the pre-order opens. However, p-bandai only allow these services to order a limited number of these items, so when the quota is filled, they won’t let you purchase. However, there are plenty of different proxy service providers.

My Gundam pimp told me bluefin only got 200 pieces. They sold some to BBTS and also USA Gundam Store. Not sure if any other retailers got it. I’d be weary of any small North American dealers who are selling it. Note: my G-pimp wasn’t able to get any.

Seems like this time it may be only available for Japan. No pre order for other tamashii websites outside of japan I’m willing to bet a second round will pop up sooner or later. Kinda like the gunbarrel striker. If i recall, they did a second batch of that too.

Is white astrea open pre-order soon? It already opened up at Nippon Yasan. I think the p-bandai pre-order opens right now. Hope my proxy is able to score.

METAL BUILD EVA: I have to say that this is idiculous, this piece of sh... go out and in 10min was out stock, more late (1 or 2 days) the price was duplicated by the stores like nippon-yassan, from $175 to $335 and BANDAI do nothing about this situation, is an abuse😡😡😡 and is very frustrating, I have to left the collection of MB in this conditions is only posible for rich people.😲😲😲 I think it’s about being patient. I’m sure it’s going to be a big release. If you have a store that carries all the major tamashii nations releases, chances are good they’ll be getting them.
