    Thanks for posting this. Was going back and forth about it but that seals the nope.

    -----

    Got grendizer fewture last week, and while it's still by far my favorite grendizer design, I'm just not as wpwed with it as I have been with other ex Gokins. Maybe it's because this is like... Number 15 or so for me but I dunno... This just isn't appealing to me like the others. I almost wonder if Getter Dragon spoiled me with all of the engineering innovations.

    Do you have any news about his ufo/spazer that seems to be an exclusive somewhere?

    Debating on opening up and keeping this metaltech gattaiger. It's a straight forward gokin from the reviews I've watched, but it's solid looking and the ufo looks so good.

    Hold up more info on this? I have quite a few Sentinel products and so far they are one of the best in terms of quality control. Can you ellaborate? I am more than willing to give them the benefit of the doubt on what 's going on here..... Is this issue widespread? Has Sentinel commented?

    Aaww that's no good. I wonder how widespread this is. Well hopefully Sentinel steps up and makes good on this. But why must Dancouga be the property that companies fail on?

    From what I read here and there, there's only ONE issue like this reported but people are talking about it like it's widespread. I don't get it.

    Now, if only it wasn't so ridiculously expensive for what it is...

    Hope sentinel have any potential issue sorted by the inevitable (I hope) final dancouga release, that being said, I'm still not fully convinced this is widespread, as it's not been out long enough for everyone to get theirs yet, so I'll wait for sentinels reaction (if any) and a larger sample size before crying foul

    You could say that about any Sentinel release I am not a price complainer but they are nuts on their pricing... I can't believe what I paid for Giant Gorg. Awesome but still.

    Just got my SRC Grendizer & Spazer. I had the regular one but I really wanted the iconic flying saucer!

    I don't know about that. I think the Getters, Dino Getter 1s and Cantis were reasonably priced.

    There was the set that was just the Spazer alone, if you didn't want the alternate white Grendizer.

    I know this. But, I grew up watching that giant robot. Had to have that one also!

    You mean the Dino Getters I guess I passed on those. I got Getter 1 regular for like 130? I guess that's reasonably prcied? The the Fighting Heroes I bought were about $100 each.... I don't know I think they are pricey but I also think they are the most interesting approaches to toys so I am fine paying a little more... Getter and Black Getter were well over $100 and not Full SOC size I don't know.... I highly recommend GG though.

    Both "regular" Getters and both Dino Getter 1s. The other two Dino Getters did seem overpriced to me but that's partly because I don't like their looks so much. I paid around $80 for each regular Getter at AmiAmi. For the Tatsunoko Heroes Fighting Gear, I paid around $60~$65 for each on Nippon Yasan.

    Ok! Cool! Alright! :redface2: 

    Charles/OptimusPrimeSG just posted his video-review of the SRC Spazer for the SRC Grendizer!

    https://youtu.be/CWSHTYNe72g

    I think he explained how to properly install the saucer-wings safely.

    :D

    Speaking of SRC Grendizer, I wasn't aware (my fault for not paying enough attention I suppose) that the exclusive Grendy + Spazer set didn't include the Space Thunder effect part. Not that I care that much since I have the original Grendizer release so I can use its one but that kinda sucks for those who only got the exclusive set.
