This piece is obviously going to be available in North America, so I'm waiting to see what it runs for out here. I hope it's competitive. Unfortunately the US MSRP price is $249.99, which is higher than the Japanese. So I would keep an eye on both Japanese & US retailers if there will be sales or POs reopening. And jump on one with the price you feel most comfortable with. Nippon Yasan has one of the lowest PO prices. And with shipping, it came out the a hair less Thant $250. I usually do Entertainment Earth, and take advantage of their low price guarantee and free shipping. Animepoko usually posts the lowest prices in North America, but they are shady as hell. Regardless, that's how I got the Combattler V DX SOC for $470 shipped.

I actually pre-ordered both the Tactical Arms and the Red Frame Kai, partially because I wasn't sure which I wanted but also because I wanted to do my part and give the USA P-Bandai shop some business so they realize there's an international demand for this stuff. I DID THE EXACT SAME THING. I guess a good friend of mine will be receiving a red frame kai from me for their birthday or whatever... unless there's someone out here who wants to buy it from me at cost.

I'm glad to hear it's an option part. If they tried re-releasing it as a whole new MB release I would be pissed. im especially interested in seeing what tricks the Quan[t] has. Since 3rd parties have already created one, bandai needs to show the world how it's done. The separating armor pieces around the legs is intriguing. The forward arm panels open up too along with the chests, and even the feet too. They are probably going for a possible secondary Quantum Burst Mode. I would not be surprised there's LEDs to light up the GN drive. View AttachmentView AttachmentNIIIIIICCCCCCEEEEEEEE

Did people get their shipping notice for Red Frame "Powered Red" arms from Japanese re-sellers yet??? I have a pre-order from Nippon-Yasan. But I have heard that they sometimes cancel pre-orders and then sell the items at a higher price as new in-stock items. Should I be worried? ? no, you shouldn't be worry, when Nippon-yassan cancels your pre order it will be in the beginning, (like within a couple of days of your pre order), not near release. if you check your order history, it will probably be in preparation already . But since the item is large they might be working on sending you a extra invoice for the added shipping cost due to possible size and weight increase. I got my shipping notice from biginjapan. I got my packing order on Monday. If you haven't heard anything from them, you might want to contact them.

I like the powered red option set after watching the video. NY has it for 24000 yen (was 22xxx yen before but they raised the price as usual). I placed an order with jp post ferry as shipping method (2900 yen, and I don't mind waiting). First time I used ferry as shipping method. Cross fingers that it will come through. Wow, their stock much have just arrived . it was still out of stock this morning. I think they get their stock whenever the release date is, but because it came in Friday, and they're closed on weekends, I'm under the impression it takes a couple days to fulfill orders and count stock. Zrli5027, the problem with the slow boat is how terribly unpredictable it is. I've had packages sitting in Japan for a month before it got on a boat. When they say "3 months" they aren't kidding. I've had tons of orders through NY shipped to me through ferry, and I'm sorry to say that two orders have go missing. HOWEVER, I had those packages shipped to me to a shady part of town. All of it got to America and disappeared in Los Angeles. Fortunately I don't live there anymore, and I haven't had a problem since.

I just saw it at entertainment earth. They do free shipping in the US, and they also have a low price guarantee, so you can refer to other retailers (whose pre-order had closed), and match their price. i usually refer to Animepoko when it comes to getting the lowest price, and they always match it. How does that work? Do they match it at the time you preorder or when they ask for payment? And how do you bring the lower price to their attention? Thanks After I put in my order, I wait till I get a affirmation email, then I just go over the list here on the EE page www.entertainmentearth.com/help/faq.asp?category=Low%20Price%20GuaranteeEmail them the info, at cs@entertainmentearth.com I get a reply usually the next business day, and a handful of days later they'll email me to tell me if it complies or not. (It usually complies) What's good is they don't charge you till the item is in stock, so you can pre-order the item without having to put up a penny. Hope this helps.

I am conflicted. I don't know whether to think that's brilliant or kinda low if you know what I mean. Animepoko is a scammer site. That's why I use animepoko. Cause they're scammers. f**k them. Also, animepoko is offering the cheapest price I've seen for the toy. $471.

I'm waiting a couple days to see if it shows up at Entertainment Earth. Shipping on this guy is going to be a pain on the wallet, and EE's free shipping might really pay off. Fingers crossed

Btw, what's up with the treads? That photo looks like extra thick rubber. If I'm throwing half a grand at this guy they better make plastic treads (like the general frankly)

Damn, I've found it for about $530-$560 online, but shipping is going to SUCK. Fingers crossed it gets North American distribution. I'm not sure if waiting to see if it does is prudent, or if I'm a fool for not jumping on it now

The wing design reminds me of the upcoming High Resolution model, with the extra set of wings. It definitely looks nice. I hope they produce a ton of them, like they did the last handful of Fix Figuration Metal Composites.

Happy I haven't actually bought an SOC Dancouga yet. Going to have to grab one of these!
