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. Have you tried contacting them? Good idea. I just sent them an email.

Alright... so let's talk a bit about the product itself for those who've gotten it. What are you thoughts now that it's a been out for a while? Still loving it as much?
(This isn't to dismiss talk about allocation and the like but that's more speculative and probably belongs in the Pose+ general thread if anything.)

Yes please.
I heard a lot of really great things about it but, I'd LOVE to hear about what you didnt like about the figure.
Like things they can improve on the future products so they can be even better.

Like things they can improve on the future products so they can be even better. It's a pretty solid piece top-to-bottom. You don't see a lot of negatives and nitpicking about it because generally they really knocked it out of the park.

Any word from BBTS as to when they’re getting Baxinger? My head will explode if they’re unable to fill the order. Fingers crossed...

With all due respect why would members here know better than the store themselves the status of said store's inventory?

Thanks, man. I haven’t heard back from Joel yet but I’m glad to hear his response to you wasn’t indicative of a cancellation, generally. Hope springs eternal.

If you guys end up getting cancelled please keep the board updated as well. If there's some sort of priority shown when it comes to their allocations then it may be in best interest to put together a list of "safe" sites to preorder from.

Yes please. I heard a lot of really great things about it but, I'd LOVE to hear about what you didnt like about the figure. Like things they can improve on the future products so they can be even better. After handling my copy of this release for a few days, things to improve on: - more hardware for the side hip articulation for the legs, not sure if this is an engineering limitation but unlike goshogun, which has universal ratchets, baxinger's side to hip articulation is on tension joints. - would of been nice if the elbows could be double jointed. Again i'm guessing this was limited due to engineering on hiding the wheels in place thus limiting room movement.. as this is rectify with goshogun but goshogun wasn't a combiner... - slightly higher grade plastic for the sword handles, it just feels like one grade below bandai's accessories in comparison. - this might just be a secret sauce to bandai's materials engineering, but the metal alloy on gokins coming from other companies seems to have a lighter feel to them. Again this may have something to do with their main goal of supporting high pose ability vs. just a heavy chuck of die-cast statue love on a display case. But it would of been nice if there was just a heftier feel like by another 200 grams would of been nice. Again this could just be bandai spoiling us collectors with some their more recent SOC releases. ** these are all nit picks when you get right down to it and shouldn't take anything away from baxinger. I'm super impressed by this release and very very happy that someone had the guts to work on a release for baxinger. The overall presence, sculpt, play value, attention to detail with the overall combiner and individual vehicles can really give bandai a good run for its money. I'd be really curious to see if they ever could get their hands on a combattler v or voltes v or daltanious or heck even a golion license to see what they could do with it. Somehow I feel they may pull off some really strong releases on any of those gokin offerings if given a chance.

So, there are way more important and serious global issues to consider in this surreal day to day but I wonder if anyone heard anything or had reason to suspect Pose+ would be producing additional Baxinger units? I’d gathered they ran into QC issues after their initial run and were unable to fill their initial orders. As such, I thought, maybe, they’d be producing another run to fulfill them or, possibly, doing another run in response to the positive feedback they’ve received re: Baxinger thus far. I still have a standing pre-order with BBTS but I’m unsure if it will be fulfilled (BBTS can’t confirm either, unfortunately). Does anyone have any info about another run of P02 or if we should hold out hope another run will be produced? Want this guy sooo badly. Many thanks and keep washing them hands, dudes.

I remember hearing that there was some sort of country priority given at first and that the others would be coming later... but did they not end up sending the rest out? do you know what the q.c. issue was?

Hey, Kuma. I can’t recall specifically why I suspect a QC issue being the reason for the supply deficit but I do remember hearing something about Pose+ establishing some priority regarding supplier distribution - I only speculate that translates into regional hierarchy (Hong Kong, Japan, Europe, and eventually US?). Regardless, I pre-ordered from BBTS last June, I think, but definitely around the same time pre-orders were listed from all the reliable distributors. As far as I know, the BBTS order was never filled, unfortunately. They still have my pre-order in their cue and continue to adjust the date of delivery out month by month, so, hope springs eternal? I don’t hold BBTS responsible or anything - I didn’t need to put any money down - but, again, I’m praying Pose+ is able to eventually fill my order. I’m sure everything is totally f’d as far as Chinese production is currently concerned. Did anyone else who ordered from BBTS receive their Baxinger?

Yeah, I'm also thinking that there are more manufacturing delays because of the coronavirus. Seems that they underestimated the demand for this product. Going forward, I hope they ramp up their production for future Pose+ releases as I am excited for several of them.

Rats. Oh, well. The response to the Pose+ figures have been so positive, I think they’d do well to eventually produce additional runs of P02 and P03, at least. Fingers crossed.

I hope they come through for everyone because this product turned out to be such lightning in a bottle that I legitimately feel bad for people not getting preorders fulfilled.

I would be really grateful for an opportunity to own this figure at a price that is not 2-3 times the original price. Actually, at this point I'd be grateful for any new Pose+ figure... the wait for Baikanfu and Gaogaigar has been killing me...

Gaogaigar, I am good with my SOC. It is very nice and complete with all the add-ons. But Baikanfu on the other hand, is quite an improvement on the SOC sculpt, even though I love that thing. If it falls in line with POSE+'s track record, Baikanfu will be really awesome.
