For Canadians, A3&U did the same.

Also, the simpler version:

Just to be sure the only thing the box set has more are the "prototype" parts, an extra gun, and the stand?

Unless A3&U messed up their description, it seems that the sword come with the simple version as well.

So Hasbro Pulse has finally listed Godbomber, but only the standard version. Other stores like BBTS have the Takara Tomy Mall exclusive set, but the price isn't great, $240, MSRP with the exchange rate through TTM would have been $214, that should have been the Hasbro price (Hasbro's price for regular GB is $14 less than TTM's MSRP).

Weird, I know I replied to this. Early listings didn't mention the sword and it isn't in the pictures of the contents, but it was listed in the pre-orders.

On an unrelated topic, yet still appropriate to this forum -- anyone know if any 3rd party upgrades for Raiden are in the works anywhere? Every time I look at the guy, I get annoyed.

There's one that replaces Kaen with dedicated hips and waist, I have it on preorder through amazon JP, will at least free up the best trainbot to enjoy as an individual.

Long time coming.

Looking forward to mine.

I got my shipping notice for Super Ginrai, watching the videos from Takara Tomy it doesn't look bad and seems to be faithful to the original toy.

I got charged Thursday night, but still hasn't shipped. Seems unlikely I'll have mine before the new year.

I'm not supposed to get mine until January 7th UT that seems a little slow for DHL and Amazon Japan.

I find DHL gives pretty late estimates, but 3 or 4 days tend to be the norm from Amazon Japan. I did once have them ship via an alternative service and it took over a week!

Meanwhile I have a package coming from Australia via DHL that's been in transit since December 17 and being handed off to USPS for delivery, still isn't supposed to show up for another week (hasn't updated since leaving customs in California Thursday).

My Ginrais finally shipped. For the curious, buying the two from Amazon Japan was $381.48, buying from Hasbro would have been $440 plus another $25 tax so saved nearly $85.

Did you buy two of the same?

The tracking on mine updated to being at my local delivery hub. Even though the delivery date is still set for January 7th,i think I'll have it today or tomorrow.

No, I got Ginrai and Super Ginrai.

My Ginrai is still out for delivery even though it's after 9PM my time. Maybe I'll get it today but I doubt it.

Super Ginrai arrived at 10:25PM EST and thus far I'm pleased. The instructions are a booklet (thank God) and everything seems OK. Godmaster Ginrai doesn't like to stay plugged in but that might be intentional or just mine. Lots of diecast too.

Super Ginrai video!

Can't wait I'll have to wait...

Wow, he actually looks to have a straightforward transformation and fun to play with. Wish there was a comparison to Optimus in bot mode with Ginrai (not Super Ginrai), looks like they had to shrink him down to make him affordable.

Yeah, I recently transformed my MP01 and MP10 recently. Both were joy to transform. Then I did my MP44B... I had to watch Emgo's JTR. Not fun at all.

This Super Ginrai look as straightforward and fun to transform as MP10.
Joy!

News Credits: 331 · by **chuckdawg1999** » Tue Dec 31, 2024 4:02 pm

Ginrai really is fun. It's like they took the toy's transformation and added some bits to make it more accurate to the cartoon. My one issue is that the God Master loves to pop out and I'm concerned it'll do it while I'm not looking and my cat will get it, so I have to leave it in the box when I'm not playing interacting withe the set. I'm breaking my review into two parts and I'm saving part one now.
