After a month long delay, MP10 convoy reissue is already making its way to various sources through Hasbro Asia and already in stock from some Taiwan based ebay sellers, a few days ahead of Takara Tomy which is due on 27th.

Just noting that today is the official release date of most of the June items, so some people have already been getting shipping notices on pre-orders... and those waiting for their release first, you should be able to start finding them online or on ebay.

I think HLJ took more orders than they had stock for again. I ordered TAV Drift within hours of the preorder going live and I have not gotten mine, he's now listed as discontinued. Also my LG Black Convoy dropped in my POL at BBTS.

I missed out on TAV Drift, Cosmos and Powerglide, but did get Superion

For anyone else that hasn't gotten Drift, don't panic yet. I just got this email from HLJ in reply to my enquiry.

Hello, Nik,

Thanks for writing. I've talked to our products team about this for you to see what's happened, and we have good news: one of our shipments of this item is running a little late, but we do expect that soon. Once it arrives we'll continue filling orders for customers like you who weren't able to get in on the first shipment.

Rest assured that this will be exactly the same item -- it's just coming from a different distributor -- and it shouldn't take too terribly long to come into stock. If you haven't heard from us about this item within about a week, you're welcome to write again for an update.

Thank you for your patience, and for shopping with us!

Best regards,

Aaron Miller

For those looking for TAV Drift and Powerglide, I was in a shop in Mong Kok yesterday that still had a full shelf of these guys left so they shouldn't be TOO hard to get. Cosmos however is well and truly sold out everywhere.

And the UW-01 is selling between HK$760 to HK$850 at the moment on shelves in HK.
