An email blast from Bluefin just went out stating: It's possible pre-orders might close on all sites on that date -- not just Bluefin. Eknightmedia has closing date of September 17th. They guarantee orders up to that date. Haven’t seen a closing date for any other site. |

The thing with eknight is you always get your stuff a month later than everybody else. Other US retailers have Jan as the release date while they have it for end of Feb.

Just got $ 50 deposit request email from eKnight.
It also tagged a policy stating IF there is a defect, they won't replace the jacked unit UNLESS there happened tobe a extra copy for them to replace with.... and the policy is unique to this particular piece.
PLEASE double check return policy with the store you ordered or you’ll be ordering from. Just to be clear, even Blufin will NOT replace Sentinel products. So I have a feeling if something goes south, ordering from “smaller” shops we might have to contact Blitz DIRECTLY.
I DO have to sincerely thank eKnight for being upfront. I really appreciate that.

I’ve actually had the opposite experience. I’ve gotten my stuff from them (mostly SHF, monsterarts) earlier than other US retailers. A recent example was the Monsterarts Godzilla which they listed as a June release but they actually shipped it late May. Always thought it was due to them being located in the same city as bluefin brands. |

After preordering two of these, I don’t even want to think about possible QC issues at this point…

Looks like they enlarged the "Spinning Laser Blade", I had no issue of it because I believe it was never actually used as a shield in the anime but more like a huge throwing star, but this should make fans happy. |

thats a nice amount of diecast but still the lions heads should be diecast as well especially the blue and the yellow lions, 38cm and 2.2KG will put alot of stress on those
making the shield bigger is half of the answer the sword need to be bigger and bulkier as well, since it looks like a tooth pick
they are trying to justify the price tag but i want to see a review for it

looks like they're going to nail the joints department as all the major joints are diecasts and ratchets at the same time.
it's also nice that it is going to be bottom heavy, which is really needed for a toy of this caliber..

It’s really cool that they’re STILL making REAL “requested” adjustments…..I don’t know too many company that does that. I know Sentinel makes REAL “R” improvements on reprints. But it’d be super cool of 5Pro if it give us a magnet gimmick somewhere too haha. And While at….“ 5Pro, PLEASE sell us YOUR Robotizer PLEASE!!” Why not.  |

When it comes out a third party manufacturer is gonna release a proper scaled sword for it for sure. |

Love it so far! Funny they designed the diecast opposite of the vintage toys, which had diecast bodies, and plastic leg parts.

Can’t wait to unbox this thing! I sure hope it lives up to the hype. $700 is a hard pill to swallow but worth a look. I have one on preorder. Tempted to get a second but my SOC and Icarus versions will have to stand in.
