Yep that's definitely it. b'coz i'm suppose to receive mine by next month too. so i guess i was wrong, you can still find/purchase it online then. that said dun hesitate to buy it if you don't have the earlier version. b'coz you'll never know with these things, a few many mths down the road the price will just skyrocket like nobody's business . I still regret abt missing it when it was first released the first time round, but not anymore! ;D

The $61 shipping scares me ;D I'll just take my chances at Frank & Son. Hopefully BBTS or BetaToys picks it up too.

how can bbts still ask $180 when GGGG has a broken right leg? $100 would be a fair price.

Just check Ebay when it gets released. ..& be prepared to pay sky-high price for it too. there's already one over at ebay rite now with a BIN price of US$219.99 (shipping US$36).

$219 is not what I consider "sky high" for a GGGG... I've seen the original going for a lot more than that.

It doesn't look like the reissue. What do you mean? Remember this is allegedly only a limited reissue.

I meant to say it didn't include the additional bolts and didn't state the minor changes to the reissue. I believe the descriptions and photos are from the 1st release (same with HLJ website too). But I am 100% sure BBTS is aware that there is a version 2 that should come out around May.

if the price between bbts and HLJ is that close i would surely buy it from BBTS because of its great services.

According to Joel of BBTS after speaking to his Japanese suppliers, he and his suppliers are NOT aware of any "version 2.0" for GGGG. Instead, they know that it is a "new" production and IF any changes are done, it should be incorporated with the final product.

Translation; It's being sold to them under the same SKU as the original release, because CM's didn't feel like differentiating it from the first run since they assume the original is no longer available. All well and good assuming the original is sold out at all retailers, but can be a pain in the ass to keep track of if they get mixed into existing stock if there is any.
