I'm a little confused here TMZ, it did not come with the option parts? Was this an accident or is this the norm? Gold I guess it is the norm. It is exactly the same as the CM's Version I already have, but with a different outer box. }| Crap... That's sad to hear. I preordered this one too. Would've been nice if they included the option parts. Gold

Yeah, it was marketed that way, but I guess they changed their mind. }|

I guess thete must be a metallic one, and it will probably be the one with extra parts... and of course, I hate metallic paints on my Super Robots. }|

Ok, I called up my local shop to clarify on the parts issue. These are the boxes for the regular and metallic versions. (They had them in stock just today). Images courtesy of Greattoysonline.com Now apparently these will NOT have the bonus parts to upgrade Gordian. As these are the "regular" releases. There are however "Italy Market Exclusive versions" coming out later on. Those will sport an additional sticker on the box indicating so. The "Italy Market Exclusive versions" will be the ones with the bonus parts (available in both Metallic and Normal colors variants). Hope that clears it up for some folks. Though I wish they didn't have to make the bonus parts versions exclusives. That sucks. On a side note, The company manufacturing these is "San"? Gold

What? No extra parts for regular release? heres one bad move to turn-off those who are "having second thoughts" on buying... why?.. because the product is very pricey. This not even a new product to begin with. ITS JUST A REISSUE.

Yes but for those who were thinking of paying 800 for a CMs one this is great news WISH I paid 425 for my metallic I have both CMs paid 750 for metallic 325 for regular I hate the way they marketed the box it's vintage like the original toy and ugly.. Guess they are after that demographic

I guess a lot of us were expecting bout 150 to 200 like Arcadia's Jeeg was. Not $425 for a reissue that doesn't include the parts which for me was the main selling point. I think I'll hold off for now. I know they put Arcadia's Jeeg on sale for $70 bucks less than what I bought mine for. Maybe it'll be the same for this guy.

So I just got my metallic version today from Angolz. It was the last one they have.
The figure is really nice. Love the proportion! I noticed though that the quality of the plastic used like for the legs, and arms, shoulder and head are not the same as you would expect from Bandai. It looks almost like those used for bootlegs. They look fragile so I will be very careful handling these parts. I never got the CM's version so I have none to compare it with. I wonder if the quality of the plastic is better on the CM version...
I am happy I finally got one but it's too pricey. Paid about $360 including EMS shipping.
Oh and most importantly... No extra parts. So Mr. Gold's info might be accurate that this will be released only for exclusively for other (European?) markets. Sort of what they did with the Jeeg's option parts that came with 2 bodies if I am not mistaken.

I just also found out that the Metallic version is actually the same the Miyazawa Limited Edition from CM. I thought I was getting the normal version...

Stop comparing everything to Bandai and you won't be disappointed. CMs plastic is great on Gordian I was wondering if plastic would be inferior on this issue

So let me get this straight. The Normal version is like CMS "Normal" version while the metallic version is the CMS Limited Miyazawa version?

@ Baron, I am not disappointed at all as I have been wanting one for quite a while. I am happy to finally get one (for less than what is the current price of the CM versions on ebay where I can still see some for sale) but I will be happier when/if I get the exclusive release with the extra parts. I'm just describing my observation/opinion.
@ OzmaLee, I can't say for sure if the Normal version is like the CM's "Normal" coz I don't have one. It is probably safe to say it is but TMZ can confirm this as he has one. But the metallic version (I got) is the same (based on what I see on pictures and description on the internet) as the CMs Limited Miyazawa version (the head is like the original Popy version).

Yep. Though do take note what they have at the moment isn't the one with the extra parts, just the regular versions. Gold
