does Bandai lack any money ?
COME ON we need new projects no repaints no R versions (unless if you are doing Daimos)

Seriously more repaints? This is what kills other toy lines. Didn’t even notice difference until paint was mentioned. Just can’t get over those toothpick legs. Looks like less money to Bandai this year. 😂 I’ll use that money on some power tool that I’ll use once or twice a year instead.

I fight it. 😂When I was newbie collector I drank Bandai Koolaid. A veteran local collector caught me up to speed and set me straight. These items though I don’t collect for return value or profit don’t hold their value well. If you sell something it’s usually at loss with eBay fees. I’m real picky now on what I buy from Bandai. That false hype, that fear of missing out gotta have it. I don’t fall for that anymore. I buy most of my Bandai stuff on second hand sales for cheaper price now from catch and release buyers. 😂 Yeah I know Bandai interns or student workers are reading this all 30-40 lurkers on this forum.

in my opinion if you manage to dodge the chrome noir bullet lol then you can dodge this one easily its just annoying that they are wasting resources on repaints
EDIT
btw whats the SP stand for super premium ?

I believe this is how gx70 had to be from the very beginning... Bandai is evil they have it all figure out in order to make people buy their products. This will be sold out as usual as mazinger is a fan favorite plus it’s an special item so good luck getting this one easily. Another gx01r+ maybe? Or gx45c anyone? Those prices are steep on secondary market ... I like t so I will bite the bullet I did on chrome and it’s a beautiful repaint, personal opinion that is since my main collection is Z.

True be told, repaints on a same figure do look fantastic when they are displayed togather.

I bought the 70CN Chrome Noir because it is just beautiful. I don't have anything else with a finish like that, and displayed together with GX-70, just looks impressive. I didn't buy 70D though, the price is already way over 200 and I'm not paying more than double what I paid for GX-70. I'm not as inclined to buy white versions over silver, it doesn't look as premium to me. In my mind, the white/grey color in cartoon/anime looked to represent silver.

Bandai can make all the recolour they want. I will rather buy new item like the incoming Gravion.

I believe this will be a Go Nagai event exclusive so unless you live in Japan, have someone who does, or get it through a third party it will be tough to buy.
Also a re-paint like this which is a super limited run has nothing to do with regular releases or takes away from what get's made. It is most likely that when they were producing GX-70 that the factory was also making the damaged one, the black one, and this at the same time. They just warehoused them until it was time to sell them, or at the very least these variations were in product planning for a long time.

So will still have to see Kurogane, weathered and Black and Gold finish GX-70? 😀 Ha. I would absolutely buy a weathered GX-70. Then, on top of that I’d buy a weathered battle damaged. What a sucker I am.

Wait didn’t battle damage already come out? It looks like it already signs of weathered
