Hi everyone.
Haven't bought anything super robot related in years until I saw another Aoshima Dai Shogun version. I went ahead to HLJ and ordered one.
Can't wait to get mine.

Welcome to the board, yeah it's a great piece and a great deal for the amount of metal is in it. Not the most articulated but it is very big and heavy.

Disappointed that HLJ took several days to ship out my Dai Shogun. Paying extra for EMS I would have thought maybe they would ship out next business day.
Sort of defeats purpose of 'express shipping'.

HLJ has always been slow to ship after receiving payment. Now Amiami is doing the same thing... }|

AMIAMI still ships between 24-48 hrs after you pay,closer to 24.HLJ is notorious for late shipping,I will never buy from them again.

I'm a firm believer that when EMS is requested, the order should be expedited and go out no more than 24 hours after payment is received (not counting weekends and holidays). Otherwise, the purpose of paying more for EMS is pretty much defeated.

Received my Ankoku Dai Shogun today. Like others mine had issues with tacky paint on the soft rubbery parts like hands, waist, and etc. Part of the horns had paint rub off styrofoam but not too bad. It's a very impressive figure. I will be displaying them with soc doublas and soc garada. I really appreciate Aoshima for re-releasing this great figure. Now I hope they make the other character.

I've been thinking about selling off mine, but I checked ebay and there's not a single sold listing for this version to gauge prices on, any idea how much I should ask for it?

Maybe try searching it on Mandarake, then switch to Japanese language to get its Japanese name, and use that to search on Yahoo Japan Auction and Mercari Japan listings. That should give you some ideas of how much it was going for (especially Mercari that give you old and current listings in your search). I do that often to search for older figures and their market prices, since I can read some Japanese, but I don't know how to type them. 😅

The only one I found on mandy was 17k yen and there's no telling how old that listing is so that's not really a good gauge on the market value.
Guess I'll just auction it off and let God take the wheel.
