mpchi I mostly go to the after market if I missed stuff since it's unironically so for less just cause the box was opens & When it comes to scalpers I never bothered with them , but his body build gives the impression that he should be massive / bigger than regular Metal Build . Looks good though can't wait for his P-Bandai counter part Shin Tarak lol. Still good to see that he sold out (Hoping for Shin 2 & 3) I just want complete Shin set
Lol, can't wait for that P-Bandai Shin Tarak. There are few things more certain than Metal Build repaints. There's like what... 5 x Gundam 00, Strike, etc? Bandai is definitely going to get their money's worth out of that MB Shin Getter mold.

AmiAmi sold out in 1s. I kept refreshing until it showed the order button, added it to cart and then it showed insufficient stock. Yeah They've been like this for a while now , Probably sold this locally (Which I doubt would run out in an instant) Been a while since I've tried to get in on a popular AmiAmi preorder. I remember their site used to just crash, but now that they seem to be able to handle the capacity, I'm guessing people now use bots. This seems like something they'd sell domestically at BBTS, EE, etc. though so probably better chances there.

I'd much rather have a regular RX-93 vGundam and I'm sure Bandai will want to reuse that mold and almost certainly release one... but I still can't stop myself from buying this RX-93ff.

Anyone have any thoughts on how the shipping costs for AmiAmi and HLJ compare these days? I haven't really bought anything significant from AmiAmi post-COVID, but they were always more expensive than HLJ - is that still the case now?
I just picked up a Sentinel Mazinkaiser reissue from HLJ and shipping was quite a bit more than the original. EMS was ~$40 for the original and this time it was ~$60 for the reissue so I'm wondering if it's just HLJ or shipping costs have just gone up significantly everywhere (I'm guessing it's probably the latter).

Yikes... that's a pretty significant QC flaw for a $300+ Metal Build. It would be way more tolerable if it wasn't the head. I was really looking forward to this one, but I'm considering canceling my order and just waiting for the inevitable alternate color release. Then again, there's no guarantee QC would actually be any better on that version.

In general, what distinguishes the Chogokin line from Metal Builds? Are the Chogokins supposed to have more die-cast? Are they about the same size as their Metal Build counterparts?

I'm counting on Bandai wanting to maximize their initial investment in that mold and eventually releasing a regular non-ff RX-93. Still looks really good though... having a hard time convincing myself to skip this release.

I wish they'd sell the new parts separately like they did with the 00 GN Sword II Blaster so I wouldn't have to buy yet another Exia... but I'm guessing me buying another Exia is exactly what they were aiming for

Wasn't really planning on picking this up, but I like the black on the SP a lot better than the dark blue on the original.

I just noticed the description has:
Now with strengthened joints! And more die-cast!!
Anyone know more details on the joints and die-cast? I've never bought any v2 Sentinels, but they did improve the waist on the Black Shin Getter 1 right?

I'm guessing it's just an alternate translation of "Ryuusei" in the title.

I've never been a fan of Mazinger Zero, but this CCS Toys rendition is amazing! Everything from the sculpt to the colors and all the little details are really well done. I would love to see a Mazinkaiser from these guys - I think they'd give Sentinel a run for their money.

Has anyone bought from anime-export post COVID? Prepaid pre-order price is quite a bit cheaper than the other shops, but I'm wondering if the initial savings will end up just getting wiped out by shipping.

Really like the paint job on this F91, but already got regular F91 and Harrison F91, so think I'm gonna pass at this price... I always thought the colors on the original release were just a little off. I think out of all the different MB repaints, the Chronicle White is probably the biggest improvement over the original release. I really don't need another F91, but damn it looks great.... On the bright side, it doesn't seem to be selling out

Was there ever a knockoff of the original color version? I'm hoping for a knockoff of this snow white version so I can take the weapons/accessories and put them on my original color version.
