Looking for the hivemind's opinions on sourcing the Toyrise Legioss.

 

I generally order from BBTS (I've mentioned this before, but they gave me some amazing customer service way back in prehistoric times, with an issue with a Yamato Proto-Garland, and have earned my business since), and they've been eating most of the tariff costs on pre-tariff orders, which is amazing, but... some newer price differences would be nice to avoid.

However, I haven't ordered from AmiAmi or HLJ in a long time (early Sentinels and Zillion Tri-Charger), so I don't have a sense of current shipping rates to the USA or tariffs, which they don't/can't easily calculate in (BBTS assumes a tariff rate).

 

It looks like the prices are currently:

 

1) AmiAmi: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=FIGURE-191150&srsltid=AfmBOorhdLzs5kKsjT01hziCEVBHjUD_cGToTOaXbv6xIeHzHDpChm2- :

-     -     10560 yen currently comes out to around $72... but then need shipping and tariffs.

 

2) HLJ: https://www.hlj.com/toyr-se-afc-01x-omega-legioss-omega-tkt08592 (our MW friend's link https://www.hlj.com/?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=scorchedearthtoys😞

-     -     11400 yen currently couse out to around $77... plus, again, shipping and tariffs.

 

3) BBTS: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/333868 :

-     -     $141.49 is hard to take; it's around double of the others, pre-shipping and tariffs; BBTS pile of loot ends up making shipping darn near free, but that's a lot of tariff action going on (though, in fairness, I DO trust BBTS to reduce their price if tariffs end up lower... IF).

 

Does anyone have recent experience to suggest what final, landed costs to the USA would be, or have alternatives?

Thanks everyone. I'm actually really excited for the Another Genesis line and, like I've often complained, having some genuinely PLAYABLE MOSPEADA toys (not just collectibles for display).

Below are some current examples of shipping from HLJ to Michigan with the tariffs.

Currently HLJ is only offering DHL to the states which isn't the cheapest shipping option. But with the shipping and tariffs it is doubling the price of the figures. Given the states of things, I am not surprised BBTS is $140 while the Japanese shops are $75. HLJ is extending the private warehouse policy so I am going to wait until the tariffs are removed or reduced. Hope that helps.

I can make it upon request; it's homemade, actually. I haven't determined the cost yet, but if I get a few orders, I might.

I am interested in a kit also.

Can anyone vouch for Robot Toy Base or Kicks Generation Toys?  Both are taking deposits ($20.00) for the POSE+ Legioss.  The prices quoted below are more reasonable than BBTS, but these prices don't include S&H: I imagine the final prices will all be within a couple $10 dollars of each other.

https://robotoybase.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=8238

USD439.9 +  shipping charge by airmail

https://www.kicksgenerationtoys.com/collections/pose

USD475.00 + S&H

I can vouch for Kicks Generation Toys. I purchased a MoShow Toys figure from them and I came in perfect condition. Shipping was fast, packaging was good, no damage to the box or the figure. Shipping for the Pose+ Legioss should be free from them, orders over $250 get free shipping.

Well, preorder for the Eva 00 and 02 with the spears opens July 18 P-Bandai of course, but also the set with the 3 spears will be available. 

That is exactly what I was hoping for!

It would be nice if Bandai does an option set release for the three spears. I have all three MB EVAs already and would like be very happy to buy a option that has the spears. The Gaius spear is an odd choice though given it's size, shape, and weight. Even in the promo pics Unit 1 holds it awkwardly. 

I put my pre-order in for Gargantos via BBTS.

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning-  In Theaters Feb. 28th

anyone going to watch this in the theater?

I have tickets for tonight with my brother and friend. I am not expecting to like this version or expect to be good. Mostly just curious what the series is going to be about and want to form a first hand opinion on it. 

Bandai has my attention. 

I will pick-up the X-Force 2 pack also and the symbiote Spider-Man. I want to like the Miles 2099 but the the color of the glossy plastic looks off to me compared to the black on the rest of the figure. To me it looks like a chocolate brown and the reds don't pop.

MoshowToys announcing Illustrious Class Tyrant – Foxhound Squad II as their next product.

I don't know what they were thinking making this video, but it had me laughing – especially the "freedom and democracy" part. Just watch it...

The trailer was ok until that last time, then I lost all interest.

I put in my pre-orders for Spider-man, Kaine, and Agent Venom.

I wonder how the Dragon House Mazinger Zero will compare to CCStoys.

$400 for the Metal Build Zeta seems to be the standard price at all US shops. Guess I will be waiting until release with the hope of getting at a Japanese web shop.

Looks like it. Aside from the Pose+ Metal Heat series, the prototype shown above is from CCS Toys.

Here's some info that I found online regarding the CCS Toys figures:

This release is essentially a perfect set that includes all three getters. They will be previewed at the Guangzhou CICF×AGF and the Shanghai Wonder Festival. Made of mixed materials (ABS, PVC, POM, DIECAST) they will be about 18 cm tall. They are the first models of the new line called Cheoljang (CCS plans to make all the robo getters).

Are they the same as the Pose+ models? No, the Poseplus have a very high mobility functionality while these CCS plus accessories at a much lower cost!

I feel like this is a response to the Pose+ releases and CCS toys is trying to do a quick cash in. I really like CCS toys, like they have done some amazing figures, and it's unfortunate that I already bought into the Pose+ line. Very curious to see what the price point is for the set. 

Is another company doing the first getter team from Armageddon?

Below are photos of the nosecone hinges and both hinges for the hip armor.

Bumping this, still on the lookout for any more broken Valks!

YF-29B with broken hip connecter. I attempted to fix it will magnets with mixed results. Battroid mode is good and the other modes are ok. Gerwalk mostly holds together but fighter mode is loose and the hip disconnects. All the accessories, instructions, and original box are included. Below are a few pictures, let me know if you would like more.

That 40,000 yen price is rough but Zeta looks worth it. I wonder how much the price would be if it didn't transform. I might put it into waverider mode once but its going to be displayed in mobile suit mode. I can't see switching it back a lot given the price and delicate parts with paint. Just hoping there are sturdy locking points unlike the MRD zetas. 

Kinda crazy how much articulation is in Getter 3.

@WhatBoutMyStar 

Nice review, I was planning to purchase one but I cancelled in the last moment, I am more interested  the upcoming VFs by Unix Square. 

 

Are those the stylize VF prototypes shown at the recent toy fair?

A big thank you to @max928 for the DX YF-21. Amazing price for the figure with a straight antenna. Awesome communication and super fast to ship out. Would definitely by from him again. Hit me up if you have a DX VF-1 Kakizaki to sell. 

Sent a PM for the YF-21.
