Thanks for the link. It's a pretty good price but it's still a little too much. I hardly don't know why this isn't down in the $150-180 range before shipping.

Unfortunately, at 19,600y, I don't think that's a sweet deal at all. Still overpriced and you still have to factor in express-shipping only via EMS/FEDEX cost.

Well, HLJ at least has the private warehouse feature so you can have it shipped anytime in the next 60 days. Also, looking over places like Mandarake, the old Aoshima version of the skull-bow Arcadia costs almost the same in the second hand market.

Man, this thing is a lot bigger than I expected. Maybe it's just having had the Aoshima blue Arcadia on my shelf for so long, but I don't think even Andromeda was this large.

I love it. The sculpt and paint is much sharper than on the Aoshima, but that's probably just because of the larger size.
The only thing I don't like is the location of the power switch. I can understand they probably did it for aesthetic reasons, but it's so close to the rear stand that you pretty much have to pick up the whole thing to access it. GX-57 and 58 both had it in a far more accessible location in front of the battery compartment.
I'm also surprised that they didn't do the gimmick with the turrets here where they all rotate in unison. They have small notches in them so they only fit in their sockets one way.

Hi everybody, I just received my gx 67 and explore everything function of it. But I didn't fond the function allowing to wake up from sleep mode. Could you tell me if such a function exist or if I must switch it off and on again... Thanks a lot

Yeah, you have to switch it off and on again - which is why I dislike the location of the power switch so much.

Really ? No hidden function ? It's stupid to have a sleep mode without having a wake up function ... It lots all its interest of having a light system...

Thanks Have a similar version, but without the knife. If I were you, I'll go with the SOC. Aoshima's is good, has a lot of metal, but it is smaller, like 3/4 of Bandai's length, and the sculpt is not as detailed nor sharp. It was nice for its time, but SOC has out done it in pretty much everyway (maybe except not as much metal). I don't think the SOC warrants a buy if you already have a Aoshima. But if you are getting your first Arcadia, go with the SOC. The 999 Express is always a nice bonus.

Well I always associated the bow knife more with the blue Arcadia rather than the green one myself...I think the green one used the knife only in the post-2000 OVAs.
