Finally an update from Toy Source after repeated e-mails that got no response (argh)...it's apparently a few days away from arriving as apparently, the shipment went to the wrong address? So, hopefully they'll get their supply and can start sending out the preorders. Good to heard that nothing bad happen to the shipment . I bet they got tons of emails asking about the preorder after BBTS started shipping out there's . Don't forget to order those WOL. ^_^

Hopefully they come through...from chatting with other collectors, I get the sense that Toysource/TFsource has flaky customer service...nowhere near par to what you get from BBTS. And I would agree given my experience trying to get an answer from the former. BBTS has generally some of the best customer service I've dealt with ever for buying toys and while their pricing is a bit on the higher side, you can't dispute how good their team is...and their packing is probably the gold-standard. With Toysource, it took me 4 e-mails to get a response...first one I sent was via their e-form on their site. A week passes...not a peep. I send them something directly from my e-mail. Nothing. Next evening, I follow-up. Nothing. Finally, I did one more via their e-form again and this time selecting feedback and stating how it's mind-blowing that 4 e-mails (3 follow-ups) later, I get nothing and it's not what they are advertising esp. when a customer is simply asking if they have an ETA on a preorder. Finally got a response 2 days ago per my post in the previous page. Man.

That's awesome news , seems like their communication and updates on hot preorder items need a slap in the face improvement. But this is not the norm. I place many preorders with them before along with items that have issues and they always take care of it . They haven't oversold on a preorder for me yet. Still not up to BBTS level yet

It's a bandai exclusive? Who will have it for sale? Nippon-yasan? What's the difference? Is it the same figure, but now with the wings of light?

The main difference is the new Marking (most noticeable is the faith decals on the wings), pretty much the same figure with the new WOL package. Yes, it's a Bandai Web exclusive so you will not see it on AmiAmi, HLJ, HobbySearch , cdjapan, etc. Nippon-yasan should have it along with biginjap and any other web stores that act like a proxy service. Pretty much they will be ordering it from P-bandai anyways. You will probably see it up on these sites too www.gginfinite.com/www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/search.aspx?search=metal%20buildYou will see the pre-orders on ebay too. Payment will be either 100% upfront or 50% deposit depending on the store.

Will it be available for preorder on all these sites on Jan 28th?

Also I read nippon yassan had cancelled the heine custom preorder from prior posts. Is it reliable to go through them to guarantee a pre-order?

Ah crap. Does it mean I have to buy the wings of light attachment for strike freedom too?
Low blow, Bandai, low blow.
I do appreciate the second chance to get Destiny though.

I got my Heine Custom cancelled from them, but I see it as a special case since Bandai didn't use to do the limit 2 per customer thing and that nippon-yassan open their preorder before even securing it. Im sure they adjusted them self to the new system now, probably have lots of mail box address ready , lol. I'll probably go with biginjap but even them is not 100%. It's next week so there should be more updates and I'm sure people here will post links to store when the preorders are up , (same as always) just have your money ready.
