Enquired RK last night, they have no plan to get it up

Not overly keen on 7/11.

Pepsi has been done twice for the G1 mold IIRC. As a mail away a few decades ago & Pepsi Prime/Convoy with a bottle carrier for the trailer more recently.

Right, thanks for sharing that. Well I'm going to try ordering direct from 7net and shipping it to my Tenso address. If I can't get it that way I'll pay the AE pre order.

In the end I paid my AE pre-order. Glad I did because it's now sold out there.

If you ordered AE stick to it and dont request anything or thats where you may get issues.

I am pretty sure I can get this lower but just not really into it.

Just an FYI, if anyone was thinking of buying through Tenso or the like, 7-11net does not accept foreign credit cards or paypal. From what I can see, there is no possible way for a foreigner to pay for the order.

thanks for the update, it just made is a high potential for scalping sadly whenever this is the case.

If I'm in Japan on the 28th of Feb (or whichever date it happens to drop) I can just walk into a 7-Eleven and grab one right?

May not be so easy, with gundam exclusive model kits it was only certain stores in very limited numbers, would they carry something so elusive on their shelves to begin with no idea.

But if you happen to be there feel free to have a gander and report, I'm kinda curious if they would do such a thing :D

This may be very limited at least 1 per store cause look at the price tag 27000 yen unlike Gundam 1/144 kits a 1000 yen (not sure about the PGs never seen those at 7-11)

It's still available on the 7net site. Just placed an order with a proxy service (zenmarket.jp) so I can have a double. Hopefully they get the order in before it sells out.

Seems to have good reviews online, it's my first time with them. Only thing I was a little concerned about was they are requiring full payment upfront while I don't believe 7net will actually charge the card until it's in stock. It's a calculated risk.

Yup Paypal only side with you for 6 months . There are chances it be available in auctions closer to date at the same price as its still available as we see it.

I am glad I am not crazy over it.

Hi DaptoDog,

wonder if I can get one from your orders if you are going to get a double.

As I PM'd I intended to keep the double. Anyway as it turns out zenmarket reckons it is sold out so they were not able to complete the order. :(

Very strange though because if I add it to my cart in 7net and choose cash on delivery I can get to the very last step before completing the order. I've asked them to clarify but it doesn't look like the proxy thing is going to happen.

I first enquired with them on Monday so it just takes way too long to make an order through them for limited release stuff like this.

So the seller I purchased this off just emailed me and cancelled the order... not happy. Anyone know somewhere you can buy this which is not outrageous in price?

Damn that sucks mate. My notice to pay shipping came from AE yesterday, I better get on it today! These were really hard to find after AE closed their pre-order.

Well the original retailer was PC and we all know that was never coming...

I then ordered from an eBay seller smile2japan5 who had good feedback and enough feedback that I didn't think it was a scam. I think the seller just wasn't able to get as much stock as they wanted and I was one of the unlucky ones who missed out.

I just found another eBay seller who has it in stock. Just cost me more than I wanted to pay is all. Grrrrrr....

Damn it looks good. Box looks like it's it good shape, they didn't just send it like that did they?

NY posted it up for sale again today and I jumped on it. So in the end I got my double. My order from AE should get here any day. Can't wait to have a white Magnus since I used him as my leader of the Autobots when I was a kid.

it had a layer of shrink wrap on it, and was also wrapped in a layer of bubble wrap before being placed inside a box with a bit of newspaper as well.

Unfortunately the back of the box has a concave shape to it, like something heavy has been sitting on the backside of the box. No creases, just a depression of the whole back panel.

The most noticeable side is the left side:

Theres no creasing of the box, so its probably fixable if I were to get inside the box, but I feel like this is one to stay misb so it will stay like that

^ Yeh that's annoying. It's happened to a few of my boxes, most notably to one of my BAPE's.

I wonder if the strength (grade) of the box, or the lack of, is the reason for the concave shape. Cheaper toys in Kmart have a more sturdy packaging. First world problems I know.

I'm no materials engineer but would suction cups work. If that fails, there's always the upcoming PotP Cindersaur as a possible remedy. Those lips! :p
