I was able to order them at transistormosfet, just to see the order pending, pending, pending. Asked them, and they have no stock. And to get my money back I have to wait 29 days?!

Guys, Tokin VFETs are still available from Tomo on eBay. They are still far cheaper than the cheapest 300B. Don’t waste time and money waiting for these to show up. Get what you can. Tomo is reliable. And use Schaded FETs if you don’t want to splurge on real VFETs.
Transistormosfet does not sell them, at least not right now. I am not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if he'd just be checking out the market for those parts.
About 2 weeks ago the 2087C seemed to be available at transistormosfet.com so I placed an order for 4...PayPal hasn’t billed me yet and the vendor isn’t responding to my email. Oh well, hopefully somebody will get a lead one day and the greedy ones won’t buy them all..🤪
Yeah, been there done that. Two emails went unresponded & then I noticed the original charge had been reversed without a word. Waste of time.
Ok i know is silly to ask but i will ask anyway. Do these look legit? i have no way of testing them. They are 'pull-outs'.
Hi
I sure hope they are.
I’ve been trying to locate some for a while but the stores seem to be sold out.
Good luck

base on what ra7 mentioned about the font used for 'Tokin', i chickened out. Requested to cancel order and is processing for refund now.
Just for the record, the parts marked "802743" several people have posted photos of here - while no doubt real SIT - are most probably remarked; to the best of my knowledge, Tokin didn't use a simple date code to mark their parts but rather a unique serial number sequence, so you shouldn't really see the same number (802743) on multiple parts. Attached is a photo of what I received from Wakamatsu in Japan while they still had stock - I have no doubt the parts are genuine, the wonky print notwithstanding. This leads me to believe the picture in post #328 shows genuine parts, but ra7's warning still applies ==> "Beware, many people did not get what was pictured."

I wish i have the capability but unfortunately i am unable to. i see that 2 lots have been sold, maybe wait for their feedback?
I believe I messaged that seller last week and he said 'no stock'
edit Yes, I check with them on 10/14.

$178 is the “Feel Out” price, of course no stock. The more traffic the seller see’s for these will increase the price more, then stock will be released for the selling frenzy 🤪
