Thanks, all, for the replies. I have always liked the design, and I was interested in getting this new release. I will take a wait and see approach. Hopefully, it'll still be available upon release.
Out of curiosity why are some of you guys rushing to buy this knowing that there's a good possibility that the leg joint will explode? Having read through the thread I didn't come across anyone mentioning that it has been fixed on this upcoming release. It's what prevented me from buying it the first time around.
I noticed they're up for pre-order on Amazon US. I wonder if they'll have any kind of price reduction at some point? Ranka's listing has the release year as "2025" I assume it's a typo.

I wanted to get at least the Frontier valks, but I had to prioritize some things this month to stay within my toy budget. There're just other things I wanted more these days. Hopefully they'll be available a month or 2 from now, and I'll pick them up then.
I'm at a point in my life where I need to spend more time enjoying what I have and less time going on the hunt. Personally, I think the internet, in several ways, pretty much killed the hunt.
I think some of us didn't catch what you meant the first time. You said "main guns" so I took it as the four big guns on the side. Apparently you meant the main gun, as in the front part of the ship that splits apart to fire the main cannon. It's one big gun.
I did find it cool that they were advertising product before the movie. Hopefully, some people discovered merch they didn't know about before.
I think the biggest let down for me personally was the sound in my theater. It should have felt like being in a concert. Instead it felt like I was watching it at home with the TV speakers and the sound turned down so as not to wake up the family.
