The best case scenario/earliest anyone in the USA will have it in hand is Wednesday, and much more likely it will be Thursday/Friday/Saturday, provided the Cyber Monday shipping rush doesn't jam things up at the USPS...

Ah I see, but how come there's no Japanese video reviews of it yet? Do they not usually review X-Plus on launch days?

Well, it's only been 4 business days since the figure released in Japan, who knows how long such a big figure takes to ship in a country with such teeny tiny mail trucks... seriously, got more than one of these Gigantics on the route? That's gonna be a problem...

Mine arrived in Chicago! Should hopefully be here by the end of the week (probably sooner as Chicago is only a couple hours away from here).

Well the Ric didn't go up for preorder until sometime after the standard so it might be awhile.

Well guess who just arrived! Didn't expect him for a couple more days! Don't have time to open him today though.

How's the tail on your's? Where it attaches to the body mine doesn't seem near as flush as it should. There's a bit too much overhang from the main body and some of the gaps are surprisingly bad. Didn't have this problem with my Shin.

Mine looks pretty much the same, but it's only really visible from looking at it behind. It's not that bad really, maybe Shin's is better due to its tail positioning flat on the ground more.

Some outdoor lighting shots.

I thought this might be interesting to check out, a visual representation of the past year-ish of X-Plus standard releases... notice how the focus begins to shift toward the DefoReals...
