·I think it will be a hit but am anticipating a secondary market price no better than the ST1 level. I seriously doubt any new LE Speedy release would ever reach Snoopy levels.

I was wondering the same actually. Also, isn't the strap very similar if not the same as the leather strap in the ultraman bundle? Probably, only the tapering is quite different.
I have a suspicion that this may be a secondary-market hit, in part because of the way in which it was sold (i.e. via an Instagram post, in English) and how quickly it was gone. There is a great deal of nostalgia and love for Ultraman in Japan (going along with the tremendous watch culture) - an English-language Instagram post is not going to maximize sales in Japan or China (in part because Instagram is officially blocked in China).
There are likely some customers in what would be primary markets for this watch that didn't get one for these reasons.
So just got an email saying #619 will be delivered to me in September here in Massachusetts. Now to continue my hunt for a ST1.
Did you write in to ask them? Or did they send you the email by themselves?
