    For future reference they are. They specialize mainly in the sale of 1/6 scale figures but recently they’ve started selling Tamashii Nations toys.

    The reviews online say so they are legit and they accept Paypal which is a step in the right direction. So I went out on a limb and order from them. They have order cancellation with 10% penalty which is a bummer. Looks like they do a ton of Hot toys releases.

    At this point, I have come to understand my addiction and accept it as a part of my life.

    Coincidentally, I was working late last night and remembered that the Lohengrin was going up on P-Bandai today. I put my pre-order in literally minutes after it went up. I just checked P-Bandai right now and was shocked this item was already sold out. It seems a low number of the Lohengrin was allocated to P-Bandai. I'm just glad I was awake at the right time when my memory about this item kicked in. Sucks for those that waited just a few hours. I sort of thought Bandai releasing their stuff on P-Bandai would mark the end of rushing to pre-order stuff in the dead of night for us US collectors. Seems that was premature.

    It's safe to assume now that US P-Bandai Metal Build allocation is on the very low side.

    I’m amazed they left allocation at 4 for a small run if that is the case.

    On the reverse side I’m still wishing I could have picked up more than one MB strike during the expo!

    I don’t know why but I just bought a Lohengrin Launcher lol. I mean I do have a MB red astray but it deserves to be on the blue! Ah well, I’ll see if I decide to keep it or not once it releases…

    edit: lmao I just managed to scoop up a launcher from the US site :lol . I’m guessing someone canceled their order. In any case I have 2 now but unsure if I want 2 so I’ll have to think about it…
    You would think that after seeing the demand for the Strike Rogue they’d ask for extra stock considering how SEED MB’s and their accessories sell within a day. The only SEED MB that never sold out on P-Bandai was the Hana I believe but even then that didn’t sell out on any of the eastern P-Bandai sites. And given that Bandai is willing to sell 4 per person max they would make it all to order. It would still sell out within the hour but at least more people that want it are likely to get it.

    $15! Must be nice!
    Wondering how many people actually fall for this kind of scam?

    That's a deposit. What's not good is the actual price they'll charge is not disclosed. So, still kinda scam-ish in a sense.

    To add onto what Flapjacks said
    It is not a scam site, but if you look at the other Bandai products they have, there is a slight mark-up, plus shipping costs. Look at the Dynames R3 for example.

    If you order from them, you WILL get the item, but you unfortunately won't know the price until it is either in stock, or will be in short order.

    Got my 10th Anniversary Strike today. I can now understand the hype behind this one. Part of me wishes I preordered Rouge now
