I might get this but I don't know where.
Hobbylink Japan has been sold out and I would like to be able to get the limited edition Aggresive Mode Eagle Fighter effect part.
The God Bless Dancouga Limited Variant is already sold out. So I may get it from Amazon Japan since I can cancel as well as maybe get better overall shipping.

Decided to preorder at Amazon Japan anyways.
That Limited Edition is just way too expensive for what it is. I just want the Aggressive Change effect part for Eagle Fighter. That and I am sure my overall price will be $450 anywhere else thanks to shipping.

Amazon JP version fully reserved within one day, but GSC is considering making more. Normal version still widely available for pre-order.

Unfortunately as I was writing my previous post, I was unaware that at around the same time GSC offered a limited quantity of new pre-orders of the Amazon JP version. It sold out within a few minutes.

As much as it was tempting to PO Amazon Japan's exclusive set, the fact this is releasing close to mid year 2023 with possible delays, I didn't want to risk the possibility of the exchange rate swinging the other direction and unable to cancel the preorder.

It doesn't include the bonuses offered in Japan. That sucks.

What was price difference with that effect piece anyways? Was it same piece? Good smile website shows it with Blue effect but I don’t know if that means it’s the exclusive version.

SRP is the same in Japan with blue or blue/red (Amazon Japan exclusive). If you convert from Yen to US dollar with the current market rate, it's close. Only difference is the US release doesn't seem to have either the blue or red bonus part. Which region of Good Smile are you looking at?

Looks like Amazon JP dropped their list price of the regular edition to around 52,000 yen without shipping.

I didn't think you could actually order from there. I thought you need to use Good Smile US if located in the USA and the product isn't there.

It has the US site, while the Japanese site also take international orders (they operate separately). So you end up having 2 different sites selling them. While I can't tell you about this Dancouga release, I bought from both sites before on their other figures. I do think you would get the figure faster ordering from the Japanese site, but you pay more for the shipping. I ordered the Figma "Sam Porter Bridges DX" figure from the US site, but it still hasn't shipped out, while reviews had been up in Asian countries for a couple months now. Just FYI.

I also agree that Proportion on this Dancouga is outstanding.

Only difference is the US release doesn't seem to have either the blue or red bonus part. Which region of Good Smile are you looking at? All retailers should have the blue effect, as it's a first run bonus, not any retail exclusive. People who pre-ordered the AJ exclusive bonus will just get an additional red effect.

You would think but the blue effect is never pictured nor mentioned in the contents with any US retailer so far. For now, I'll just assume if you want the blue effect, preorder from Japan. You want the blue and red, hope Amazon Japan will put up more stock for preorder.
