Look at dat GuP merchandise.
Is that actually all GUP or is some of it generic tank models mixed in and sold with the figures?
Sorry. she sucks. Nothing we can do.

Yeah, it's an awesome episode. For people wanting to sample Gintama I say it's a great one to check out.
Next week: I'm guessing Star Wars parodies abound.
After March: The series ends again? Perhaps their tease of airing one of the longer arcs to fill the gap until the movie releases will come true.

Looks like it's mostly generic tank models that appear on the show marketed with GuP characters to capitalise on GuP's popularity. I only spot one of them with GuP printed on the box.
But she's part of the best ship. Can't suck.

All the official GuP tank models are manufactured by Platz. My recent browsing of the tanks sections in local model shops is research enough for me to recognise that most of those boxes are for Tamiya kits.
Its an interesting strategy.
I guess there arent many opportunities like this to move non-related merchandise based on the hype of a show.

The two japanese tanks are made by FineMolds, the other official GuP tanks are by Platz.
The other tanks are just generic model kits.
I have read more than one account of how Girls und Panzer is causing a sort of resurgence in the interest and sales of tank model kits. Hobby shops seem pretty happy about it.

I had no other choice but to bring her back after watching the glorious OVA episode.

But they did it because you were banned. No idea why he's still sporting it mind. I even made one but never used it. A bit like still using a real pic post January.
But the thing is, he only started sporting it after I came back. That specific one with Dwebble was originally being used during the time I was banned by someone I do know.
But whatever, I kinda like the fact that someone out there still uses it, even if I don't know who they are.
So Right Stuf is having a sale on everything Section23 (which largely means all Sentai Filmworks titles), but it looks like a good number of the more recent preorders are just maintaining the same discount they'd had before. Still taking a look at the full list though.

Speaking of Namco-Bandai, they're after myheartmoney!
Ah, those. Already bought one a few weeks ago, and got Estelle.

No. Most of those seem to be just normal tank model kits. It just looks like the store is using their association with Girls und Panzer to try and sell them.

Welp, there goes $400.

Looks like stuff has been lowered but then again, RightStuf normally discounts Sentai crap anyway, so it's probably doesn't seem as large of a discount.

You still get the turret though. That counts for something right?
Yeah I just noticed it after pulling the site up this morning.
A bunch of it is in my shopping cart saved anyway.
I know the feeling...
Kino's Journey DVD set on sale for $20.
Well, I was just comparing for example the K-On Movie, which was first put up for preorder at $23.99 and is still the same price.
Eh, I dunno. I probably can't afford much this cycle anyway.
Well, the sale says "at least 40% off", and it looks like that was always 40% off. (lol)

Most of their Sentai preorders are already discounted from the get go. RightStuf is pretty aggressive in pricing for preorders.

Ah, gotcha. So for some titles despite being on their big "what's on sale" list for this particular event they were already at the minimum sale discount anyway and haven't gone any lower.
Also I need to learn to do basic math to check what the current discount is on something.
To my novice eyes, it kind of feels like a fake sale because cutting a percentage off of MSRP seems like standard pricing policy for Rightstuf, even on brand new releases. Kind of dishonest, but I suppose that tapping into over-eager collectors who aren't particularly price-conscious must work.
Does anyone ever actually sell anime at MSRP? I don't remember ever seeing a retailer ask $60 or $70 for an average Funimation/Sentai release.

Really? It might be my anti-AGE bias but the voice was among several reasons why I couldn't stand Kio.

Well, the biggest model kit magazine in Japan has an own GuP section.
That is all well planned.

Suncoast, FYE and Tower Records all sold at around MSRP in the US. And now two out of the three are dead with FYE on life support.
They should have just made it a mini tank. And I just noticed that if I ordered for a premium from Good Smile directly I could have got a stand. I'm willing to put the money aside for another figure.

At best, this could be decent for some of Sentai's stuff that has been released and hasn't been regularly been discounted. Of course this does require checking the price changes regularly.
Uh, probably Best Buy is your closest chance to see something priced at MSRP.

Afaik, the Nendo+turret is compatible to the PzIV model kit.
Theonik

Yes but he's saying he doesn't want to have to buy the model to take advantage of it.
Why are there tracks? The turret is just a turret, the actual tank is to big for a standard Nendo base and Miho just standing there doesn't cause tracks. Silly Good Smile. In fact that road one from the 300 series would have made more sense.
Grass path base for Akari is awesome though

Oh, I see, that was silly of me.
Oh yeah, physical retailers. How quickly I forgot they ever existed :lol
Come to think of it, I went into an FYE in a mall out of morbid curiosity a few months ago an noticed Sentai's Amagami SS Pt. 1 DVD release for $60. I swear that place is embezzling money for the mafia.
