Keep in mind there's only 1 left and while it's fulfilled by Amazon it's being sold by a 3rd party.
Not a big deal to most but thought I'd mention it.

The great thing about this deal is that since it's Amazon Fulfillment you don't get to pay taxes unless you're in-state.
So I actually ended up paying exactly $499.
Thank you, Jay.

Great review Gold.
Before I hadn't considered purchasing this at all but after reading the review and seeing that price on Amazon I'm at a crossroad.

What I usually do when I'm torn like this is I try to imagine myself 1 year down the road.
Would I regret not buying now that it's sold out everywhere or would I not really care that much?

I Finally broke mine open Wow....impressive to say the least. Extremely luxurious....its def luxury item and it make sure you know it by its packaging.....the only thing its missing is a valvet cloth....
The First impression, the inner body heavy as hell. The outter diecast on the naked body itself includes....the shoulder joints, lower hip parts, the hip joints, the black back shell....everything else thats outside seems to be plastic. But there must be some more metal inside as this thing is really heavy.
Ill post more detailed review as soon as im done enjoing this DX.
Does the head turn side to side?

Thanks Loc! Turns at the base of the neck?
My Greats left forearm tends to come off too easy for my taste....is this pretty norm?

Yes!
Oh no....i missed the part about the 4 locking tabs on the fore arms. I should have reread Golds review... I hope i didnt wreck it.
Hey Bandai!! You made the arm tabs too shallow!! While at it, please please make great booster and the damaged parts ala Hot Toys! Yes i said it, Hot Toys!

the elbow hinges aren't that bad at all. much easier on the great maz, but still fine on the maz. just push in the red hose and its fine.

Thats cool.
Man, Cant wait for the next DX. Who will it be? Gundam RX, Grendizer, Macross Valk or Getter1?
This Great DX is owning everything i got!!.....displaywise anyways. He looks so good with all the different fine metallic paints.
The shelf presence is unequaled..
