I got what looks like the same update, but a day earlier
Did Griffin ever get his?
I just got an updated order ship date of tomorrow (5/12)
Due to the expense that was Cyber Monday, I had to cancel the order and it is now showing as In Stock at 2800 Yen for anyone interested
Mine shipped. I had given up hope, glad I never got around to cancelling my order. I now have to figure out how to stop them from sending me marketing emails in Japanese. Ah first world problems.
I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.
I got mine today. I was worried because it was being delivered to a PO Box, but it's got a AusPost eParcel sticker on it and came okay.
The "deluxe" version doesn't really have enough new content in it though to justify going out of the way in getting it if you already have the original version, but I basically bought this as a backup copy.
Back ups are good... my original has gone through 3 house moves at least, and much viewing... the covers not great so this is goes on the "do not touch" shelf
All those prototype concept drawings was what I really wanted when I first heard about them, and hated having to pay over $100 (back then) to get it after already having the first version... which is now VERY well worn.
But since those pages were not released/published anywhere else, it was worth the trouble to have them in my Transformers library.
