I know this is going back and forth, and is pretty much meaningless anyway, but I still don't see the problem. HLPro would be pre-selling the limited nunbered HLPro "exclusive" figure (with bonus, or signed, or numbered, etc), and distributors the regular ones. Price could be the same, or even a little higher. I know that if for example, the Gattaiger was being sold from HLPro, exclusively signed by the sculptor, I would still purchase mine from the vendor that takes pre-orders. Figures being the same color and all, I will go with the one that delivers it to me first. A bonus poster, or signature means nothing to me. I did not suggest the bonus be an effect, or different head, or enemy ship. No, the bonus has to be "insignificant" for most collectors. Otherwise, of course folks will go with HLPro for sure. Anyway, I'm still waiting for, but way less excited about, the Gattaiger.  }| |

Tom no one likes ordering from Europe the mail from Italy,France etc is terrible,when I said thats better above about France I was being sarcastic,European mail systems flat out SUCK.Ive been lucky with Italy 3 times,but wouldnt order again from them,too many horror stories of lost and or stolen items directly by post officials.Maybe you didnt know this but its a fact. |

Well since ArtStorm is involved now, so hopefully likes of HLJ, AE and BBTS will be more involved.
That was a great move by HLPro.

I am sure it will show up on ebay in a few more days.. I bet art-storm will put it up, that's Japan... if not, PBM will put it up a few weeks later. PBM EU will be shipping I think it was 100 units but its gonna take a bit more time for them to get here.. so, a US seller will be out there its just gonna take a bit longer.. just sit tight guys, it will be available.

I know that BBTS knew about Gatttiger, they weren't interested... they didn't think there were enough US buyers for it. ..to be honest, that is probably true... I bet those 100 units that PBM are bringing over are going to take a year to sell.. EU is going to sell pretty fast, maybe Japan also but they are not sure. |

Well, I WAS waiting on the Gattaiger to become available. However, I just decided not to get it. I'm not a person that likes to be kept waiting for absolutely no reason, so, I'll spend my money on other stuff. Thanks for the waiting-game HLPro and pertinent distributors. }| |

Like I said, I "WAS" waiting, but today was the drop that spilled the cup. I'm out.

ha ha like a kid waiting on Christmas.. be patient, they just unveiled it two days ago.. should be up any day now in Japan. USA is going to be at least a week. No hurry.. that's why HLpro hates when the retailers do pre-orders.. they are trying to sell things that aren't available yet waaay before its ready, some of the Italian and French fans have been waiting for months on pre-orders and HLpro doesn't have anything to do with that.. . Anyway.. go look on HLPRO's facebook. The Japanese went crazy over that Gattiger.

Nah, I'm done with the Gattaiger. I'll only get it if it basically drops on my lap. I just hate the "surprise release date" games. }| |

I saw the announcement of the chrome version of Gattaiger set that will be available in Japan market for 19,800 yen. Anyone knows if the figure has a decent articulations, specially from the waist down? Couldn't figure it out by looking at the their official photos.
