I stand by my statement, there's nothing here that's any more complex than what I could get in a $15 transformer (I was being generous when I said Leader class, and that's coming from a guy who prefers Sentai mecha). Does it look nice? Very! Would I like to have it? Yes. I'd love to support Bandai so that they'd hopefully make more mecha in the Figuarts line, but the truth is that there is absolutely NOTHING here that would warrant a near $500 price tag. To each his own I suppose.

I think he was referring to the price you said dude, not to your opinion.

Ah, haha, well then my apologies. I guess my opinion still stands, just not directed toward Sentai, lol. *Goes to edit post*

$470 too spicey of a meatball to swallow? Probably

. Just give it a few weeks on AmiAmi, it'll hit a DAT PRICE clearance.

So I'm hoping, either way I'm getting this thing, I want to support this initial mech release in SHFiguarts so that we can hopefully get more down the road.

(I'm not counting Power Dizer because that thing doesn't transform like this one does)

Like OOO said I was referring to the price. Which is monumentally idiotic for what it is, a DX Sentai Masterpeice Transformer.

Bandai, stop forcing yourself on my wallet before I call the police! I don't remember dropping soap!

I dunno, this thing is being designed with the Soul of Chogokin people whom have done plenty of transforming and combining robots in the past.

But 500+ is still a tough pill to swallow...I wonder how big this thing's box is gonna be...?

Then I have a little more hope it won't break as easy as, say for example, masterpeice Rodimus First Edition. ... Hasbro/Takara you make me cry.

I think the pricetag is up because of the trademark, since it's the first (That I know of) Figuarts to use something 'real' like the Prius.

I'd like to think that for 500$, and the fact that Soul of Chogokin is co-producing this, there's probably going to be SOME die cast reinforcing the joints

Now that I see being more in-line with the price. But you're still paying BBTS God Mars prices for a transforming Prius.

You guys aren't talking about Sentai mechs are you? Machine Itasha's the smallest Sentai mech ever, and this release is still well over a foot tall. If Bandai made other Sentai mechs in-scale with Figuarts, they'd make Hercules look like a candy toy.
