Any insiders know how 1701 Refit is selling worldwide?

Well, it's not selling at all yet here in Japan!
Hope to see them soon.

A member of my local model club was at Wonderfest as a vendor (John's Models) and said he sold nearly 2 cases (24 kits) during the event. He has also sold 4 or 5 kits out of his local shop since they came out. I know that doesn't reflect a huge amount of data, but it's all I've heard...

I went to my first wonderfest this year and I saw alot of people walking out with refits. I think any vendor that had them sold them all. There is a post on Hobbytalk forums that say RC2 has sold out the entire run of the kit. That doesn't mean that the distributors have sold out but it's encouraging.

Thanks for the replies. I'm really curious to see how a kit like that would do not just in the niche market, but in the general market as well.
