It is already bad enough that Bandai makes this Premium Exclusive but they also have the gall to ask for payment now on an item that has yet to hit shelves.
I am really getting tired of this BS here. It would be nice if they also included the Broken Magnum and Protect Shade effect parts to better make this add-on worth while.

So they give a useless dedicated GGG head and not a faceplate-less helmet? Dumb

Also, what is this about the deadline for the preorder being December 21st or something?
I thought this won't be released till March or April.

Well then I really hope Nippon Yassan and the like will have enough ready for me to buy sometime by the end of next month. That $213+ price tag is a tough bullet to bit for me.
I cannot see why Bandai made this a Premium Exclusive and thus gutting the amount of long term sales for the very short term. I can't even preorder like I would other stuff of the same such as my Kamen Rider Gaim Savior Arrow or Sentai Artisan Shinkenoh.

That was one of the few flaws of the base mold of SoC Gaogaigar. I guess that's a fair point, but I fixed that myself by cutting off most of GaiGar's hair and getting rid of the arm that attached the helmet to Stealth Gao.

Great. Every place that has the Star Gaogaigar Set has been sold out. Even the Bigbadtoystore option.
Goddammit Bandai!!! Could you have been able to have waited just a little longer for this?

Not so much sold out but you missed the PO deadline. I'm guessing they had to get the order numbers in to Bandai so they would know how many to make since it's going to be a very limited item and with the price and the fact that most places still have SoC GGG at retail no one was going to over order to have extras to sell. You're best bet is to find somewhere that might offer a waiting list or keep watching BBTS and see if someone cancels a PO. Sorry

And I just got done shipping off a Perfect Grade Strike Freedom I sold just to help me buy this set. I really doubt that there will be any restocks and anyone who wants one later can forget about what happened with S.I.C. King Form Garren and wait for a mainline release. If it would amount to anything, this would be where I stop buying stuff from Bandai. I am just so close on swearing off Bandai for good because of this. So yeah. With the way things are working out, I may have to get this set via aftermarket or see it at a convention vendor somewhere. Neither option being all that probable. This is one of those lamentations of being a collector without the right amount of money at the right time. I think I would much rather pay the after market for a Masterpiece Brave Dragon Kaiser.

Well you can't really blame Bandai since they announce the deadline for the preorder. But Nippon-yasan normally order more , but depending on the demand , you'll probably be paying a higher price . Using a creditcard for when you know you have money incoming to cover the bill would have solved your problem . Not sure if it's paypals credit /pay later that they offer no interest for 6 months . I really think the price is a bit high , but when they anouce the deadline , I gave in and preorder it . Sigh ... Pay with credit card in yen over PayPal to get a better exchange rate , and get like 1.5% cash back , lol . Everybit counts

Maybe it wasn't NY but it was someone....HLJ? all of the official stores shouldnt charge the buyer any extra fee for using credit card. But if your credit card doesn't covers free foreign transaction fees , then you'll get hit with a fee from your creditcard when you pay in other currency. Also on the PayPal invoice , when you pay you will see a fee posted , but that's not your fee , it's a fee that PayPal charges the store for using PayPal as payment . It's just shows you what the store actually gets . Your still paying the same , no extra charges .

I know this thread is mainly for the Star Gaogaigar add-on set but any chances for the Symmetrical Docking Bros. to be a possible future release for this line?
Cause I would love to get Chouryujin and Gekiryujin as main releases with a more understanding disposition if Tenryujin was the only Premium exclusive. Being that the two sisters only mainly appeared in Gaogaigar Final and maybe some unknown audio dramas. That and their much lighter frames would make for weird proportions if either sisters could combine with their other siblings.
But other than that, I would love for the Booster Packs, effect parts and other weapon accessories to include the main releases so we get more money for a 2 team combiner and to avoid more BS such as this Star Gaogaigar situation.
Would be nice for even a Volfogg and King J-Der entry though I think King J-Der would have to be mainly hollow with very little diecast to be bigger than Fort Max.
