the armor is pretty much the same but...

Is the armor still going to be able to become a separate mech?

im sorry. I'm going to sound really noobish but thats because i am new to busou shinki. I'm wondering what in the world it means for it to be a dengeki hobby limited edition and if i can still get my hands on them for a fairly cheap price like the other shinki.

Dengeki Hobby limited are mail order exclusive. The order form came with selected issue of Dengeki Hobby magazine in Japan for a limited time only, and mail order is only available to Japan's residents.

They go for 2 to 3 times the retail price on ebay and other online auction site.

Another type of exclusive are Konamistyle webshop version. This is much easier to obtain. All you need is to place an order with any type of Japanese proxy service online. They also have a very limited run on production.

Hope that answer all your question.

To summarise...no, you cant really get them cheap, sadly. :) If you're lucky, you can get one through a proxy before all the scalpers grab them and mark them up on ebay/yahoo Japan.

What is a proxy service?
Well, if a company only ships to Japan, but there are potential foreign customers; what do you think happens?
"Middlemen" services appear. These are the proxy services. You send them the money, they place the order for you and recieve the item. You then pay them the shipping cost to get it sent over to you.
Everyone has their own preferences on what proxy service they use.
I use Celga.
