Yeah. Some folks get carried away and can have a hard time separating comments about the figures and making personal comments. Nobody should ever make negative personal comments in an open forum, as it opens it up for things to spiral out of control. It is best to stick to the figure and everything related to it, and just worry about your own opinions. Using PM is good if you want to address something personal with other users, as long as it is not insulting. ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png) }D

Pretty funny. Always laugh when someone calls me "little". Luckily I can spot a Troll when I see them.

Guys , most of the src are priced around the 40 when pre ordered from ami ami except for kaiser and shin getter while black getter is priced around 84 at pre order at ami ami so that is double the price Heck at one point src were pre ordered at the 35 price tag at ami ami! Actually, just last summer I believe the SRC Mazinger Z re-issue was 25! --- Sentinel put up a video to show how not to break your Getter`s arms: Though, if I'm honest I don't think this is why the forearms are snapping. On my Getter, the first elbow joint on the left arm (The plastic one that goes inside the gold section) was paint fused together. I had to carefully pry it open with some tools to get it to work. However, had I just gone about it forcefully I'm pretty sure it would have easily snapped. I got both mazinger & great mazinger for 30 each ! and most of my src for 35 $ except for kaiser , shin getter and grendi but yeah sentinel are one the expensive side of the game

I received mine, it does seem to have a more upscale appearance but that's mostly due to packaging and the impression Sentinel wants to give off. It's sturdy enough but I don't feel like it's as sturdy as SRC's or it's because it costs twice as much as the average SRC I'm being more gentle with it. Quick photo with the Voltron I also got, great sculpt and accessories and I'm glad I finally got a Black Getter for my collection. Is it twice as good as a comparable SRC? I don't think so but it does give off the impression that it should. ![](http://s26.postimg.org/v0cq00v9l/IMG_0530.jpg)

Great pic, effects parts looks good with this figure. Hopefully the minor QC issues with Getter Black will be addressed and the upcoming Getter will be even more awesome.

Great review. Better editing than mine ![:D](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/grin.png) Picked up some points I missed for sure. I need to make sure my lights are more to the front or something. I'm losing some clarity somehow, especially in the background. But yeah I feel saying it's twice as expensive is misleading. You still have to pay to ship SRC's, at least $20 bucks. Even if it's $40, that's $60 depending on where you are. It's about 30% more expensive for 10% more diecast and more accessories, and a stand. Also, $100 dollars isn't the price of a BMW toy. It's still in the low end of the high end collectible market. Bandai Frontier Valks are usually $200 bucks. Hot toys are hitting $250 now. When I see something as great as BG for only $80 PO'd I think it's a hell of a deal personally.

The paintwork on this Black Getter is top-notch but my right arm has a tiny scuff mark but I can live with it.
Thanks to the video posted by Sentinel, I am able to handle my Getter better and no breakage issues.
If the price is not a big deterrence, this guy is a must have for any Getter fans.

Excellent review! Is this the first time T-Rex collaborates with Sentinel?

Excellent review! Is this the first time T-Rex collaborates with Sentinel? Black Getter is actually numbered as the 2nd Sentinel x T-REX project. I think the first release is that Powered Suit but since it was delayed by about 2 months, Black Getter was first to arrive on the market.

Sweet collection. Whats your favorite?
I moved all my PO's from AA to HLJ. A couple things I had to wait for them to come back into stock, which worried me a bit but I picked them up.I told AA and they weren't happy about it but they didn't ban me. They just said they couldn't do anymore cancellations.
