Good price. Cancelled my BBTS order for Energer. (BBTS seems to now lag 2 months or so behind the rest of the world when it comes to Fewture releases. And still waiting on the replacement Shin Getter wings.

Thanks! Ordered one. By the way, use the coupon code FB_ANGOLZPAGE_1010 to save $5. It's from Angolz's Facebook page.

You know, it wouldn't be a bad idea to start a thread and post those coupon codes found in facebook. I've noticed that a lot if not all of the online shops have a facebook or tweeter page/account but it never occured to me that they would put coupons there! I'm not a social network type, as visiting this page is the closest I like to be, but there's gotta be many members here that like that stuff and could definitely help us fuddy duds out... }D

I passed on this. I dont have any good reason other than that I have the silver mazinger already, money and lastly keeping the size of my collection down to a minimum. Im a casual collector so I dont want to have a room full. Id like to have MAYBE 20-25 at the most. I doubt Ill actually be able to stay under 40 though lol..
I did get the Iron Z just becuase I wanted a version of energer in my collection.

Yeah, if I can go back in time, I would get that Great Z in a heart beat.
I passed on it also at the time because I wasn't much of alternate Mazinger fan and I couldn't afford the $300(?) entrance fee.... too bad because that is one beautiful piece of art. I can't stomach paying current $600-$1000 .....

^^ I would hope you like whatever silver mazinger is since you said above that you bought it. Yeah, if I can go back in time, I would get that Great Z in a heart beat. I passed on it also at the time because I wasn't much of alternate Mazinger fan and I couldn't afford the $300(?) entrance fee.... too bad because that is one beautiful piece of art. I can't stomach paying current $600-$1000 ..... I looked at some of those current listings for this and saw one for $900, and I really wonder who the hell would pat a grand for this. It's fantastic, but not a grand of fantastic. Jesus.

It's from the old Godaikin and Popy lines, you had the big DX versions of toys like Voltron but you also had smaller less expensive version. So DX usually means Deluxe while ST means Standard.

blah, you can still pickup the repaint version at reaonable price. Persoanlly, you cant always go with pictures alone. They look great on photos but when i got the repaints of them i was like not as good as i was expecting it to be or visioned it. Mainly not as heavy as Getter 1 and the legs feels hollow. It's still a great piece but not as good as getter 1 good.

Chen, that makes a lotta sense. I used to collect power rangers and they'd use the DX term on their bigger, feature-heavy zords. gokinrob - Exactly. I'm an oddball in that I can't stand the classics designs of these bots. @heta - I don't think its as easy as say, "Blah just get a repaint!", because the colors are significantly different and the add ons are different as well.

hetabattousai, I'm getting the impression you are not in the Fewture camp! It is something way different than the original robots (be it Maz, Getters, Getter Gs) looked like.
