Jeez guys just order straight from Bandai if you live in North America. us.p-bandai.asia/tamashiiwebshop/It's not up for pre-orders yet but since they just listed the Dai Shogun figure I'm pretty sure they will have the new Big-O up sooner or later. Pay the actual price with no middle man fees. Well, too late for moi.

This is unexpected. I have the original. Cannot see the differences except it has both sets combined. If you do not have the original GET THIS!

It's got kurogane finish, which means black steel, or iron. Meaning the finish is textured and from what I've seen off Bandai'd kurogane finishes on the SRC Maz, it's beautiful. Max factory had something similar with their max gokin Big O. But from the pics the kurogane finish looks even better. I think this difference will be huge and for the better! 3 This pic shows the finish pretty well, it's a dark textured iron looking finish as supposed to the smooth surfaces from the previous release:

Nice. I'm happy with the original release, but it would be good if they released a pic that compares the two.

None of p bandai hk/sg/china/taiwan/usa has it listed. Hope I'm wrong about this one.

While Big-O is more likely to be listed, but the risk is too high to miss this one. And if buying from Bandai's US site, the most you can save is $20+. Don't know if they charge tax. But if they do, that pretty much break even with NY even with NY's high 5000yen shipping (what's wrong with them lately?!).

And one more thing is we don't know if p bandai usa charges import tax or not, as it ships items using fedex from HK. I'm sure for you guys there will be no import tax, but I cannot say for sure for us canadians.

Couldn't hold myself... preordered at nipponyasan. Tamashii Web shop america has an expensive shipping fee (payed 30uss in shipping for f91 option set) so it would't be much difference. Don't have the original and I really dig the design. Thanks for posting the preorder... don't wanna pay aftermarket prices for this

Is it just me or did they improve the color of the transparent red parts a bit too. They look just a little more red and less orange on the new one. Although it could just be the pictures.

The transparent parts were definitely given a much more anime accurate color. I hope they also stiffen up some of the joints such as the lateral hip joints as well as the ankles feel a little loose on my copy when I first opened it.

Big O is one of my favorites. I loved the anime and I already own the old SOC release. I think I will sell it and get this one.

Makes me wonder if Bandai is planning to re-release GoaGaiGar with it's options parts bundled. Hmmmm....

Makes me wonder if Bandai is planning to re-release GoaGaiGar with it's options parts bundled. Hmmmm.... I would normally dismiss that. But this in the second time in a matter of weeks that we are getting a repaint/re-release bundled with what was formerly an extremely rare and expensive option set feature. The SHMA Heisei Super Mechagodzilla was just released with the included Garuda ship/flight packpack. Previously that was a hard to find expansion item that cost about as much as the Big O option set. Of course the new set didn't include all the effects parts from the option set... I notice with some concern that there is no mention of the Griffon...
