Thanks for the info =-)

Still a bit concerned on those hip things, but fingers crossed it all goes well

65 US for the pair is a pretty good price isn't it? Do u mind asking where from, or was it not an online store?

They were from Yahoo Japan Auction site. I think if you search Ebay, you should be able to get them for around $40 each comfortably. But definitely don't over-pay for these toys. Knowing Bandai, they are likely to re-issue, or come up with another version of the Unit-00 when the 2nd movie is released. I get the feeling they are holding back with the weapons. I say the Specs Evas are not a must have, but they good fun. I would wait for the realization and see the quality of that one.

That was a draft design that never got used for the OVA. Just another excuse to get Mazinger fans to buy more Mazingers. It is quite kirky, so I am tempted too.

Energer Z?? anyone got news on this?? J

ust saw it and added it to my toy want list:

There hasn't been a lot of interest to me in the SOC line lately, I'm glad that other fans can get what they want but I hope they do some more 80's and nwer designs again fairly soon because I love lusting after the latest SOC but Godmars just isn't doing it for me, lol.

Speaking of lust, has anyone seen anything new on Konami's Gurren Lagann Great Impact model?

It looks a high quality piece but I really need to know if it's going to be worth that price.

It comes with a 1/1 core drill... and it has metal... and it looks great... but Bandai could chuck out one with transforming and gatai action for that price IMO. It's a bit stiff too in my opinion for something so big and with no tranforming gimmicks.

Love the series but I might cancel the preorder if I don't see anything that justifies the high price or something soon. I'm in a state of lust-unlust for it :lol:

That Chunky Spec is on my watch list. Hope we see more of the aestivalis soon.

And more from the link posted by Tober:

I might have to agree with Fort Max here.

Konami really isn't keeping my interest with these sub par shots of the Great Impact Gurren Lagann.

For $170 Bandai could work WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONDERS with the license. It's too bad they might not have a crack at it for a while.

Well I happen to like konami's high impact model. However I will agree that $170 for this toy is just not acceptable. If this was say $70 or maybe $90 I'd bite. I adore Gurren Lagann, but really I'm not willing to shell out money for every product out there.

Right now the YF-21 and SOC Godmars is on the top of my list.
