I understand what you said guys butThe thing is this is a rather unknown figure to receive that treatment. A very big figure, combiner, with die cast should have a very high price (around or over a dx chogokin) and I don't know if it would sell well at such a high price point.

I literally just had this conversation with someone last night and said this almost verbatim and that I "get" it, but fact this is a line that people put their hard earned money into with the expectation of definitive collectibles of iconic mecha to display in their high-end, adult collections; not the expectation of or complacency with "being thrown a bone." They should've went all in with this just like they would even their 45th Mazinger or left it alone. This crap is nothing but an overpriced SRC and a general slap in the face. It's legitimately insulting.

It's legitimately insulting. I get what you said. I'm always trying to get the best representation of each of the characters I choose. But I think bandai see things as a big company, and they business model is to sell as much as they can. If you watch almost none of the latest bandai products (even the most expensive one, like metal builds and socs) are all under 300usd. And for what I've read in many forum and Facebook groups there is where many collectors draw the line. Any figure over the 300 is something not many are getting, there are characters that break that for example I'm sure the next grendizer DX, but this being an almost unknown mecha (even when it's a derivative from a classic) is a line not many people would probably cross at a high price point. I understand your anger and frustration with the figure as a hardcore collector but at a much higher price point this would probably be a complete failure (in my humble opinion).

You saved my life again. Even after setting up the email listing you suggested last time, I don't see any email at the time of PO. End up still couldn't search for it, and have to use your link. Thanks again dude. Got one from CD. Amiami looks like sold out, didn't allow me to put one in cart.

I feel like just going back and forth at this point will be repeating the same thing over and over again and it makes me even more bugged because compromising on our end only leads to more subpar products which the SoC line has had no problem producing post Golion. ------------------------------------------- Hopefully everyone got their orders in.

But I’m glad that I was able to help .

I had no intentions of getting this especially pre-order! Curious on your take of this and comparison to other robots. Hoping this right step to other Getter combiners.
