    I assume it would be the better solution to chose your own currency if you expect the exchange rate to go down until you have to pay for the order. If it foreign currency gets expensive enough to offset the worse exchange rate today you would save money in the process right?

    I think it looks good but I would be far more interested in it if they would release the other EW suits. But with this being a web shop exclusive I see zero chances for that.

    Thanks. I've ordered one. Time to cancel the regular version. I wonder if I should do that right now.

    So, will HLJ open preorders in 90 minutes?

    Thanks for the review. I think I need to find out if you did one for the Voodoo Salus because I might be interested in one. Having recently fiddled with MP Grapple I have to say one of the best parts about 3rd Party transforming robots is that you can have different mold for Bots that where meant to be repaints of each other. And while I'm not smitten by Grapple like anybody else It is nice to have him and Backdraft with a different transformation.

    Seems like something big is coming on October the 1st: https://twitter.com/LEGO_Group/status/897489066425552901

    So Han Solo is still alive but he was injured so badly that they had to transplant his soul into a hamster? Is that what I'm seeing here?

    Is the preorder date the 31st of August 2017 for the premium finish? Seems like the closing date for the orders will be the 31st:

    The green parts on the 7S are a more tealish blue while the ones on the 00 Raiser are a more yellowish green. They look pretty much the same as in the comparison pictures of the 7S and the KO 00 Raiser. That was one of the reasons why I was having doubts because I thought they should be the same color.

    Here are the images of the chest fins:

    MP-40 is just a repaint of a shitty sub-par toy. I'm bummed out by that. I thought MP-40 would be a cartoon accurate Optimus Prime or God Ginrai or BW Megatron or, or, or: Is FansToys Hoodlom comming with Firebolt or why is Takara releasing this? Here are some images: http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/08/09/takaratomy-masterpiece-mp-40-targetmaster-hot-rodimus-official-images-346648#images Also Legends Overlord and Blitzwing hype: http://news.tfw2005.com/2017/08/09/new-images-legends-lg-58-clonebot-set-lg-59-blitzwing-lg-60-overlord-346656

    It was one of the 42k yen ones from Mandarake. Item description mentioned only slight package damage. The paint scratch is on one of the red armor piece of the lower abdomen. Regarding the horizontal fins. They probably should be the same size on the reissue of the Seven Sword one right? Than I could compare them with the new 7S I got from HLJ.

    Sorry had no time to check it yesterday. I will try to do a closer inspection today but at the moment I'm pretty busy. However it might be my own paranoia that made me freak out. When I opened the package I was a bit disappointed of what i got. Some loose joints and a small paint scratch. I don't think Mandarake did anything wrong because the issues could be normal after the toy was opened and played with. Members here on the board always praised the condition of the second hand items they got from Mandarake. This was my first MB from them after I got several MBs off the aftermarket that where in better shape than this one.

    Thanks for the replies. The box is the official one it seems. However since the item was used and already opened I was wondering if there was a way to tell if the figure is a KO. Are there any comparison pictures between the real one and the KO? It is kinda hard to tell if the quality of the paint etc. without direct comparison. I guess I will use the pictures F360 posted and compare it to them and my MB Exia. I aks because some of the joonts are prety loose and one of the blue rings on the GN condensers is not as clean. However those came up after a quick inspection after I received the package.

    Is there a way to tell the difference between a MB 00 Raiser bundle and the KO set? I recently bought one from mandarake and wanted to make sure a got an official copy.

    I don't know why Arcadia doesn't offer the two versions at the same time. So you could order them like video games on Amazon where you can select the premium, standard or digital only version before checkout. This way everyone would get what he wants and Arcadia can maximize profits because more people would be ordering the premium edition because it doesn't sell out so fast like you have it with the limited quantities of the past PE releases. Or does Arcadia speculates on us customers buying two versions?

    amiami, ny or ae.

    Well I'm a bit in a dilemma now. I really want the premium edition but since these releases seem to be rather limited compared to the regular version I think I need to preorder one that I can cancel if the preorder for the premium one comes up before the release date. If the premium edition will be available after the release I have to make some tough choices. Maybe the preorder for the regular SDF-1 doesn't sell out so I can make sure to pick one up if I don't get the premium one.

    That goes for me two. As I said in a different thread I would be all for a Arcadia collection with only premium releases but now my collection is so big that it doesn't make sense to me to buy premium releases besides the SDF-1. I also feel that Arcadia is canalizing itself with the announcement of these premium releases. Now some people will not order any releases because they are waiting for the premium ones that are produced in very limited numbers and preorders lots sell out fast. That makes me wonder how the premium toys are produced. Since changeover manufacturing lines seem to be quite expensive so I'd assume that they produced the regular versions after they determined from the preorders how much they would need to produce and afterwards produce X number of units more with premium finish to save on changeover costs. If this is true it might have a devastating effect because they won't meet demand for the premium releases and have excess stock of the regular release lying around because people canceled their preorder for it. Doesn't sound like a good business decision to me albeit this conclusion comes mostly for guessing how Arcadia works internally.

    Oh my, they look gorgeous. How tall/what scale are they?
  22. Scyla
    Thanks a lot for taking all the pictures from Wonder Fest.

    Besides the Sword I really like the elongated head design as well as the overall look of it. Looks more like a melee fighter with all the frame parts showing through. I also like the shoulder, chest and waist area, indifferent about arms and legs (like the knees though) and I dislike the feet. Hope that helps.
  24. Scyla
    How about an in scale blade that fits into the hilt?
