Bandai/Tamashii announces the RETURN OF JUMBO MACHINDERS!

[drquest]

Looks like my Mazinger Z has shipped.

Well I'm excited for it, but the sooner it arrives just means the sooner I have to explain to my wife why it arrived on our front porch.

From what I've seen on Facebook people in Mexico already have the JM, which is a hop, skip, and a jump from where I live in AZ. That's what makes it strange to me.

I'm not sweating it. It'll get here when it gets here. October sounds right if they're in Japan now. You have to figure it takes about two months to arrive by boat, then distribution to the various warehouses, and finally shipment to the consumer.

It seems some folks already own the first JM Bandai put out. I preordered mine on Amazon and it doesn't seem promising that I have to wait until October.

Looks like shops in Japan have been getting the first issue of this, the Jumbo Mazinger Z in.

Hopefully the sellers in the states will be getting theirs as well.

I’m the same way, I really want an affordable shogun Godzilla to go up against my Great Mazinger just like I had as a kid.

[drquest]

I wish Bandai would do a Jumbo club type of thing so you can buy directly from them. They would know based on the preorders how many to manufacture.

[B-Lister]

There was never a GodIlla in the vintage Jumbo Machinder line.

[PNGwynne]

OMG Awesome, take my money. Just preordered, thank you.

Now I just need to require a Shogun Godzilla.

IMG_3127.jpg They are similar but there are differences or variations. Plus you can never have enough! So I will have both.

[Jase]

To each their own.

[B-Lister]

I'd never cancel the Mazinger Z in favor of Great Mazinga. I *have* a Jumbo Great Mazinga. What I DON'T have is a Jumbo Mazinger Z because it ws never released here. I'd rather have something I don't have, or can't easily get.

[shaunaconda]

Same, I ordered with BBTS.

[Jase]

Got my preorder in @BBTS. I’m slightly tempted to cancel the Mazinger Z now as they are so similar. Hmmm….
