Source?

The official web page still says it's coming out this month and HLJ's still listing it as coming out on the 30th. <shrugs>

I have sent a msg to RK but no replies yet to confirm

Best place to order from? HLJ?

[GoktimusPrime]

I've preordered from HLJ, but I it says "Order Stop" on it, which I think means that they're not taking any pre-orders for it atm.

RK and other HK stores knows nothing bout delay so hopefully its only a few stores and not all...

hmm... unless any other Japanese speakers (or people with access to Japanese speakers) here feel like calling TakaraTOMY to confirm/deny this? I'm at work during their call centre's hours, so I probably can't call until Good Friday or Easter Monday (since they're not public holidays in Japan). Anyone else able to try and call sooner? Just check the bottom or back of any TakaraTOMY TF toy for their call centre numbers.

This is literally the 1st I've heard of it in all my internet travels, curious...

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.
