Man oh man. I wish X-Mas was over so I could order some stuff for myself. These keep looking better and better.

Everywhere I've looked online either has these gals marked as pre-order or backordered. Should I just put down a pre-order at BBTS? Where did you get your kits SS? The Samurai and Knight kits look really tempting. One review I read said the heads were loose... How are they holding up for you? Anything break or feel/look like breaking/stressed? Any problems holding the weapons? Your Number1 Fan -Some of the wave 4 kits look pretty neat too. But its hard to tell which ones come with the figure, and which do not.

I ordered all my stuff from Play Asia, but some of the kits are now out of stock. www.play-asia.com/paOS-19-49-en-15-busou.htmlIf anyone wants to order there, I have some good discount coupon codes. The only heads I've found to be a little loose are the Cat and Dog Types with their helmets on. That was a bit expected though since the helmets and hair on those two figures are so big and weighty. The rest are fine from my experience. I've had no problems with stress parts or them holding weapons issues so far. Which speaks to the high quality found here seeing as how thin the girls basic bodies are at some points. The only thing at all I'd caution people over is there are some very small pieces in the limbs that you use to convert these toys to using their armor and mech pieces. You need to be very careful not to lose them. I use some ziplocks to store those pieces in when they are not in use. The only expansion parts figures are these thus far: Waffebunny, Santa Claus Tasagur, and the upcoming Fort Bragg kit. The other 8 figures are all full on kits. I hope that helps, ~SS~

I ordered the Samurai and the Knight from the website SS provided ( www.Play-asia.com). Ordered them on the 18th... and have them in my hands today, the 20th. They came from Hong Kong... Thats some service. I'd use them again in a heart beat. Shipping wasn't even that costly. My initial thoughts on the figure is "Wow"... and it will probably be a line I start to collect full force. There are some pro/con for each figure, but I still really like them. Your Number1 Fan --gotta go try all the other armor combinations now. Muhahahaha

Wow, you already got them?! I'm still waiting on mine from play-asia but I used the basic shipping option. I think those two kits look really nice and the stands they come with make just about any action pose possible. I'd love to talk shop about them when I get a chance to check them out a bit more. ~SS~

I'm more interested in the mech sets like santa, devil, and angel as they seem more condusive to kitbashing... as opposed to the crazy customs I know this xevoz community is capable of... man I hope BBTS actually fufills there orders on this at some point. I've been burned before with orders cancelled.

I'm glad to hear that these figs are turning out to be as sweet as they look.
I ordered all eight kits from Nekosphere.com (cheapest prices I could find on the web, though they don't even have the figures listed on their site any more for some reason). They're supposed to be shipping on 12/27, so with any luck I'll have them before the new year.
I know I'm going to sound like a nutter to most of you for saying this, but I'm kind of digging the fact that you can play with "virtual" versions of the figs on your computer. Something about being able to play with the figs while keeping them MiB appeals to me.

An internet game where you can customized your characters to fight against each other. It would have been nice if they implemented it into a "command & conquer" styled game with legions of bashed characters. Would have been more interesting than the dice roll, although, for direct competition online, that would have made a nice variable.

Xevoz has repaints in the first wave. I'm not one to usually get hyped up on repaints, but IMO these are still the two best overall sets they have released thus far and the colors they chose make it really cool to combine the white repaint strarf with the white wave one arval and the black arval with the black starf. The girls feature new expressions and all new removeable hair styles which is also neat. I also would not be surprised to find out these come with a few different accessories such as the add on bombs and missles seen in the added armamants found in the online portion of the website. Can anymore read the page ot have it translated? I'd like to get more info on these since they are not listed on any of the busou Shinki dealers I've seen online yet. I am willing to bet these are online exclusives only available through Konami. Since I can't translate the page I'll probably have no choice but too miss out on these. ~SS~

I put out a request at a couple of boards that I know have some Japanese-fluent posters. Only one response so far from someone who could just kind of read it: They're coming out in May, retailing for US$50, and he was able to read the words "hobby" and "magazine", which leads me to believe that these will be magazine exclusives (Dengeki, maybe?). If anyone gives me a full translation, I'll repost it here.
