Well it's stated as renewal, so surely something is new on it. But what?

I hope you guys are right. I could see this being either way.. Bandai does do a lot re-issues without any changes, but usually they keep the same box and they don't give it any hype.. These two factors make me think it will have some changes.. I hope, I hope.

That is why I think like you. Normally, when they add Renewal, something has been changed. Juste like GX-01 to GX-01R and so on. Max Factory GGGG to GGGG Final Vers 1.5. It's a small change, but it's one.
That is why GX-99 Renewal must have something new on it.....but what?

Less die-cast to make it more stable. I think that was hinted months ago. Could be wrong though.

Normally what is redone is joint and things like that. Less diecast is possible, but I doubt it.

Any news about the release date. I've seen one on eBay and it's gone now. HLJ has still preorder on it.
I was on Yahoo Japan the other day and from the translation only the box is supposed to be different. Any new review on the new edition?

I was looking at the thread on Toys Daily and nobody there seemed excited about it at all, which makes me think it's the same thing.

Even if it's the same thing, it's pretty awesome for a toy, as long as you use the stand. Even my Fewture Models Getter 2 need is stand in order to be solid.....
I've seen the anime and it's a good robot...very powerfull, but not as strong as Grendizer

Maybe a problem with the shipment from the factory, or a last minute recall to fix something.

HLJ responded today that the item will be available in May. So where to order, HLJ or eBay.
HLJ is very secure, but with EMS shipping I pay customs. eBay good price, but sometime (often) shipping is overpriced for simple airmail, but no customs US shop, piece is outpriced from start, good shipping to Canada...

How much is HLJ asking?

I love the new box art.

Yes, it's a nice piece of art!
I've seen one on eBay maybe a month ago, but it looks like it's not out yet.
Is it yours, or a picture you took off the net?

I wonder what revisions if any Bandai actually did to this.
I bought the 2 previous releases.
I'll really feel burnt if Bandai incorporated "joint qualitative" revisions on this one, simple because I already bough it twice without that.
