OK, I did hear back from the guys at AssembleSuit.com. Here's what they wrote: Dear, Mr. Comer, Thank you for your interest in our Assemble Suit. All items from ‘AssembleSuit.com’ are for sale. And the sales of product will begin in end of September, 2009. More information will be provided in our future bulletins soon. If you have any idea about ‘Assemble Suit’, please let us know it. It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Best Regards, Paul Hong. Very exciting news. Can't wait to pick up a couple of these for the future crews!

Keeping it close to the chest for now though until I have some sketches. PM me for specifics if you wanna know more! LOL! Definitely down for a group buy of course!

Nobody talking about this? July 13 update, WonderFest JarkPretty cool looking, I like the use of colors on the clear body. I'm trying so hard to swear off AB, I'm not a fan of clear plastic as a rule, but the metallic red, blue, and green guys shown on the last page from the mook are exactly what I wanted from the line. They'll be very hard to resist. Emerje

Wow, that's the first time I've seen that. Pretty cool...using red revolvers in the shoulders adds a nice effect. Not looking forward to aftermarket prices though

I can't see Domu's pic either, I see everything else fine so it must be that image specifically...
I saw the clear Jark yesterday over at Revoltech express, and although I am a total AB fanatic...I have two of every kit (though I'd love to have more Barrles Speeders) and plan to continue this, well, until I can't afford it or the line ends, whichever is first...I just can't justify getting too excited over it for certain reasons.
The regular prices for ABs (at least for non-Japanese collectors) are anywhere from $10-$20 more than an average regular release Revo and that doesn't include shipping. With how expensive past WF exclusives have been, this thing is bound to be $100 right off the line, even if you have a good contact, and will undoubtedly sky rocket into the $200+ range shortly thereafter. By all means though, if you can afford to procure one, it will undoubtedly be a neat piece to have...
Not to say that it isn't a neat looking figure, as it most certainly is...those red joints embedded in that clear body definitely look cool...and despite a lot of the naysayers, the Jarknoids are easily as nifty as the original AB guys are.
Ultimately, I guess I'm just happy that in addition to my other collecting I can actually afford to AND have a reliable source through which to collect multiples of the regular AB lineup, and I'm just going to be content with that at this point in time... ;D

yeah they arent the easiest to get your hands on but with time i have been able to aquire a few for around 45 some for a little bit less. I have gotten more selective though and decided to pass on jeeg cuz face it he is hedious and i dont really care for his option parts. i planned on getting another speeder bike but not sure if i need to or not.
I do imagine the sales these would generate if they went mainstreem however! and the fact that i feel like buying more revlos so i can use them with my ABs (regretting selling all of my excess revlos now). Oh well...... exclusives are definitely the "thing" in the land of the rising son. As long as they continue to sell out online, they will continue to sell them this way.

Apparently , the revoltech Gurren & Lagann comes with a "Mini-Assembleborg" figure. Anyone know how tall the mini figure is?

Thanks! I just ordered the Gurren & Lagann Revoltech, and I was wondering about the bonus figure. Don't get too excited, it only has two real Revolver joints, the rest are fake "dummy joints" that are in a fixed position. You can spin them on their pegs, but they don't bend. Emerje
