well that sucks if that's the case. It's possible that the period to get the coupon might have ended earlier

I do see a 10% coupon.  I also "forged" the link to get the 20% coupon, and then I could access the offer page, but it says the coupon is not valid for my account.  Thats why I said the 20% offer is account dependent.

Buyee currently has a 20% discount coupon for the Toys > Anime figures category in Mercari till the 29th (Japan time). Metal build figures (and other figures) are usually under that category, so if you're looking to get Kampfer close to JP retail price, this is your chance (assuming the item is under the said category for the discount). Kampfer is currently priced at around 50k yen in Mercari, so with a 20% discount, it would be around 40k yen. Do note that the coupon can be used multiple times and applies to anything under the said category, so if you're looking for other items, it's your chance to get it at a lower price.

 

Seems like offer is account dependent

Someone REALLY needs to let the people running p-bandai know that their JPY to USD conversion rate is about 3 years out of date. 🙄

As if they'd care..  I end up ordering via Hong Kong P-Bandai and paid ~$250 USD instead of $320.  Still more than yen price but not by much.

Since the Strike Noir has unique molding I assume it will be released later in a different color scheme as a general or TWE release. Maybe the show exclusive one is in Deactivated Mode?

To me it seems unlikely to put the money into new tooling and use it only for an event exclusive release.

MAYBE BBTS, based on previous history of P-Bandai exclusive metal build drops.

Its a big maybe, and expect them to tag extra markup on top of whatever price non-JP PBandai sells for (if it drops at PBandai USA at all)

Edit; I quoted the wrong message, was suppose to reply to weiser21.  My bad.

Afaik... its an event only and lottery draw after. No pbjp availability other than lottery. Its not a regular release.

The same thing happened to Metal Build Strike 10th Ver and 00 Raiser TransAm in P-Ban.jp, but it was released as p-ban everywhere else as a FCFS drop, aside from 00 TransAm not available in US, so not all hope is lost on this one.

Wow.  Just wow.  $3500 CAD, about $2740 USD.  This is just disgusting.

Uh huh and how do you expect those outside those regions to buy it the way you did? 

I'm not located at those regions as well.  There are a lot of people offering services in those regions if you don't have any FNF in those countries, not to mention you can always find a reshipper service/address.

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.

I was lucky enough to grab both the Destiny Soul Red and 00 Trans Am off Asia P-Ban (And managed to hit a 2nd 00 Trans Am via 2nd or 3rd P-Ban JP lottery)

Persistence is the key  Dont buy into resale (Unless you really want them)

very unlikely, this is not a P-Bandai item. If it were it would have been live for JP Pbandai on day 1 release. 

As I mention before the MS Nu were listed on BluefinBrand back then, during back then P-Bandai US site were not really active on selling much things on the site. since they let Bluefinbrand distribute however they like. 

Hence "pray".  Most likely on shop.bandai.com tho. (But US cards only)

Lets just all pray it drops on P-Bandai US

You could try a store that hasn’t listed yet and sending an email asking if they plan to and when. I don’t know if many of the Canadian places have listed them, but on things like that you have to make sure they ship out of country. 

Would be interested to see which shop in Canada sells it as well.

Having multiple store pages opened and constantly refreshing is starting to affect my life.  It has been 4 days (I started Aug 1st because it is 2nd in Japan) glued in front of the computer, not able to sleep for more than 1 hour intervals due to FOMO (yet I still missed out on BBTS and USAGS).  For the time it takes me to write these lines have already gone through my tabs and refreshed twice LOL.

Don't bother refreshing sites that already dropped more than 2hrs ago.  If they had to cancel orders they'd be cancelled already.  Especially with USAGS where their site literally gets botted instantly.

Save yourself some time and effort, install one of those auto refresh and notify extensions for chrome (Trying to find the name of it)

Edit:  Extension is called Distill.  Google it

P Bandai and Bluefin (or whatever they're called now). Good luck getting one in the 5sec window they will be available.

I'm so over this.

Same.

I managed to order from 1 of the sites today, and then for whatever reason my order got cancelled.  Maybe because I had to use a reshipper since I'm not in the USA.

According to amiami twitter and japanese home page, the devise metal build will be a lottery sale.

(And i managed to missed ALL sites releases lol)

Long time lurker, first time poster.

MB Hi-Nu still available at toyzinthebox for $349.  I know their site looks bad but been ordering from them for a while now.

P.S. I'm not store/site owner, nor am I affiliated with them, but I personally rather supporting local mom and pop stores instead of BBTS.
