I'm deciding if I should preorder him whenever he comes up on AmiAmi or just get the US release of him.

The only thing I can imagine is the complexity of the paint and sculpt, which admittedly is pretty damn detailed (and what they're banking on since there's no accessories.) Baltan was similar in that regard.
But I'd be lying if I didn't say I find the price off putting, as I was with Baltan. Perhaps not completely unjustifiable, but a personal gripe since I love the design but can't justify the price on a personal level.

Anyway, I'd just get the US release unless you wanna grab two or three more things on AmiAmi. He's cheaper on there, but by himself and after shipping it wouldn't be worth it. (Plus if there are any QC issues Amazon would be easier to deal with.)
