Bandai: Metal Structure MSN-04 Sazabi

[moleman]

Hmmm do I even bother with the JP pre-orders or just sleep and go for the US? I might just wait for US stores.

Clicked your link when it was 2 minutes old, when the page finally loaded it was already an order stop.

No luck at all 😣

For some reason, not all shops have preorders. Hobby Search closed PO way before preorder time, and stayed closed pretty much the whole time. HLJ was opened, but didn't last long and error during check out (order closed while waiting). Don't see POs on other shops.

It doesn’t look like Amiami’s preorder has gone up, meanwhile Nin-nin-games is listed, but hasn’t gone live (I think).

Amiami is one of the retailers adhering to Bandai's instructions to not sell new Gundam figures outside of Japan.

Most of the big retail store like big camera in Japan conduct lottery system for the pre order... very lucky to get at 190,000 yen for the retail prices, Yahoo auction Japan reseller already double the prices of the item @500,000 yen

I guess all I can hope for now is for some American distribution. And hopefully it’ll be a lot better than the way they handled it in 2019.

I completed the checkout process in Hobby Link Japan website, but still haven't received the email confirmation and the item is not on my order history. It will probably got cancelled.

How high was the shipping? Already sold out so can't really see it. Just curious.

[borg001]

base on japan EMS shipping rate , Jap to asia is around 15000 yen , to US is around 32000 yen for 12kg package

Well BBTS was a complete disaster. They posted it, but it doesn't seem to return in the results for either "metal structure" nor "sazabi". Of course, by the time I was notified, it was sold out.
