Robot Damashii Atlas Destroyer

Weird. It's P-Bandai, yet I can pre-order it from resellers as if it wasn't at all. Usually cuz when my local resellers carry P-Bandai stuff, there's always some sort of markup of, say, 18$ for a standard figure.

Was there some sort of south-east asia import I'm not aware of? Not plannin on getting it, was just curious. Maybe bluefin must've imported it too.

Honestly, I think it looks good. Once I'm finished with Fate/Zero, I'll see the anime. I only owned the Neca Jeager figures, though I was interested in the Uprising figures, but never got around to getting any, so I don't know the quality of them.

The Robot Spirits figures of the Uprising mecha were amazing, especially considering they retailed for $20 - $25.

It really makes you wonder what it would be like to get these nice figures at domestic prices without import fees and markups.

BBTS just put up pre-orders... at $60. Oof. Nearly double the Japanese MSRP, which makes me think they're middlemaning this and it's not actually being brought over proper. That's a major damper to me getting it. Have been enjoying the show, so was thinking I would, but...

That's price gouging if I ever saw it. My local online retailer has it for 35€ which is basically what most middlemen services are asking.

Price got dropped to $45 by BBTS. Still a little more than I'd like, but at the same time is much much better.

And hey I liked the show (although was way too short probably from usual Netflix shenanigans cutting it artificially in half to get more "seasons") so I do want it now lol.

Yeah, the end of season one felt about is satisfying as the pre-hiatus episode for PR, maybe even less satisfying.

Bluefin announcement of Atlas Destroyer, price is $40.

Did anyone watch the series all the way through? Does it get better? I want to pick up this figure, but I currently have no attachment to it.

It did get better IMO. One of the few times a Netflix series has had me really eager for the next season.
