Yeah, February is going to be brutal on me with at least $1K being laid out on Chogokin. But some of the best to ever be released it appears with Metal Build Mazinger Z, DX Combattler V and of course this bad boy. Oh, add another $260 to that. I have already paid for it but GX-48k Big O will be released that month too. Feb for Combattler as going through eKnight.

Looking at prices so far, it appears that Anime Export is right now the cheapest of the batch. But, Nippon-Yasan has yet to post the preorder. So, it's possible they'll be the same or a bit less. I'll hold off until early next week... Yeah, but you have to pay upfront with AE. Not generally an issue TBH. I like their PoL system which is a nice perk.

What does The Pile of Loot do for you over any other warehousing system? Sorry, not sure exactly what you mean...? But, the thing about Anime Export's PoL system is that they will store it almost for infinity until you tell them to ship it. So, yeah...I don't have my SoC Golion or the Megazord yet because I'm still waiting for a couple more things to arrive before I click "send". The only other place that comes close is BBTS but their PoL has a time-stamp like HLJ's...after elapsed time, you MUST ship regardless. I mean, there are benefits to this too since you'll never forget. Not sure if I answered your question. Otherwise, of the other vendors I regularly buy from, no one else has a storage feature.

Are you based in Canada or US? If the latter, at least you have alternatives like BBTS and Toysource that have cheap shipping. Up here in Socialism-land, I got the mercy of $$$$$ shipping rates regardless. Grr.

BBTS is grossly overpriced almost always and Toysource I can't say anything about. eKnight seems to be the best of all worlds, at least if you are in the US.

Looks like Anime-Export is the cheapest of the online vendors.
Nippon-Yasan has had ample days to add this to their preorder page and still nothing. I suspect they are not carrying the Raideen then.

be extra careful dealing with NY their business strategy is taking off some of the MSRP but they add it back in the shipping price for example a figure price is a $100 they offer it for lets say $85 but that $15 goes to the already high shipping cost, so you end up paying more without knowing it

But, per my prior post...their PoL system is convenient. And even if it ends up being as much as AmiAmi has it listed, the fact I can have it stored until I want it shipped is kinda nice.

NY have a POL ? to be honest with you the last time i shopped with NY was when they released the SRC Grendizer & Spazer set (about 2 years ago) it just that their prices was a bit high or they dont have what im looking for, also not so good POL so kindly correct me if im wrong, from what i remember their POL system is not like AE or HLJ, they will hold an item for you until the other item arrive then they will ship them together ? i went to their site and tried to find information but it was the same info that I've read before EDIT the last thing i bought from NY was SRC Mazinkaiser SKL Final Count Version, i just broke down and got the Metal Robot Knight Gundam (hope i wont regret it lol) tamashii.jp/item/12199/best thing about NY that they let you choose from many currencies with come very handy
