Going back to the color statements/questions. Kotobukiya uses specific color guides for choosing the colors of their Zoids. If you know anyone who has a new BF, you may be able to ask them to scan in the color chart. I've got the old/original color chart here. Excuse the hideous scan work, my scanner was having issues at the time. Technically speaking, this is a guide for painting sprue marks to match the kit, not a proof of casting, but if they changed their standard production colors I imagine they would've changed the booklet at some point, too. Koto has fixed more minor mistakes before. If the new instructions are the same, it means one of two things. Either they were too lazy to update the booklets, or the difference in color is simply a difference in casting runs. Unfortunately there's always going to be some variation to the exact, precise shades of different batches of kits. This can lead to inconsistency that isn't easily predictable.

When my Sturm Tyrann Berserk Unit Set went in stock, the shipping costs 7300 yen.

It could definitely be worse. It had so many extra parts, that must add a lot to the weight. Especially if you had anything else packaged with it.

That’s never been a issue, it’s the fact they released all in one month, normally it’s one a month

What would you guys normally pay for shipping for the Sturm Tyrann? I've been looking at Amazon, where I find Sturm Tyrann's price falling gradually (sitting at ~$147 w/ free shipping), compared to hlj where the price is ~$100, but I can't see shipping.
I think this is going to be the first Zoid I've bought in roughly 14 years. I'd get a regular Fury, but they're apparently not in production right now, and I'm afraid of missing out on my chance to finally own the Fury with Storm unit in any capacity.

What kind of shipping is it on Amazon? Mine with EMS shipping was just a bit less than that Amazon price.

I was sick today so I decided to start on the build since I wasn't working. It's been a few years and I'd forgotten just how tedious the HMM builds are. Took me all morning just to finish the head!
