Couuld care less about missiles I'd never use Thank god Amzn JP doesn't charge until shipping like everywhere else Are you sure, have you looked at your credit/debit card account? This was my strategy too, because I didn't want to pay upfront but Amazon has already charged me. And to add insult to misery, I even went ahead and ordered the reissue Legioss Eta which was also been charged. Quote

Mog Posted November 30 Posted November 30 At least, the Yen to USD exchange rate is pretty damn favorable for us Yanks right now. Quote

vladykins Posted December 3 Posted December 3 Grabbed mine. Now I need to start reorganizing the shelf to accommodate! Quote

WhatBoutMyStar Posted December 4 Posted December 4 Anyone had their Sentinel Ride Armor crack at the swivel joints at the rear of the bike? Flipped my Houquet bike over to access the kick stand and found one completely cracked and the other with what seems to be a hairline crack developing. The figure has been rarely messed with. This now makes all four that suffered cracks, so extremely disappointed to say the least with the build quality. Quote
jenius Posted December 4 Posted December 4 I've never opened my Houquet but I was excited thinking it had redesigned swing bars that would be less likely to crack... This is obviously a bummer. Quote

At least they have that price guarantee where they'll give you the best price once the product releases. I guess that's something. I find the shipping from Amazon JP to be fair to the US as well vs some other Japanese retailers. I just paid nearly 110 USD for 2 sets of Ozma Valks. Quote

jenius Posted December 11 Posted December 11 (edited) If only they would make it widely available! Edited December 11 by jenius Quote
Mog Posted December 11 Posted December 11 Welp, decided to give the Tread a little “extra” firepower: Still gotta paint it up and may need to jerry-rig a way to extend the length between the trigger and the handle. But it should work for the big burly bastard. And the barrels rotate! Quote

davidwhangchoi Posted December 11 Posted December 11 please release the missiles, try and catch more sales Sentinel. hint hint. Quote
DewPoint Posted December 11 Posted December 11 What happened to this being "Japan Only"? If they are saying Robotech, then shouldn't this be available everywhere? Quote
Mog Posted December 11 Posted December 11 (edited) I always thought it was only the missiles that were a “Japan shipping address only” exclusive. But the Tread itself is available to any location (sans missiles). Edited December 11 by Mog Quote
jenius Posted December 11 Posted December 11 The normal Japanese stores aren't listing it and say it's only available in Japan. In the meantime, some international stores have listed it like bbts. It's a mess that sentinel should figure out. If I could order it on HLJ today, I would. Quote
Big s Posted December 11 Posted December 11 3 hours ago, Mog said: I always thought it was only the missiles that were a “Japan shipping address only” exclusive. But the Tread itself is available to any location (sans missiles). I tried finding it on the usual Japanese sites like hlj and hobbysearch and they wouldn’t list them . Hobbysearch has a weird work around to view their Japanese only items and I think I posted it a page or so back. Basically you have to go to the url and erase the English part, then the Japanese version of their site comes up and I did find their listing for the rerelease of the legios, and the basic tread. It wouldn’t show on the English version of their site. It’s the same trick you have to use to view their Bandai model kits. Quote
MKT Posted December 12 Posted December 12 So weird that the Japan-only rule is being enforced more tightly than Macross releases. At least with the Macross international embargo, the Japanese web stores are still able to list them for international customers, but not this Tread. Quote

Also odd that their rerelease of the legioss is mixed in there, while aoshima just did a rerelease of the legioss transforming kits with no issues. I really don’t know the reasons here for the decision Quote
Mechapilot77 Posted December 12 Posted December 12 did anyone going through amazon japan get a weird message that it was out of stock after hitting the place order button? yet the order seemed to have gone through because it shows up in your list of orders? Quote

At least with the Macross international embargo, the Japanese web stores are still able to list them for international customers, but not this Tread. Exactly! Even when BigWest and HG were at their most contentious, it was never difficult to order from a toy from Japan and have them ship it internationally. Very strange what is happening here and I can only assume it's driven by Sentinel. If I had to guess, they received a strongly worded letter from HG saying they need a license to sell internationally and they have WAY over-reacted to that. Of course, then they go and tweet about Robotech so... that seems to dispute my guess. Quote
mantisfists Posted December 14 Posted December 14 Didn't see this posted yet so…. He seems to have some trouble pegging things in but the figure still looks pretty good, if a little loose in the knees. Nothing a little Kiki wouldn't fix. Quote

Microbe999 Posted December 20 Posted December 20 Why are the release dates all over the place for the Legioss and the tread? What is the actual release date on these two? Amazon US saying october but other sites saying august - october. Quote
locidm Posted Friday at 05:02 PM Posted Friday at 05:02 PM I'm glad to see they used a current conversion rate when pricing the tread on amazon US. It'll be about the same or cheaper than ordering from Japan even with taxes. Quote
Mog Posted Friday at 05:07 PM Posted Friday at 05:07 PM Release from Japan sources will get sent out around August. US sites will get them from the slow boat, and then ship them out from US. So, whole process will probably take you out to October. So, lower price from vendor on Amazon US, but will take longer to receive it. Quote
