I haven't heard anything and I'm wondering if they'll be able to honor my preorder. 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.
Mog Posted August 30 Posted August 30 Yep, Amazon Japan’s shipping’s been fairly quick with minimal issues. Plus, the exchange rate has been pretty favorable to the US dollar. So, it was a no-brainer for my impatient ass.
davidwhangchoi Posted August 30 Posted August 30 amazon US is never shipping out my Tread order i guess it was never meant to be.

davidwhangchoi Posted August 30 Posted August 30 i'm skeptical but will wait. they had a history of taking metal build orders and never fulfilling them in the past. I was certain Riobot wouldn't be limited print as Bandai but a bit worried. Maybe i shouldn't....
DewPoint Posted August 31 Posted August 31 I just hope you get it without any potential unexpected added charges. Hopefully you get it soon.
BroTaku79 Posted August 31 Posted August 31 I got mine directly from D4Toys and yes, it got stuck in customs for days..... I had to literally call FedEx few times and be on the phone explaining what it was...then few more days later it got released. Not to mention there will be a tariff bill from FedEx...all in all...it is going to take rougly 3 weeks from purchase to arrival..

Robin-11 Posted August 31 Posted August 31 (edited) Yes, there are blades and heat seeking missiles on the chest. I mean, this thing is so awesome there must be! Edited August 31 by Robin-11

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.
Grey728 Posted August 31 Posted August 31 I purchased direct from D4Toys as well. D4 request a FedEx account number so they could add a tariff charge to it. I setup a FedEx account then gave D4 the account number. They shipped promptly thereafter and charged an additional $24 to the FedEx account.
Graham Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Can anybody confirm if the Sentinel Legioss reissue has actually been released yet or not? I've tried searching, but most sites just say August or Q3 release, but no updates if it's actually out yet or not.

Graham Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Just I also haven't seen any show up in the physical hobby stores here in HK yet and we usually get stuff within a week of the release in Japan, sometimes quicker if they are shipping from a factory in China, rather than shipping from Japan. But so far, nada.
jenius Posted September 1 Posted September 1 I received my Legioss reissue from hobby Genki, it was a weird Japan only release.
Graham Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Just now, jenius said: I received my Legioss reissue from hobby Genki, it was a weird Japan only release. Ah OK. I have the Legioss and Tread on pre-order, but no news yet from the online store I bought from and my credit card has yet to be charged for them. I was hoping to pick up a second Legioss from a physical hobby store here, but zero sign of them.

Well, my situation may not work for you though. I had to give my FedEx account number to D4 Toys, they shipped it, but when it landed in US, FedEx did not have correct information (Country or origin) on customs paper. This delayed the process, and both myself and D4 Toys submitted correct information to FedEx. Few days went with no movement, I contacted FedEx to make sure that they had information in their file. Another few days and nothing, so I called again, and this time, I was passed to different people few times, and I had to explain what the item was in more detail (Action figure, plastic content, etc). FedEx agents all stated that since the 27th of August, a lot of new people got hired due to de minimis ending, and most of them didn't even have proper training to add the correct customs codes (harmonized codes for clearance). After a long call, 2 days later it finally cleared and now it is on its way to me.

Tubes78 Posted September 1 Posted September 1 Got my Riobot Tread today from Bombusbee. Very happy with it. Had a hard time finding one that wasn’t like almost 500 euro to ship to The Netherlands. It just showed up in stock one day with a price of just 273 euro. I couldn’t believe it but pressed buy now immediately. Thank god I didn’t wait, were gone pretty soon after that.

First time seeing one IRL; it’s a lot smaller and more delicate (e.g., see vertical stabilizers) than I expected, but it’s not exactly fiddly. And I’m grateful for that.

I’ll buy 2 dozen units just to have enough guns to fill every port. 3 guns along each inner calf and thigh is gonna be stupid, but I wanna see it.
