Any chance it will drop in price? Haven't bought yet. Just shear laziness.

They don't mention how many they have left in stock. I suppose they've still got plenty, so I'd say yes, there's a chance it will, especially considering DX Mazinger Z's price drop.

Any news of the possible re-issue with the Maz DX and Scrander? I remember a rumor on this thread(from Charles, I think) about a release w/o the hangar...

At this point I doubt it,the set itself is already cheap enough as is these days.I really cant see them selling a DX maz without the hangar for less than 300$.So for 50$ more you get teh hangar which is way worth it.

Yeah, it is a pretty impressive figure yo begin with. A better elbows locking mechanisim, wireless on/off switch, better hip articulation, and full time LED eyes would have made it perfect. The hangar is great too! }D

Yep. I just wish the Hangar was a plugin item so you could keep it on all the time too.
I was playing with mine yesterday and once you figure out the elbows you hardly have troubles. Learning curve on those

True. The hangar should've been a plug-in type. Yeah, the elbows are tricky, but once they are on the way they are supposed to be they will not give you trouble... unless they are twisted by the connection joint instead of by the biceps. I haven't had any issues with mine either, but I do keep an eye on them when posing the figure. I think they should've been sturdier and less finicky. }D

I think the elbows should have been wrapped in removable ribbed rubber hoses, just like the elbows on the Medicom RAH Mazinger figure... ...that way, when you bend and pose the arms, they won't appear so "naked" with all that air space between the forearm and the bicep. zozo-mag

I agree. Don't worry, when I finally get my DX Maz I'll just cut small pieces of yellow sticky paper to the shape of the eyes and use the paper as the Yellow-eye effect. I won't mess with the 'tronics on mine. I've decided to wait until Christmas to score him. Right now I've got other priorities going on; and I also wanna get my SRC Mazingers (Mazinger-Z, and Kaiser) in order before I go after the DX. zozo-mag Man, those dead eyes look aweful... }D

My thoughts exactly... If lucky, BBTS will put him on sale this December or January if stock does not move... The remaining stock must take up half of BBTS warehouse ...

I ordered a brand new SRC Mazinger Z from Amazon (actually a seller on Amazon - Cool Japan Tokyo) this last Tuesday for $22 shipped and got it yesterday afternoon via FedEx! I was surprised, since I was sure it was some glitch in Amazon like it has happened before with other SRCs. But no, I got it... yes, I got it, and yes, it came in the crappy folded cardboard makeshift box - but it did not have any Amazon markings on it. Weird, but I'm happy. $22 bucks!!! }D

I hear ya! I think I'll get mine from that seller as well. To be honest, I don't care about the shipping "box" as long as the item itself is Not damaged during delivery. But, I will Still file a complaint to Amazon about their pathetic shipping practices with those cheap "boxes"... the more complaints they get, the more Amazon will get their sh*t together. zozo-mag I've decided to wait until Christmas to score him.

It's the reissued version. I actually have two of the reissued ones and I don't "feel" the difference between them and my unplayed with first versions. Of course, the one I customized is nowhere near as tight as the new ones (old or reissue versions). I don't think there is any differences between the new and old. The reissue version will probably loosen up with play too. }D
