Three Figuarts that you'd probably never pose inside it?

And it'snot $500 either considering Amiami's price is over 8000 yen off regular retial.

Ok ok, there is a lot of talk about it being a $500 Alternator, but if you really break it down, it's not that bad. First of all, the MSRP is indeed at 36,750 Yen, but AmiAmi's discount of 16%, it is now 29,080 Yen, that's 7,670 Yen difference, almost $100 in savings. Secondly, Figuarts is about 1/12 scale (give or take) so we are getting a 1/12 transformable robot that's based on an actual licensed vehicle WHICH the Akibarangers can fit inside in either mode. Third, standing at almost 15 inches tall it's as big as MP Convoy but with heck of a lot more intricate details. Lastly, it's freaking AKIBARANGER'S CAR!! That tampo printed Z-Cune Aoi car wrap is beautiful! I spent about that much for the 1/3000 Yamato Macross SDF-1 and I don't regret it one bit.

For 500, I think it should be capable of playing of Heroic Lilly.

And I still think you're batshit crazy. I like Akibaranger, I want Blue and Red very very very badly. But there's no way, on Zordon's green Earth, I can justify to myself paying even the discounted price for that. I'd rather save my money for the American Release of the Goseiger toys.
