Hisashi Yuki has tweeted out a new image, showing the V-Star component of Masterpiece Star Saber and Generation 1 Star Saber in their robot modes. Interestingly, while the Masterpiece version of the Brain of Courage and Saber are smaller than their originals, the full Masterpiece Star Saber is marginally bigger than its original form. There’s evidence of some better proportions on the Masterpiece version, such as an elongated torso, and you can again see plenty more detail on the Masterpiece Star Saber – right down to some little doors on the inside of the legs, to conceal the hinges that let the lower legs swing out for the V-Star transformation. Check out the image attached to this post.

If you're in the states try Toydojo, the owner is also a member here.

Dont worry, everyone has to start somewhere
Well between AmiAmi, RobotKingdom, Hobby Link Japan or Anime Export it’s just a matter of personal preference or which site has the better price for you. All of them get the job done; I haven’t had problems with any of them, but be aware that you could run into trouble if you get a faulty or broken figure. Not all of these retailers are cool with returns.
Another option that can matter to you is that RobotKingdom and Anime Export (?) charge upfront on pre-orders, HLJ and AmiAmi charge when the item is released.
The only thing that you should expect is that the figure most likely lands in customs when it arrives in your country and you have to pick it up and pay import taxes/fees. It doesn’t always happen, but you should calculate it.
What do you mean with "Special Edition"? Masterpieces don’t have special editions, they sometimes include bonus accessories on Amazon.jp and collector coins for the Asian market, but that’s it. Aside from re-releases of course which sometimes also have new accessories or other extras.
You're welcome

Now here comes my noobish questions:
I have never bought in any of these sites. Wich one do you recommend?
Any thing I should know before buying a figure of this kind?
How can we know there will be some special edition like happened with Bumblebee?
Thanks.

Let's find out!

I'm sort of surprised at the $170 price tag at BBTS.

What's AE?
I'd figure shipping three of these from anywhere without free shipping would be a lot.

I'm starting to fear what shipping 3 of these bad boys from AE is going to cost… Maybe it might be cheaper to ship one from AE and two from a retailer that offers free shipping?

okay. .. so I've decided that I'll get TWO MP Sabers from Robotkingdom and a third from my local hobby shop.

Is trolling you favorite past time?

I imagine it'll be chromed at least, but metal might make it overly heavy; the hilt is already pretty huge. I'd be all for a metal blade if he's able to lift it, though.

Holy Crap, I love how it can do that sword pose.
I almost expect to hear Star Saber doing Satsuki Kiryuin's Humans in Pigs Clothing speech.

Wow this guy has some insane arm articulation! Every tease just makes him look better.

That two-handed sword pose is beautiful and the price sounds about perfect.
Can we just skip over winter this year so we can get to Star Saber faster?
Fort Max
Yeah I've seen all the pics. Can't get enough of this thing!
Sure I'd seen some folks still concerned about it though.
I'm intrigued by the sword being a different colour/material in today's Twitter pic. Not getting my hopes up but a metal sword would really top this set off nicely.

Such a stunning figure.
