Thanks for posting the pics! Wow, that figure is a beautiful piece!! You're welcome. BTW, those aren't scratches on the figure but styrofoam particles which I forgot to wipe off.

Wow, the price of the normal version is so much way higher than the plated one. i have the normal one, though i very much prefer to have the plated version.

Still no normal versions on any online sites. All I see are the metallic plated versions.

Still no normal versions on any online sites. All I see are the metallic plated versions. Initially, I was looking for the normal version or at least the Limited Metallic. But since all I could find were the Plated ones I went ahead and purchased one while the prices are still reasonable. I also figured that having one version of DA is better than having none. But hey, that's just me.

I have the normal version, and even upon its release it was very hard to find! However, the difference between the normal version and the metallic version is so insignificant that they almost look identical. The plated version is another story...

I have the normal version, and even upon its release it was very hard to find! However, the difference between the normal version and the metallic version is so insignificant that they almost look identical. The plated version is another story... }D So I've been eyeing this Danguard on eBay: cgi.ebay.com/Yamato-Planetry-Robot-Danguard-Chogokin-dangard-Limit-/300495938627?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f6f42443The auction states that it is the "Metallic" version. I can see there is some small English text on the foil sticker that reads, "Limited Metallic Version." I'm a bit confused as to which one I would be buying in this auction. The picture below is the version I'll settle for since I can't get an original color scheme. (I'll label this one as "A".) The version I'm trying to avoid at all costs is this one below: (I'll label this one as "B".) Can anyone confirm for sure if that eBay auction is the version that I labeled as "A"? Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have the normal version and it's pretty nice, I do like the Metallic and plated versions but the plated one does look a bit flashy to me and wouldn't fit in to well with SOC's. But honestly all versions are pretty nice since the core figure itself is pretty amazing, only the tiny head and face sculpt bugs me a little and even then it's not a deal breaker.
Also posting live Ebay auctions is frowned on since it just drives Ebay prices up, but holy did the price of these things jump up. I remember getting mine for only around $150.

Thanks for the help Chogokinsnake, Plasticdiecast and Chen! That's what I love about this board.. it is filled with authentic support among its community.
Sorry for posting that eBay link. Is that an accurate price point for that version? Or am I better off waiting for another opportunity?

I have no idea but it seems the price in general has just skyrocketed, I don't know if you should wait for a better deal since I highly doubt Yamato will produce another run. You could also post a want thread in the Sales section, maybe a fellow member has one to sell you at cheaper prices.

I just found a plated version on amazon! I also just picked up some card stock paper from staples and am going to attempt to make the hangar. Anybody else make the hangar?
