Its going to be tough, I almost never see used HLpro stuff for sale. Production numbers are real low, collectors buy it and they hold on to it.. Like Ive said before, buying single figures is not the way to get a good deal.. you wanna approach a dealer with a good wad of cash in hand and start trying to cut a deal for 3 or 4 figures that you want.. youll come out much much better that way.

Yeah I know. Kicking myself for missing out when amazon was clearing them out at $90. Stupidly thought they might drop more then the next day they are back up to $140.
What dealers even have these? I know of two robot stores I can check out locally soon, but I doubt either will have it.

I think its got $170 on it but Im pretty sure I can get him to come down a bit for a RJ member.. |

Pardon my ignorance, but what exactly is PBM? I know it's a store, but it don't know what it stands for or where to go to order from them. |

PBM is actually the USA's central importer's store shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.688859/it.A/id.206/.fbut ACME also has one sitting on the shelf just up the road from me.. I can go talk to them and have them call you if you want.. what country are you in? |

Ah interesting. And anyone can just order from this PBM? So, people band together to order cases and split them up, is that the idea?
I'm in Los Angeles.

yeah anyone can order.. Im sure if you and a few guys that you trust wanted to go in on something yeah he would give you a discount IM sure.. but its gotta all be shipped to one place though all in one order.. then you can break it down between you guys/
Get your boys together come up with a wish-list , shoot it off to PBM's email right there on that site and ask him what he can do for you as far as a discount on a big order like that? Ask him what its gonna take to close the deal..he will work with you. I think my first big order with him (his name is Paul) was like for 5 major release type figures. He made it well worth my while doing that.. and savings on the shipping alone were real good.

GS, all eyes (well for some of us Grendy fans are anyway) are on HLPro's Grendy V2 release now.
As long as the price is comparable to at most Gin Gin (come on, don't get too greedy) and don't drop the ball on quality, then HLPro will have something to celebrate.
Imagine, Grendy figure to rule them all~ CMs, Bandai's, Marmit's might all kneel before true king of Grendy.
How's that sound HLPro?

I don't really see anything else on PBM I or my friends would want to order, so it doesn't look like I'll be getting any deals there. How low do you think your LCS could go? There is one on eBay for $141 shipped right now. Think he could beat that? |

Its going to be more than Gin Gin, it has to be because its a "deluxe kit" die cast spazer is going to be included you can bet on that.. |

Thanks for the warning......keep it under $180ish shipped with the spacer then I,m gamed. Close, Id say 200ish.. for that you get a "Gin Gin-plus" type figure and a Spazer that is a lot nicer than HLpros last one (still my favorite one on the market) along with other stuff... its going to be a good deal. The figure and Spazer wont be as big as the CM but don't worry.. they promised all of us that it will be the best MT yet. Based on what I saw from both HLpro and the CM, I know you are going to like it better than the other stuff that is out there. The new spazer looks like the old HLpro Spazer the same basic proportions but better, and it does a lot more.. the figure looks ALOT like a HLpro drawing of Grendizer. It will have "Gim Gin based" technology but better and tailored to the Character. It will be SOLID, COMPACT and have a nice weight to it. I gave a lot of info out right there, but a lot of it was stuff that HLpro has already mentioned directly or indirectly on facebook so I think its safe for me to tell you guys this now that the CM is out to the public. Everyone has fired off its shot and now HLpro is getting ready to fire off its "Grendizer shot".. the ball is in Hlpro's court now.. it all looks good from what Im seeing. |

My Gin Gin out of its box...    It may not be an SRC, but it can pull out some pretty cool poses... UNASSISTED! }D |

Nice! Ill get one sooner or later once funds are freed up lol. From what I've seen and read this figure could have benefited from the pull out ball joint system like on GX-45. You wouldn't get extreme SRC posing but it would increase articulation.But I'm pretty sure Bandai has that system patented.
