Wow that’s very little diecast. Like black ox from gx-44.

Finally got this one. So heavy, so cold. Fantastic mold. Only gripe is the leg collapse a little easier than I would like. It takes a little more force to seat the head down (needs to pop up a little to transform) than to collapse the legs. So I find myself collapsing the legs instead when I try to press the head down. No issue otherwise.
I love both modes.
The mini figure actually has one rotation waist joint. Better than nothing. Looks fantastic.
Love the box art and love that the box is small. Running out of room!

Nice display! I like that it's a focused yet diverse collection, especially the N-scale buildings next to the Mazinger cast. Daikymaryu looks a little cramped in there but I'm impressed you got it to fit! I've been putting figures back in their boxes to make space for Daikumaryu. Hopefully it'll be unboxed soon!

Damn I may need to get this…. Does it combine with the Legioss?? It should, but more as a trailer in jet/fighter form. Yes I'm familiar with Mospeada and how Legioss and Tread only combine in fighter form. The combined form is the biggest draw to me in getting Tread honestly. I had the toynami alpha and betta at one point and the combined form is very bad ass. Unfortunately their Alpha falls apart on its own and I hated it and sold the set. I also had the CM's set at one point but the combined form is so finicky, prompting me to also sell it. I'm hoping for a good sturdy combination from Sentinel. Sentinel's Legioss is by far the best Legioss/Alpha we've gotten. Hoping the same for Beta (though the Toynami Beta was hefty and pretty cool, but it just didn't have an Alpha to match).

Man I remember when Amazon.jp’s price dropped at checkout because you were outside Japan and the DHL shipping was ¥1200. Those were the days! Sweet old days!!

Did you get the three posters or was that a bonus for early preorders? Posters are for first release version. So it’s included on all the copies available for purchase out there now, preorder or not. These first release limited labeling is a marketing jargon targeting those who are FOMO. However I do not see Gx-100 getting reissued in the future like the DX series. So the first release limited labeling is kinda of moot. I do love the posters though!

I knew this thing is big. But I wasn’t ready for how big it is. The box dwarves the DX Voltes box by 30-40% and is taller than a 24” Takara Fort Max. Not to mention the box is 2x wider than it is tall. No wonder amiami didn’t have a shipping box big enough to fit. Luckily my copy arrived undamaged despite the holes on the bandai brown shipper boxes.

If you already have an Amazon account all you should do is change country to Japan under settings and you’ll be able to buy from there. I didn't know about this. Though I do like having a separate amazon JP account from my family account at amazon if you know what I mean....

WTF? I just got a notification from PayPal saying AmiAmi just refunded all of my money? I wonder if they are going to cancel my order? How do I order from Amazon Japan if I'm in North America? Do I have to create an account first? Will they ship to North America? Ya just go to amazon japan, toggle the language to English and then set up an account. It's a separate account from Amazon usa. Some products (like GX-100) they'll ship to USA. Most toys and some books would ship. Good luck.

Mine from Amazon JP arrived. Amazon shipped it in Bandai's brown shipper box, no additional outer packaging. Haven't opened it yet but there are at least one hole and one rather deep cut/tear on the bottom side of the shipper box. Hope the content is undamaged. After 10+% local CA sales tax (amazon takes away the Japan tax and add on the local sales tax), my total came out to be just less than $800 USD. Not bad considering I only ordered it last week. Amazon prices continue to drop this past few days.

Entertainment earth charges shipping for domestic USA. To CA it’s like $160 IIRC with FedEx home delivery. No ground shipping for some reason for this monster. I’d keep an eye out on bbts and see if anyone cancels or if they get extra allotment.

I’m not talking about import tax, I’m talking about sales tax.

you must live in a state with no sales tax? Amazon JP charges tax at least for CA residents, which effectively cancels out the Japan tax savings.
