Hey thanks Anubis, you're right! There is a waist joint. I guess mine was too tight. I didn't want to force it in case I was wrong and the thing broke at the hip. Thanks for the correction. Thanks Ryomakabuto. The Drill Missiles plate wasn't attached too well in the photo, my bad, sorry about that. D'oh, you're right about the electronics, not to mention the SOC Yamato, Andromeda and Ideon. I must be really getting old. Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate the headsup. Gold No prob. Thanks for the review!! I just got mine at work!! I wanna go home now to open it but I have to wait until 4 I also need to pick up batteries on the way home. Thanks for being so thorough on what was needed.

Gold you said there is no waist joint, but ive seen pics with the waist rotated. Are you talking about a different type of waist joing missing?

Yes I think the same thing. I don't like giant super robots that can move like ninjas either, that is why I never really liked the new Mazinkaiser skl. I liked the big and slow all powerful beast the first Mazinkaiser was. I also liked the Big-O show, and if it wasn't for that strange neck Big-O would be one of my favorites. He was like a huge slow moving super powerful tank made to take punishment and dish it out. Reminded me of how Mazinger was in his show too. I have to admit, I do not really see the strange next thing you are talking about. Sitting here in my office, looking at my Big O, and I I see is this giant powerful walking tank. His neck armour is similar to what is called a gorget on a real suit of armour. Yup I see no neck problem

I hate that Amazon now charges sales tax here in California. I used to buy all my stuff from them, be it food, DVD's and of course toys. Only way for me to get around it is if I buy on Amazon Marketplace and check if the seller is out of of state. its only a matter of time before they tax everyone and that will suck. I buy everything from them with the free 2 day shipping. whenever I think of anything I need to buy I hit amazon first.

And mine is still on preorder As was mine, seems like BBTS bought the most stock of this but are getting them last. Makes no sense.

I never got into Big O, maybe because his neck design is so weird. I don't mind the funky arms and giant hands, but his neck is unsightly. Or it might be the tiny head and weird neck. Giant robo has oversized parts, like his shoulders and skirt, but his overall look is still pleasing to me. I gotta admit the Big O is sort of an acquired taste thing. Before watching the show i had no interest in it. After watching the show i fell in love with it. It was a big and slow robot, it was kinda refreshing from all the ninja robots there are now in days.

No taxes here in MD from amazon, I got mine with overnight shipping for $370! Gotta love amazon prime and it should be here tomorrow. Im now so glad for the BBTS delay and the lack of communication from betatoys. Edit: Whoa!!! Price just went back up to the $439.99 on Amazon!! Hopefully this doesn’t mean order cancellations for the ones that got in at $366.00

20.40lbs is quite heavy for an action-figure specimen such as this DX Maz. (the Maz, and his hangar included) Well, to give you an idea of the weight, my HP zd7000 17" laptop weighs close to 18 lbs with its power chord included, when I carry it alone inside my backpack. If anyone here has this laptop or similar, then you know how heavy it is. So yeah, you can expect to pay a considerable amount for a 20 lb package. zozo-mag I just put my DX custom Mazinger on my scale and it weights 2.4 pounds! This is with the armor on like in the videos I posted. Funny that the shipping weight is 20.4 pounds... the actual figure is only one tenth of the total weight. ;D }D Looks like Max Gokin Big O has it beat by 2 oz and its 1/5 of the total weight of the package.

I actually keep a visa gift card with a $1 balance as my main method of payment. That way i can pay for my pre-orders with a paypal balance. This sucks im so jealous of the shipping notices... Im stuck with the February shipment, they said it was due to a problem with the vendor.

Sweet, I've been waiting for BBTS to get it so I could ship it with a Portal Gun that I ordered a while back. That's going to be some box they're going to ship these in if they pack them into a single box! I got Masterpiece Soundwave in my POL im still waiting on Mazinger, on my preorder page it changed to February 2013

at least nobody should get a broken one or with missing pieces if they are going to inspect them like they said. Or they are just taking them out of the outer box. The good thing is that they are not just shipping them out in that outer box.

BTW guys I emailed them and asked if they can keep the shipping boxes intact. Your welcome I read back a couple of posts and realized another concern was also about the outer box. I also didnt get one with my Golion jumbo so im hoping they dont remove it for mazinger. I sent an email about that yesterday and havent gotten a response. Edit: Just got a response "Because this item is delicate and expensive we will be opening the statue to inspect before we ship it out. Which means it will be packed in our box. Please rest assured we will package the product to make sure it arrives to you in the best possible condition" Looks like no outer box for us.
