I would use the 18cm tall RIOBOT Anubis as an example. It was listed around 22000 Yen (another over price imho), now it is 45% off in Amiami.
I think Sentinel is getting greedy. If we all stop buying now, the price will go down eventually.

Definitely going to wait this one out and hope it doesn't sell out like the Armageddon Getters (should've bought multiples!). Considering the price point its probably not going to sell out nearly as fast although it is more popular robot. May still put in a PO with HLJ just incase it runs out for some reason and I have second thoughts.
And for 300 I thought for a while that this was going to be at least 21cm.

If we all stop buying now, the price will go down eventually. Its kind of different though in this case because of the series and product. ZoE is not nearly as popular as Mazinkaiser making it a much more niche choice. If anything the actual Anubis figure seems pretty so-so in terms of its articulation (if its the same as Jehuty then yeah, its actually pretty damn disappointing). If Anubis is basically the same as Jehuty then hell no I would not even recommend it unless you are a big fan of the series + is okay with having it more as a showpiece (it just feels really cheap compared to the other sentinel products). Its really 50-50 as you have the Armageddon Getters that have doubled in price whilst things like the dino getter took a nose dive with a huge sale. I'm not going to justify the USD300 price point since it is pretty ridiculous even for how nice the piece seems.

I just watched the video..... its a fantastic range of motion and if that paint and chrome look that good on the released figures then who ever buys one should be very happy... but at 260-300 NO WAY. I just can't do it.

I love Sentinel's products, but their products do have a habit of going down in price. Not all of them...., but most of them. So like most of you guys I will play the waiting game. Has this held true for figures of more popular characters? Gurren Lagann, Anubis/Jehuty and Iron Man haven't really dropped in price since release; rather they've sold out and become more expensive. That articulation video has me tempted of course, but I'll probably wait it out. Hulkbuster is a higher priority than this for me. Still, that engineering is really something, especially in the legs! I hope the hip panels are either separated entirely from the joint and move up by gearing, or that they can be lifted up manually. Otherwise there could be joint wear/paint-rub in that area.

When HLJ had Jehuty in stock they would put him in the sales bin everytime there was a large sale, Anubis's price fell at least 50%, extremis iron man's price fell hobby search clearenced him out, war machine went on sale a month after release, gaiking is shelf warming. So there's a decent chance Mazinkaiser may also join the sales bin in time.

And not only that many sentinel's products seems to be easily available months after they are released, so there's no rush really.

Damn..... Hes a masterpiece.
Sentinel should have made him 9 inch. Then there would be less issue about the price...still,this is irresistible.

The price is just a tad too steep...Good thing I have Mazinkaiser represented a la Bandai, Aoshima and Max Factory already.
