Hmmm do I need a tread for all three legioss or do I just need one for the Ita. Choices so many choices. I guess if the tread is a crappy toy, I'll get just one. But if it's great then.....all 3. 

Why hello there Sentinel tread. This is gonna be expensive.

Amazon is going to have barbatos lupus soon 120 and free shipping

If they tightened up the joints on that release, I might pick it up to go with the Vidar I got.

Does anyone know if the sentinel blue legioss reissue fixed those issues that the first run had?  The wing flap that kept falling off, and the hip bar being out of alignment, etc?

My copy of the reissue, the wings don't fall off anymore, ankle joints are much tighter, shoulders are still tight, but not INSANELY tight like the first release. Landing gear is also easier to pull out. Only nitpick was out of the box the hip bar in armo-solider did not lock as solidly as my red and green copy. After taking a little kiki joint fixer, it holds now like it should. 

Dynames R3 looks pretty nice, but it goes in the category of "I don't mind owning this, but not at this price and I want your greener more sniper looking brother" and while were at it give me that MB Virtue the took these weapons from. Come on Bandai make the damn team for 00 suits.

Looking like the release for the Kshatriya Steel Legend Upgrade is near. I have been looking forward to this for like a year.

That upgrade set looks intense. While I don't need all the extra guns, the funnel effect parts and stand would be great additions to the current kshatriya.

Thanks! Remember skipping The Chose Prime because BBTS was a little cheaper. Guess I will put in my pre-order for Unit 02 with TCP and see what happens.

Hopefully, you also have a few other orders coming in at that time to get the free shipping. Otherwise, single shipments under $150  from TCP have gotten pricey.

Thanks for sharing your impressions! Hopefully the figure reaches US retailers soon. HLJ got their stock today because it went from 'Order Stop' to 'Discontinued'. 

Did you order directly from ThreeZero? Seems like this figure has been slow to reach retailers.

I ordered from the chosenprime. They got unit 01 2-3 weeks ago. They also seem to be getting a lot of threezero products pretty fast.

The Robo-dou will be my first ThreeZero product also and I am eager to have it in hand. Yes, it is more expensive than the Robot Sprits but has more paint and better sculpt work. My concern is the build quality for this line. Based on reviews, the ThreeZero transformers are well built with great articulation and paint. Hopefully the Robo-dou is more like the Transformers line than their earlier work. As long as the figure can pose without issue the money will be well worth for me.  

And Sentinel is pricing me out too. For the price they charge I expect to move an arm or leg without pieces falling off. 

I think you'll be quite impressed with the Unit 01 from threezero in-hand. Excellent heft, and a good amount of articulation, but could be better. The size is also great at around 9 inches. The color in-hand is also quite true to the movies with a satinish / pearl like shimmer to the paint. No erroneous gimmicks or over-engineering going on here. Just a good solid, heavy EVA that feels like a metal pole that is articulated.

Finally got my Gurren Lagann in after months... and heartbreak. The ball joint on the neck is snapped clean off. I think it's fixable, but damn.

Has anyone else received one that was decapitated? How difficult was it to fix. Seems straightforward. If it's simple, doesn't seem worthwhile to return it. Anyone have experience with returns to ShowZ that can chime in?

Contact the CCS Toys manufacturer email. oversea-support@mile-stone.jp

They should get back to you very quickly! 

Whoever was transforming that copy of the Zeta might have forgot to pull down the red panel that locks in the waist in place and then tried to force the waist to move resulting in the breakage. Not too worried here, Stiq's release had some folks breaking the landing gear because they tried to pull them straight out when you should pull them out at the angle of where the hinge is.

Ok. So it looks like my card alerted me for fraud international transaction. How many days till AmazonJP cancel the order if I didn't get back to them ASAP? Just checking since I'm going to call the credit card tomorrow to authorize the purchase. Don't want them to cancel my order. Hehehe.  

 

Amazon JP gives you 6 days to revise your payment before they cancel your order. 

Thanks to @sqidd for an excellent transaction. The item was well -packed and shipped in a timely manner.

ShowZ posted some new pics and gave it a price:

McShow 1/72 ZGMF-X42S ZGMF X42S Metal Build MB Destiny Gundam Seed
https://showzstore.com/pre-order-mcshow-1-72-zgmf-x42s-zgmf-x42s-metal-build-mb-destiny-gundam-seed_p1281.html

I had cancelled my preorder a few months ago with all the other 3rd party metal build cancellations because I thought it was listing that was never going to come in. 

Ohhh Ballzy. A 1/72 upscale of the MB Destiny is neat. With a company name like McShow that's hilarious. I wonder if this is Mo Show under a different name or someone has a sense of humor and trying to copy of the Mo Show name. 

Hmmm by 2023 I wonder if I will still collect toys by then. I hope after Hoquet's legioss gets released they show a nice tease of a painted ride armor for her and an imminent pre-order date to complete the team. 

Whew, that Hi-Nu will be so damn expensive whenever it gets made.

I see some hints of transforming elements in that Zeta. I imagine they are using the engineering from the metal robot damashii Zeta plus? Why can't Bandai have the balls to make a new 1/100 transforming Zeta gundam?

One could argue that a Sazabi of any scale is a semi-qusai statue. They're so bulky they have bad articulation by default.

The 3P 1/100 released not too long ago had pretty decent articulation and or enough not to call it a semi-qusai statue. Maybe Bandai heard the complaints with the Nu? If so great, but I'm not spending $700 - $900 on one figure. 

A large 1/60 scale Sazabi is cool, but if it is still a semi-qusai statue with basic articulation like the Nu, it's a easy pass for me.
