Meh, if there is a delay of 1-2 weeks, it doesn't matter all that much to me. I've been waiting YEARS to get my hands on this bad boy, what's another couple of weeks *shrugs* IMO, if there are QC issues, I'd much rather they take the extra time in getting these fixed instead of releasing a flawed product.

Good point. What's another 2 weeks when we've been waiting 26 years for this toy. Also, the Japanese are an extremely punctual* people... there's always a good reason if they're late for something.

*e.g. A bullet train is considered late if it's running 0.7 seconds behind schedule.

Yep. They even give you a certificate or apology if they are late by a fraction of a second or if the doors don't line up with the markers.

Guys on TFW2005 said they got a couple of emails saying there will be delays.

I msg'd RK and Couple of HK stores and they know nothing bout a delay. So guess its not all stores.

Not sure bout other sites but RK is about 80.

Figuresdirect has them coming but not sure how much he is charging.

Yeah a delay to repair a quality issue, I have no problem, with. Since the source is from tfw2005 it might be a delay of delivery to import the orders to US based orders. BUt then, this is only my speculation.

The alternative is rather painful and bloody and not so popular with the younger generation I think.... It surely will keep the trains workforce low in Japan if it were the option.
