This looks very nice, but the price is very prohibitive. Your right, but I just realized that the 82,500YEN is with tax included for Japanese residents with no tax it's 75,000YEN and places like Amiami will get it a wholesale price which will be even less so hopefully the PO's will be around 72,500YEN. [sarcasm=ON]Wow, so cheap![/sarcasm=OFF]

Period. Like, if you're a US consumer, at least you can see when BBTS sells this and basically get free shipping. Us? Pffft. Nope.

Anyways, I've pretty much decided I'm not buying this unless it goes into some massive discount (which has happened like with the reissued SoC Daltanious for example)...

Really torn on this one. It's a must have in a lot of ways. I just literally have no where to put it. Price actually seems reasonable for something of this size. Bandai responded to those who complained of the small Gaiking in the GX-05 with this release. We will be having this same discussion when DX Grendizer rolls out with its Gigantic Spazer.

Like, if you're a US consumer, at least you can see when BBTS sells this and basically get free shipping. Us? Pffft. Nope. Not gonna help too much with BBTS or similar vendor, on these high price items since they charge tax now in US. And they tend to mark up the price enough to cover oversea shipping. Adding 8-9% tax, it more or less offset the oversea shipping from Japanese shop, and in most case, end up costing more. Good for smaller stuff, but not for GX-100 I don't think. On the other hand, Sideshow is starting to carry SOCs regularly. While they are not necessary cheaper, they do have Layaway/Flex payment option to do smaller monthly payment. Might be one way to afford it? Even GX-96 is listed there, so most likely GX-100 will follow.

Yumcha I share your grief... I know im not getting it, but I want it. And shipping this through my middleman to Argentina would be stupidly expensive (he is charging 70usd per kilo from his warehouse, I guess Canada looks better now). I dont think this will be a titanus situation (and I think titanus prices will skyrocket when it sold out at stores... the same happened with the legacy one, also everyone knows it is not getting a reissue). I think this will sell well, also being the GX100 will attract both collectors and scalpers, like some dx releases do... that being said I hope I could get it at 50% discount with free shipping from bbts

Price will drop I mean no offense it’s only Gaiking … can’t be more popular than Mazinger or voltes? It’s a money grab and will go onto sale for sure time will tell but I am waiting For it

I suspect Bandai is aware of the higher price and will allocate quantities to be on the more limited end...Still, we'll see. With these toys, you just don't know right?

The discussions about the price hike of SOCs and other high end collectibles got me thinking. Is it because Bandai Blue products are now aimed at Youtubers/bloggers who are mostly earning from what they are doing? Maybe Bandai realized that they're not getting any royalties from them, then might as well raise prices and get in on the action. Hence the new adult collectible division Bandai Blue. So an average collector who doesn't earn a cent from this hobby is probably NOT their target market Things were so different back in the day when people usually collect stuff just for fun...
