I just got mine today. It came with the extra parts as advertised, but I also got it from an Italian shop. Now I have the spare parts I was looking for in my CMS piece Notes for folks who are concern about certain QC issues encountered in my old CM gordian: - the neck connector to the head snapped off on my mine and upon closer inspection because of the design perhaps be careful how much you tilt the neck up when posing the bot. Its a U-shape connector to a ball socket to the upper helm. - on my first version (non-miyazawa version) the right knee rachet joint is having difficulty catching the upper thigh thus making the knew joint a little loose in comparison to the left leg. I've handled both versions and love the proportion and feel of these Gordian bots. Overall, I haven't had any issues with the different plastic around the shoulder and elbows on both thus far in regards to the plastic that is used in comparison to anything I've seen from Bandai thus far. (And I have a lot of stuff from Bandai ) But, I think time will tell once more on this. I do agree the price is a bit high, I was able to pre-order mine for about 330 with shipping. The limited black version I was hoping to get as well got cancelled or at least my order on it got cancelled and they gave me a refund. Hoping, US retailers will realize the need for a price drop so that more folks will get a hold of this piece. There's some majestic to the feel of this bot, and its something you can only experience by handling it.

Congrats! Noticed that even on eBay the Italian version comes out cheaper than the ones they're offering on BBTS.

I bought the same one from a seller in Italy.
Unfortunately the head of the Protesser, the smallest robot, snapped from the neck (my fault) when trying to swap it with the exclusive head. The exclusive head was so hard to push on the peg and ...well, I pushed too hard and screwed up.
Anyone has any idea on what glue I can try to use ? The neck is made of a very thin plastic, no idea what kind. I have some Tamiya cement lying around. It looks "fine" displayed but I would like to try and fix it.
