Got my SDCC exclusive Jaeger set in the mail yesterday from NECA. Not surprisingly, it is completely awesome. Beautifully packaged. The visors even glow in the dark!

I got my set today too! I love the window packaging. I am a loose collector, but this set is staying MIB for the time being as a "centerpiece" for my PR shelf.

Went ahead and pre-ordered the 18" Battle-Damaged Gypsy Danger with light up Plasma Cannon Arm from TRU...looks like it should be shipping in the next month or so.

Still excited to see Cherno Alpha in this scale...hopefully up next :)

Looks like 18" Gypsy Danger with Plasma Cannon arm is now in stock and ready to ship! Should be here by end of this week hopefully.  ;D

I also noticed TRU.com now has pre-orders up for the Series 4 Jaegers - Tacit Ronin and Gypsy Danger 2.0.

Tacit Ronin looks amazing. Not sure what the deal is with this Gypsy, thought we were supposed to be getting the plasma cannon arm version or the severed arm version next time around.

Est ship dates were October for the new Jaegers.

Got my Concept Axehead in the mail from TRU.com yesterday, another great effort...

Hoping the new Jaegers ship out in the next couple of weeks...

Just got my shipping notice for "Hong Kong Brawl" Gypsy Danger 2.0. Apparently his casemate Tacit Ronin is still on pre-order. Still haven't seen any new stuff in actual brick and mortar stores...

TRU abruptly canceled my pre-orders for Tacit Ronin and the 18" Cherno Alpha.  >:(


When I went back to their site to replace the pre-order, Tacit Ronin was no longer even listed. Even though I know for a fact he has shown up in stores already.  ???

Even weirder, 18" Cherno Alpha was listed as In Stock even though he has had 12/17 as the street date for awhile now. Anyway, I went ahead and ordered him and he is on his way. I am anticipating this will easily be one of my favorite toys of the year...cannot wait!

Well, Tacit Ronin popped back up on TRU.com but now with a 1/7/2015 ship date...sigh. At least I was able to get the R WEB# so I can just called around rather than pound the pavement to find this guy.

In other news, 18" Cherno Alpha showed up yesterday and is freaking amazing. And I haven't even broken him out of the box yet!

Broke down and ordered Tacit Ronin off Amazon last week and as it turned out, I found him on the pegs today at my local TRU. (Yes, insane day for a toy run) My order arrived later this afernoon so looks like now I have an opener.  ;D

Got Otachi yesterday, incredibly underwhelming. For $70 this thing should be a LOT bigger. First figure I've been disappointed with in this line.  :(

Big Ass Striker Eureka arrived yesterday. Aside from not being able to get his "back pods" to stay on right, I love it.

Wondering if they will get around to Crimson Typhoon in this scale. That would be epic!
