But the FOMO is real. 

I FOMO'd so hard last year, I ended up getting scammed on eBay. Just a reminder to only pre-order through reputable stores.

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.

BTW has anyone gotten a solid price on what MS Sazabi is going to cost ? I keep seeing rumors between 12-1500. Only place i was able to see a price was on the website of the Luna Park thieves and they wanted 1300

The retail price is ¥189,200 after tax, which at current rates is a bit over ~$1,400 USD per Google and xe.com

$1,300 doesn't sound too bad. Shipping will be killer though.

This would've been the perfect time to throw in the Grand Slam 😔

IWSP coming soon... https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2623282001001

I believe the 6/30 date may have been a placeholder. I'm seeing X-0 listings starting to pop up on PayPay and Rakuma. I'd bet buyers are getting shipping notifications.

Here's a Type-X for 30,000 yen - https://paypayfleamarket.yahoo.co.jp/item/z117282924

Order through FromJapan for a 3,000 yen off coupon. Price would be 27,000 + shipping.

Also, the Astraea+Proto GN Launcher along with the option set just got rereleased in Japan. There's a bunch available on various shopping sites.

Pre-ordering a general release MB is overrated. There's loads of MB Justice available on sites like Rakuma, PayPay, etc. all selling for 30k yen. My proxies 10% off coupon brings that price down to 27k.

The Hi-Nu won't be any different. Japanese shopping sites will be flooded with them come July. Save yourself the trouble and just proxy one after release.

My proxy order was delivered earlier this week. I don't think that vid accurately reflects the color.

It arrived with a small scratch on the front leg.
