That's not a bad price either.

It's really going to depend on the exchange rate on the day they go to charge your card... could be a good price at that point, or really bad! That is one of the dangers of ordering from Japan and not a US seller, but what are you going to do?

Well let's just see if other online stores will have it up for preorder. I'm still thinking SSC will have it. And hopefully they will annouce it on the newsletter.

Oh yeah, it's the bomb Alien. Sadly it's way to pricey.

What's the problem? I don't see anything...

They will begin taking preorders on August 2nd.

Note: HobbyLink Japan will begin accepting regular preorders for this item on or about August 2.

I didn't get it either. I gues it is that he wanted to order now.

Before, the page said that they were finished taking preorders for the item.

I think they always start with a page that basically looks like the preorders are ended, when really they haven't started yet. That is the biggest problem I have with HLJ however, is how late they list stuff. By the time they list this in August, every place else will have listed it and probably sold out. Of course, that is also a good thing about them... they are a great last resort if you don't get something ordered some place else.

...and the preorders have closed at Hobby Search.

Exactly, the page stated that there was an "order stop" for this item. You know, the little blue square with a white x...
So now they have it back on pre-order.
That is very strange.
Whatever, I pre-ordered at yesasia. The shipping from Japan would've come close to what the yesasia price is with free shipping. And right now I don't want to count on SST putting it up.

Not a very clever move by HLJ if you ask me.

Re: Medicom RAH Alien 2008!

So is it weird that there are no pics of Medicom's alien from the Tokyo show?
Everything else seems to be there and then some, but no alien...

Re: Medicom RAH Alien 2008!

I don't think so. Maybe they wanted to keep everything in wraps about him.

I was thinking that, I figured if no one posted them it must not be there, too bad, would have been nice.

Re: Medicom RAH Alien 2008!

Also, the Medi-Alien is selling out on the asian retailers. If it doesn't show up soon on SST, I'd suggest to pre-order it on hlj as soon as it shows up just to be on the safe side. I think it'll sell out pretty fast there as well...

Re: Medicom RAH Alien 2008!

Any new news?

Re: Medicom RAH Alien 2008!

After waiting for SS for ages, I bite the bullet and pre-ordered it with one of the HK ebay sellers.
