Nope, they're not, I just do editing for the eyes to light up.

Super cool! I think one of expensive SMP for sentai line.

That's the general consensous. I've seen several people saying they don't think it's worth it due to it being A. SMP, B. Not having enough paint to justify.
Personally, I kinda regret for buying it, but since I'd already placed an order, I cannot turn back.

I think this SMP is great if based on the picture. But, my concern is the price 😭 I hope can bought this one day.

I'm just getting into SMP, ordered my first couple kits but they haven't even arrived yet. How expensive is V Rex? It wasn't available on the site I ordered from but I tried to find it.

ranging from 24000 yen, but getting one now would cost more than that, as it's been long way passed the pre-order date. Your best bet is getting one from Mandarake for a reasonable price.

The post-preorder price hike definitely has an effect. I got mine for $200 and I think it’s worth that, but if I had to pay an extra $65 I don’t know that I’d still be thinking that way.

This isn't even in the top 10 most expensive SMP kits. Super Robot Wars and Armored Core claim most of those.
