Perfectly stated, bocasas. And I just want to throw out there that I'm not trying to say that there isn't a place for great deals and helping each other out, however it's definitely a favor and not something that a single person is entitled to. It's easiest to increase the odds of being helped by being active in the community, helping others, etc. etc. but IMO a lot of people only want to act like fellow collectors are "bros" when they need something.

And here I offered one to another member at $330 shipped back in September and blew me off for the BBTS preorder and wanted to pay me $250. I wonder if he is still waiting? I have sold it since

It's pretty normal on this forum that some members expect to pay retail price for hard to find figures on BTS section of the forum. This is my post for selling GFFMC 1002 and 1003 back in 2011 (way before their reissues). I was asking the lowest price at that time. But look at the hate I got from one member: robotjapan.proboards.com/thread/19193/all-sold It's a free market. If you don't like my price that's totally ok. but don't give other people an impression that I'm committing a crime for not selling the figures at retail price.

It's like I said, people sit around feeling entitled to some price they've self-set as buyers and eat crow as good deals disappear. It's almost a gaurantee for anything sold second-hand in these "community" forums that isn't below retail. Anyways, back to Mazinkaiser; it's an awesome piece and congrats to all who have and will in the future receive it. It's truly one of the best.

You're right. In the end I will have no Mazinkaiser, just like now, or one at decent price.

On BBTS the statue has changed to Pre-Order/Sold Out.
So I don't know if they simply closed the pre-order has no stock is coming, or they got an update of their stock coming.

I hope it means they have incoming stock! It is weird that they are the only people listing new stock of this figure, though. I'm still waiting.

I contacted them on Facebook, only to be told to send an email....
So no update.

No BBTS about their order. I doubt Sentinel would answer me, as a Japanese company. Also, shipment must have been sent by boat, as this is by far the cheapest method. If this is the case, that could explain the long delay.
But according to BBTS, they should receive their stock.

ONE YEAR LATER... I preordered this just over a year ago! BBTS won't even check to see what's up with this, they just change the release date every month. How could they not know what is going on?

I email often BBTS on this. They are still expecting it.
They received Getter, and they thought it would have come in the same shipment but no.
They didn't get any cancellations from their supplier.
So they are still waiting for it, like me and like you

Finally, the stupidity ends. There was never more than the slightest sliver of hope that they would make good on this preorder. It was too good to be true.They won't admit their fault, of course. It really bothered me that bbts was so obtuse about it, and refusing to confirm their order, while keeping us on the hook for so long. It would have been so simple to find out if this order would be fulfilled, but nooo...
