So I bought the CCS Gurren Lagann from Ebay, which I really REALLY wanted. I am living in Europe and customs is awful, so I had it shipped to my parents in the US with plans to pick it up when I visited them in 6 months. I was VERY careful to check tracking and pretty sure I even called my family to make sure it was in their hands, so I assumed all was fine.... This was in February 2024 that I bought it, and I arrived to the US in August. BUT My family said they never got the package and that I never confirmed with them by phone (which was possible I guess, I switched phone carriers and many texts/calls were dropped)!! So long story short, because this was over 180 days after the purchase date no one (ebay, my credit card, pay pal) will help me. So no robot, and Im out $500. I am always very careful about confirming an item is received, but in this rare circumstance where I moved to another country, my phone carrier changed, etc etc I ended up losing it all. Valuable lesson learned...ugh Does anyone know if they will be reissuing this anytime soon?

Just wait for the inevitable 2.0. They already had a gray prototype showing a couple years ago. I think they just want to wait a bit until the market is not so saturated with GLs.

Mpchi are you chachipower by any chance? No. Different guy, and I don't do video reviews like Chachipower does on his RocketPunchArmy channel. He used to frequent and post on here, though I have not seen him for quite a while.

Missing something always suck, and hit Harder the more expensive it it... I remember missing great mazinger gx02r tamashii 2016... about 220usd, still regret to this day. I bought it again but it was painful...

But no pre-order or release date yet huh? Somehow it got put on hold, as CCS moved on developing other mechs, which I am guessing due to the market being too saturated with GLs. SOC earlier this year, and Riobot & The Gattai the year before.
