Hmm, Update on the Guardian Force Pendant... I could be wrong, but I think we've been jostled!
It would appear the pendant was supposed to be released today, but I checked HLJ and it's now listed as discontinued...
Now, given that HLJ is the only place I've found that had these listed (Not even on eBay or YJA) and the speed at which I heard the order stop was slapped on it, anyone else think this mighty suspicious?

lol It's probably like Valga Mk II or whatever it's called. How many months has that thing been pushed back already??? >.>;; If it's already marked as discontinued, I can think of three reasons: 1. The item was discontinued for real, but due to it's popularity I find this VERY hard to believe. Why would TOMY not produce the necklace seeing the rabid amounts of pre-order on HLJ and such? 2. Only a limited number were created and hlj has not continued to sell because they filled or didn't even fill the preorders they had taken. 3. It was pushed back further as it seems many zoids related material has been lately. Only time will tell, but to be honest I'm very surprised there hasn't been any news on more of those anime-accurate kits lately. Were they really selling that poorly? I suppose the price is to blame.  |

TakaraTomy were not the manufacturers for the pendant. Also, we have no evidence that the order stop for it was due to a mass amount of orders. Even if it was ltd, it doesn't explain why HLJ were the only ones who had it, or why it hasn't even shown up on eBay or YJA In this case, the release date would've been pushed back, not the item listed as discontinued There is the possibily that this was not licensed by TT or the manufacturers of the anime, and it was removed due to copyright issues, but I don't know how sound that is... |

Oh dear, you could be right! Though dare I ask who is stupid enough to do an unlicensed release? I mean I think ya just might get caught, especially on the 10th year anniversary of the anime!
I could have sworn I saw the necklace on preorder some place else. But of course I can't find it or remember the specific website! XD
Ah well, it's not like I was going to buy it. WAY to expensive for my tastes.

It's just a possible cause, but probably unlikely. Though, having said that, HLJ have had this problem before. They had to recall some special colour kit parts for some model series, because the company were only licenced to sell them at a convention. The ones they were supplyling to HLJ weren't part of the deal so they had to take them off sale and recall them. |
