If that is the 1:2 scale one compared to the 1:1 scale that Japan gets, it's pretty damn tiny and shitty:

And we're all going to so much trouble to get it. If I wasn't huge MGS fan, I'd have boycotted Konami over this. :/

No way! Can we get confirmation if that's the 1/2 scale one? That's too small

looks right, half scale on height, width and length.

Do we know if the build quality on both arms is the same? I don't (much) mind the half scale thing, but if it's cheaper and lacking in detail compared to big brother then that's unfortunate.

Renta · Mar 16, 2015

It's not really that bad, come on guys

ArchedThunder · Mar 16, 2015

Wait, Japan is getting a full-scale arm? Why do we get a smaller one?

Looks pretty equal, the smaller arm is a little bit brighter with the orange colour in my opinion but that's it.

The Japanese LE costs around $300 USD.

Hm, I guess it's reasonable considering I'm only paying 40 bucks more for the CE. Thought it was going to be bigger

Fair enough, woulda been nice if we coulda at least gotten a 3/5th scale arm. Oh well.

SUPERJEM94 · Mar 16, 2015

Gamestop have the CE for the PS4 back in stock. Just ordered my copy.

malfcn · Mar 16, 2015

And yet.. Best Buy in Canada has it online, but not stateside.. GCU members continue to weep. 😢

JaseMath · Mar 16, 2015

Just got mine through Gamestop. YES.

SpikedGunner · Mar 16, 2015

Again, it's a wonder why there is still a delay if Amazon and GS already had opportunities to place pre-orders last week.

paolo11 · Mar 16, 2015

Did anyone one of you preordered the PS4 console of MGS V and plan to sell it?

Mike Golf · Mar 16, 2015

Got mine payed in full last Friday and payed the $12 to have it arrive on release day. Kind of bummed about the 1/2 scale but two times more arm for three times the cost isn't a great deal to me. Still going to use the 1/2 scale to hilarious effect where I work.

TwoDurans · Mar 16, 2015

I'm all in for the half scale arm because I don't want something as big as the full-size on my desk.

But even I'll admit, I'm less than pleased seeing the two together like that. The 1/2 scale seems to dinky.

DemiMatt · Mar 16, 2015

Any word about the console yet? I just found out it will be a Global release, but so far pre orders only in Asia for the time being?

bigger arm has actual screws in it though and more detail. Smaller arm just has indentations.

SJRB · Mar 16, 2015

I wonder if the smaller one is also capable of holding the dualshock controller, might be cool.

It definitely won't.

_Legacy_ · Mar 16, 2015

I'm definitely preordering. Really looking forward to this game!

SpikedGunner · Mar 16, 2015

So I'm starting to think that the CE will be available through only Gamestop and Amazon, since the MGS5 site was updated with the sellers that had the regular/day one edition and the CE:

http://www.konami.jp/mgs5/tpp/en/products/index.php5

I could totally be wrong and maybe that'll change soon, but I'm guessing if Best Buy was one of the sellers for the CE, they would've had it available by now. Shame because I could really use that GCU discount, oh well in any case I still at least have my Amazon pre-order.

Edit: Then again, Best Buy Canada has it and they're not listed as CE sellers on the site.

That small huh. Maybe it can hold my pen..? Or something? Butt scratcher?

What a piece of shit collectable, I'm still angry we don't get a Metal Gear or even a Snake statue.

Marvel · Mar 17, 2015

It's so small, lol.

squadr0n · Mar 17, 2015

Are we able to pre order this in store at Gamestop yet or is it still online only?

yeah, probably get away with a pen or a piece of paper or something as small. I can't say for certain as I don't work for Konami and I don't even have the item but I'm basing my judgement on the pics.

Personally, I'd have prefered a MGS figure or a swish artbook >.> Oh well, I've got until September to decide if I still want the CE.

Jingo · Mar 17, 2015

Im seeing game images and his arm doesnt look orange in any image i see, it seems only red , i cant check the 2 colors.

LocknessMobster · Mar 17, 2015

PO'ed two of the CE editions,gonna use the arms to clap my ass off once I finally beat this incoming masterpiece.

But no Best Buy..

gafneo · Mar 18, 2015

They are doing preorders again at GameStop. The date today is March 18 as a reminder.

Macrotus · Mar 19, 2015

I posted this in a different thread in a community BBS,
and I'm not sure if this rumour deserves a thread but is anyone aware of the rumour that Kojima Production might disband after MGS5?

Either way, I can't seem to post a new thread probably because I'm new here,
so I thought I'd post in this thread.

This started popping up today and people started saying,
Koji-Pros logo is gone from the official MGS website.
And Koji-Pros twitter account is also being deleted and is going to move to metalgear_jp.
And one more interest thing is that Kojimas name is gone from the Konami Personnel list.

I'll quote some Tweets between Japanese users regarding this.

Someone mentioning that there isn't the Koji-Pro logo on the MGS official website anymore.

https://twitter.com/524Ryo/status/578487011801075712

Someone posting a public document of the Konami Personnel list and mentioning Kojima isn't on the list anymore.
https://twitter.com/bubble_sayu_ken/status/578493324941635585

Someone summarising the situation.
https://twitter.com/anesa0204/status/578498825150541824

A person named "Junk-Hunter Yoshida" (he seems to have a Japanese wikipedia page on him)
mentions that this will be the final year of major Japanese devs moving away from consoles
and also mentions that Koji-Pro might disband after MGS5 releases.

AgentOtaku · Mar 19, 2015

$20 off with GCU!!

aaaand PS4 version ordered (^____^)

Ridley327 · Mar 19, 2015

It looks like Best Buy pre-orders are also ship-to-home only. Seems incredibly unlikely that any retailer will have these in their stores at all.

YuriLowell · Mar 19, 2015

Got 20 bucks off with GCU but there was no in store pickup option.

AgentOtaku · Mar 19, 2015

Ive actually warmed up to the arm. Its ridiculous in a fun way.
The 1:1 version is... yeah overkill tho, lol!

RobotVM · Mar 19, 2015

The only difference between the ps4 and xbox one version is the game right?

I wouldnt do that yet. I got my pre orders in as well. But I will only cancel my Amazon pre orders after I know for sure they won't cancel these pre orders. Best Buy has done it many times in the past.

MisterNugNug · Mar 19, 2015

Does Best Buy charge you immediately? Or are they like Amazon and don't till it ships?
