Tried ordering Strike infinity from the link above. Let's see how it goes. Total price is around 19700 yen (shipped) which is a lot cheaper than Mandarake is asking (22000 not yet shipped). For thos that ordered exclusives from Amazon, does it still have theĀ  tamashii brown shipping box?

not likely, p-bandai items almost never re-issue

yeah, and the site did say is only available in the event.Ā 

that is why i was asking if anyone here in Japan/tokyo or attending it. Or if know any service/proxy that buys/ship for the service.Ā

since the items that you are talking about will beĀ Ā event only items, it will not be cheap to get a proxy to buy them for you.Ā  Because since there is no preordering, they will have to go to the event first before knowing if they will be able to get it.Ā  Ā So if any proxy were to do it. you will most likely needĀ Ā to pay them the travel time, the transportation cost, and any entry fee.Ā  Ā Which are most likely non refundable because that's what it will cost them just to get there to find out if your item is still available.Ā  Ā  And the item cost which is the only costĀ that will be refunded if they can not get it.Ā Ā 

If your item is available , they will buy it and bring it back to their warehouse, atĀ whichĀ  you will then need to select and pay forĀ the international shipping cost.

If your item is not available, , you will only get the item cost refunded,.. all other cost was already used to go to the event.Ā 

So it can get pretty expensiveĀ 

Ā 

This is not the same as the event items that you can preorder and then pickup at event.Ā Ā Ā

make sense which is why i was asking for ones that were going instead of ones that need to get out of the way just to attend.Ā 

just to save certain fees. I will also be checking YJA, pretty sure a bunch will go buy and resell back up on YJA--- flood the market and drop the price a bit lol

It's ok, B. You can have it too if you want a MISB one.Ā :good:Ā  I have lots of upcoming preorder payments and I'm still contemplating about it since I have no idea if I can switch the head and if the white paint is the same as the other.

If Anubis will not sell it, I'll bug him next month. ^_^Ā 

Ā 

Yoooo, so I finally got around to opening the 40th Anniversary Edition, the heads are absolutely swappable (same mold) and the parts that are "white" are pretty close to being the same. *IF* anything the original looks to be a tiny bit brighter when I look at them side-by-side, but its a very subtle difference.Ā 

Some of the other colors like the blue on the chest, yellow at the neck are noticeably different shades whereas the whites and reds are extremely close. Maybe someone with a more discerning eye could tell you better, but I think you could easily swap the heads and be none the wiser to any color differences.

I like that blue on Amuro's Zeta instead of the pink they've been using recently. Wish, if ever Tomemei decides on doing Cita once again in Amuro's color, wish they use this blue than pink. ^_^Ā 

To be honest, I like the camo look on this MB.

They did the same thing to me with the MB Strike. They don't get their stock until very late so they didn't let me know until months after it had been released. Not the easiest of chores to secure one at a reasonable price at that point.

The other thing they do that I don't like is list the release date on their site as the actual release date of the product, not the date they expect to receive the product. Then every month they send out a status update pushing the release date out to the next month. They do this for many monthsĀ until they finally deliver to you or cancel.

My MB Qan[T] they eventually delivered months after the release date. My MB 007SG I cancelled after waiting 5 months with no delivery in sight. When I cancelled theyĀ assured me they would be getting it but I wasn't willing to wait anymore. MyĀ MB Strike they cancelled 4 months after the release date.

I won't even use them as a store of last resort anymore due to all of this. If I have to I'd rather pay a marked up price on YJA or eBay for more peace of mind.

Sucks to hear that about Entertainment Earth, I remembered one MB Gundam release having the same issue, but if it was two (Strike and Seven Swords) and now the MB Eva 01 it may be time to either avoid them or use them only as a last resort for high-demand items.

I've never personally had any issues with them *knocks on wood* and they delivered my MB Eva 01 about a week or so ago.

Still up too.

I'd be highly annoyed if I was one of the ones that had their last order cancelled just to see this pop up again (caveat that we didn't really get a lot of details from the one report we had earlier in this thread).
