Well Amazon just officially screwed me out of my Treads...

Is there a third-party seller with stock on Amazon?  My friend in GA contacted Amazon customer support, and complained that his pre-order was cancelled even though other sellers have the same product available.  They told him to order from the third-party seller, and refunded him the difference.

Cancel.  But given it's nearly inpossible to spurce one now it's more like they fraked my childhood.

That sucks, but at least you got the cash back. I have a feeling that you could find them from other places, or that they will just get reissued eventually

There are none.

Wasn't it supposed to be a Japanese release only?

BBTS release date is for this month. Can't remember if it was pushed from October or September.

Yes, it was a Japan-only release which was why the usual Japanese hobby sites didn't carry it. Very strange release. BBTS should have known MONTHS ago if they hadn't been able to secure inventory. Maybe Sentinel has indicated an international release is going to be announced soon and BBTS is waiting on that to coincide with an announcement that everyone's preorders will be part of that release whenever it's scheduled for. OR... maybe BBTS had them delivered by boat and there have been logistical hiccups. We should be finding out soon!

BBTS is usually pretty good at coming through with things. Since it’s a Japan only item, they probably did what they do for Bandai web exclusives and have a purchaser that gets them and then ships them most likely by slow boat

May also keep an eye on Mandarake

A few have been popping up. 

I keep checking regularly for some Iotas. Check manually, run a search for "mospeada" or "tread. And don't relay on the alerts. For me in Mexico (center) start looking early in the morning around 7 am and at night past 8 pm has given me the best results. So far I could have striked like 2 Treads already but I only wanted one. Lol.

Preorder In! Been waiting for these!

The Moderoid kits are up for preorder at a number of places like Good Smile, HLJ, Hobby Genki, etc.

Great!  We can finally get some solid info, like measurements and MSRP. 

At a height of 16cm, that would make Ride Armor slightly smaller than the Sentinel figures... about equal to the old 1:12 Aoshima kits.  ¥8000 per kit seems a little steep, but not unreasonable.

Has anyone figured out if these kits are 1/12 scale, close to that size or waaaay smaller? 

As others have said, pretty close. Came out to 6.29 inches at head height after everything is on. If you factor in the high heels, would probably be right at six inches, maybe a bit taller for the actual characters in 1/12th scale, but would probably not look out of place on a shelf with six inch group of figures

If it's ~6.3" up to the top of the head/helmet, that's pretty good for me whether armored up or not.

Yeah, especially when you take into account they have chonky high heels.

I would have loved it if Sentinel released Classic Ride Armors to begin with.

Same here. I would’ve had the extra money back then

Where can I preorder them without paying additional taxes and ship them to France?.Shops like Gundamit and Showzstore offer included taxes.

Maybe check those stores in a couple days and see if they get added

Definitely interested, but I'm really hesitating. 

My Hasegawa TV Milia Queadlunn Rau came in at $45.10.. but then $89 shipping and a bunch of handling and duties.. $134 fees on a $45 kit. NOT HLJ's fault. but I'm hoping to find these Moderoids in the US. Even with markup.

Moderoid kits usually come in at a number of shops. Anyone see them anywhere in the US yet? Im checking gundamplanet, usagundamstore, and bigbadtoystore but am open to other vendors. i definitely want this kit!

I haven’t seen them in the U.S. stores and that usually doesn’t happen with Moderoid, they’ve all been easy to find. I think it may be a harmony gold blockade rolling again. Probably since these are labeled with the Japanese names. Usually the stores you listed will have them on the same day or a day after the Japanese preorders open.

The tariffs are unfortunately adding a lot of extra costs that are rather frustrating to hobbies and collectibles

Sentinel Team ASSEMBLED! Late to the show -- but as you already all know, worst part is the face shield.

HORRIBLE idea to put that pattern on there, & go opaque. Was going to fiddle with them like I've seen others do, don't have time.

How about in a Sentinel committee meeting someone say: "Ya know, how about we include a good visor as well?" ~ Sigh

NO WAY am I changing these to armor mode. They scream: I'll break if you do! -- Other worst part is fiddly ball-joints and ejecting parts.

BEST part is having he whole team, and Fuke's color doesn't bother me. She looks awesome.

I give the whole effort an 8.3 out of 10 *They tackled something very dated and hard to pull off - & succeeded.

P.S. - Thank you BBTS for yet another month without my Tread & Legioss
