I just bought that 170 dollar Lithium battery... damn I feel guilty. It was the only way to save that 9lbs though without dropping 3K in exotic metals and carbon fiber...
no not yet.. only thing they said about it was that the Flying Tiger is looking outstanding..

I love pick-ups, had two before I had to get something more "practical" lol. I do love the new 2015 GMC Heavy Duty's and would love to get a 3/4 ton crew cab with the diesel in it but I don't have $60,000+ right now to buy one boo hoo lol. Back on topic, but do we have a release date or price for Gattaiger yet? La Cité des Nuages in Belgium, should have it in April for 140 euros... www.lacitedesnuages.be/boutique/fiche_produit.cfm?ref=PRE-HDR791&type=35&code_lg=lg_fr&num=16 |

Ok ... if it is priced around the170 , 200 $ mark then hlpro can forget about selling it easily! Heck Gin Gin was priced really high for what it is and what it gives!

Hmmm... That is a little too high indeed. The Grendizer And Spacer DX set was around $150 when it was released. $200 is going to be hard to swallow for fans that don't have any attachment for the character. I dunno... Guess we'll just have to wait and see.  }D |

$200? Ouch that's a bit too pricey for a very obscure super robot. Not sure if people will bite at that price. Even some people find Sentinel expensive even if most of their toys are well engineered.

No brainer for me,200$ doesnt seem that unusual,remember it was several years back the Grendizer DX was released,so of course this later entry will be more money.Gattaiger is a must for me.It may just be the price this particular business is asking also,may be cheaper elsewhere.
Im sure HLPro sees the trend of small companies like ET asking crazy prices for plastic magnet robots and getting those prices! At least it comes with a cool Spacer,and its a diecast toy I can forgive a bit cuz of that.
And again in this hobby having $$ is everything,wish that werent true but it is.This is a small niche in the toy collecting world,the smaller the niche the bigger the dollar.I dont happen to have alot of money,but i do spend alot on toys,you just have to budget right.And alwys put money away toward robots,there will always be another toy you want in the near future,at any point in time.
No matter what these toys will always be more $ than we think they should be,its the nature of it.
Damn Ive noticed Ive started to write book long posts like Magengar ! LOL.

Yeah, this hobby is expensive, but it is our own fault it is. The moment we band together and let these companies releases gather dust on their shelves, is the moment we will see these same companies adjust their prices to more realistic ones. Small companies or not, if they want to sell their stuff, they need to become more realistic and competitive... or just dedicate themselves to making Ford parts. }D |

I agree with tmz ! I love to support toy companies but sometimes there should be limits!
I remember when gx01r first came it was priced arround 50 $ and it did have every thing you wanted in a mazinger toy! And the articulation level is close to the recent gin gin which is priced around 120 or more

That price is actually pretty close to what I had expected.. youre basically buying two 90 dollar figures at once.
