Surprised no one is talking about that one; got my payment request from AmiAmi and paid for my order yesterday. Can't wait!

No reviews either on the Japanese blogs. Only thing is this old (but very good) promo review:

Just saw it in a local toysfair. It's huge!

[chogokinsnake]

Being an odd choice of SOC, wonder how well it is going to sell...

[Chen]

I doubt it, if it goes for $150 though I'll buy one I do think it looks pretty cool.

[newshoryuken]

any reviews yet on youtube?

[OzmaLee]

Amiami has it for about $200 and Robotkingdom has it for $199. I guess it's only a matter of time before it goes down to $150 or even lower. Shipping is still high though averaging around $50.

Same here. Keeping an eye on it. If the price drops I might get it for my funky shelf.

[OzmaLee]

I like the fact that it's a combiner. Only it combines into an uglyass robot.

Here, fixed.

[OzmaLee]

Oh I meant uglyass in good way. Its actually growing on me. I admit at first I was appalled because of the weird body proportions (actually reminds me of a girl I dated in college. Ugh!) but I'm seeing the charm it now. Same way I felt about the robo Mickey. I actually almost bought this instead of the CM'S Grendizer since the price went down.

[krimpov]

I see. I almost fell for that Mickey robot, just for the weirdness factor.

[OzmaLee]

The Robo Mickey is a pretty solid piece. I've seen it as low as $120 bucks. I guess you can display the Robo Mickey and Franky on the same shelf.

[actionawesome]

Sure is! Love my Robo Mickey!

I thought those pics with the cool Franky themed background were photoshoped and made me think "it would be cool if it came with something like that"... and then I keep scrolling down and I see that it actually does come with it

[krimpov]

Wah? That is ridiculously groovy. Desire to order this thing right now rising faaast!

Yes, just because of a piece of paper.

[pascal]

Mine is arriving tomorrow (was supposed to be today... bummer!), I'll try to post a mini review if I have the time.

[twoducks]

Cool! I also have one on the way but is going to take longer to arrive.

[OzmaLee]

Needed something to cheer me up because of the disappointment with the CM'S Grendizer so I ordered this!

[pascal]

Got my SOC General Franky minutes ago. A real beast, he's massive! But I'm a tiny bit disappointed, I thought he was going to have a perfect transformation, but it's not the case. The center part of the motorcycle doesn't have any use in robot mode (but I decided to use it as some funky clubbing device), and the cockpit part has to be removed and switched with another between modes. The functional articulated (plastic) tank treads are awesome though. Looks killer on display! Oh, and got hit with customs, so an extra $41 to pay on top of that. So much to save with AmiAmi!
