Briefly felt hope that I might actually get a pre-order - but shipping and taxes to the UK more than doubles the cost.

I guess I'll take my chances and wait for release.

I?m willing to bet mandarake will be your friend come the Japanese release date.

That'll definitely be my first port of call.

I am ready for the battle tonight!!!!

Neither Hobby-Genki nor AmiAmi have pages up for Gokai Red but do everything else in this drop... That's concerning. I REALLY don't like this trend starting with Seihous being so limited.

Sure hope HLJ comes in clutch and I manage to actually find him/somebody somewhere shares a link before he sells out, which is probably gonna be QUICK.

Everytime I refresh hobby genki, a new figure is listed. Don’t lose hope yet.

They have shown two star wars fellers and a body chan so far. Our boy might still show up. Maybe in 50 minutes?

Yeah they were doing that for a while. I was refreshing too. Then it stopped for what has felt way too long.

But! I forgot about the Body Chan going up and yeah that just got added. Oookay, good, maybe they still will get it.

Still peeved AmiAmi's not doing it since I order everything from there but meh at least I've got credit to burn with Hobby Genki.

Edit: Oh right just remembered to check amiami.jp - yep, lottery like Faiz, domestic only. What the hell.

So I not the only one who doesn’t see Gokai red page on hobby genki. I starting to wonder about this line for the future if it even worth buying anymore when so limited?

Ahh never mind the page just went up.

Sooo 32 minutes and he is available, right?

We gotta cut hobby genki a break. We are micromanaging them, lol. They got the page up.

Also this might be worthless speculation, but maybe Faiz was limited because he was also getting a US retail release?

Famous last words here, but maybe Gokai red won’t be as bad? He ain’t getting a US release right?
