    I hope this does well enough so we get other Braves from this line. The transformation tricks are great. I'm glad the non-dynamic legs still look good for the perfect transformation.

    Hopefully, those connections at the knee to swap out the legs doesn't wear down over time. The perfect transformation legs look fine, so I'll probably leave them on. I'm kind of surprised no ratchets were done on the knees, hopefully the joints can hold up the weight from Ga-Orn in combined mode.

    In the video, they showed that there's a switch that you can press to swap out the legs.

    No ratchets in the knees is a weird omission, but the forward/backward swing in the hips being ratcheted should be good enough. That and Dagarn GX has some big ass feet so I wouldn't be too worried.

    Fuck, I just got a shipping notice from them and alarmingly it doesn't even say how much the shipping is!!

    Edit: I selected DHL, is that what you were quoted 32k for Roanstalker?

    Edit 2: Yes, they have charged me 32 fucking thousand yen for shipping, without asking me because I thought putting it on auto payment would be a good idea!! :rolleyes:

    Ah ok, it's funny that's how much the original Dagarn X goes for these days, I hope I get ahold of an original one someday.

    Got my shipping notice from anime export. The plan was to wait for Ga-orn and ship them together... but damn that's gonna be a 2 month wait on top of the 2 months it'll take to get here via surface shipping.

    Unfortunately, shipping prices are rising all over. I got a notice that EMS is rising up to 50%
