WHAT'S THE NEXT STAGE?

Alright. So I found this chart from Hobby Search: https://www.1999.co.jp/eng/ems and discovered that HLJ's rates are similar proportionally, but a little bit higher. Adding the weight of all the items, I can estimate it'll be around 5500 yen to ship everything. Maybe a little more, honestly. If that's the case, it means that including the price of the Driver it'll be end up being 11,340; about 95 dollars. 3300 yen is around $28, so if I bought a Driver from AmiAmi the grand total should be something like $104. TL;DR: Waiting god knows how long for HLJ to backorder will save me about 9 bucks, give or (more likely) take. Now to decide if that's worth it... |

I didn't order the phone, so I couldn't say how that would affect it (i was just checking how that worked in my own warehouse). The phone is smaller than the Saber though, so it really shouldn't be much more (the Saber adds what, not even 600 yen?). 5500 sounds about right. Maybe even a little high.
I'm still planning to add the Hand and the first three November Eyecons before I ship mine out, but hopefully considering their size that won't raise shipping very much. edit: speaking of the Hand, official pics. It looks pretty good, but I have to say the port for the Cobra Mobile is way more conspicuous than I thought it was. Bit of an eyesore. Also they're only showing it from its left side which means that like they Saber it's bound to have a gross red switch on the other side. Boo. Specter Eyecon looks pretty good, though. Though it's both a shame and an oddity that, unlike the first scan we saw of him, Specter's Omega Drive isn't actually a Rider Punch. It...would have made sense.

Do we know how big the DX Hand is yet? Because it's MASSIVE in the show. I hope it's at least a little longer than the Saber...
And yeah, the seemingly changed Omega Drive is kind of a bummer. |

About the size, the original scans from the catalog do point to it being considerably longer than the Saber. Or at least the box is, though that's still a good place to start guessing...

...So I was watching a video about Wave 2 of the Gashapon Eyecons when all of a sudden...
Why? Why is the Gashapon more accurate than the DX? Why??? I could live with it if all the Robin Hood Eyecons were wrong, but to have just the DX be incorrect is just...awful. The DX are supposed to be the good ones! Man, what even... |

As crazy as it may look, and sound, I like the metallicy one. Just for the way it looks.

I think the DX wouldn't look as crunched up as the Gashapon. I mean, just comparing the number on top you can see the Gashapon font is unusually fluffy and just...larger. If the DX had the full name it'd probably look much cleaner and not as crammed.
