Does anyone know what the QC issues are specifically? Is there a common issue to look out for?

Will this guy have any gimmicks or gattai features? He looks to be a pretty big figure - GGG size? Is this just a large scale posable model?

Thanks for posting about Daileon! This particular chat room/robot subject has been quiet for a while. I, also, just received my copy of Daileon - after an interminable wait, I finally received my order from eKnight. All things considered, the product is awesome and (in my case) eKnight did great - clear communication, no markup, negligible shipping charge, etc.

I can’t believe I just ordered it but here we are. Man, this is an amazing sculpt! Great articulation. Love the details regarding the pilots. A+, dammit.

Nice to see El Festival de los Robots represented! For me, it was Force Five.

Oh man - that does look awesome. However, seeing a Grendizer toy at that scale just reminds me that a DX SOC is imminent and that I need to wait for that one. I LOVE that the industry is warming towards and actively open to making larger die-cast robots - see Action Toys DX Tetsujin - but, Bandai is so good when they focus their efforts on a project with universal appeal. I know, without question, that their version of Grendizer will ultimately be the primary focal point in my collection. And, now - fingers crossed, I wait.

DHL Will and do ship packages containing alkaline and lithium batteries internationally. Check their website and shipping requirements. I don’t know why AmiAmi refuses to ship packages containing batteries internationally post-COVID but their excuses are surely going to cost them business. I just canceled my GX-100 pre-order from them for this very reason. I re-ordered from Amazon JP a few days ago and received shipping and tracking info within 12 hours of my payment. My GX-100 is being shipped to the USA via DHL and is expected to arrive four days from now. Don’t worry about international shipping now or in the future. Unfortunately, we just aren’t able to rely on AmiAmi anymore. As far as I can tell, these overly restrictive policies are unique to AmiAmi, within their control, and reflective of their own corporate risk management. It’s really too bad because I’ve done a lot of business with AA in the past but it seems not so much in the future.

Awesome - many thanks for the peripheral info. Just ordered through Amazon-jp - no hassle and apparently it’ll be here in a week or so. I’m canceling my order with Amiami immediately. So mad at AA. WTF?!

Does anyone know where this product is still/currently available? I have a pre-order with AmiAmi (who haven’t yet contacted me regarding shipping) and I also gather their refusal to ship this expeditiously is similar to the incredibly upsetting experience I had waiting for DX Voltes. I’d cancel my pre-order with AmiAmi in a second if I could secure an order with another vendor. AmiAmi’s draconian, self-protective shipping policy sucks in our current COVID reality. Other companies can manage pre-COVID shipping parameters - why can’t AA?! Really frustrating!

Did anyone here in the US happen to order Daileon through eknight and, if so, have you gotten yours yet? Thanks!

I’d definitely get an extra copy of the Gaiking robot if they sold it in a stand alone capacity. It’d be awesome to have one assembled/posed and one displayed in launch ready position in the Daiku-Maryu.

I hope you’re right. I really want to get that Dai Apolon they previewed a while back.

Already have the classic popy version, World Scope of both 17 & 18, Action Toys (TS-01 and TS-17) and (TS-18). This Chogokin version of Daitetsujin-17 is close in heights with Popy version. And I tend to agreed with some other collectors that the Action Toys version (TS-01) looks better (and taller). Bandai should do Mekander Robo ( I have the evolution toys version). Yes to all of the above. Mekanda would be amazing. So would Daibaron.

That’s awesome! I can’t recall seeing a stylized version of T-28 in toy form before. Who’s making this?

...Is it possible that they are going to be packaged together? Haha, no. Damn. Well, hope springs eternal. I’d be psyched even if they released a hollow plastic shell describing this Satan Goose character as an add on to Daileon. Sort of like the large scale plastic Spider-Man figure they included with Leopardon back in the day.

What’s going on with the Darth Vader looking figure in that photo? I presume that’s an enemy of Daileon? Is it possible that they are going to be packaged together?

Oh, man! This is major league exciting! Nobody is doing Starzinger revival like they should. So looking forward to this eventual release!
