Yes, they charge you the damn paypal 4%... I often deal Toywave for limited items, but I try to find allways a cheaper solution for the extra item I am diggin'. IUsually, am using a lot Anime Export for shopping because they arrange me a lot with combine shipping and I never had custom fee to pay with them (if you go by toywave, ask to declare for lower price, they will do it). @ Gt3ian : do you have any HK seller with good prices for limited items ? ... will sell like a gold in couple of years on ebay. -> I am completlist with the soc line (except that damn GX-01RB) and this collection will never ends in the bay... It will probably end in a museum for a donation...

I am not a completlist, cause can't afford to be one!! ;D I am missing the damn GX-01RB, 01RG, 05, 05B, 24DVD, 44 stand alone version.

If I had an extra GX-01R I'd bust a few parts off of it and turn it into Prototype EZ. Fugetaboutit, I'd just turn it into Prototype MZ instead. ;D zozo-Magengar Okay, I got the GX-45. Then I got the GX-47. Theeen came the GX-49 and I got it too. Oh, snap! they came out with the GX-45A... sure I'll bite again. But wait, here's the GX-49G... damn you Bandai! So I got it too. However, unless I can buy it for the 5800 yen it was advertised, I am going to resist this thing withy all my might!!! Come on, it doesn't even have a head or chest plates! At least the GX-45A came with a half and half Koji/Mazinger head!!! }\

I preordered this in November and just picked it up last night. Anyway, I was thinking of getting another one, but after seeing this photo, I changed my mind.

i do not think it is worth it for that price, you can get the GX-45 and 49 and have two very nice fully complete looking mazingers on your shelf for the price of this one, this is a pass for me.

You're absolutely right that it's not worth that kind of money, especially when considering someone mentioned a 5800 Yen original price tag...................but the voices made me buy it anyway!!!! ;D

Well, after all, it is a rendition of an incompleted prototype robot Energer-Z... ...in the Shin Maz epic, it was being tested while it was still under construction. I was bewildered that such an unfinished prototype was able to function at such maximum performance during its first encounter with Dr.Hell on Bardos Island.
If it weren't for the price tag, I'd think about getting it. But I'd still feel weird having an "incomplete prototype robot" standing beside any of my Mazzies... ...I just know one day they'd beat him up while I'm away at work or out somewhere... My Mazzies have become territorial: I come home always finding my other robots toppled over or de-shelved while my Mazzies, even the RAHs, are still standing on the shelf. ;D

Problem is that you don't know the real numbers of production. 500 pieces? 1000 pieces? 5000? So every seller on the second market can make you pay the price he wants! I got mine on YJP for 9000 JPY + fees.
