Not sure if posted but these just popped up on the Mizuno Forum, damn great looking finish to these putters and some interesting work on the top line of the face

So?  If you really want one, just order one from Tour Spec Golf or from an Ebay seller.  It wont be cheap but its not THAT much more expensive (mostly the shipping costs are pricey) and you'll get it in 2-4 days.  Ive got a MP Craft S103 that I bought used from an Ebay seller in Japan and honestly, it got here faster than if I had bought it from most U.S. based sellers.  Bottom line, if you really want one theres ways around the fact that Mizuno doesnt offer them for the U.S. market.
Im facinated by the milled forged aspect.  That should make for a REALLY soft feel.

Call me crazy there are actually people who like to try something before they buy it first.

Mizuno is done in the U.S. putter market.  After all the money they lost in the deal with Bettinardi they have absolutely no interest in getting into putters any time soon.

Indeed Mizuno has tried several times to establish themselves in the US market with putters, Scotty Cameron, TP Mills and then Bettinardi, all great putters... all with disappointing sales. The reality for Mizuno outside of Asia is that every category besides irons has been a struggle. I have been a contracted Mizuno player for 20+ years and love the brand, just shows how tough it is to establish yourself in lines outside of what you are "known" for.

I would kill for a MP A303, that neck is what I wanted in a mallet putter.

The Mzuno BC3 has a similar shape to the A303.

The Odyssey Protype Tour #7 is quite similar.

Here are the pics of the putter. I am going today to putt with it and am very excited. The finish appears to be pretty durable, not an oil can finish. Enjoy the pics.
