what exactly did you say to FedEx?
I had my Alpha and Beta shipped via slow boat (Japan Post) prior to the tariff situation coming into effect.
I realize that there are no experts here on tariffs and would appreciate some insight here if anyone can provide
Shipping for the Alpha says “in transit “ and hasn’t left Japan yet. This was ordered from NinNin November 2024 and shipped August 21 2025
Shipping for the Beta says delivery expected Between today and September 10. This was ordered from Hobby Genki November 2024 and shipped August 1 2025.
Any ideas/guesses on me getting hit with tariffs / trying to argue out of them would be appreciated.
My understanding is that Sentinel is gauging interest to move forward with new designs: aka the beta.
If they resell a ton of cyclones, they’ll probably move forward with reissuing the alphas and make the beta to go along.
Got three scouts as well as 2 Helcats and a Breetai. Also got the adaptor for the MPC Alpha to the MPC Beta.
Have never taken the Alpha or Beta out of the bookcase. I’m just afraid of things breaking.
Regarding the Sentinel Beta: will they be released by themselves or as a pack with their corresponding Alphas?
Just trying to get an idea if I should source out Sentinel Alphas now and/or if anyone thinks that the Alphas will go for crazy prices nice the Treads/Betas come out.
Little off topic but does anyone know if/when a reissue of the HMR Monster is coming? I remember reading something rather recently about seeing it at a show and coming soon.
Also what would retail be on this?
