So, we know that this costume coming out this week is a mistake now right? since the "hong kongians" haven't received them yet?
Our resident dealer that's announced arrival this week hasn't been able to confirm or deny it yet as far as I know.

It won't be coming in next week. The HT dealer in my country is listing an October/November release date now. Being a HT dealer, they get the latest news update straight from the horse's mouth.

We'll I'm just going by what Joe told me, and if everything he's said is accurate, than it should be coming next week, but it seems far fetched
If it's been pushed back for changes and refinements all the better! Besides it lets me recover from payments.
However...
Yeah... that's what really puzzles me, Joe said he had the invoices for them...? or I've misread this...
As far as I understand, Joe's been invoiced by Hot Toys, it's the only Batman item he should be invoiced for right now, the shipment is expected to get to him this coming week, and his customers are being invoiced for the figure.
I have a funny feeling Joe is right, and the other shop(s) perhaps maybe got it wrong... because ActionHQ would have changed the date by now for October/November.
As last month The Joker was marked down 21st or 25th August, then changed to 25th September which is currently listed.
As ActionHQ charged me 1 - 2 weeks in advance before The Joker came in and shipped. Will be interesting to see what happens next week or the following.
It's a curious situation, it's unusual that there's no sign it's out overseas yet will be in hands of dealers this week. Usually some overseas group has them shipping or people with them in hand, very odd.

I believe there are some confusing or mistake on Joe's side cause there is no way you guys will get it before us (Asia).

I'm pretty sure there is a chance that ActionHQ hasn't updated their date yet. The evidence really points to a mixup with Joe's order. What always happens is that the official HT store in HK, Toyhunters, gets their shipment first and then other dealers get it about 1-2 weeks after that. So since Toyhunters hasn't gotten their shipment I find it unlikely that Joe will them this week.
I'm guessing that there is a good likelyhood that it will be the "original costume" version. My local dealer is getting another run of these figures and they are coming in this week.

aw who am i kidding there has been a mix, joe hurry back and confirm this, dont make me wait like this over false hope!
Guess we'll soon find out. https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1152960&postcount=58
Hopefully HT didn't mess up and fullfil Joe's order as a second wave of Begins figures and not the TDK suit.

I know Joe is on the up and up, but it would really annoy me if I paid him and it ended up being a mistake. He really needed to confirm the situation with HT before telling people to send funds. I am postitive that these are going to be the BB version, even though he didnt have an order for them. I know it will all work out eventually.

I do believe this 'Joe' character is probably right also, as my supplier is telling me it's a late September release aswell. BTW guys, why on ebay a couple of weeks back did i see some of these, 'ready to ship'? Are they already finished or what? So strange, i wish i would have kept them in my ebay thing, perhaps i was just misreading it, but i remember seeing a number of different sellers having some of these new costume HT batmans, and they were in stock ready to ship, it musnt have been me misreading it, because i was going to buy one, but didnt want to risk ( you know buying from an Asian shop on ebay for the first time can be a little sketchy ) so decided to wait until my supplier got them in. argh who knows, already preordered now from my guy
