You won't find it on sale as it does not go on sale in Japan until August, and way too early to say if it will be offered outside of Japan.

Hi Chris, He`s coming on a treat, WTG Could you give us something in a few pics to scale him too. He looks tiny in the pics, but I know he`s not. Keep up the good work. He`s growing on me.  Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hi Chris Not sure if we call the model an him or her or an it? Either way is a fantastic model and I bet your having a blast building it and cannot wait until the day you talk to it. I remember many years back collecting a part work to make the equivalent of a motorised mouse - how the technology has changed so much over the years. The creature I built was called cybot - it promised to change the world but sadly this was short of the mark. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Robots
This little creature while being cute is something a million miles away from cybot. Look forward to your further updates. Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling

Hi all
Well getting there really slowly with this build. Looking online part 8 is on it's way so the head will be finished all but the motors.
Have been looking on my calender and if the issues go back to weekly as they said they should it's still going to take us until Christmas 2015 to finish. Was just wondering if anybody has heard whether we are going back to weekly (4 a month) issues and also has anybody else had a project that has taken so long.
My problem is I am too impatient and don't like the wait between issues especially when only 1 arrives.
Happy building everyone.
Cheers.
John.

Chris It's going to be a fairly large model when finished then. I just cannot help thinking how my cat would take to him - would be interesting to see. Hope they get your supply problems resolved soon and you can press on with your build. Happy modelling Tony Happy Modelling

Hi all.
I have just checked my online account details and it is showing that issue 9 has been despatched along with another slow down letter.
I can only assume that they have not managed to sort out the supply issues and we are staying monthly. 70 issues at one a month is going to take nearly six years to build. Don't know about anyone else but personally I feel like giving it up as a bad job. If anyone knows how long is going to last it would be good to know.
Can't see why there is a problem over in Japan they have finished their build so it's not like the parts don't exist.
Cheers everyone.
John.

Following the delivery of Issue 11 around the 15th October, it is hoped to return to the normal schedule of 4 issues per month.

This looked like such a promising build! Are the delays really that behind still?

Not sure if we should call the model an "him", "her" , or "it" but either way your pressing on well. Part 9 already - how time flashes by. Have you named your model yet ? Still wish I could have signed up to this as I can just imagine how the cats would react Happy Modelling

Hi Tony, I think I will just name him 'Robi' as that seems to suit him. I really hope they resolve the issue with the issues.  At this rate I will be 48 when the build is complete! I will not give up though. As Magnus Magnusson once said....I've started, so I will finish!! Thanks for looking in on my build, Chris

Good on you Chris, don't give up - it would be like abandoning a pet, the little guy has a character now  I'm sure this will speed up soon for you. Steve

Chris I am sure they are doing all possible to resolve any undue delays with your issues coming through. Certainly don't give up on Robi at this point because from what I saw early on its a brilliant piece of kit when complete. Happy Modelling
