Yes this has happened to me as well. Item went on backorder but I still received mine, if a little late.

That's just it though, it's been a few days and there's not been any email confirmation or processing note. Hopefully it's just a case of they literally haven't got around to updating its status.

Only problem is HLJ has done this to me before where I back/preorder a kit, it comes in stock, sells out, and gets backordered all without me getting my order filled.

Never saw the box art for Faiz Axel until now

amiami is has one in their preowned section if anyone is looking for it

Woah! Did not see that coming! Thought they'd do RX before black, or at least finish Heisei and get into Reiwa first.

So damn happy this is a thing! Literaly have been hoping for an ss black alternative. Albeit it wont be as accurate looking with all the movement and soft-goods the ss has, but it'll still be a decent representation proprotion and display wise. Will just need a hell of a lot of matte black paint and black wash. Very very nice reveal. Any release date or additional info like pricing, accessories, release?

Also real head scratcher that he doesn't have a toe bend.
Hope for a Shadow Moon pb and the bikes, maybe rx next?

Time for Showa FRS?!

None of the previous kits had toe bend

Kuuga had the one and only toe bend.

That's unexpected! I thought they'd finish the Heisei riders first before any Showa ones!
