Phewww... just ordered from eKnight - $188.99 w/free shipping in the USA. No need to pre-pay and PayPal accepted for pre-orders. YES!! Thanks for the heads up, was worried eKnight wasn't going to carry this. Switched my order from AmiAmi. $188 with free shipping and taking some pressure off February is very welcome. I LOVE EGNIGHT!

What does The Pile of Loot do for you over any other warehousing system? Sorry, not sure exactly what you mean...? But, the thing about Anime Export's PoL system is that they will store it almost for infinity until you tell them to ship it. So, yeah...I don't have my SoC Golion or the Megazord yet because I'm still waiting for a couple more things to arrive before I click "send". The only other place that comes close is BBTS but their PoL has a time-stamp like HLJ's...after elapsed time, you MUST ship regardless. I mean, there are benefits to this too since you'll never forget. Not sure if I answered your question. Otherwise, of the other vendors I regularly buy from, no one else has a storage feature. Yeah, that's what I meant. I use HLJ's system but have never run up against the time limit but nice to know AE doesn't have a time out. I am not a fan of their shipping fees though.

Nippon-Yassan never ran out of pre-orders. I think when it's a pay up front situation it cuts the demand. Bandai really should've offered it on their Premium US web site but didn't.

Yeah, but you have to pay upfront with AE. Not generally an issue TBH. I like their PoL system which is a nice perk. PoL?

Yeah, February is going to be brutal on me with at least $1K being laid out on Chogokin. But some of the best to ever be released it appears with Metal Build Mazinger Z, DX Combattler V and of course this bad boy. Oh, add another $260 to that. I have already paid for it but GX-48k Big O will be released that month too. Feb for Combattler as going through eKnight.

Looking at prices so far, it appears that Anime Export is right now the cheapest of the batch. But, Nippon-Yasan has yet to post the preorder. So, it's possible they'll be the same or a bit less. I'll hold off until early next week... Yeah, but you have to pay upfront with AE.

Okay, I bit and preordered from AmiAMi. I love Reideen and this looks to be an awesome update on him to me, a clear evolution that is unmistakably Reideen. It will be my first Fewture model but hopefully not the last.

Looks like a very nice update to Reideen to me and I am seriously tempted to pre-order the normal color God Bird set. Argh but it sort of conflicts with DX Combattler V in the financial timing.

Did Bandai ever release the giant chest cannon for Big O that was used in one episode? It would use all 4 anchors just to keep it steady and secure from all the recoil. No they have not released that, I think it was called the Final Stage Attack or something like that. It would make an awesome add on though.

I just have to say, now that I have secured Big O GX-48k, that this release and the Riobot Shin Getter are my most desired and are so exquisite that I wouldn't care at all if they were all plastic with no heft. Simply absurd how great the figures are getting. Yes, the DX Combattler is still up there but there is just something about the finer details that put these two figures over the top.

Thanks so much for the pics and review. I think I will cancel my preorder for him. Just not worth the ¥34,000 I was going to pay HLJ for him. Anyway, here's hoping Bandai rereleases DX Mazinger Z, maybe with battle damage parts(ha, yeah right!).

Finally this guy arrived today I'll try to review him later today and post more pics. Can't wait for your thoughts/opinion/review. Congrats on getting the figure so early compared to the rest of us.

Yeah, I am digging eKnight, low prices, free shipping and it gives me time to save and see reviews.

I didn't know there was a light up in the rocket punch, how many batteries will it require, are they included Looks small enough to be watch battery sized.
