They will- they are US, so won't get theirs for quite some time (again, coming by container ship). It's the same with all the US retailers.
-
You're fine with them- they just have to wait for the container to ship, then the shipment to get to them, then they can ship out. So they tend to be months behind the Japan releases. The reason many of us our getting ours now is because we ordered direct from Japan (but that means paying for the shipping instead of the lower shipping with BBTS). Granted, tariffs may kill that shipping now, since all of BBTS's stuff is way up in price now.

I'm having the same issue with the Pose+. I just can't justify right now, even though I could easily afford to. The gimmicks are, like @jenius said, things they spent money on that adds no value in my eyes but added cost that could have been better spent elsewhere. When I'm looking at $525 shipped at the cheapest site I'm finding, I just can't justify it to myself so far. Will I kick myself later? Probably not. But I have reopened the link multiple times and started a PO, only to close it a short time later.

I'll have to grab some of my Yammie 1/60 missiles out of the boxes in the attic (I don't have any mounted on my displayed units currently).
-
They all separate:
-
They have two different missiles that came with the "Exclusive" set. They don't match the missiles from the line art, but I think this is because they have them mountable on legios as well (they use the same mounting system as the gun pods). But I'd be down for more, especially since I have three more hardpoints on each wing to fill up.
-
I have the urban camo on the far right (sitting on a stealth 1J) and I don't remember it being super difficult to get. I need to brighten up the white on the shoulder missiles (this is an older pict- the rest of my more recents are a bit further away). Here's a more recent pic I pulled up, but it is a bit further away:
-
I'm loving the wing missiles that came with mine and now need them to release more so I can load up all these hardpoints.
-
It's here. Now to wait for work to be over so I can play with it.
-
Mine is out for delivery.

Probably like others, I saw the activity in this thread and, after the DX Roy GBP, thought "Maybe, just maybe, they are giving us the Tomahawk and Phalanx. And Scout Regult. And Nos-J. Q-Rau. I'm stopping myself before I get more depressed.
-
Typically the importer is who is required to pay, which means the shippers in this case- HLJ is probably collecting the fee since the shipper is asking for it as part of shipping payment.

I ended up selling off my Max since I was waiting so long and now had the squad in HMR form.
-
The proportions on that just kill me everytime I see it. I will never understand how they bulked out the arms and legs like that when they could have gone more towards the original designs.
-
This is the one I would like to see (before I finally get going and paint up one of my HMRs instead:

I've been holding my butthurt tongue.

CHURCHES! PLUM PUDDING!

Got my shipping notice for the tread from Yoyaku- about $52 to ship DHL, so not as bad as I thought it might end up being.

Interested in getting a better look at the retooled -1A head.

This is true, though the exemption may go away soon. It was providing advantages to companies like SHEIN and Temu that shipped individually. Was hoping I would be able to avoid some of the tariffs with them being de minimus but the way the tariffs have changed day-to-day with this Admin it is hard to tell what the tariffs may be and if the this exemption will continue after early May. -
A-E has always delivered for me. NY and the like? Not so much. But never had any issue with A-E.
-
AE was $264 if I paid now. Shipping isn't in yet, but it will have to be big to make that difference.
-
They popped this up at BBTS for over $600. Ummm, I think I'll order from A-E. I know tariffs may or may not be running at the time but that's still crazy. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/311945

Only one of my 1/48 Yamatos to have yellowed at all seems to be my urban camo GBP. Grantedf, I'm down mostly to darker colors now, but my low vis is fairly light and shows no yellowing.

Somehow missed this long ago, but in Arlington.
