I was tempted to order one fron Angolz, but after what just happened to me with the supposedly web exclusive Evolution Toy Daiku Maryu, I'm gonna hold off until Amiami or HLJ get it. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) }D I bought my SRC Mazinger Z + Mazinger Weapon set and Great Mazinger from AmiAmi. Good prices, yes, but because they insist to inc. a receipt with the items they ship, the damn Egypt customs charged me for almost double the price that I got them for ![>:(](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/angry.png) so they cost me around $300 USD! So, guys...I want that DX SOC Mazinger Z...do you think it will be available on eBay later, as I cannot buy from eShops that inc. receipts with the items? There are a few reputable sellers on Ebay that do pre-orders, usually at a fairly reasonable price, but I'm not sure how Ebay covers resolution problems when dealing with pre-orders. In fact here's a listing from a seller that has 100% feedback... the price seems fairly close I think, considering this has free shipping. www.ebay.com/itm/BANDAI-DX-SOC-SOUL-CHOGOKIN-ANIME-40TH-ANNI-MAZINGER-Z-300MM-DIECAST-SKELETON-/280903782690?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41672b9122

Hmmm... I thought posting of live auctions was a big no-no It still is, but this one's not an auction.

Okay, so fixed price are okay to post then. I still have issues with Ebay sellers and the waiting time until the item is actually released. I lost $175 to an excellent Ebay seller that had over 25,000 positive feedbacks with no negatives because I paid for the pre-order and when the item was released seven months later he never shipped it or even answered any of my emails. Ebay didn't care, Paypal didn't care, and the credit card I used with Paypal didn't care. So I chucked that one to a learning experience... an expensive $175 learning experience... ![:'(](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/cry.png) }DD

So how do these preorders work? (And do they vary per webstore?) Do you have to prepay the entire cost? Or do you just pay a smaller downpayment now?

Ken at Toy-Wave will often bring in a specially requested item for you, even if it's something he wouldn't normally carry. Just contact him through the Toy-Wave web site.

A-stance? That's not really what I would call articulation. I want to see those knees bend! ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) }D

I really didn't want a Mazinger Z figure with all those features. What I wanted was a Mazinger Z figure that looked just like the GX-01 prototype (circa 1997). I'll get the DX SOC Mazinger, yes, but I am not as excited about it as you fellows are. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) }D

Even though you may not be as excited compared to if you got exactly what you wanted, you are probably still more excited than most if not all of us! Having said that, I'm pretty darn excited myself about this release, more so than I am with the black getter repaint.
