    Last year's 00 Raiser Trans Am was ¥27.5k retail, ¥50k+ resale.

    From what I recall, it was also on Asian p-b sites. The second or third round of orders hit Japan sites a few months later and were selling for low ¥30's. There were loads of them available.

    Drop ¥50k now, or wait and possibly get one for a much more reasonable price. The choice is yours.

    This is true! I bought my Trans AM raiser for 45K but I'm seeing them drop to 35K - so yeah I suggest wait for more releases eventually it will come. The same also happened with the Blue version 2019 Tamashii exclusive.

  3. my 2nd order confirmed -  (just in case LP cuts me)

    Pretty much my mentality is if I get one - good, if I don't for near SRP - all good :)

    I wonder how am I going to ship this from my homeland.

    120K php = 2,100 USD

    I can definitely see this thing going for 4K-5K USD (which is happening now)

    I'm keen on a Strike Noir MB! One of my favs! But if I can't have one - all good

  4. Looks like some stores can't confirm allocations yet thus they are unable to open POs, I have contacted some of my go to guys, even local and said can't confirm due to it very limited, or don't have allocation.
     
    Btw - LunaPark just got back to me about my order and said, since a I'm priority customer it will be secured and head of office will touch base with me to pay for the difference of the price they initially have put up, I'm thinking that is secured? We'll see.

    This is my shocked face.

    So pretty much - if you have been loyal with them, purchase items during the past year - you're a priority and secured.

    I guess that explains why they didn't cancel my order and looks like I just have to pay the difference of the SRP that Bandai has officially announced.

    They shouldn't not opened up orders while no confirmation from Bandai.

    I'll keep you guys posted!

    Saw in a Facebook group that a guy who PO with LunaPaek and paid full in advance had his order canceled without notification... Still waiting to see if they refund him. Hope you have better luck, but given their track record I doubt they'll honor it especially with the higher MSRP than they listed it for. 

    ah was it from LP? I did message and told me that it is secured from my side. He did mention though that the reason Bandai increased it - is because of the inflation and yen being down 30% - There is a possibility that I have to pay some differences.

    Bandai has not officially released a price/date - but they might know someone in the inside or a wholesaler that offered that price to them.

    So not cancelled for me but most likely would need to pay a difference. I'll keep you guys posted.

  7. Wow! OK - I just received my Wing from Luna - it is simply amazing. Very colorful but it works. Matte Finish so be careful with rubbing off to other parts. Comes with 2x extra stands for support. Overall well executed - if you have a snowhite or Wing Zero Custom - you should know and expect what to get. But this version looks amazing as well. Well done Bandai.

    Do you guys think AmiAmi is boycotting Bandai? Not sure if they are because they still have some Gundam Universe action figure listed today. But no Metal Build. Hmmm.

    I think its the whole Gunpla issue that Bandai announced. Looks like the JP market are not getting the Gunpla that they want as they are being bought by scalpers overseas.

    JP people lining up just to get Gunplas.

    As Bandai's priority are its JP customers, they have advised retailers to prioritize its local market. I read it on a FB page on Mecha Alliance I think (can't remember) so maybe AmiAmi is one of those stores - I can be wrong for MBs

    I was able to get a preorder in on preorder night from Amazon.JP.  from Amazon themselves for a super price right with the orders open and closed.  BUT just received an email today . 


     

    Thank you for using Amazon.co.jp.

    Correct price: 35,200 yen

    Therefore, we have canceled your order based on the Amazon.co.jp terms of service.

     

     

    Booooooo….   They did offer me a special link to reorder from them that is only for my account so now I haves about 2 weeks to decide if I still want it for the MSRP price that will ship to my tenso japan address.  .  …. .. I will probably not reorder it and there might be orders like me that are getting this email .  So come March 4th JST,  you might see some reopening on amazon .jp 

    28K and amazon JP shipping is cheap! wow!

     

    Unfortunately, Amazon JP has closed its doors here in NZ :( boooo with our new tax law (2 years ago) I love shopping at amazon JP
