I cannot find preorders anywhere seems to be all sold out. Super bummed another one I waited on as I did not think it was going to sell out so quickly. Seems SOC's are becoming a lot more popular than they used to be. Never had issues prior to Voltron preordering but on everything recently preorders are gone within what seems like minutes. Please post links to preorder.. I missed my chance to preorder one. too much going on and can't keep up with everything.

I noticed preorder for bbts came up Available for day or two again and sold out just now. Maybe somebody cancelled preorder. More I look at photos in this tread I realize I don't like Gold pieces. Looks like it will show finger prints, swirl or scratch marks like Tryder G-7. So I'll skip this one for sure since I have original and prefer the Yellow color.

In anticipation of the Sentinel release, I took out my old GX-39. I think it's the first time it's in my current display cabinet. it reminds me how much I loved Kenryu and how much I dislike the SOC rendition of Baikanfu itself. Regardless, it's great to have it out again! PS: the bike robo from Action Toys seems to be in scale with Rom! Bonus for sure.

Really kind of wishing that Bandai took the Combattler V and Ideon route for revamping old classics. Ideon is already solid already with needing nothing too elaborate to improve some design flaws due to constraints(i.e.Metal ratchets to replace various rachets of the original and a fatter tab for Ideo Delta). I cannot wait to see videos for the Sentinel Baikanfu.

Somebody must have cancelled their preorder on bbts recently because this popped up available again. I realized I already have couple SoC-R versions(Daitarn 3/Gunbuster) and can't decide which one I like better so why not have both. I said I wasn't going to get it, So I did "might as well Craig" and bought it. I'm admiring GX-39 standing on my desk and although I'm not biggest fan of Baikanfu the curiosity intrigues me to buy Renewal version.

C/O Sup3Hobo of TFW2005: He pointed out that it looks as if the head proportion was increased, which is definitely a good thing. Overall, I'm liking the changes made. Still on the fence about picking it up, but it looks like it could be worth doubling up with the original.

I'm really diggin' this piece! September can't come soon enough! Looks wise, I like it better than the sentinel version. Now if only the SOC Dancouga R had better improvements like the Baikanfu R...

I agree. They really seem to have knocked it out with this one. I remember reading something about functional improvements on the arms, though? I wonder what is different engineering-wiese.

Good question bro. To be honest, I'm not sure. I know they said there will be the thighs will be die cast, shoulders will be redisgned, head redisigned, new colors and the tamashii website says the wrists will be redisigned as well. So I guess in terms of engineering it will be the wrists. Oh and the hips will be improved as well. I think that's pretty cool since the original was a great piece.

One thing's for sure, Rom's and Leina's faces look a lot better. Then again, we're comparing promotional prototype shots against production shots, but I at least hope the renewal improves on them, too. Their faces look a bit gummy on the original.

Been pretty quiet on this thread considering it's coming out next month. Any news or pics that have surfaced?

The new head sculpt looks quite spicy and the gold adds that touch of class. I'll be happy to own this mold again.
