MP-18B - BLUESTREAK for August in Japan

[Akky82]

Shame that the price wil be high, as i might be on my own here with this opinion but i'd be happy to have this on my shelf and put streak back in his box... I like it but yeah, wouldnt pay a premium.

[drifand]

If premium I will pass. Wondering if the ko will release it first

We've had Hasbro Asia releases of MP exclusives before... All of them except BAPE Convoy I think...

Here's the pre-order page for those using proxies -

I don't see anything about pre-orders starting on the 1st of April either...

...This one is going to get very expensive very fast when it is released.
(and being limited to just the JP market with a limited number, it is not likely to be released in the HK market... or have a chance at being released here)...

Didn't you get a date in July for a Hasbro version at Toyfair though?
Maybe they'll have a slightly different deco, but the odds of it coming out before the Japanese one must be low.

Looks good. Generally, I only buy what I see on screen, but I may make an exception in this case... depending on the price. Right now I don't own any of the Masterpiece Datsuns.

It actually starts today until April 10th. It's the red writing just above the image that has both modes and the MP number & function.

It basically translates to...

Orders period: March 26, 2015 (Thursday) 13:00 - April 10 (Friday) 13:00.
Limited number: Reservations up to 2000 pieces.

This was not one of the names on the MP listing for Australia.... but could end up being one of the unnamed cars for Nov-Dec.

Damn... in the last hour the 2000 pre-order units sold out!

It was still in stock an hour ago when I posted my reply above.
They didn't even last a day. (I was predicting it would sell out within 2 days)

If you didn't have someone secure one before they sold out, it will be a long wait until August... and expect prices to go $200+ from secondary sources.

Geez, i wish that this was the first release of bluestreak. Would have been a better looking MP, but seeing though that it has already sold out will be a pass on this one.
