Pretty sure you can't. But I still pre ordered from RK. Seems like the usual Japanese sources (NY, HLJ etc) may not get it so didn't want to risk waiting.Quote:

And yes they are bringing it in, just waiting on price.
for a supposedly limited edition toy, i'm seeing quite a few options online & at reasonable prices too.
That sounds good, hopefully they can bring it in.Quote:

Saying that, prices at RK looks okay, if I am not wrong it will be about $90AU delivered.
the ko is guaranteed.
It's just a matter of time now
It does make me think that there must be a HK release that isn't limited, for so many dealers to be offering it so cheaply, when they know how much people would be willing to pay for this item if it was indeed limited. Both BBTS and RK would have listed this thing at well over US$100 if it was just the 2000 Japanese units being made.Quote:

So when Ehobby were doing some "Diaclone" redecos in the early 2000s, they were sought after by fans who were familiar with them, but not enough to sell out of many of those very limited toys at the time of their release. (because the original toys are the prize, so those "reissues" were bought mostly by people who could never afford the real ones... like people buying KO Japanese Gen1 toys - they'd support a legit reissue, but until that happens, the KO is the only way many could afford to own that mould)
