In a follow up to the previously reported rumor that Tomy Takara has cancelled Device Label Blaster, I just got an email from HLJ.com saying that not only was my Blaster pre-order canceled, but also my back-ordered Ravage despite having already been released. I assume (but could be wrong) that the two mice (which I did not have ordered) have been discontinued as well once whatever number they've manufactured has been released.

Here's an excerpt from the email I got from HLJ. The top part is the cancellation notice, the second part is the items they removed from my pre-orders:

Thank you very much for your order. Unfortunately we have received word from the manufacture for the following product that the release of this item(s) has been indefinitely postponed. No new release date has been set at this time. Item: Takara Tomy Broadcast operating USB HUB (TKT34244)

Item Code Item Name Quantity Price Extended Price
TKT34242 Ravage operating USB HUB 1 ¥3,610 ¥3,610
TKT34244 Broadcast operating USB HUB 1 ¥5,225 ¥5,225

As result of this, we are taking the step of cancelling all customers orders for this that have been placed at this time. Should the manufacturer announce at firm release date for this item again in the future, we will once again begin accepting orders for it.

Please accept our apologies for this inconvenience and disappointment. We look forward to your continued support of HLJ.
