BBTS may have it for Pre-order, but will they ever actually GET it? I ordered the original version over a year ago and it never came in. Then they said they would replace the order with the metallic version... that was back in February. Patience is running thin...

I placed my pre-order long time ago. I'm beginning to feel that too. The release date is July but tomorrow is already Aug and I have not heard from them.

I don't know why people bother with BBTS for that kind of toys when they are so many other reliable and cheaper options out there. I only use BBTS for Transformers.

They don't have it in stock yet and probably never will.

Anyone purchased toys from Angolz.com before? Are they reliable?

I buy from them all the time, they don't answer e-mails to often but I find they have the cheapest prices and for me shipping by EMS their the cheapest. The only thing is if you buy a figure or a pre-order you have to pay right away and then they'll process your order. But if they don't have it in stock their pretty quick to refund your money.

Ditto what Chen said about Angolz. Spotty with returning emails, but very helpful when they do. I order mostly with them, cuz they have great prices. Never had any problems.

I'm thinking of canceling my preorder of the Chrome version from BBTS and just preorder the regular color from Angolz.

angolz.com is very reliable at least based on my experience. fairly good response time with e-mails. The only down side is their shipping cost. The reg version of danguard ace is $135, i believed. including the shipping cost their products aren't the cheapest as sometime HLJ even beat them with their lower shipping cost thru sms.

BBTS used to be great but lately they have been slow to get new items and the whole Danguard Ace thing irked me. (I also ordered from them and never ended up receiving anything... had to go to a different seller on ebay to get a danguard A from Japan finally!)

I got the normal version awhile ago from Angolz when they first started selling it for like $135 + shipping.
As said above, Angolz is very spotty in terms of returning emails, and sometimes take a little longer to ship an order, but items are generally well packed and I never had any problems with them.

Hi.
I responded to someone earlier in the post about my experiences with Angolz.com.
I too had pre-ordered the chrome version with BBTS. The original arrival date was set to June, then July, and now August.
I emailed BBTS for an update, and they said they will ask Yamato USA ... BBTS never got a reply.
So I actually called Yamato USA for an update ... they admit there may still be a licensing issue (note: there site also has an expected arrival date of August 2009).
Instead of waiting, I canceled by BBTS pre-order and gave Angolz.com a try. I ordered it on a Saturday afternoon, and it was already starting shipping by the following Monday!
I do agree with Chen who commented they don't reply to emails (thanks also Chen for warning us that they bill right away for pre-orders!!! In the future, I intend to secure pre-orders with BBTS, and then cancel if it arrives at Angolz.com sooner and cheaper!).
I'm from Canada, and I found the S&H fees using UPS Air (BBTS) vs HK Speedpost (Angolz.com) are comparable.

No problem and I'm surprised that Angolz can ship their items by EMS from Hong Kong so cheap compared to other places. Plus I've found that when it arrives in B.C. it stays way shorter at Customs then it does at the U.S/Canada boarder.

Hrm... I ordered the "Hong Kong Limited Version Metallic Chrome Colored" Danguard from Angolz and received it today. The box has a shiny silver sticker which states "Limited Metallic Version," but the Danguard inside is absolutely NOT chromed. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this one I ordered IS the chrome one, correct? www.angolz.com/home/productDetails.aspx?PLU=0000107234I've sent them an e-mail, will let y'all know how they reply. Did anyone else order the chrome and get the same as me? - J

I noticed that the Chrome Version is 2.00kg and the regular Version is 2.40kg. Are there any difference between the two version besides the paint? Because it's affecting the shipping cost.
I'm planning to get the Regular version but the shipping is more expensive than the Chrome Version.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between the photos of the regular and the non-chrome metallic, so it looks like one of them. Here's a photo of the torso (I left everything else securely packed and untouched in case I need to return it) and a photo of the sticker on the box: Of the three, Regular / Metallic / Chrome, I think they sent the "Metallic." - J
