    What is going on with HLJ...
    The movie Anniversary toys have been order stop since they were first listed over two months ago (about October 20th), and currently EVERY 2017 Transformers toy is on order stop. Even the expensive Ehobby Magna Convoy.
    Have HLJ just become too popular and are having trouble increasing their orders from TakaraTomy, because other dealers like Amazon Japan don't seem to be having the same problem.

    I think they're the only major Japanese retailer that operates on a BBTS style pay on arrival w/ private warehouse, as opposed to the others that are pay at time of order - so there are a lot of American fans of HLJ for this reason...

    My Ginrai on hold finally shipped. Maybe there's several batches?
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    I'm assuming u ordered from JP?

    If so then Ginrai's actual street date is 28th in Jp so none of the Jp based store would be shipping them too early and usually only 1-2 days before (unlike HK store where it was out a week ago :-/)

    HK shops are probably closer to the factories
