Amazon Japan was always my go-to for this stuff, outside of exclusives, since their shipping was only around $15 and I usually got it within two days. Their shipping is now over $20, and generally isn't worth it anymore for anything under $200. Of my upcoming pre-orders: V-Max comes out to $288 shipped ($11 less than BBTS before their shipping). Triverse Sunburst ordered for $115 shipped ($9 less than BBTS before their shipping). I do compare and contrast when a new set goes up, but most of the time BBTS wins for the smaller stuff.
RK always has plenty of stock... so you don’t have to lock in your order so early... Normally I wait till 1 month before the release date before putting in my orders.
That's what I did with DA-65 I'm very tempted by DA-75 & 76... but they release in August, which is ages away lol (I now wonder if I should get a DA-50... better late than never? and then what about the soldiers... does one match the 75/76 colour scheme better? :O money.)
RK's shipping must have been a fluke. It's back down to $53 to ship 2 full sets of DA-75/76 to Korea. That's a respectable number considering how big of an order it will likely be. Now then..... Who wanted my Triverse set? hahahaha
Bit the bullet, ordered the Gigantor pair, and added DA-58 to my Pol. I may pick up a Raptor Head or something down the line but that’s probably me done with Waruders for now.
The new heads really add a lot of variety to the Trivers units... but don’t think they were particularly well received
I think people will find more enjoyment with them once V-Max is out and the Cores can be incorporated into the trailer base.
I actually use the alternate bullet cores fairly often, but the fact that two of the heads were exactly the same really hurt what should have been nothing but excitement.
I'd say that for the price 2 dupes isn't great value for money. And its not like Takara doesn't have decades of head sculpts they could take inspiration from.
Most definitely. The fact that there wasn’t a third headsculpt is actually kinda insulting. Hell, there really should have been a different head for the yellow bullet core as well, since that sculpt was available on the marine Triverse figure. So really, they only provided one new sculpt in the package, then charged 60+ for it.
Dude! That is a fantastic photo!! Excellent angle, lighting, and depth of field. That scene tells a story. All of the photos you’ve been posting have been great, looks like you’re having fun!
Know it's been a bit... Here are some alternate ideas of uses of Dartloaders that I promised. Military Tank Mech mode. Heavy ground tank Ground stalker mode and battle trak
I haven't even received a Trivers "bot" yet, but still have enjoyed the Bullets set for some creative builds. I haven't even used the "head mode" for anything... lol
