HMM Gojulas the Ogre

[Hanyoutai]

The Sniper LS only has around 340 parts. Dibison is 455 or so, which isn't a huge step up so the Gun Sniper as practice is a good start. I also found the Dibison to be refreshingly simple and streamlined to build. It's a great kit~

How many pieces will this kit have?

[Hanyoutai]

We won't know until we have manual scans. I'm guessing 100-200 extra pieces.

Pre-orders have popped up. It will be released in December 2016, and will retail for 29800 Japanese Yen.

which is like 300 bucks USD...I'm never getting one then.

Amiami has it for 23430 and HLJ at 23840
Cannon set is sitting around 3500 I picked up a preorder for that. Might get a second set if I figure out what to do with them.
Still a bit shocked they're doing three big kits in a row. Give the collectors a break, Koto, jeeze.

This would make an amazing Christmas gift.

Would someone mind verifying what's happening with the Koto site as far as this goes?

The listing is here: www.kotobukiya.co.jp/product/product-0000002195/

They're offering some limited customization parts, but it looks a bit different than normal. They have a campaign page here: www.kotobukiya.co.jp/event/event-84825/

This still working like normal where you get the Goj and you get the parts?  Just want to make sure before I spend a buttload more money trying to get the extra parts.

Edit: Looks like the HLJ listing and the AmiAmi listing are showing those extra parts on the Goj, too.  So I'm confused as to what is actually included when buying straight from Koto..  If someone could help verify it would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the heads up. I preordered ogre and the cannon set from amiami. Which reminds me that I still need to assemble the first one.

i'd probably still have to buy it myself.

Looks like they leaned even more towards the Limited MK II colors in the toes and chest than the artwork before. Oh well, a December release is an opportune time to visit the hobby stores.  

So does a third party pre-order mean you get just the big guns + hand cannon? It's a little confusing. I won't miss the belts or massive stabilizers but the proper backpack and gut missiles might be worth a Koto direct order. Maybe.

no, i think the cannons and claw cannon is for mounting on your regular gojulas.

So ummm.... anyone know how much shipping on this beast to the US might be? I want, but... I think ouch.
