sadly the tank thing is not included in this release, i was hoping they add both even if they increase the price a bit What tank thing? The one that's in the pictures? I think he means the Trider Shuttle from the GX-66

Well that's not a tank is it?
It does seem like the tank attachment doesn't fit inside the new shuttle though.

The shuttle is pretty awesome. It houses the tank, can combine with Trider, has a storage compartment for the breast shield, an open-able weapon bay on both sides, an access ramp from below, landing feet x 8, and even a ramp for the tank to roll onboard. Pretty epic when it all put together. The shuttle is huge, and together with the protective package around it takes up ~35% of the space in the box. The new fighter attachment looks pretty cool too and does similar things except it can attach onto the tank instead of housing it. I am glad Bandai offers something different in a R release though. It gives owner a reason to buy another while not loosing value of the old piece. Win win in Bandai's book. After reading this thread the last few days, I dug up my Trider tonight and took the above picture. It's such a solid piece. Hefty, articulated, and I can hardly tell it's transformable. I really miss these old school bots.

That's the Trider Shuttle I believe. The Tank is inside it and exits through the fold down rear cargo door. It's a really sweet set of huge tank treads that the robot mounts on to form the Trider Tank. I'm pretty sure the tank parts only come in the original release along with the Shuttle.

Man what a joke I saw this listed at $324.99 on bbts. I remember seeing this first edition was discounted like $160.00 😂 Like year ago.

It's a lot more then the original release, but the original release was in early 2014.

I POed, but I think I might cancel. I don’t like the recent increase to reissue prices (especially if the ones being reissued don’t command high collector prices). I know costs are going up, but we are at a particular point right now where it’s quite a bit cheaper to acquire these releases used (or even new) on secondary market.

I have been looking at the Renewal prices and yeeash. I think any $300+ purchases I can only do once a month if that. The figure would have to be either a bargain compared to current aftermarket prices or something I really want in my To-Do List.

Thanks! I ordered it at this price (after complaining about the MSRP 😆). I think it’s a good price - perhaps will go lower, we’ll see...

That’s still shockingly high. The original release dropped to some insanely low prices. I think I paid around $70 or less for it on one of HLJ’s spring cleaning sales?
