that mp version next to the soc looks like a drunken master as if each part is balanced on top of the next like a ball rolling and wobbling in place to keep from falling apart. i think ive seen that in a cartoon somewhere. anyway just a funny observation I made that mad me laugh There are better MP Dairugger poses but obviously.. that was chosen instead to get the message thru. Well.. atleast Dairugger GX-88 got his revenge from the earlier pics.

Is there an official release date for this? Or just speculation about October/November? Official japan release is set for October, You will find out which date of October on the 1st of the release month . USA release will be from 1-2 month later . There are no set dates for those releases , stores can be a week or 2 apart .

I am actually glad that Bandai's solid engineering pulled through. The Miracle Toys one looks flimsy as all hell and the various reviews back that up. Flimsy yes, but it still held that high side kick pose because of the hardware in it's hip joints. Here's hoping Bandai one ups it with their rich history of ever improving toy engineering... at the very least I'm hoping it can do a similar pose, something we can't pull off with the GX-71. While I'm not complaining as I love the weight with the figure in hand, there's always a part in most collectors I like to believe would love to have awesome hardware in our gokin toys that would enable us to put the toys through its paces of various dynamic postures ... The MM isn't that flimsy. It's actually pretty solid assuming you didn't get any or many QC problems. But GX-88 looks miles above it in terms of detail and function.

Not that flimsy. Compared to many other toys, it's pretty solid construction. From a R&D (Research & Development) point of view, I think the Bandai engineers had to look at the MM and take pointers. Somethings they must have said "this is good, better than what we planned." Others, they must have laughed and said we can do better. I think it would have been silly to just do it "their way" and ignore the MM.

Is there anyone still selling PRE-ORDERS? Or is it done now.

Love it or hate it, I think MM helped the overall community to revive/clear a way for someone like Bandai to take notice at making an official SOC for Dairugger into a much needed reality for us collectors. Its been a long road for it to get here, but I for one am happy its finally coming to fruition as an official SOC. Will we ever get a DX version to have one stand next to the original who knows... but here's hoping...

With you waiting too long , you will now just have to wait some more . There will be more re opening near release, so you can get it then .
But you will need to be quick when they do reopen since it will just be cancellations .
people here, do post when stores have reopening so settings up to get email alerts from new posts should help greatly.

Just preorder at GameStop (listed the link a couple pages ago not doing it again). NY is horrible wouldn't recommend them to anybody, they get an item then don't ship until THEY feel like(could be waiting for months before you even get anything if anything). GameStop is your best bet since bbts and eknight are sold out. You can put 100 down and then pay the rest when they get it but order from NY by all means😃.

Gamestop is already sold out, also they are still new to the preordering of SOC. Many are waiting for the result of their preordering of GX-71 from them.

You might be mistaken for the gx-71 yea that's sold out but the gx-88 should still be available. I went to my local one and preordered last week and the clerk said only 5 people preordered in the US. You have to put $100 down payment to secure then they will ask for the rest when it comes in but it's not gonna be a stock at every GameStop item, they are only getting supply for those who ordered and nothing more.

To be fair though, this preorder wasn't along the lines of gx-71 in terms of selling out. It's actually been available to preorder for a while now.
