    Is this figure 100% good to go? I was just about to pull the trigger on him yesterday, but I did a little digging and found posts & comments of people saying the hinges of their Gorira start showing stress marks or even sign of cracks after multiple transformations.

    Can't comment on the long term durability as I just got mine and really don't have time to screw around and TF my figs multiple times, but I will say he looks fucking amazing. Not as heavy or as much diecast as I thought, but still a welcomed design to my shelves.

    Highly recommended!

    Is there anyplace to get this guy these days? I missed the boat on this one when it came out after shelling out to complete my G1 Season 1 shelf...
    Primal Prime is nice, but I'm not interested in going down that rabbit hole this year. :cool:

    I really like the swords but have no interest in the ape-cannons.

    Sorry to give this a bit of a bump. But does anyone know a place that still has this guy? All my usual stomping grounds seem to be out of stock. He hit at a time that didn't really work for me and now I'm afraid I'm screwed.

    Yeah I'm also hunting for him. Seems even over in the east he's super expensive. Did he sell that well?

    I can't find one anywhere so I settled on preordering Gorira Prime as it's the closest thing now. Not a fan of the colors, but oh well...

    Is it worth it to buy for $200? I'm debating on getting one now but idk if I want to pay that price considering it seems to be $30 over the original price. =/

    Good question, but it really depends on you if he's worth that much. I got mine for $150 shipped thanks to a coupon, but he was definitely well worth that, so knowing how much I like him and didn't know if there was another release coming, I'd probably bite at $200.
