Priced fairly than. $100 for "base line" SOC seems fair. Hopefully Bandai will release more D.A. like SOCs. ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png)

Bought something from HLJ once,that was teh last time,they take forever to ship,where AmiAmi takes 2 days,and anime export same or next day They weren't always like this though. They used to ship the same or next day as they received payment, now it takes 3-5 days or a whole week and looking at my account history, I'm wondering if they've just forgotten to send me a shipping notice or something? They've gotten really sluggish lately.

Believe it or not, Amazon's pretty bad right now too...
They wanted an email approval "to search" and find SRC Grendy I PreO weeks ago.. Again, an item that I PREORDERED! It's on "Temp Out of Stock status" and this was as soon as the product hit the release day! And it's not an isolated incident. This happened to me many times over with different products with Amazon all within weeks time span..so. This NEVER happened before and I shopped with Amazon almost two decades....

Yes, HLJ usually takes a long time (from a few days to a week) to get my shipment ready... very frustrated.

Weird I've had no issues with them. Chat with them in help section. They are usually very accommodating. When a gift I ordered was a day or 2 late they extended my prime membership another month for free.

By the way I got the strange feeling of opening an SRC/SOC hybrid ,, it was like this is an SOC right? It seemed like a really GOOD quality all diecast SRC with a base but much better,if ya get me... Yeah Dangaurd does seem like a hybrid, we're used to transforming SOC's be on the bigger side but now we have a regular sized SOC that transforms and has lessons learned from the SRC line. I'm not complaining since the line is evolving and the SRC and SOC lines seem to be like brothers now with crossover. I'm also not complaining about the price which for any other company would cost us between 50-100% more.

I wish I knew that before SDCC. I always see the manager of HLJ there. I could give him feedback. Well, I actually contacted HLJ asking about the delay, and apparently it's a combination of semi-annual stock count and a Japanese holiday that has given them a shipment backlog, so there's your answer.

As always, fun and awesome review! Thanks for that and long time no see! I'm so happy to see the "battle yell" intro and outro. ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png) Only tiniest thing I would add would be, a more accurately deciphering diecast count? You can def use the , ahem the R rated "lip test" to get better metal content reading. Only if you're comfortable doing it of course. No one's judging here. ![(rofl)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/rofl.png) Just a humble suggestion to make your awesome review even better. Thanks again from your number one fan, GGG

Nice review optimusprimesg! So, thats what that little black stick was for. I had a doozy of a time trying to get the thrusters in place. I laughed when you made that comment about the upcoming Franky GX-63. I couldn't agree more. BTW, I really like the box art on this ![](http://i1172.photobucket.com/albums/r561/onemig74/null-49.jpg)

I want to get a second one,anyone have any ideas where to buy? HLJ has it cheapest but I hate them,and they are delaying orders now? Typical price is 135$ right now,HLJ is 105$, Any other TRUSTWORTHY contendors? AmiAmi nor Anime Export has it in stock.
