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.

In my opinion, it looks like different colored parts that can be added on to the original gojulas, so that with them and the cannon CP it will make the original gojulas more like the Ogre.

pretty much so it'd be like the gojulas mk2 mass production version. they might release the back pack and stuff with the guns in a mk2 limited...maybe..

Pre-ordered =D

[Falcarius]

Even the text isn't particularly clear about it, but I think what's going on is that all Ogres come with a full set of equipment, but buying from Koto Direct also gets you a set of the extra parts in normal Gojulas grey (instead of Ogre brown) to match the separately-sold cannon CP.

EDIT: ...Which I think is what zeke8 was trying to say. To respond to CeilYurei, Mk-II Limited is basically identical to the Ogre (just different shades of brown and grey), while Mk-II Production is just a white Gojulas with the Buster Cannons and arm cannon from the regular CP, so I doubt they'll bother releasing any specific Mk-II kits. If anything, we'll probably get Gojulas Mariner and Iron Kong Yeti.

I thought that the Ogre had additional components lacking from the MkII; the missile pods, back-mounted power pack, and oversized stabilizers.

[Tayranno]

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for everyone's help and replies!

Also, centaur Goj!

[Maethius]

Clearly, those huge supports are designed to operate in both vertical and horizontal mode. Either way, they look better flat down, to me... and someone with unlimited funds is going to use them to make an Armored Core custom from them.

so getting directly from koto directlly gets you an entire set of aprts to turn your regular gojullas into a mk2 limited. or at least to give it the backpack and front firing missiles

Seems that way, you would just also need to buy the upcoming customize part kit as well. 

Now what to do with my new republic color gojulas customize parts that came with the koto version of the original kit? At this point I'm going to need 4 gojulas kits to display them all 

[LoveGame]

So they're also selling the CP by itself? I'd love that for some customs.

The HLJ site says you need them for the Ogre, as if the base kit doesn't come with the cannons?!

I dunno, I ordered both. If it turns out I don't need them, I'll just put the cannons on the Gojulas I already have. I also have no idea what makes me think I'll ever get around to building the Ogre kit. I think I haven't built an HMM since the original Goj, and I have a ridiculous backlog at this point, including three IKs. Oh well?

[zeke8]

To answer a previous question: The product page on Koto's site claims the Ogre has 1400 pieces.

Fairly certain the HLJ description is wrong. IF you look at the color of the CP kit, it matches the original HMM gojulas, not the Ogre. The Ogre should come complete as a kit. The CP will just add the cannons to the original Gojulas, with the Koto exclusive bonus parts that come with the Ogre will add even more "Ogre-like" parts to the original Gojulas.
