    Haven't gotten an email from Bluefin either besides the original confirmation. I'm a little worried, especially with all these other preorders popping up that we could be hopping on.

    Awesome! Thanks Bluefin and thanks to anime52k8 for providing the link!!!!

    I’m one of those that got a PO from bluefin the other day. The last email I received from them was the order confirmation. No cancellation email so far, and I’ve been checking

    I vowed to never give my preorder business to Nippon Yasan after the VF-31 Kairos debacle. It wasn't because of them cancelling my preorder for having insufficient stock, it was the extreme difficulty I had in processing the store credit they game me (they couldn't provide a refund). Their process wouldn't allow me to buy an item that was lesser in cost than the Kairos and have the shipping be covered by the difference. Nippon Yasan recommended that I request that the credit amount be broken up into two - the cost of the item and the cost of the shipping. I made the request and they never responded. After several emails, I decided to just get the whole thing over with and buy a more expensive item and pay for the difference with additional funds. It seemed to me that the only way to process that store credit was to either find an item with the exact cost of the store credit or find an item that was costlier. Not to mention tying up my funds for over a year with that preorder. Nippon Yasan is not to be trusted. Avoid at all cost.

    Yes, thanks anime52k8 for posting that link! Got mine, got charged 19 bucks for tax since I live in CA, but at least I got one without paying for NY's nor Nin-nin's jacked up scalper pricing!

    Got my Steel Legend Kshatriya. Such a great piece! The details on this figure is incredible. Although not as highly engineered and super-loaded gimmicks like metal builds, it suffices as it's a solid figure. Tight joints, QC is great, although one of my shoulder pieces is a little lose but has no impact on poseability or tightness of the joints. I hate that the it doesn't come with the gatling guns that the other version will come out with, but it's all good.

    Ugh, thanks fo the heads up Kuma. I don't think I can justify that price. The piece looks great even without the add-ons, but lesson learned

    Does anyone know where I can get the add-on parts for the Getter Devolution figure? Late as usual to the party, sorry....

    Just checking if anyone gotten their 31a order from NY recently? Still waiting?

    Hope you're right. My eyes aren't what they used to be and I don't think I've ever transformed anything that small and intricate

    Just like Mac Delta, this is an anime where I like grunt soldiers more than the hero mechs. Love me some gernsbacks!

    I'm so appreciative of genius taking the time so scale the toys with the illustrations to point out the similarities/differences. So very helpful!!!

    Just got both Rey and Stig from BBTS. Haven’t transformed mine as I am dreading it after reading and watching the reviews online. But the figure and bike are very impressive. The level of detail is astounding. The ankle guards do pop of super easy so I’m thinking about applying a very small dot of crazy glue on the ball joint to increase the tension.

    Thanks kuma

    To Kuma and for those that already have the metal build Laevatain, is it worth getting the v2 version or are you happy with the v1? I never liked the way that the v1 held that big cannon with its current articulation, which I believe may be fixed with v2. Just wondering what everyone's feeling out there.

    Thought I'd pipe in to say that I'm also waiting for my NY order to come in. Order #494335

    Does anyone know of any online retailer that might still have the MB Astraea for preorder? Missed the P.O. window then didn’t jump on BBTS early enough.... <sad face>

    Got mine yesterday and opened it last night. Absolutely love it! The joints on my copy are super-tight, which is a plus for me. The only downside is the decrease in durability due to all the plastic moving panels. While it’s an engineering marvel in of itself, the moving panels won’t be as durable as your typical flat gokin surface area. Definitely a figure you don’t want to be ham-handed with. My two asks for Bandai in the future: articulated fingers and brighter paint on the eyes. Posted this on robotjapan board

    I have the Sentinel version and I love it. I also have the original GX-13 and while it's not as poseable as Sentinel's, the size and detailof its individual components make up for it. With Sentinel's Dancouga, the canons are articulated so you can point them down to shoulder level, vs Bandai's which doesn't articulate.
  23. whitestar
    Thanks! I was hoping for more poseability
  24. whitestar
    Does anyone know what improvements the v2 Dancouga Soc offers?
