Just how much is "expensive?"
Stepper
You are right,logically speaking,is the toy itself may get the chrome parts, i don't mind a leather packaging though.

pre ordering sunstorm next week just can't resist the limited edition

I think what they meant will be the toy itself has chrome parts,not the leather packaging having chrome parts if am not wrong. Toys having chrome parts will be more logical i guess.

This dude just looks badass I can care less about the box it comes with.

I can see the box being fake leather just because its cheaper as for the chrome cool I guess.
But I think it will be something more like hollow book with fake leather outer cover with chrome/metallic lettering similar to the book style collectors editions of SoulCalibur4 and Fable3

I am going to go out on a bit of as limb and say, I think its sixshot who has the chromed parts and the package is leather like not actual leather.
I maybe wrong but it makes lot more sense that Leather and chrome on the packaging for a character that has limited appeal at least inthe US m overseas i have no idea how large his fan base is.

This reissue Sixshot will come in packaging made from Leather and something even stranger, the packaging has chromed parts…………..A case of WTF! It's also not a part of the encore line, it's just a straight up reissue like the first reissue of himself. Takara have somehow made a figure, that would have been on most peoples buy list, to being off their list as it has been stated that this guy will be MUCH more expensive due to the 'over the top' packaging…..

Since it is not part of the Encore line,it will just be similar to the way God Ginrai which was being reissue previously,reissuing those more popular character,great.

Wow, that was quick confirmation after I posted this morning.

I could care less about Sixshot. I would love a Star Saber encore.

Interesting…well at least some news has finally come out about it. If the leather packaging bit is still true that could be unfortunate, to me. Sixshot will be expensive already because of its size, I would've been just fine with a standard G1 box like the '02 reissue and the Encore line. That said, it'll be nice to own one either way. Sixshot's the only toy that's been reissued that I don't own yet.

Kapow Toys wrote:Asia Exclusive Reissue Sixshot confirmed for this August – comes with premium packaging rumoured to be leather and chrome parts. Its also not part of the Encore line and based on the wholesale price is going to be expensive……eeeek!

Talking about this Sixshot,there is no confirm official release date for this figure.

Takara has so much stuff coming out right now, especially with all the Masterpiece crazyiness, I expect that Sixshot is being delayed. When I first heard about this Sixshot months back, they had said sometime in July..clearly thats not happening…then again, its Takara/Tomy, and they don't always stick to dates lol

Sixshot was not displayed on a Pub. Date for suppliers of TOKYO TOY SHOW 2012.An item released by December, 2012 was displayed on a business day.
SIXSHOT can expect that there is not the plan to release it before 2012.
