HobbyLink Japan (HLJ) (Japan) new items

[griffin]

Yeah, I've had that happen too, but they didn't contact me either way. It just changes from Backordered to Discontinued without notice. I shot them an email and will wait for their response.

Looks like I didn't get Blurr from the first batch either, so will have to wait a week or two to see if they find some more.

The September items are in, as I just got charged for Fort Max and Weirdwolf.

[Deonasis]

I just realised I hadn't paid for Fort Max and this is not a good fortnight. Eek!!!

I just saw that HLJ has listed the first 10 of the Movie Anniversary toys, plus (Headmaster) Leo Prime, and they are all as Order Stop already.
They weren't up for very long as I check it often... so hopefully they just had very conservative numbers first, and will be pre-ordering more from TakaraTomy to open up more units for us to pre-order later.
(not that I might get all of the Movie toys, but I want to lock them in early and decide later when we see actual images of the toys)

Probably old news for a few of us now, but Primal is now in stock for those with preorders.

Almost four weeks later, and Leo Prime & the Movie Anniversary toys are still on Order Stop. WTH...
To sell out that early, means they didn't have many units to begin with, and then not being able or willing to increase their order with TakaraTomy during that time, is very unusual, because they are obviously very popular, and HLJ would be missing out on a lot of money from people who have since pre-ordered elsewhere during those four weeks.
And they added MB-11 Optimus, but it obviously didn't last long either.
