Mine is waiting for me at my Condo manager's office and won't be able to pick it up for a few hours. The waiting IS the hardest part.
ARGH! Just got home to find a note saying the night desk man will not be in this evening! ARGH!!!!

its an awful move honestly, you know how many Jet ScranderS hover\jet pilderS we got ? at least 10 and most of it is setting inside the box i love Bandai but im getting tired of the TWE move every time, and its not even worth to be a TWE item, if its a full figure then i might look away but just for additional small parts that they could include with the original release in the first place its just unprofessional i want all of your money move, i hope they rethink that in the future, its not like their other projects is not selling well or they rarely have a hit product That's because your looking through the glasses of a non-Japanese resident. If you were living in Japan ordering a TWE would be like ordering a pizza, where you put your order in and it just shows up at your door a few months later. Granted I do accept that the price we pay as non-Japanese residents is unfair but I do understand why. My only gripe would be if they made it open to other countries like they did with the TWE Spazer where other residents besides the Japanese could order one straight from Bandai, but I'm guessing that was a one time deal. Could they have included all VS's set with the original release? Maybe, it would have driven up costs and quite honestly I personally don't want anything from the VS set except maybe the little statue. I just want the Hover Pilder as no representation of the original Mazinger Z is complete without it. The Scrander tail fin with the Z is nice to have too. The statue is cool but as I am not a Devilman fan kinda useless as is the extra stand. I would love to see them include effects parts like they do with the SRC line but a little more intricate and cool.

Once again, it was the fact that you came in with a poorly written/translated review that was obviously prejudiced(whining how he wanted a Grendizer, okay we get it and we want one too!) and then you started bemoaning that there is no Grendizer yourself. It is fine to have an opinion but express them in the correct way and in the correct place. Complaining there is no Grendizer in a thread about a brand new release of Mazinger Z with people who are actually happy about the release is inappropriate at best. LOL....I am sorry but that is the funniest thing you have written so far. Inappropriate? Hahahaha. Okay. Well I guess there is really nothing left to say because I explained myself quite well and you are still not getting it. How about this...don't quote me or talk to me because I only talk to people who can understand what I am saying. It's useless to keep talking to you. You don't control what anyone says here. You're not in control. Get it through that pretty little head you have and try to use your brain to comprehend it. Yes, mister I like to accuse others of not "getting it" when it's patently obvious I am the one who is not getting it, it is inappropriate to come to this thread and start denigrating what it's about just because you are not getting what you want like some petulant child.

I am glad that you recognize my language skills. The main problem I have is you coming to this thread about the GX-70 Mazinger Z DC and based on a review that was translated badly using a software tool and is obviously prejudiced as well, bashing the SoC on some pretty big suppositions and the fact he is not the character you or the reviewer would have liked to have seen. I love Grendizer but I love Mazinger too. The video I posted showed 23 minutes of exquisite detail and a good review from the person doing it. I can't just trust the review you posted as it was poorly translated and comes from someone with an obvious prejudice. If you want to talk about the lack of Grendizer SoCs please create a new thread instead of dumping all over this one. I and plenty of other people or very excited for this release. I feel like you are not really understanding what the word opinion and impression means. If I or someone else feel that the figure has any flaws or cons...we are COMPLETELY entitled to our opinion about it. Unless I am mistaken...there is no rule that says you have to praise this figure or don't comment? Why are you behaving like this review is a personal attack on you? Do you work for Bandai? were you on the team that designed the figure? No? If not then I suggest you leave me be and anyone else who will speak about the negatives on this figure. You were wrong both times so please if I were you I would quit with the attitude because you have no right to control what I do or do not say about this figure. As for the translation, I don't think it confused anyone except maybe for you. I actually found it interesting and funny at the same time. Unless that is forbidden by the Forum rules in which case I will gladly delete the post. Stop bugging me please. Once again, it was the fact that you came in with a poorly written/translated review that was obviously prejudiced(whining how he wanted a Grendizer, okay we get it and we want one too!) and then you started bemoaning that there is no Grendizer yourself.

The reviewer had very good points in his review of the GX-70. For example I for one at least expected there to be a flight stand for Mazinger because his flying pose was used as one of the main images to showcase this figure. He also mentioned the fact that the articulation in the legs is limited not unlike the first GX-01 Mazinger and should have been more like the highly articulated GX-45 Shin Mazinger. Now I have fears that they won't make Grendizer or if they do, they will mess him up...even though he deserved a second fresh release for many years now. It's been 17 years since GX-04 was released and he does belong in the D.C line. Your'e reviewer had unreasonable expectations for a flight stand when we have known the exact contents of the product for months and the additional cost for such a stand would make it prohibitive in the eyes of Bandai. There's never been a flight stand before for SoC Mazingers. I would be grateful for a Grendizer done as well as the GX-70. He, and you it seems, has sour grapes over there being no new Grendizer. Shame, 'cause this is a Mazinger figure, no need to denigrate because it's not the Super Robot you would have liked.

That small of a push back is typically a logistical issue. A container hasn't cleared custome somewhere etc. Well if they are sitting in a container on a ship we don't have to worry about them rusting much since mostly plastic. LoL. I love the sculpt on this figure so much which is the only reason I am getting him.

Ugh, just pre-ordered and pre-paid the VS myself. Was very conflicted but yeah, the Hover Pilder and Z logo on the Scrander won me over.

Not enough die cast content, about the same as ET. Looks very plastic too. Looks nice but definitely plastic.

Yeah it looks nice but should probably be moved to the Plastic Robots Revel/Rio/Sentinel/Evolution board.

AmiAmi just sent me an e-mail stating the release date for Z Mazinger has changed. I had to go to the web site to find out the release has been moved to February. I guess we all knew that ET would not be able to keep up the furious release pace. www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-026705

As far as Diecast content on Zero goes, I have SoC's with quite a bit less.
