Zoids Aggressive Murasame Liger

[Hanyoutai]

The Blu-Ray colors are SO much better than the standard ones (i'm a sucker for blue-greens). It's a shame I won't ever be able to get it, since all the goodies it comes with makes it too expensive.

[Zoidstar]

That Murasame Liger is VERY tempting. I would definitely plan to snatch that Blu-Ray color, but since it looks like it'll be a pain to get. I'm a little iffy on the 1/100 scale, since I'm used to the 1/72 scale, meaning it might look out of place with my other Zoids, so I'll wait and see... I do like the Murasame Liger and need to add one to my collection in the future.

There's a strong chance that some of the blu-ray version will go up on sale on YahooJP seperate from everything else. But who knows how much the going price will be...
Although I like the blue one best I'll still probably try to get a loose blu-ray one.

[Hanyoutai]

I would estimate a $60-$100 price tag on the Blu-Ray Murasame during the first couple months. The HMM Ligers didn't see a completely insane markup like people expected until months later when they were less common.

$60-$100 Seems like a freaking good price, I always thought those blue ray kits go for hundreds. I so need one,and will most likely buy one, The quality of my downloaded genesis series is pretty shocking at times but it has subtitles at least. I wish they would release blu-ray with subs. Regardless is this already up for pre-order somewhere?

[Hanyoutai]

That price estimation is for the figure only, not the whole blu-ray set. Without the blu-ray discs the Zeros have sold for $80-$120 in the past, multiple times. Numerous Blade Ligers have sold for as low as $60. Not including all the exporting fees, anyway. I expect Murasame to fall under $60-$100 based on the prices of earlier box set ligers.

Great thanks for that, Absolutely going to pre-order one now

EDIT: 593 Australian for the Blue ray boxset holy F bomb . I need to take a breather

[Phenotype]

That's a really nice figure but the price is pretty hard to justify. That said, I'll probably get the Mugen Liger if they make one as it was always one of my favorite Zoids.

[vishus]

Agreed...those prices are way over the top for a 1/100

[Hanyoutai]

Murasame Liger's release date is the 30th of this month, and so its Box images have been revealed! It is nice, though maybe leaves a little to be desired? I like the silver shiny, at any rate. The blog also mentions that reservations for Hayate Liger may begin early next month, if I am understanding right?

[Leon35]

Any sight of the Blu-Ray box?

I agree; it's a beautiful silver but the see through packaging is a bit underwhelming

first world problem

[Hanyoutai]

They haven't posted anything about the box images yet but I'm also curious how they'll handle it. The previous BR ligers have just been solid colored versions of the box art but I wonder if they'll adhere to that style with the figure.

For the box, I think we as Zoids fans have maybe been a little spoiled with custom artwork for all the new products!

[pinkoctillery]

anyone here ordering from Koto's shop? I would love to get scans of the stickers that the shop exclusive came with so I can make my own decals haha maybe I can find the stand separately on jauce or something..

also, it's now out! woo! mine is coming in the mail next week.

I found a nice photoreview of the ZA Murasame, with some comparison shots with the actual Tomy kit.
