I am glad Nippon Yasan didn’t get around to shipping it. Got the PayPal refund and ended up saving around $130.00 with free shipping at Sure Thing Toys. I'll give them until Friday and then, get PP involved. I'm ordering from somewhere else or just having one toy versus two as I'm pretty sure BBTS is not up to this sort of shenanigans.

Entertainment earth tried to charge my paypal but didn’t go through. I need to call them since the funds are there. Hopefully I’ll have mine next week.

I'm tempted to call my CC provider, but looks like our friends here are getting there notifications, lol Maybe they got additional stock from the US, lol Jokes aside, I hope we get our notifications soon, my one was the 35K yen

Any idea when BBTS will be getting their stock? In my experience BBTS was usually one of the US retailers that received their stock last. Shouldn’t be too much longer though since almost all others have started shipping out. BTW, has anybody who ordered from ToyDojo get a ship notification yet?

Yes bud, I ordered one for a mate - and I just received the shipping notification two hours ago.

My right shoulder joint (vertical rotation) soft ratchet is a little loose in comparison to my left shoulder, making it hold sword poses a little tricky with slight shakes as I handle the figure. I'm hoping this is just a minor issue with mine. That's normal. I have the same issue but the trick to that is you have to fully insert it to the body then. Try this, before you fully insert the arm, do a Superman flying pose on a plank position. the right shoulder should fall. Then insert it fully and do the same. It should not fall. I'll try later tonight when I get home from work and see if that resolves it... I think I had it inserted fully the first time, the ratchet is just a little softer on my right shoulder than my left shoulder, it can still hold a sword pose at 90 degrees but at a lower 45 or 30 degree angle it tends to flop back down to a standing pose position. Thanks for the plank position suggestion, I still love the new dairugger will post some pics later when I have time of my dairugger collection...

Of course a few hours after I post I get a shipped notification as well. Hahaha! My second one will be here by Saturday. Nice that they have no tax and free FedEx shipping!

Not sure if this "Charles" guy has ever handled an SoC. But "BEAUTIFUL" and "STUNNING" are his stand-out descriptors.... :-) I like his reviews alot; the comment that resonates with me is the comment "I just got some comment; that when you see the miracle side by side, it *might* look better" It looks better to me... but... when he said "oh.. please, don't roll" .. coupled with the fact the he shook the damn thing and it fell apart - reminds me why I hate the miracle... I think what I like about the miracle is dairugger's head. The miracle one has more of a neck.. anyhow, I'll reserve judgment until mine arrives. I have two on order! I'll see which arrives first. This is my swan song; unless Bandai comes up with 1) GoLion with a retro popy box 2) A SOC albegas 3) some sort of Tetsujin 28 DX (ala Action Toy's Heavy Metal) .... I'm done!

Oh yeah Charles has plenty of experience with SOC's plus he's been a longtime member here under the name chachipower, he's a great guy!

Oh boy...........this comment is a bit of an oof from me. Edit:I was going to say that Charles is one of the most consistent reviewers of the SoC line next to OptimusPrimeSG and Odean.

Oh yeeeeya~ Our "eastside" Charles review going live(?) in 10min as of now! I do cringe with RPA videos sometimes, because he's so excited about a figure that he doesn't even look at the instructions. That part where he's trying to find the ab crunch but putting the force on the wrong section, popping out the waist swivel part... that right there could likely have stripped a bit of that locking mechanism, and it'll be easy to come apart unintentionally after that. Even the front hip skirt, was noted as "FRAGILE" in the instructions, he's just flipping it up like nothing, and it keeps falling out (SMH).

BBTS just zapped my PayPal. Whoops! I meant to cancel that one.... Oh well, guess I've got two now.

I'll give them until Friday and then, get PP involved. I'm ordering from somewhere else or just having one toy versus two as I'm pretty sure BBTS is not up to this sort of shenanigans. Whelp, looks like I'm stuck on NY's endless wait list as well. Ended up putting in a second order at Amazon out of an abundance of caution/concern. Probably will end up getting that one faster, and for less.
The only thing keeping me from going the PP refund route is that I also have a less replaceable paid pre-order for the DX VF-1S through them.
Guess I'm banking on NY just being terrible at fulfillment rather than outright thieves.
