From what I remember they've never ran a second batch for DX Valks. Only reissues or bundled option parts down the line I wish they would bundle with options parts soon as I missed the pre-order as well... ... I'm gonna guess there wont be one till the next 3 repaints are released at least. But who knows its a new line now

Well the designer is the artist for Linebarrels of Iron and if you look at that the ZoE influences are even more obvious. Now I wish there are more linebarrel figures (the Alter one is cool but price is absurd nowdays)
are you saying it was design by the same guy ?
I'm pretty damn sure its the same guy. Look at how the guy draws the manga for linebarrel/ ultraman and compare it to that image on page one and you'll see. The design language is 100% him with the tiny head. exaggerated shoulders/ arms and distinct lack of feet lol

Its pretty much known that they pretty much scalp from other stores too high demand stuff like DX Valks That is just total greed and very unusual business practice....... Main reason why I never buy from them. First found them whilst looking for DX Valks so immediately found out about it

The waist is almost as thin as the upper arms...I wish sentinel took some design liberties rather than being 100% faithful to Shimoguchi's design

Anyone know if I just need to email Amiami with my order number to change shipping address of a PO? Feel like I've done it before but it was ages ago.

So how did it go for you guys? Says I got 2 orders in but idk if thats accurate considering how it got through even at the 2min mark.
EDIT: Got in 2 at amiami and 1 at HLJ. oddly painless this time around (waiting on HLJ confirmation).

Are you able to connect that orange plane (i forgot the name of it) to the back of the Strike gundam? What's the deal with this? I don't recall it being a flight pack for Strike gundam. gundam.wikia.com/wiki/GAT-X105%2BAQM/E-X04_Gunbarrel_Strike_GundamIt's an MSV variation, but... Supposedly? Lol. Doesn't matter, it's all part of Bandai's dark conspiracy. Guess none of you guys watched SEED (even the first few eps). Thats a mobile armor of a different character. The beginning was basically Strike and that MA that defends the ship.

damn that looks good
some of the design cues remind me of Anubis from Zone Of The Enders game

Honestly what put this one over the top for me was how much better it looked than the Fewture attempt which just came off insanely awkward to me (not arguing; just making conversation.) Personally, I'm looking forward to this one and oddly enough I got Duke and Omega X in the mail yesterday and have been wondering where to share pics; do you know where a thread is for them if there's one at all? I can totally see why someone would dislike the Fewture rendition but I guess to me the scarf was cool enough for me (and I got it before we knew the original was getting reissued). I don't think there are threads for the X antibody stuff but you could probably start one up.

Can you elaborate on what the exclusives are? If its interesting I may pick it up as I was planning on waiting for the VF-1S. And for those who are PO'in DX Chogokin Valks for the first time be prepared for a fight. This thing is probably going to go out even faster than the VF-25S renewal (new record for sold out for me, 5 seconds and gone). It will come with a adjustable display stand for fighter mode. wtf why would that not be the standard for new valks now... I hope they don't start selling it separately later...

So if I read this right, it will be available at hlj and similar JP retailers, correct? Yup this will be available to all Japanese retailers, but be warned the first edition will come with exclusives and this thing is going to be hard enough to get so be prepared lol.

Got close to ordering one but got a TungMung Duke X instead. I feel like if I get another Riobot Shin Getter I'd just get another one of the original. Guess I have a bias towards the classic red and white scheme I think one of the main things I was disappointed with this figure was the lack of extras/ changes made to it. Since I have Fewtures black shin getter the claw and asymmetrical forearm blades make it way more interesting than the tiny claws the riobot verson gets.

Axe and wing looks pretty cool but Shimoguchi needs to to draw some damn feet in his mechs...
Really intrigued by the accessories it comes with but considering the price its way too much for me.

Bandai did the weakest run for the Wing 0 composit. I relish the day a 3rd party comes out with a KO of it The problem was - it was P-Bandai for whatever reason. Due to demand, Bandai had 3 production runs of Wing Zero, so it wasn't a weak run at all. Making it P-Bandai made it hard to acquire though. Very simple reason for it being P-bandai actually. Highly sought after suit thus easy mark up with P-bandai prices. Doing the premium thing slowly allows them to mark up the prices of the other releases overall as long as the quality improves. Just look at the history of MB or the DX Chogokin Macross line. EDIT: sorry for the double post. forgot how to multiquote
