LOL. Probably one of the quietest SOC PO drop night ever with zero posts here. Yeahhh...98 and 99 are just like mostly donotgiveafarks unless you're a completist. And well, I used to be one and I gave that up already. I was thinking I wanted 98 but after looking at the pics again, I'm like...do I really? I did put down coin already for the Metal Robot Spirits Gundam...so, maybe I'll hold off and save for something I really want. If you have a GX-51 Dragon, you can definitely skip D2. If you don't have one, you should go find a GX-51 instead (similar aftermarket price for a brand new). I love Getters, but took a lot of effort to get me to buy GX-99 Arc. D2 though is an easy pass. Completist, I am not, thank God!

Completist, I am not, thank God! The thing with D2 is that is not relevant and IMO it is not a good design and a lame retool of a not so good figure I would say. So it requires a lot of effort or being a big getter fan to get it (I think bandai is aware of this, and to save it of going on clearance, they just made it TWE)

My biggest gripe is the apparent screw hole all over its back. I mean its 2021, screw hole should be hidden, right? At least without the screw hole it could make more distinction from the gx-51.

At least without the screw hole it could make more distinction from the with gx-51. On the contrary, I was able make my GX-51 a lot more solid thanks to those screw holes. Quite a few joints wasn't tighten up and the ab crunch was loose. I was able to take it apart easily and fix all those instead, now a tight solid figure all around. I would have like the figure a lot less if not for them, call me old school if you will.

These are toys for me, not model kits or museum pieces. I don't mind them being swiss-cheesed on the back. Like mpchi says, makes them easier to maintain/repair.
It kinda weirds me out knowing I can't get into the more recent ones if they start to go all ragdoll or get a busted ratchet or something. (Grumble grumble.)

I'm with the guys that appreciate the screw holes. As long as it is not in the front, it really makes it easier to fix the figure, or just tighten up joints.

why is the 98 more expensive than the 99? They made 98 a web shop exclusive.
