It’s available to order on Amazon in the states, but some of the pics look 4I to me. I could just be paranoid.
Mine is arriving Friday - it’s an impulsive purchase for me as I have scaled back my hardware buying hugely - and have a new born so basically no time to use it, but on paper it’s my ideal sampler so will be stacking it up against the 404 to see if it’s what I need in my life.
Edit: Also gone from UK Amazon, I checked out as it was in my basket but clicking on the item took me to an error page.
I’d take the delivery estimate with a pinch of salt, if they aren’t supposed to sell them yet it might be in limbo for a while.

I heard it was meant to be released on 8th April, and that today was just a showcase of the sample. I be suprised if you get it tomorrow, I assume Amazon will cancel?
Some people already have it out for delivery apparently, so we might see users uploading before akai even drop the launch pr media

I bought one from Amazon UK when it popped up saying only 13 left in stock (Completely impulsive 
) - hope we do get em tomorrow. Didn’t have the option for by 22:00 or whatever it usually says
Took the plunge and ordered one on amazon uk earlier, but it’s arriving on Friday. Free returns if I’m unhappy with it, what’s not to like?

What is Amazon like with returns with items that cost over £300 odd. I done returns on smaller items but don’t want my account blocked either.
I have returned countless stuff on Amazon, pricey audio stuff too. As long as you’re returning stuff boxed and in decent shape you’re fine. It does take a little longer to be assessed than a cable though.

Thanks, I never returned anything pricey before so I was worried how strict they were on that front.
Is today official release date to buy?
They process tens of millions of dollars in sales a day, £300 is sofa change to them

I’ve one ready to collect but needs to be officially available to buy. Local distributor has them but they can’t be bought until officially on sale
Bingo. They let me keep a 500 dollar clothes steamer at the time because the freight shipping out was more than their margin. Amazon is flexible. The clothes steamer has a couple of dings during shipment and they just said how about I keep it and we call it a day?
So there will be B stock MPC samples when they realise that 400 should have been put on a live 3. Haha. Less than 40 minutes before the embargo is removed

Thanks guys for the replies, family uses Amazon a lot so getting the account banned would be troublesome and very unpopular in the house.

These things are selling quickly. Only 12 left at Amazon US and the expected delivery date has moved from tomorrow to Friday.
