Yes, it's really not very large. Look at a video review and you'll see the size of the reviewer has it in their hands.

As for Gold Lightan... I'm meh. I don't really know this robot. I do think it's kinda cool in a "look it:s a 1:1 scale model of a Giant Robot on my desk!" sort of way. 1:1 only in lighter mode. As a robot, he's a giant.

It's a lighter for a boy. Bandai should throw in a pack of gold cigarettes as an accessory

He's a sentient robot, like a Transformer.

Late...as usual. But, got one via Anime-Export. How do people make sure they get the first preorders in various sites before them selling out? It seems that luck and timing is key as well as constantly refreshing the vendor of your choice also helps.

Late...as usual. But, got one via Anime-Export. How do people make sure they get the first preorders in various sites before them selling out? It seems that luck and timing is key as well as constantly refreshing the vendor of your choice also helps. The last couple of years with Chogokin toys esp. from Bandai have been typically all about early timing if you want to get your spot when POs open. Depending on the toy, some go quicker than most (i.e. Metal Builds and DX Chogokin Macross). So, there are a few plays: You either get ready to pounce immediately when the time of PO opens on the respective sites or, like me, you come in afterwards (usually a few hours later because I'm sleeping during the time POs launch) and know who the alternate vendors are to check that may still have queues open. OTHERWISE, if you miss out, well, keep checking regularly on the sites and/or helpful members on here will post when the toy again is available for PO. One way or another, you should be able to get one if are persistent. As well, when the toy launches, the first couple of days of its release usually yields the ability to pick one up from these vendors that had POs sellout initially. It's a bit more work than the good ol' days of being able to PO something even days afterwards from HLJ, Hobby Search, and etc. without much work. Or heck, even for me, it dates back to my days of being able to one-stop shop at Amenbo. I literally was able to get everything from them and they had a great PoL system too for me. I miss that crew...no idea what happened to them. Sigh.

Thanks. But I unfortunately 107$ is little too much for him. 90$ would be pushing it.

Might be pretty tough to get it under $100 including shipping (to the US at least).

I am quite happy to see Gold Lightan getting a re-release. I had the Popy with the black forearms and spring loaded fists as a kid, and I slapped a Decepticon sticker on it! Haha. I got it as a gift, from grandparents who knew I loved Japanese robot toys, and would pick up something for me whenever their flight stopped over Narita airport. I don't remember what happened to the toy, but I'm def getting this for the nostalgia and that it makes me think of my grandparents who are gone.

You know you could just get the reissue of the popy from a few years back, right?

And I'm convinced I still have the Popy one stashed away somewhere, will look for it when I get the chance. And... doubt I can find a new GB-37 cheaper than this SOC.
