Armored Core Collectibles

[kyekye]

I used to play this series everyday since first PS1 game came out.
It's 3rd person Mecha action battle game from From soft - some mission based, but mostly customizing your mech(s) and getting into Duel with AI Mech(s)
It's mostly known for hardcore control - because you have to control your fast flying mech 360 degrees while shooting/changing weapons.
There has been some action figures and some mini collectible figures, but mostly Plastic model kits so far.
Almost all merchandises have been from Kotobukiya. I'm not sure if they have exclusive rights for the title, but it's been that way.

Here comes the new complete action toy from Kotobukiya

I've a bunch of their models and a version of this in red. This looks nice though, might need pic this up. It is significantly bigger but $400 USD is a lot compared to the models.

https://store.bandainamcoent.com/games/brands/armored-core/Collector's edition comes with Figurine (probably a statue)
Premium edition comes with Figurine + Garage

That is way overpriced, I love armored core a lot but that's crazy.

If that's a die-cast action figure, that price makes sense - and I would get it.
It's probably PVC statue thou..

Videogame CE prices are absolutely outrageous these days for what is normally a very mediocre collectible that you get with them. The Leon statue that came with the RE4R CE looked like crap.

To be fair, this set looks cool in concept but I'm confident this is made of cheap plastic, and for that price I would rather spend money on that new AALIYAH figure from Kotobukiya. The book from this set might be nice to have, but it's sadly only 40 pages... I don't mind higher prices on things if its known to be a quality product.

It's on pre-order?

It's on pre-order?

Kotobukiya one - mostly pre-order closed/sold out , but yes (depending on which country you're in)
It's pricey thou

Video game collectors editions are always overpriced.

Not even in hlj?

Last time I checked it was 'Order Stop' at HLJ. You might want to check there again. Also they might get extra on release day..

 

[user 71794]

Amazon had it for preorder too, that's where I placed my order but it's all closed now. Probably need to wait until it's released and keep your eye out for in stock from cancellations at the usual retailers. Supposedly to be released in June, but could be closer to September.

 

[OmarColeccionador]

thanks guys Ill wait for the release then

I just logged in again to tell you guys that Popmarket has the Koto Aaliyah Supplice up for pre-order. They currently have a discount, and if you sign up for their text and emails you'll get an additional 10% off. I occasionally order vinyls from them and I find them fairly reliable.

The Premium Edition of AC 6 is way overpriced, but it's guaranteed to sell out just like the other limited releases from Bandai-Namco (e.g. Elden Ring PE). I'd say it's best to get your order in if you're on the fence then cancel later if you change your mind. That goes for both the regular CE with 7" figure alone, as well as the PE with the craptacular mech garage.

 

[Solidus]

How are you guys doing with the AC collectibles? These came in the mail…

It feels great getting back into the series. The last AC game I played was For Answer. That was a long time ago.

 

[kyekye]

Got one without the Hanger.
Haven't started playing yet. I gear great things about it. Will spend some time this weekend!

 

[Solidus]

That’s awesome, I didn’t open my CE, because I want to keep it “sealed” as much as I can. The Steam edition has a card that would require me to tear it open if I tried to access the code, too.

 

[Solidus]

Been playing AC 6 for about a week, and it's so fun and challenging. It's neat how the boss fights are overwhelming and frantic - constantly forcing you to use new strategies and equipment. I still have about one chapter left and then I'll head over to NG+.
