Wow!
That is incredible and unexpected news!
I don't think I'll be able to even pass up the Angel repaints since now I'll be able to order SOC with my usual comic book order discounts.

I only worry about how quantities will be allocated. Will I have to hedge my bets and order from a couple of places, then sell off any duplicates...?

[chogokinabdul]

ok .... that sounds great ...

but what is the october preview?? do you have the link to there web site?

[Pulse]

Means you should be able to go to any, decent or better, comic book shop and order them.

[quick edit]

Previews, if I remember right, is what most comic book shops use to order. Think of it as a list of specialty stuff that they can order.

Upside here is you should save on shipping. Downside, you have to find a pretty good comic shop so you're working with people you trust.

The Previews is the magazine of Diamond distributor,where you can pre-order toys,comics,apparel etc... You can see the site of Diamond,even if the October Previews is not yet all updated.
Look at this link:

previews.diamondcomics.com/

and on the left column click on Current Order Forms ,so you can download a pdf file with all the material of October Previews

Thanks for the info, with my discount and no shipping fees to pay for, these will be great deals. The only thing is if I want to wait a bit longer to get them.

Also with Bandai solicating in Previews this may indicate that Bandai is recognizing buyers from other countries for their SOC line and may take some input for the next SOC from outside of Japan.

[Omni Existence]

Cool!

At US$50-60, that's less than PhP3000 in my currency, and means I can buy duplicates!


BTW, has anyone here seen or read something about the Venus Angel, and if it will still have it's scrander?

So very true - now we can get Aoshima Getter and Godannar and wait for early 05 to get the SOCs.

But I must confess I will not be able to postpone any more my lust for Garada and MIverva X (our mistery girl?)
