Can people give me a quick rundown on what changes have been made for this reissue of Big O? I am curious as this is the 3rd one in a row Bandai has done now. It's got the expansion pack stuff packed in, as well as a kurogane (black iron) finish. The expansion pack was selling for sky high prices for what it is (~$200). Now this full package version comes with it and only selling for a little more! The kurogane finish should look really good on Big O.

It was ridiculous that the extra parts were a separate release that was a premium item that became ridiculously hard to find at decent prices. This does seem to be a tempting offer to me.

OOO, never paid attention that it was actually the Kurogane finish. That price tag though killed it for me

Oh wow, I guess I never looked at BBTS for exclusives. 220 makes ALOT more sense

I bought mine from Ny. Total shipped to CA with EMS shipping came out to $276. Remember with NY you pay everything up front for exclusives including the shipping.

I too like the original better "at least" from the photo anyways.
still, This release is so super nice. I really love how Bandai included everything in this repaint. I love this new trend where Bandai at least tries to add some bonus to its repaints. Thats how you treat repeat customers.

Even I am tempted to get this piece due to the option sets it is now included with. I think you had to pay $300 extra to get these option parts before the renewal.

Yeah I like this one.
I cancelled my SOC Mazinkaiser based on the problems being reported with the chest part. I might just slide those funds over to Big O. LOL

Yep, they could call that one the GX-48MG. Looking at the colors on that figure - how they gave it a warmer gray and got rid of the chrome on the arm pistons -, it's like someone at Bandai saw Max Factory's Big O and said "yeah, that's how we should have done it". Good thing they did, because it's gorgeous. Too bad I just can't afford it right now and secondary market prices will probably be crazy high by the time I can. First world problems, yeah, I know. I'm not crying over this. I'll just have to lick my Max Factory Big O all over to ease the pain...

I'm liking the Kurogane finish more than the original. The new paint scheme really adds to the feel of the robot in terms of it being an iron giant. The original looks like it belongs in a show room with its chrome and glossy finish. Big O is a "grimmy" robot that gets down when it fights!

LOL if you can financially then go for it, because its a TWE item and its the best time to get it is now after the release the price will get higher since it include the weapon set, you can always go for Mazinkaiser at any time the price wont get that high as for Mazinkaiser the only problem with it, is the chest parts other than that its a cool figure, best Mazinkiaser ever
