Tamiya Mossie & HLJ

[rkranias]

Ship reset to 30 Sept? Others have them in stock not HLJ. Any thoughts?

[JeroenPeters]

Hmm.... thats strange.

I have an order there too...

[Dave J]

Its been delayed completely to the Japanese market.

[FarEast]

Well as HLJ and Beaver Corp are based in Japan and purchase direct, so I can't see why they won't be able to get the product now as they also have an online domestic shop here in Japan.

[nmayhew]

because as Dave says, release in japan is delayed

 

for whatever reason, rest of world gets them beforehand

Thanks for the translation - couldn't work out what he meant.

Took awhile for the Corsair to start showing in shops over here too, kind of strange but I'll wait for it to show up at Yodobashi, the price will be worth the wait.

Your not allowed to build British.

And get those points too!

 

I just got the Wingnut Wings Pfalz D.IIIa at a bargain price of 3,000 JPY after cashing in some of the points!

Well I'd actually have to build something to build British!  I'll definitely pick it up, it will most likely languish in the stash for a good long while though.

Ahh, and that sentence started so well, pity about the end though LOL

Cancelled my order. Not prepared to wait until almost October. The website is ambiguous re pricing. The model is listed as 19800 yen but my pending order said it was 15840 yen both without shipping.

Even at the lower price which is roughly £81.00 it becomes over £130 with shipping,VAT and Parcel force's handling fee of £12 still has to be added on.

For what it's worth...

 

HLJ's pre-order items are usually initially offered at a significant discount from the regular price once in stock. The ¥15840 price was most probably what you would have paid.

HLJ always honors their pre-orders.

 

My gut feeling on this, they are hoping a lot of us cancel. The Yen crashed after the release and the pre-order offer may be too much of a loss for them.
