^ Unfortunately, it's not even on some parts. The parts that get more exposure to the light yellow faster. Before I packed him due to the moving, his wings haven't entirely yellowed yet. Yellowing sucks, it's a curse to white / light gray figures. I don't want to buy a replacement because I'll probably be facing the same demise down the road. Didn't this yellowing happened only on one of the versions of the SoC Dancouga? I don't remember exactly if it was the GX-13 or the 13R, but it only happened with one of them.

Mine is the first reissue of the regular GX-13 - and I believe we're derailing the thread too far

Well... this ended up being more expensive than I thought... doesn't even look that good, if you ask me (when in separate form). Maybe if it was like half the price they plan to ask for this, it wouldn't seem so unreasonable.

I'll wait and get it via Amazon, like I did the Dino Getters... for $72 each shipping included! }D

Nah, I'll get it for $72. It's all a matter of timing (like I got the SOC Daltanious for $37 USD). }D

Wait... TMZ got a Daltanious for 30something bucks as well?
Am I the only sucker who paid 5-6 times that amount?
sorry for the OT

Am I the only sucker who paid 5-6 times that amount? sorry for the OT Count me in on that...Being so twitchy with preorders, I almost never "wait" and usually pay the full price instead of getting anything in the bargain bin. Only that resembled bargain bin was me scoring an SoC Zambot for $99 once from a close-out sale at a comic store here. I mean, if you wait...well, you risk not being able to get one and at times, paying alot more. Dunno.

Besides, I have no control over when something hits discount, it could easily go on sale and sell out during a timeframe where I cannot afford any kind of frivolities. It's just too much of a gamble.

Agree with you guys on that. I tend to PO stuff i really want without giving a second though whether it will go into the discount bin. Better to secure something you really want then to regret later on haha. Did encounter some misses thought namely ,the SRC Mazinger (Getter paintwork), i PO a pair as soon as it hit NY but found out several weeks later it was going for 50% less at NY!

Sorry Sentinel but, looking at how horrible the individual bots look this set is no way worth $400.... $400? Thats SOC region, and you are assured of a quality product. Sentinel is not serious on the price are they? Agree on how undesirable the individual looks, although i could actually live with the mammoth (not sure of the actual name), but earlier pictures of the combined mode is nice though. If that is the case, i rather they come out with something un-transformable, but articulated and cheaper.

I read somewhere they're going to make a transformable Black wing for this figure. Based on the Dengeki pics, maybe the Black Wing will be sold separately? Hope it can combine with SOC Dancougar if ever.
At $400 I'll pass on this one. I do wish they made Dancougar Nova instead.

I wasn't going to buy this anyway regardless of the price, but this is probably the most unimpressive modern representation for individual combiner robots I have ever seen. I don't even know if I can say they border on acceptable. Maybe they should have just made the figure in combined mode posable, with no ability to separate.
The combined mode, while looking really nice, just didn't feel like dancouga to me. I like vintage/anime style, which I think the SOC is a little closer to, so maybe the sentinel sculpt is a little too modern with a little bit of a nova feel as far as its details go?
Rememeber that the original Popy/Godaikin dancougar has its own issues as well. Even for its time I know people who love it and people who absolutely hate it.
I think overall any company that chooses to undertake a dancouga project has some confidence - because not only is it an intricate figure, but the four individual bots are three different sizes and are all triple changers. It's not impossible, but it's also not the easiest design palette to start with either. There is some complexity there.
I just didn't see this figure turning out this way when we initially saw the combined prototype.

I agree. That's why I will not pre-order it. The individual components are horrible! Like they took a step back in the engineering, instead of improving on what's been done. But, I will get it when it hits $72 USD on Amazon. }D

And to add to my previous post:
Does the mammoth tank have no robot mode?? Or has it not been shown yet??

It does have a robot mode, try clicking on the link I posted. Gold
