I don't understand the concept of preorder being sold out either....
Who's the smarty at Bandai that thought that up?

First, thanks for the trouble for doing the review at three in the morning. I really appreciate it.
Awesome review, as always.
Wow~ it sounds like you like Repair One more then Exia Repair Three.
Now I can't wait to get mine next month from Anime Isle.

I'm not really a Gundam fan (yet). I'm usually into winged Gundams, but this one looks quite cool. Tempted to get it. What store offers the best deal?

Currently the online store that still has it is Nippon Yasan at 12480yen. AmiAmi had the best price at 11500yen but it's sold out during pre-order as usual. The difference is only about USD12-15.

Thanks. That's a bit cheaper for me than getting it from Amazon.com for $132.65 plus shipping (and possibly taxes and customs fees).

The good thing about NY is that they always declare a low value for your items so you don't get customs tax.
For my dealings with them so far, it's been pretty smooth. But once in a while if you don't see your delivery status change from "processing" to "shipped" for 2 days or more, you have to email them to remind and chase them for it. And they are pretty quick to reply, usually within 24 hours of a business day.

I've only ordered once from them, but so far so good. I know some here have a different story to tell, but I'll trust them for now. I think I'll get one. I've held off for a while to let it sink in and the temptation just won't go anyway. I just love the asymmetric damaged "hobo-style". |

Because with all the wonderful stuff coming up (Fewture's EX Getter Gs and Ultimetal Prime being the two big wallet-killers on my list), I'll end up adopting the "hobo-style" myself if I give in to everything I fancy.  But this one looks just too fine and I've waited long enough. It passed the test. I'll get one. |

Yup just like what I said in my video, you have to see this figure in person to appreciate the level of detail and quality it has.
It's really extremely well done. This figure sets the bar up by another notch.
