Just got the Sentinel Dancouga and it is absolutly amazing. Just wondering if it is worth getting Black wing? I would only be getting Black Wing to display on the back of Dancouga.

Black Wing is a very great figure just on his own. To be honest,the addition it has to Dancouga has you taking his signature cannon on his back out for it. So it depends if you like the look of Final Dancouga or not.

I just got Black Wing in : seriously what's wrong with sentinel ? The waist ball joint is very loose and supports badly the weight of the upper body. If I connect the wings-tail-backpack, I have to pose with a certain angle (5 or 10 degres max) bending front to keep him like straight. Too bad the stand attaches to its bottom part of bassin and not on backpack like the Sentinel Mazinkaizer stand does (wich is damn loose on waist too!!!).
Sculpt is amazing and articulation are legion but seriously... The waist... C'mon... This toys are expensive.
Eagle fighter is beautiful but arms are not really "tabbing" when transformed in head, it's like long neck hair haha.

Why doesn't Eagle Fighter have its own thread? It's such a piece of crap.
Random; ordered a second dancouga real color. Displaying both regular backpack and the final combined with black wing with retail Dancouga and Black Wing in the middle. I think it'll be pretty slick.

That's kind of pricey. I got the original for $200 when HLJ had one of their sales.

Also, got a deal this week on a sentinel og dancouga, og black wing, and dino getter for $375 shipped. I had to bite. I may sell the dancouga and black wing but want to see how two real colors and two originals look displayed together.

I know you were talking about the real color version. The reason why I believe it's pricey is because it's still essentially just a repaint of a toy I bought for $200. Just my opinion bro. And hey, it's your money.

And hey, it's your money. You buying a used retail one for cheaper than retail doesn't make me buying a new, limited version at its retail price "expensive." I got a steal whereas you paid what you should have. If you don't understand the difference between the two items outside of simply colors then I don't understand why you'd try to pass judgement in the first place rather than asking questions and actually learning, "bro." How's it pricey, guy? I'm not talking about the original. I'm talking about the limited Real color version. Also, got a deal this week on a sentinel og dancouga, og black wing, and dino getter for $375 shipped. I had to bite.

In fact, you'll be the first person i message if i decide to post it up.

I didn't buy a used retail one but a new retail one on sale. Like I said, just my opinion. No need to get upset about it.

Why is it that posters like you post "sly" remarks but when you are responded to in kind, you attempt to insinuate that non-existent emotion is in place? But I'll play your game. Check it out;
I just bough a second retail (inferior version) of Dancouga, Black Wing, and Dino Getter ALL for $375 shipped. The values are different but for simplicity's sake, let's divide it by 3 and use that for each item. $375 divided by 3 is $125 shipped for each item.
Since I bought my (inferior version) Sentinel Dancouga SHIPPED for $75 less than you did the base price, I determine that you were ripped off. Sorry you got ripped off, bro. Don't be mad, bro.

I know for a fact that Ozmalee got his brand new for the $200 price range from HLJ clearance sale. Takin about the regular color version here. Not the real color version. I don't think he was trying to be sly when he mentioned that the prices for the real color version being high, that's his opinion cause he was comparing it to the regular edition that he got at clearance prices. I side with him in that my opinions on recolor, limited production run isn't worth it the price hike. Regardless if I or anyone thinks it's over priced, Bottomline is collectors like that color variant, and enough collectors buy into it ensuring that it doesn't go on clearance sale like the regular edition.

I know for a fact that Ozmalee got his brand new for the $200 price range from HLJ clearance sale. I never denied him getting it new or getting at said price and responded to the updated information when given. As for the rest of what you wrote; it doesn't make much sense as the limited version sold for nearly the same price as the original on release. Comparing a regular price to clearance isn't even logical let alone a basis to say the price on one was "hiked." wow , that's a hella a deal. Seriously, man. At that point it was a no brainer. I can flip it for over half the lot price if I wanted to.

Let me simplify it for you. Saying "it is expensive" is just a generalized blanket statement. Now I can't speak for the other guy but me saying so doesn't imply that you overpaid or me insinuating that you were wrong to pay the price you paid. To me, the original Sentinel Dancouga was expensive. Enough collectors though so, To the point where HLJ placed it on clearance. My opinion was that the original price was high and judging it against my standards, it is expensive. Some collectors though the same. So for those collectors that got it at the clearance price, this toy is never worth the original MSRP or whatever aftermarket price it is at now. Getting it at the reduce clearance price of $200 is what this toy is worth to them.
When it comes to color variants, most collectors don't think they are worth it simply because it's the same dam thing painted differently. Realistically, it doesn't justify a price increase. But what I think and even if most collectors don't think it is worth it, at this point doesn't matter. Because the piece sold out. So regardless of me or anyone thinking or saying it is expensive, it doesn't matter. At the end of the day, you have an awesome Real Color Sentinel Dancouga. I thank you for sharing and posting pictures. This is a public forum. I think Sentinel Figure are expensive. And that's it.

Now I can't speak for the other guy You actually began conversing with me by speaking for the other guy and stating his intent. I was pretty clear in my response to you and am failing to see the confusion and what I implied you'd stated that you didn't. Also, is pretty mind boggling that you're attempting to speak for a collective majority's opinion about an item that sold out lightening fast. This is ridiculous.
