Bandai has announced the pricing for the upcoming Super Robot War Chogokin two-pack, allowing stores to begin taking pre-orders for this pair.
It is believed that this will be one of the first SOC’s that will be distributed in the USA by Toynami, which should make the toys more available and more affordable to specialty stores.
Dyzengar and Aussenseiter are set for a simultaneous Japan and US release in June, with a Japanese MSRP of 29,400 Yen and a US MSRP of $287.99
I may be alone in my excitement for this pair, but these two have been my most anticipated release for quite some time, so it hurts every time Bandai pushes them back. The latest scans of the March Hobby Japan has a color mockup of the molds though, and while Aussenseiter still looks a bit stiff, I'm super stoked for more info on these guys.
New pic! Also, pics of the upcoming SOC Raideen repaint!
Aussenseiter still looks a bit stiff, but Daizengar looks phenomenal. The chrome on his Zankantou looks almost like real brushed metal.
I'm excited for this too. Look how BEASTLY it looks! It may be a contender for toy of the year. I wish I knew more background info.
im interested to see how aussenseiter transforms
Are you guys going to buy this?
Who, me? You'd better freaking believe it.
I will buy it too
Nothing super new, just better looks at the magazine closeups.
I'll probably end up picking up both this and the SD Megahouse set. I wonder which will end up costing me more
When's the actual release date of these two item? will they be packaged together or sold separately?
They're going to be sold together as a set ... no word as of yet on a release date.
The wait is killing me
Release date!
It looks like the DGG Combo pack will be the most expensive SOC ever at 29,400 yen.
This is my sad face.
BBTS already has a preorder for the set up. Looking at the price they've set (and in the light of the recent news of the Toynami/Bandai distribution partnership), it looks like this set will be one of those that Toynami brings over. This is a little ironic, considering that Super Robot Wars is a franchise that's been eternally locked out of US distribution because of licensing issues.

Low resolution stock photos. Finally get to see Aussenseiter's Pferd mode. I can't imagine it wont involve craptons of parts swapping, sadly.
Sooner or later images with them together will be put up, it's a matter of time...
*rub hands*
Saying things like "I want to see those two robots riding each other" sounds so wrong.
And yet it's so true.
Dygendar?
Gydengar?
Aussenfrasntet?
Ausenfaratat?
Aussenfatara?
So which one is the correct pronounciation?
Out of curiosity, what exactly is a "Pferd" meant to be anyway?
The way I pronounce them goes "Die-Zen-Gar" and "Aw-sen-sight-are". Right or not, I cannot say.
"Pferd" is just German for "Horse". The SRW designers love those german names, like "Aussenseiter" which means "Outsider".

Obviously the worries that Trombe would be a "pony" are unfounded. I, for one, and excited.
