For those looking for this hold off a month or two because there's apparently going to be a re release this year.

That’s a smart way to do business of you ask me, if you sell a product really well why not make more out of it ? Glad for the news thanks Kuma... now if they do the same to go shogun would be nice as well...

People in the communities bullsh*t and posturelike they "missed" things they were never going to buy in the first place all of the time so unfortunately it's hard to take us as a whole seriously.

A basic rule of thumb I learned myself is the MSRP shelf-life of an average figure is a year. It will only fluctuate around that time till it vastly increases due to being out of print. If a figure is very much hyped,you best expect it to sell out quick and pay extra.

I'm doing my top 2019 list and it's looking like this is numero uno but what are you guys' thoughts? In fact, what could've been done better?

This is just a nitpick for an otherwise awesome figure based on reviews I watched but I wished they came with riders for the bikes.

I've been looking forward to this piece ever since they first announced it as a silhouette.
However, I failed to get this cos they sold out even though I pre-ordered it. I contacted Pose+ multiple times about any re-issue but never got a reply.
To me, the insufficient stock they released for the market is a huge FU to fans like me and I'm deeply disappointed.
Even though I like their Goshogun, I did not order it as I've decided not to support a company that doesn't support the fans.

I don't know what happened with your specific retailer but in general this was on preorder for some time. Where did you order from? And I hope that if there's a re release you're able to get your hands on it.

And I hope that if there's a re release you're able to get your hands on it. I ordered it from my local retailer who gets it directly from Hong Kong. He told me the stock cut was bad. I've been raving about this since day 1 on announcement and I was looking forward to this even more so than both Voltrons. Never been so deeply disappointed.

That really freaking sucks and I'm sure he probably didn't know until release time, either. Fingers crossed for you man because I feel the sh*t out of your hype for this one.

I'm doing my top 2019 list and it's looking like this is numero uno but what are you guys' thoughts? In fact, what could've been done better? I'd say Baxinger deserves the #1 spot in 2019, after spending more time I'd say between the two Pose+ releases it gets a higher mark for being a combiner with superb articulation. My list of top 2019 releases: - Baxinger - Dairugger - Metal Composite Gundam Char Zaku II - Metal Build Crossbone Gundam X2 - Bandai DX VF-1S honorable mention goes to fans toys spoiler and transformer siege jetfire releases I really hope everyone that PO a Baxinger gets one, I was waiting for this guy for quite some time and somehow ended up with both pose+ release arriving on the same day. He's worth the wait.

My pre-order from The Chosen Prime for Baxingar got cancelled a couple of weeks ago due to their supplier not being able to fulfill the order. It was very frustrating as I've been looking forward to this for months. It almost seems like Pose+ hates money, given that they didn't even produce enough to fulfill pre-orders at the wholesale level.
I'm telling myself at least Baxingar has zero meaning to me since I don't recall ever even seeing any Baxingar toys growing up, much less the cartoon itself. But I do love a good looking and well designed robot toy, so I'm still hoping eventually there will be more available down the line.

Maybe POSE+ played too safe, since they are a pretty new HK based venture, a subsidairy under the Art Storm label from what I can tell. While POSE+ 01 Gold Lightan has good word of mouth, it wasn't particularly sorted after. So I can see them being conservative on 02 production run. Plus they may have ran into problems as it was delayed, so they may have killed a batch or two that didn't pass QC, and has a smaller number of final product in the end. Baxinger coming out only weeks before Goshogun kind of hinted at some unexpected production issue. Trust me, they love your money

But yeah, what you're saying here makes sense. I did come across some posts in Chinese on thier Facebook page that make it sound like there were a lot of production issues for Baxingar. Maybe they've designed a toy that's too hard to manufacture or something. Hopefully they can get the production issues ironed out at some point and make more to satisfy at least what had been pre-ordered. Otherwise they are just leaving money on the table.

I wonder if BBTS will get their stock soon or if the shipment got cancelled too. It's hard to tell since they usually just keep delaying their expected arrival date, sometimes when they have no idea when they'll receive their stock.
