Well, guess I will be staking bbts for awhile. Hopefully they won't have a big markup and I can get two.

Same, but Bandai is being very smart with the Metal Build line. They have only done mobile suits were they can use the frame multiple times. That probably cuts down on cost somewhere. Honestly I think that is a good move and make sense that they are doing the Crossbone gundam next with the multiple variants it has. Might be why they released the F91 and the Crossbone could use a similar frame. I can see them doing the Nu and Hi-Nu gundam. It is possible they could use the Sazabi frame for other bulky suits, the line needs some Zeon suits.

The delays suck but at least we have a good chance the ride armor will be a quality piece. I rather wait to have a solid toy than pay $175 for something with flaws. Hopefully it will be worth. Sorry to the people who have other pre-orders tied up with Stig and Rey.

Just got my package from Anime King on Ebay during the 20% off! I got the SOC Gipsy Danger for $198 and SRC Mazinger Zero for $88, shipped! Can't wait to get home and open them up. -

No problem! A Stoner Sunshine effect would have been great. Everyone that got a Shin Getter should email Sentinel requesting an option set for effects and proper weapons. -

My torso joint is good, it does not feel louse or too tight. Have you been able to use the smaller of the two stand connectors? The stand arm with the smaller connector is too short to plug into the back port. -
That is amazing box art, I love it. Can't wait to start building that beast.

Glad I am not the only one getting two units. I have one on pre-order at HLJ and one at BBTS. Definitely want to do a display with the Zeta C1s and EX-S gundam.- 5873 replies

I got my Shin Getter today and the damn thing is AMAZAING!! Holy crap did Sentinel out do themselves!! I will try to get some photos up but all I can say is WOW!!. It definitely feels and looks like a $300 toy. Solid paint work all around the figure. You have matte, gloss, metallic, and transparent pieces. The transparent pieces with the bright gorgeous green makes the piece pop. Tons of sculpt and painted detail all over. The bare plastic is not an eye sore and the face sculpt is perfect. I was very surprised how much diecast they put into Shin Getter. I am used to the Re:edit Iron men that are light so this was an awesome surprise when I picked it up. Does the Sentinel Mazinkiaser have the same weight? The joints have perfect tolerance and nothing felt loose. It is well balanced and can pull off any pose with the engineering they added. My biggest negative I have is why they changed the weapons. The toy itself looks exactly like it did in the show, but they way undersized the weapons. Which is a big bummer because I love the Getter Scythe. I had three very minor paint issues, but nothing noticeable. I would have to be looking for them. If Bandai decides to do a SOC of Shin Getter that will be the only competition. This is the current definitive Shin Getter. -
Yeah, they really have to finish the destroids. We just just need two more, you can do it Bandai!

If the Metal Builds/Composites are 1/100 scale would say the Metal Robot Spirits are close to 1/144 scale.- 5873 replies

I don't think they did the Damashii line, I know they did in the old MSIA line back in the 90s. I am hoping to pick one up at reasonable price. I hesitated during pre-order and they sold out.- 5873 replies

Probably, I am good at making bad decisions with expensive toys. I have SOC Dragon Caesar on pre-order. The Dragon Zord is my number one favorite from Power Rangers and I have the SOC Megazord. -

Nice! I recently got Eva-04 and was pleasantly surprised with it. I have some of the original Revoltech Eva toys and the new one is much better. I am looking to get EVA 13 next. Any thoughts? -

My QanT had no breakages or problems out of the box. Haven't messed with clear parts yet. I feel I will need half a day to avoid any cracks. -

I got my shipment in from HLJ. The Red Skull approves of the damage done to the wallet. I had time to open one thing and choose the Eva. I was very impressed, Revoltech improved on the original design by adding a revoltech joint to the hip. The original figures could only move the legs back and forth, no side to side. The added joints fixes that so it acts like a universal. It does not come with the same accessories as the original but the lance lance is great and it comes with plenty of hands. And they aren't using they usual revoltech stands, they have switch to using the figma stands. Got to find some time to open my new Hi-Metal R! -

That is a great paint scheme and excellent job on the gold trim. It looks very clean on the binders, chest, and selves. I have always had a problem with small bits of dust or hairs getting stuck on white paint. Always end up with one tiny black speck on a white panel. What paints did you use?
