I like it. The glittery blue plastic is absolutely beautiful and the fact that its nine modes in one make it even better. Some of the modes leave a bit to be desired but overall I really like it. I love transforming weapons though, so that's to be expected. The fact that they were able to fit 9 weapons into a three piece toy impresses me to no end.
The starry effect on the plastic is neat but I do think it could have been sized up just a little, it fits well in my hand I don't usually go for weapons I've strictly stayed to henshin items and drivers Kyu Weapon and Kyuren-Oh are my first Mecha/Weapon respectively and I'm still unsure if the experiment for me has worked lol

I'm not even going to try, it's really become too much effort for one Kyutama
The implication is that this was meant to be a local brick and mortar campaign not on online one as HLJ and CStoys had no problems running the Ex Aid Eyecon or Proto Action X Gashat but this time there seems to be supplier issues to online places, I think CS has a brick and mortar location which is maybe why they got some in On another note, Kyuren-Oh and Kyu Weapon arrived today and I'm not quite sure what to make of them or if I like them and was just curious about other people's opinions on them I wasn't planning on buying either one but a stupid misunderstanding on my part about the Kyutamas led to me preordering them I did decide to send an email to CSToys, which was a situation I was just planning to ignore, because I scored one elsewhere and it didn't seem worth complaining about, until they posted another batch of packaging pics of people who ordered after me and got one. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to get it and if they had just run out it would be one thing, getting shafted is something entirely different. :shrug: |

My KyurenOh is coming very, very slowly so I haven't had the opportunity to mess around with it yet. The cockpit set will get here long before the actual robo does. I managed to snag a Pegasus Kyutama for about $12 from YJA. I wish I'd just gone that route in the first place.

By all the evidence, or at least the pictures they posted of packing, yes. But I'm hoping it's not the case and there was just an error somewhere. I'll post when I get a reply to my email. I'd be fine having to eat crow on this one.
You need a proxy service to buy from YJA. I use Buyee, even though they can be a bit pricey on fees. I needed someone after Yokatta disappeared and YJA actually recommended foreigners use Buyee on the site. It's virtually identical to eBay, especially through their native interface and I like that they released a browser add-on to let you shop at Amazon JP for things that wouldn't normally get sent overseas and then complete the purchase through Buyee's site. Like Mandarake, Japanese search strings usually are the way to go. I've gotten a lot of, probably too much, stuff from there over the last few years. Edit: Email follow-up: According to them my Pegasus Kyutama was added after the video/pictures were taken and the staff realized they forgot it. They then also forgot to tell me. Although I expect my somewhat checkered history with them led me to assume the worst it was not warranted in this case. They did not 'stick it to me' as I had surmised. They are, in fact, awesome folks this time around. CSToys: 1 My Pessimism: 0. Last edited by Thessair; 03-22-2017 at 09:09 AM.. |

Maybe CS ran it as a lottery system or simply forgot Otherwise it won't be good if it was deliberate

As for the Pegasus, they forgot but fixed it before it mailed. Unfortunately none of that was communicated to me so I assumed the worst. Thankfully, I was wrong. They were pretty darned nice about my inquiry, too. I'll probably have to reconsider my self-imposed ban on them. |

Glad you were able to get it! I was considering trying my luck since they had gotten more DX Cockpit sets in but I didn't want to overspend this month so I passed. Haha.
