No proxy needed and they accept Paypal. Good luck! Hey sorry to butt in but I have been having issues with Mandarake and it seems they have a tough time selling stuff to Florida. I want to guess that this was the reason I cannot get to the payment section but I am unsure. Are you paying via PP or CC? On their FAQ, they state that FL residents have to use PP because of an unusually high rate of CC fraud. I haven't had any issues with their site, but I use a desktop browser.

Most of those unreleased things were listed as "Display Only", which is Bandai-speak for cocktease. Bandai likes to make one-offs just to use as props to show off what they want to sell. :C

That GGG is probably the Super Minipla.

Now that we've got this nice SoC, is there any market for the old CMs GGG+Upgrade set? Started thinking about selling mine...

SRW was never really a literary masterpiece and trying to mash together all these different IPs (for a lack of a better term, since many of the OG characters are their own self-contained series even if they were created for SRW games) is gonna be disjointed (even worse for the mainline games). And the story is absolutely secondary to an SRW game, LOL.
English is my second language, but I'm not finding too much difficulty understanding the translation. Maybe I'm just used to trying to parse broken English?

Its a little slow at work right now since its almost quitting time, so I decided to take a glance at what the current aftermarket price for the Legacy Mega/Dragonzords and Titanus are and holy cow. Are people actually paying those prices? Hell, I was going to be happy to just get most of what I paid for 'em back and I bought at MSRP.

I'll probably end up selling my Legacy MMPR trio for cheap. They've just been sitting in my closet. I think my Titanus is even MISB while Mega and Dragon were only taken out for inspection.

All text is in english and all dialogue is in Japanese, no settings to change anything.

I only got to play the prologue stage tonight, and this is my first modern SRW (I haven't played a game in some time) so there are features and functions that they've added since my last game.
The dialogue is mostly fine, so there's no worries there. Some of the menu items and tooltips are a bit off, but pretty understandable and don't require too much extra effort to figure out. Some of the choices for certain phrases will take a bit of getting used to, but they make enough sense once you "experience" them. Also, really helpful that you can bring up a tooltip doodad on pretty much any screen to remind you of what stuff does. Again, there's a ton of new stuff for me, so I can't comment on that aspect of the experience. But it plays like the SRW I'd expect.
Side note: Calvina and the co-pilot girls are so much hotter in HD on a console compared to J's handheld pixeleyness. :3

I imagine it'll be pretty similar to Gundam Breaker 3's english (which was pretty good, though there were some headscratchers), but I'm guessing there'll be some translations that'll be different from expectation. I can recognize the Japanese for most of the SP skills and enough of the really common terms and I did play the localized OGs and Endless Frontier. Even so, I'm still pretty used to how they've been done in the fan-translations.
My copy should be arriving today (decided to spring for the extra shipping and get Fedex instead of slow boat from China like with GB3), so if I've got time I'll fire it up after I get home from work.

I tried it for the same reason you did, out of curiosity. Its great for Pokemon fans or people who enjoy being outside, but the allure is mostly lost on me. It doesn't help that the game is still unstable as hell and the distribution of points-of-interest is skewed where you can either find a lot or find nothing. Also, I like air conditioning, especially since I live in Satan's armpit where the highs are currently over 100F and the humidity is oppressive.

IF you weren't a fan, it won't be of much interest.

I didn't get a Max because I wasn't gonna deal with the PO Madness BS and its not a limited/premium so I'm not paying over-inflated prices from the usual suspects just to do it. I'll get one if I can get one, but I'm not gonna kill myself for it.
In my opinion part of it is lean manufacturing practices (sort of a Pyrrhic Win-Win), part of it is the manufacturer's response to collector culture. These aren't cheap toys and you can't have a ton of unsold inventory lying around. Collectors are also a fickle bunch that cover a wider spectrum of "rabidity". If you know you're going to move product regardless, it doesn't really matter that much what kind of wailing and gnashing of teeth your consumer experiences.

My investment in a PS4 is definitely paying off. That lineup is kinda lackluster, though. The inclusion of Crossbone is nice for Gundam, but they need to just animate that already instead of teasing us with a million mangas and cameos and kits.
