Sometimes I think things that are public knowledge to us, are known by everyone. I get reminded quite often this isn't the case.
The following is a link the main distributor of Japanese Airsoft products called Mojii/Sanken:
http://www.mojji.com/en/fax/fax.htmThis is a listing of when items are being created/reproduced, the release dates and MSRP. These release dates are at least couple weeks earlier than when these items are actually available outside of Japan.
Japan does NOT export any airsoft directly outside to the U.S., so everything that Japan manufactured airsoft, goes through middle men from Hong kong or other countries. Thus the delay for us.
