Lol sad to say, I have to pass on this Black Getter as well.
Thats only because I have to save the rest of my precious resource on DX Grendy and or Vehicle Voltron...oh and dont forget D.C. Getter Dragon. I have to keep it real. I got to follow my heart.
Bandai magic bro
Now if 5Pro does Damaged version Getter 1? Damn them all..

Nice!
Would love to hear "an unbiased" review on this piece. Because I myself am bound by Korean honor teehee.
As far as Black Getter goes, I havent seen it or ever mentioned since Getter 1 went on sale...
BUT I will be shocked if it doesn't go on sale soon after Getter 1's release.

Unless Getter 1 isn't a total flop, Black Getter is pretty much a given at this point. But no, I haven't seen any official announcement either.
The official announcements I'm REALLY hoping for though is for Getter 2 and 3 (that I remember someone at 5Pro saying they'd love to do if there's interest). I'm not holding my breath - they'd have to develop them scratch, unless Medicom has been hiding VCD Getter 2 and 3 all this time -, but that would be a really nice (and costly) surprise. With this Carbotix looking like the ultimate anime-accurate Getter 1 figure, I don't think I'd be able to resist the other two.
I probably won't resist Black Getter either, especially if I get my Getter 1 before the preorders open and it turns out to be as awesome as it looks on the pics.

I love 5pro work very much but, the price for this one is painful.
I wished they sell it as astroganger price 😬

I wish too, but Astroganger was a pretty barebone set. I'm not saying it totally makes up for the substantial price difference, but the cape, big-ass unfolding guns and LEDs are worth something. Astroganger had what? A bunch of alternative hands, faces and a little static figure. Plus, Getter 1 might not be taller, but it's considerably wider. Dat aaaaaass!!!Probably not worth nearly twice the price as they're asking, but I wasn't surprised when I saw it was pricier than Astroganger.

Last I checked some sites the pre-orders sold out. I’m really curious about this one and looking forward to it in hand.
Yeah price is little steep but just those Clean lines and looks smooth.

I know CDJapan's and Anime-Export's preorders have sold out (though as usual, they could have some available upon release), but it's still available at many stores like HobbyLink Japan and AmiAmi... or BigBadToyStore, for $384.99 with a $77 deposit...

It looks amazing...but it feels like a larger version of riobots woth a few more gimmicks thrown in for good measure

Yeah, TBH, IMHO, Riobot Getter 1 is pretty unbeatable....one of the best Getter 1 figure ever. If not THE best.
The only thing it could be counted against is that its sculpt is NOT completely source accurate....BUT its Sentinel's own take on the character so.... Can I even really count against it?

[NERD] Sentinel's Getter 1 is not a Riobot, though. It's part of the Sentinel X T-Rex line. [/NERD]
As much as I love Sentinel's flexible little Getter, 5Pro's just looks better too me. It doesn't look as poseable as Sentinel's, but it also doesn't have that weird large gap between the neck and the head, as well as, yes, being more anime-accurate.
Sentinel's is still fantastic and probably more bang-for-the-buck (though I haven't checked how much it's worth these days), but it's not as large and good-looking as this one, IMO. Plus, Sentinel's not likely to be making a Sentinel X T-Rex Getter 2 and 3 anytime soon. At least there's a little bit of hope for more Carbotix Getters.

I read a post at Gokin.it (tho my Italian is not good...non resistance is more like it) but I thought I read a month delay.
This is not unusual for 5Pro/Blitz... They rather be late then bad QC.
But I'm not going to say I'm not disappointed.
