Anyone have an informed view on when the preorder would be available? I know a bunch of friends that are definitely in on this. Question is, do I need a 2nd? I think a safe bet would be 4. One to keep MIB, one to display in lion mode, one to display in robot mode, and one to manhandle

So preorder on 3/24 with July release? Edit: Preorder date is NOT 3/24. Don’t listen to me 😆

Is that an ad for the re-issue or the ad from 2016? I ask because the prices are the same and if you know Bandai I'm sure there will be some kind of mark-up.

I got the image from taghobby page with the new Figure Oh scans so I’m assuming it’s from that magazine. Also release date of the original was December, this one’s July and it mentioned “resale” somewhere there when I did a google translate.

I keep wondering where you see the price and I just realize what I thought was the PO date is actually the price! Lol

Pretty much SRP is 32K yen + the normal discount from POs - expect this to be around 27K-28K yen + shipping - Voltron had the same price has megazord
I can't wait I need another one for my plastic addiction! lol

I guess I need to keep an eye on this. This will likely be my only chance to finally get one at retail.

I would love to pick up two. Do you think the larger e-shops like Ami and HS will cap limits at 1 per household?
How were limits set during the 2016 release?

Plus it's best to buy from a domestic retailer so the product is covered under warranty. If you buy from Japan (or elsewhere) and there's an issue, your out of luck.

Converting Yen to USD, the price is actually more like $292. However, once you factor in shipping...that said, many Japanese retailers will discount off the listed retail.
