I don't get it. Is it going to be under the Riobot line or marketed as a 1000toys product? I'm only buying if it's Riobot. Both are using the RIOBOT name, but Sentinel is the manufacturer on Japan retail sites right now, and looks like (according to promotional material) will be listed as 1000Toys in the US. It's a bit confusing, but same product using branding tactic to get attention to the product depending on region. 1000toys website has MSRP at US$120 but never mentioning Sentinel 1000toys.jp/blog_detail.aspx?goto=blog27Sentinel blog lists MSRP at 15000yen but has no mention of 1000Toys ameblo.jp/sen-ti-nel-info/entry-12343906424.html

It's a personal thing as I think 1000toys products are overrated garbage.

Recently I picked up the RIOBOT Gurren Lagann. It's on the small side, but it's awesome in so many ways. I POed this from AmiAmi. The character is great, and once it sells out it will become quite pricey.

The character is great, and once it sells out it will become quite pricey. The price will definitely go up as the likelihood of a reprint is low on this guy. Then again there isn't exactly alot of people clamoring for an iron giant figure, at least compared to GL.

Is there any actual metal in this one? That's not a bad price for a small Gokin, even one a bit light on metal. It's horribly overpriced for pure plastic.

Mods need to merge this thread into the one under Riobot, right now there are 2 separate conversations about the same figure.

And in case they do, I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned how truly super awesome they are. They’re the best! Super nice to their customers. Wouldn’t dare even think about changing the great price they’ve given us (unless they want to lower it more) 😉

What the what?! Just checked my PO though and it still shows $120. Should I cancel and PO again just to get the new price? Also, did they read my comments lavishing them with praise and maybe lowering the price even more? Have I mentioned how awesome and good looking the folks at sentinel are?

I tried canceling my first preo as it still showed $120... But i couldnt figure out how...so i sent them an email to let them know the situation.
5min later i figured out how to cancel ( choose the amount ( 1 or 2) you want to cancel, not 0 ( zero) like how you cancel at Amazon..) So canceled $120 and reordered at $110.
Yes, Boru thank you. You might just have saved me $10!!!
