I’m not gonna pretend that Full Powered Gridman is a good toy, I bought that thing for full price and was definitely let down by it. But let’s not exaggerate the difference. Also stuff like stands not being in the box? I’d rather that happen to a GSC product than anything else - at least they’ll replace the piece free of charge. Good luck getting that kind of customer service with Premium Bandai.
I had a similar experiece, but i paid 5,000 yen less on my copy. I thought that was the retail price. Ok, so it was a trash release, that GSC at least gives stands for. The rest of that was an overpriced mess, that literally recieved no support besides the stand from GSC. The price difference may be out, but the customer support for everything but the stand was non-existant. The product had such a bad rap, you had to sell it at a decent loss just to be rid of it. For 15,278 yen, you can get an SOC that at least has build quality out of the box. For that price, Gridman should have been as stated out of the box, not a bait and switch. If there were time delays, they should have at least issued replacement parts to fix a good few of the bigger issues at that price.
My point still stands that it was a trash release GSC did nothing to fix. You in no way can fault P-Bandai, those products are for domestic sale only, and you are voiding the warranty by importing. Premium Bandai can only help domestic customers and, on the contrary, give quite good customer service domestically. They have on many occasions issued replacements. For example, the sentai artisan Aura changer set was missing one sound from its cycle, they issued replacments that included that one missing sound. In the west, Bandai of America, issued replacment parts to fix the lean issue in the legacy thunder megazord. The thunder megazord cost about $50 more converted than gridman, and the aura changers a bit less. Aside from the stands, the way GSC handled the situation was terrible, no customer support, for what was ultimately a moderately overpriced qc ridden faulty mess.
