I love that matte finish! Sometimes I just get so aggravated looking at a robot figure done up all super glossy like it's "never been in battle". The matte finish looks good on these figures, makes them appear more convincing as robots/mechs instead of "toys"; and if the customization bug bites you, you can add some soft barely-noticeable "weathering" touch-ups to this matte finish near the edges of the parts. Looks like an interesting anime, I've never watched it but I'll check it out. I don't know how many episodes this series has. Here's some episodes at youtube... www.youtube.com/results?search_type=search_videos&search_query=Giant+Gorg&search_sort=relevance&search_category=0&page=zozo-mag

Hi. I was asking who had the best price for this. Did my post get deleted for a violation or something?

Depends from where but I always use EMS with a Tracking Number that way you can track your packages and know where it is and if something goes wrong.

35,800 yen (amiami), that is far more than I would like to pay for it. Nice... not for me, but still a beauty. I guess the "Light-up Eyes" gimmick is starting to become a trend these days, for many robot action-figures 12" or larger. zozo-mag

There's another option for SAL: Small Packet, whatever that is? SAL is basically Surface to Airmail, it's usually faster then regular mail but not as fast as EMS. It depends on the package size but in some cases EMS is cheaper then SAL, I just usually use EMS because your package takes priority and I usually get my stuff in five working days or less from Japan.

I was reading that as I researched, but this site only gave the option of SAL: Small packet. Is that the same thing?

Where did you order from? In most cases they give you a choice.

Yeah, I ordered SAL around mid January and still waiting. I'm at California. SAL takes at least two weeks for most.

Nice, but a pass. Not my style for so much $. I do have the smaller chogokin version anyway. For those contemplating SAL, many sellers are now only shipping via EMS when the item's value is over 15,000 JPY - even if the item is small. HLJ had been doing this ever since I can remember, but I think Amiami also started doing so lately. EMS is the better choice, since it is trackable, comes with insurance included, and it doesn't take long for the item to arrive. }D

It depends on the package size but in some cases EMS is cheaper then SAL, I just usually use EMS because your package takes priority and I usually get my stuff in five working days or less from Japan. I've practically used SAL for each and every one of my overseas order from Japan and Hongkong, unless I'm required to use EMS due to pricing (looking at you, HLJ!) or size/weight restrictions, and each and everyone of these shipments have reached me no problems. Sure they're a bit slow, but if you're not in a hurry, that shouldn't be too much of an issue. One other convenience that SAL shipping has is that it frequently slip through customs unnoticed!

I notice that too... I always have a feeling that customs is stricter when you use EMS. I dont do EMS often but get charged all the taxes and fees when I do use EMS. Its like customs feels if you can afford EMS then you can afford to pay extra ...

I don't know seems like he's finished. Their also doing his rival. Kinda bummed I missed the amiami pre order but with something this expensive I'd like to have a review or two first before buying.
