Wow, how did we get from slamming the non-coloured initial pics to loving it now? Apart from the pose, it's the same right? It's the fact that we saw a unfinished prototype with awkward posing compared to a fully painted prototype with decent poses. BTW anybody notice the hands in the above picture. Yea I’m glad he’s getting alternate hands but it kinda looks off. Maybe it should get wider closer to the wrist to be in line with the arm width?

What are the best websites to try to pre-order the GX-88 on the day of?
I’ve recently been converted to the Bandai SoC toys/collectors but it’s been difficult to find a concrete American Tamashii/Bandai website. I know BBTS is another option but aren’t they considered more of a third party meaning they may not necessarily get an initial batch of these to offer to us, the public?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dluna - try HLJ, amiami, or nippon-yasan. Sometimes amazon Japan works too.
I am loving this Dairugger! Glad I sold my Miracle one few months ago after the SOC announcement! This one is SO MUCH Better! The Miracle one did its job during the void, but at the end of the day it is a much inferior product compared to any SOC in the material, mold sharpness, paint, fitment, and QC departments. The best thing about the Miracle VV is that it drove Bandai to produce an even more superior product since it sets a benchmark, particularly in the articulation department.

Yeah,I am aware that the most visible change is a black heat shield for Battroid Mode and yellow as opposed to red stripes but I want the Roy Focker variant.

Assuming that AmiAmi and other sites will not put the actual item page up until just a few days prior to the pre-sale -- or perhaps even the day of?

Do we have a list of sites we think will carry it on pre-order? Will Amazon Japan carry it do we think?

One consolation for me with this is once I get this and the DYRL VF-1S, I'm mostly done with Bandai's pre-order bullsh*t. Mostly because the Metal Build line will keep pulling me back.
I need to organize my passwords for the websites I use. I always mix them up or forget them eventually.

The only challenge I’ll have with ordering from BBTS is that there is no set time it’ll appear, and I’ll have to be super diligent about monitoring their Twitter feed. At least with some or most of the Japan shops, we know exactly when.
