I think I'll grin and bear it for a month or two when the Grendizer's released... and then he may also be available at BBTS or some other U.S. hobby shop. Just imagine Grendizer now as a revoltech figure doing all those super-impossible poses, with weapons, flight mode, whatever... now imagine other robots like Mazinger-Z, Raideen, Combattler, Voltes, Jeeg, and many others doing the same badazz poses. zozo-Magengar

Ive preordered a couple from Amiami also to go along with my 12" Vinyl and my awesome metaltech version I have to admit, though I have no personal connection to the mech and I've never seen the show, I DO like the design. It's got a nice "super robot meets carnival"* vibe to it - flashy and yet understated and sophisticated - that appeals. * with that I no doubt ticked off many, many, people, for which I apologize

email and ask i suppose but doesnt seem they are set up for any other method at this time.
BTW for those who will wait for domestic release youll probably pay around 36 for it so you will save by going international, unless the dollar falls even further.........some how lol lol

hello i'd like to order 3 Grendizer do you think the 3 boxes could be shipped (together ) in Sal Parcel ? I want to avoid EMS....

Probably. Revoltechs usually come in small boxes and are quite light (and cheap). Even three of them should still fit within SAL's limits.
But if you want to know if AmiAmi will ship them by SAL, you'd be better off asking them directly.

They will exceed the size limit. However, Amiami is having 50% off on EMS shopping for the month of February, which will be a lot cheaper than Registered SAL anyway.

Are you sure about that?
SAL is limited to packages under 90cm of combined width + height + depth. It's enough to fit three typical Revoltech boxes.

Keep in mind that the "typical" Revoltech boxes are much larger than they used to be, which is a pity because their nice compact size was always a boon. The standard seems to be gravitating more towards the "deluxe" sized packaging first seen on the ARX-8 Lavatenn, although I don't think we've seen Grendizer's packaging yet to be sure.
One thing to remember though is that Amiami adds 700 yen to the shipping price of ANY SAL order, so if it's something on the borderline, it might not end up being worth it.

One thing to remember though is that Amiami adds 700 yen to the shipping price of ANY SAL order, so if it's something on the borderline, it might not end up being worth it. According to HLJ, the ARX-8's box is 21.9cm x 21.6cm x 6.8cm. Put three of those back-to-back and you have a near-cube of ~22x22x21cm. Small enough to fit into a 30cm-wide cubic box with sufficient padding. And there is no way it would be to heavy for SAL. I agree though that EMS at %50 off would be a better alternative anyway. But I'm convinced that, on paper, three Grendizer Revoltechs could fit within SAL limits. If AmiAmi won't do it, it will more likely be because they don't have the appropriate box. But Goldorak, if for some reason (customs and taxes, maybe, I don't know and it's really none of my business) you wish to go with SAL anyway, I'd ask AmiAmi directly instead of taking anyone's speculations for facts (including mine).
