BanDai Batmobile Question...

[wwwmwww]

Hello,

My first thought was the best place to ask a Batmobile question would be on the Batmobile forum. Yes there is such a place and I did...

However no one there seem to know the answer to my question so I thought I'd give you guys a shot.

Back in June I won this set on eBay.

I've seen it on eBay a fair bit since. There is one set up now for example.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6971884578 ://http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...tem=6971884578

Later I spotted this set at Action-HQ. So I tried to order it...

http://www.action-hq.com/cgi-bin/action-hq/oth002213.html

I've never seen this second set on eBay and didn't know about it till I saw it at Action-HQ. However I've just been told Action-HQ does not have this item in stock and that they can not order it any more.

Anyone know where else I might be able to find this item? Since the Action-HQ page still shows it as "Pre-Order" does anyone know if BanDai actually released this item? I'd like to get it to go with the other set I got so any help would be greatly appreciated.

While looking on my own I've found a few other places selling the Bandai set I already have.

http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN922913

And I know HLJ doesn't take out of stock items off their web page and I still can't find the other Bandai set there.

Was it an Action-HQ exclusive or something?

Thanks,

Carl

Hi Carl,

Take a look at these.

They appear to be the same only different packaging and slightly different coloring.

I tried looking for the other set, but came up empty.

Good Luck on you search.

Thanks NB4M. I've already got the Ertl ones. That's part of the reason why I'm wanting the BanDai ones. I'd like to be able to compare them.

However aside from that Action-HQ page I haven't seen that BanDai set I'm after any where? I'd be happy if I could just confirm that it exists. If someone here has it or has seen it please let me know. I've even searched Yahoo Japan for it...

So far no luck. I'm really starting to think BanDai cancelled it for some reason.

Thanks,

The second set ia a much older set, I belive it was made by Ertl but I could very easily be wrong.

The one's NB4M mentioned are much older and made by Ertl. The ones I'm looking for are made by BanDai and according to Action-HQ should have come out in March of 2005. I wouldn't call that old at all. The thing is that page at Action-HQ was last updated Feburary 17, 2005 so I don't know if they've been released at all to be honest. That's what I'm trying to find out.

My guess is Bandai cancelled it or delayed it. I seriously doubt that that set was released and you missed it. It's somewhat of a comfort to you? No? Too bad (Dr, Evil's voice)

Well as I wasn't looking for this or even aware of this back in March I'm sure I could have easily missed it. However the fact that no one seems to know anything about it now does have me thinking it's been delayed or cancelled. If it has I'll live but I'm curious as to how I can find out for sure. Does BanDai have a web site were one could inquire about something like this?

Thanks,

Carl
