Hey welcome to the forum. I am the Forum Support member for the USA side of things. If you have any forum or model related questions feel free to ask. If I don’t have the answer I will get the answer. I too have placed my order for this kit and waiting for it to start shipping as well. This kit just went up for sale not too long ago so they are probably still getting things organized and set up for shipping. The kits normally ship the week after your payment clears, depending on the day they ship the kit. Then it usually takes four days for mine to arrive, that will vary with your location. There are a couple members who ordered the kit from Japan and some have started it in the UK. So there are a few who have experience with the kit already. I actually bought the first two packs from Japan just to check it out and decided to hold off for if it came to the US. So I am really excited to start back on the kit. I am also looking forward to seeing your build. I hope you are planning to create a build diary here.

Was able to speack to Danny at Model Space yesterday and it sounds like what you said about the kit being new to the US and they are not ready with stock. Which is fine, but they should be telling people that upfront, not just leaving us hanging. He told me he will call me Monday with more info. One thing that im curious about, how many people in the US subscribed to this kit?

Would love to see more US builds of this kit. Are you planning to do anything custom with or straight build?

Never heard back from Danny at Model Space. I assume he didn't have anything to tell me.
So with that bad news. When you asked about customizing, what can be done other than weathering the ship and vehicles?

So with that bad news. When you asked about customizing, what can be done other than weathering the ship and vehicles? I have replied to your PM in reguards to the kit shipping. As far as customizing you can go the route or weathering as you listed. You can also add any detail that might be missing from the kit. A third choice would be to go wild and make it something completely new. I for one was thinking of turning it into Zeon dropship for Zaku mechs. The sky is the limit. Try checking out the current “custom TB2” thread that’s being down now. That should give you some ideas.

There was a problem at the US warehouse which was fixed yesterday and orders are shipping today. Lack of inventory was not the problem.

Wondering if anyone has gotten their first 2 sets or even a shipping notice yet?
I'm already 2 payments in with nothing in sight.

I am sending you a PM with the information I need from you. I will contact customer service and see what is going on. I know at least one person here as received the first month. My order is supposed to be shipping both month 1&2 sometime next week so we shall see.
