A few days ago, Super Minipla King Brachion(AKA: Titanus) made his grand debut at the All Japan Hobby Model Show, where Bandai announced that this bad boy will run you the astronomical price of 12,960 yen. Since his debut, pre orders for this massive beast of a model kit is set to begin, and with that pre-order some new details have been revealed that might explain why this costs as much as it does along with showcasing the impressive fully combined Ultra Zord mode.
A post from https://www.facebook.com/Tokullectibles]Tokullectibles mentions that it takes AA Batteries, from translating the pre-order page we can confirm that the kit will have electronics for some sort of motorized gimmick. None the less, pre-orders for Super Minipla King Brachion will begin October 5th, 2017 with a final shipping date of February 2018.
So P-Bandai just started pre orders for the Super Minipla King Brachion, a few things have been revealed that might explain it's price:
First, some of the parts appear to be chrome plated. Second, Tokullectible's facebook page mentioned the use of AA Batteries.
So it's quite likely that King Brachion utliizes electronics for some sort of motorized or LED gimmick....still expensive for what it is though:

Motor gimmick is really, really cool but I'm still not spending £100 on a model kit this size or quality.
(Tears up...)
No words...Should've sent...A poet...
Now you're telling me for the price of the Black & Gold Legacy Titanus (currently on sale for $120 on TRU's site), we can get a plastic model kit just because it has a motor gimmick?
So, umm.... Where can I preorder this? Ultra!!!
So it's going to be motorized like the original Deluxe Titanus?
