Congrats, Tbay! Glad you picked up this figure before he was sold out! It really is awesome and once you have it in hand you can't help but feel like a kid again!
I was the same way. I remember seeing this figure at San Diego Comic Con being previewed at the Sideshow booth. I thought it was cool that it was a 1/6 scale figure that was die-cast, but then I saw that $400 price tag and I literally said, "Hell no!" out loud! I just shook my head and figured things were getting pretty ridiculous with these figures and couldn't imagine this thing selling more than a few pieces!
Well, fast forward to now and it's a whole different story! Getting a great discount from Amiami and Hobby Link Japan certainly eased in pulling the trigger, but upon realizing I spend way more of a custom figure made this purchase seem like a bargain. Once holding it and seeing it in hand, that's where the real magic happens! Just feeling its weight and seeing all the extra details and electronic function just impresses on all levels! I'm certainly happy that I picked it up and can't say enough about this figure to my friends and fellow collectors! Pick it up before it's gone! After that, the $400 price tag will seem like a drop in the bucket once it's aftermarket value starts to climb!
