Scyla Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Seems like the Disney Chogokin mecha was a great success. Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Doraemon combiner? That's hilariously awesome. But c'mon Bandai, do a SOC Mekanda already. Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) OMG. What the hell is that thing? Those legs with the smiling knees look so creepy! I'm dying laughing here. It's a doraemon megazord Seems like the Disney Chogokin mecha was a great success. actually I'm leery of this one because the Disney chogokin had a really poor design where whole torso was held together by a couple of spindly little tabs that easily broke right out of the box.

Renato Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 It's not just Doraemon. I can spot Kiteretsu and Perman are also in there, so it's more of a Fujiko F. Fujio combiner. I can't wait for the Osamu Tezuka combiner, that thing would be awesome!! Quote

Gakken85 Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 They are cool... and it looks fun like the general Frankie, but for me it has no place in my collection as I have no connection to the show and I don't collect every SOC. Maybe it's a big seller in Japan... who knows. I'm kind of Glad SOC isn't always putting out something I want though. Save me another PO to buy haha. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 *snip*I'm kind of Glad SOC isn't always putting out something I want though. Save me another PO to buy haha. Agree, from a financial perspective I'm very happy that I wasn't into most of these super robots or other anime because while the SOC line has put out some amazing looking pieces I'm not at all tempted to spend money on them because there's no nostalgic or current attachment. -b.

treatment Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! Per Gold of Robot-Japan, Bandai is showing off their upcoming SoC reissues! :hail: I reckon the scalpers currently charging ludicrous prices on the old versions will start dumping them and flooding all/most online shops and auction sites soon at lower pricing and easier availability.

UN Spacy Posted June 27, 2014 Posted June 27, 2014 Kinda wish I held onto my Medicom Harlock. I love that they also included a Galaxy Express 999 with it too. I'll definitely wait until it's on sale though. Quote

Gakken85 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Still on the fence on that guy. It's fairly cheap... looks fun and cool for display, but doesn't fit my collection and I could give a rats ass about hello kitty haha. I see myself wanting to sell it in a month or two... Quote
eriku Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 I'll probably end up with one of those. My daughter loves Hello Kitty and robots so it seems like something I should throw money at. Quote
treatment Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) fyi. Shiny Chromey SRC Mazinkaizer preorder going live at ami soon. 5960y (excluding shipping-fees) Good luck! Edited July 1, 2014 by treatment Quote
Sandman Posted July 1, 2014 Posted July 1, 2014 The Arcadia is up for preorder. The preorder discount brings down the price to more reasonable levels. Quote
treatment Posted July 3, 2014 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) From France's currently ongoing Japan-expo. SRC Getter-1 and SRC Spazer for Grendizer is coming! w00t!

Major Focker Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 i'm unfamiliar with Getter stuff so thought i'd consult here. an acquaintance is offering to sell me his Fewture EX Gokin Getters 1-3, loose but complete with box. checked prices on ebay but they seemed ridiculous. what would be a fair price for this set? Quote
Gakken85 Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Not 100% sure as I don't collect them. I think they routinely sell for $350-500 looking at sold ebay prices. That's with shipping, and ebay fees. If you're not a getter fan yet, there are a ton of cheaper options to jump into the pool with. Personally, I'm not a fan of fewture's efforts. It's too stylized to me to represent the various animes. That's just my opinion though, lots of people love them. I would suggest the Sentinel Getters, (my personal favorites) or even the SOC Getter 1 or Dragon Getter. You can get either for $150 or less. Edited July 7, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote

Those are expensive stuff. Not sure what a fair price for those, even if loose. Not sure if he's a member here, but maybe contact Chachi of CollectionDX. He might give you a better pricing perspective since he bought and reviewed those Fewtures for CDX. Quote
Major Focker Posted July 7, 2014 Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) thanks for the input guys. i'm not a Getter fan and i only vaguely recall the anime from 3 decades ago, so anime accuracy is not my main consideration. i guess this is just one of those cases of "i have no idea what it is, but it looks so cool i gotta have it" that i'm so prone too. this one in particular caught my eye: checked out the CDX review and found it very informative. thanks for the tip. based on the SRP there, market prices now seem to be at +$150 premium or more. the set being offered seems to be a buy 2 get 1 free deal at SRP so i think i'll go ahead and get it. edit: gah! after a bit more googling i found out there are black versions unsurprisingly, they are more expensive. one costs almost as much the 3-set on offer. as stupid as this sounds, i'm tempted. whoever said gold is the root of all evil probably hadn't run into diecast yet.

treatment Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Yeah. I mis-identified the reviewers. Chachi reviewed the EX Gokin Getter Robo G versions for RocketPunchArmy: http://www.youtube.com/user/RocketPunchArmy/search?query=ex+gokin while JoshB reviewed both the EX-Gokin Getters and Getter-Gs (and black-versions) for CDX (alongside KidChuckle and TJ Ducket): http://www.youtube.com/user/CollectionDX/search?query=ex+gokin Charles/OptimusPrimeSG also reviewed the EX-Gokins at his http://www.youtube.com/user/OptimusPrimeSG/search?query=ex+gokin As such, all of them prolly are not MWF-members (or have different IDs here).
