My most expensive toy purchase in awhile.

I hope yours arrived in better condition than mine. I got one a couple months ago. It was like someone broke it over their knee. Straight from Sony. Practically zero packaging material. I was not impressed. At first I was going to get a replacement, but the return shipment was lost, so they refunded me instead and put me in the next lottery the following week as a guarantee. I didn't want to potentially deal with it again, so I passed on my guaranteed spot and stayed with the refund. At least my next credit card statement said I didn't have to pay anything because I had a surplus from the refund on the PS5 that I already paid the bill for :D

Huh, DHL didn’t ring the doorbell.  Figma R-13A Cerberus and RX-10 Albatross showed today too.

Awesome! Didn’t know GoodSmile made these Figmas.. I thought only QuesQ were making R-Type ships currently.

It's a tad confusing.  Figma did another one with the R-9A and the Dobber-whatever first boss from every R-Type game ever and now these two from Final 2.  Bandai has also made an R-9A from Final 2.  The QuesQ one is not from Final 2, the license says Irem, the original developer, whereas the other two are from Granzella who developed the two Final games.

These two were marked down in price before even releasing so it's probably safe to assume they aren't that popular.  I'd wager that even marked down to $85 for the both it's still too expensive for what you get.

We'll find out when I hook it up! 

No visible damage to anything so far. If it's broken illegal just return it like you did. I can continue on my ps4 for awhile longer.

Thanks for the info. :hi: I got an old Yujin gashapon R-90 from R-type III, which was the one I played the most, and for most part pretty happy having just that as representation of R-Type. Am weighing to get these Figmas, when I noticed that they made couple of Thunderforce Fire Leos, so might get that instead since I think Thunderforce ships are harder to come by.

Took a shot at it.

Make sure you open and and see if all the parts go together. I bought this a few years ago and one of the main cannons was broken and I couldn't even put the thing together because nothing fit right. 

- Right cannon broken out of box

- left arm wouldn't peg in

- right leg wouldn't peg in so statue wouldn't light up.

I'm tempted to try again but I'm very nervous about it.

My experience here:

Hopefully tomorrow I get to air it out. Yes definitely checking to see if everything fits and not broken. If anything is a miss, I’m covered. 

Where did you buy it from if you don't mind my asking?

Just as a general fyi for folks looking for R-Type merch, I don't believe Bandai has ever done an R-Type release of any kind.

Yujin did the gashapons in their Shooting Game Historica line (and a black 9A as a pre-order bonus for the original Tactics), A-Label did the 9A Arrowhead and 9D Shooting Star under the R-Type Tactics License in their Madou Gokin line, Good Smile/FREEing did the two Figmas as well as the Dobkeratops with a tiny clear 9A, and Ques Q is doing a 9A, which is out, and a 90 which is coming soon. Plum has also done a 9A model kit that has recently gotten a revamp for Final 2 and they've also indicated an interest into making kits for other ships.

So far so good. Everything is there. No manual though. Need to figure out which Bluetooth it is so I can start playing some Macross stuff.

Glad you got a good one! We're one for three here. If I can't get that Metal Structure Sazabi I might just buy this as a consolation prize.
