    I'll leave the link to the other thread since that's where most of the pre-release discussion happened.

    You definitely should've waited for Level 2s to come out. The Halo ones are really good. I don't have experience with the DC kits, but the LBX Level 2s (which I've experienced the Japanese releases) are fairly solid.

    I got my kit at TRU.
    I saw the other thread, but it was in the RUMOR section, so I figured a non-rumor section new thread was more appropriate.

    Im so ready for level 2 LBX's to come out! the wait is killing me..only reason I slightly like the level 1's is that they are kinda different then level 2's (which i heard were the same exact thing as the japanese ones) I've seen all three level 1 LBX's and level 2 batman/superman at my TRU but other then that nothing else..the sprukits facebook said "late august"..and the guy at my local TRU said around the 14th.

    Wondering which one to get first, thinking maybe hunter because he looks awesome, or deqoo because he might get army built

    Bluefin Distribution has already brought Gunpla and Tamashii Nation products over for purchase at your US-based online retailers (like BBTS and Amazon) and hobby stores such as comic book shops.

    Deqoo and Achilles are good starting points, but it's up to you who you get first.

    the Batman and Superman sets were OVERPRICED at $20! if it's $20 they should build it, not me! or make it like XEVOZ where I can mix-up/mash-up the two to make SuperBat

    They're cheaper then Transformers Voyager classes nowadays.

    Besides, for getting Japanese Models in America, those prices are a blessing. I should know, I collect Gunpla.

    I really want a Level 2 AC Batman. Looks frigging awesome! The Level 3 looks really fantastic, but seems to carry quite the hefty price tag.

    Everything's more expensive when it's produced in Japan.

    $20 for a Bandai model kit of that size isn't too bad. If it was Kotobukiya, it would be $35-40 for the same kit.
