And it was based upon Mu's Moebius Zero. I'm just glad they went with this one first. Now my wallet will have a little breather until they announce Skygrasper with Sword and Launcher Packs. Here's to hoping. 43 minutes ago, eggy99 said: Prediction: Next P Bandai exclusive will be Skygrasper with Sword and Launcher striker packs. Would like to see: Metal Build Strike Noir and Rouge IWSP I would not be surprised if Bandai release Tamashii Event exclusive Perfect Strike. Although if they are all priced at ¥24,000 I really can't afford that kind of investment. I wouldn't mind a Strike Rouge as long that it will come with the IWSP Pack. Also, I wouldn't mind paying extra if they will include the Perfect Aile Strike Backpack to the Skygrasper with Sword and Launcher Packs Bundle. By the way, my second MB Astraea arrived today. Now patiently waiting for the Avalung Option Set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 So is the Gunbarrel an exclusive or a standard preorder? Hoping for the former- don't think I'll be able to get into the race for this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Gunbarrel is web-exclusive, so it can be ordered via Web Store (JP, HK, SG and maybe US?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Rasp Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I hope we will see a Metal Build Strike Noir sometime next year. I am not the biggest fan of Seed but I always liked the Strike Noir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggy99 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 first review: http://blog.livedoor.jp/hacchaka/archives/52029914.html I feel the MoShow 1/72 release is aesthetically superior. Now I want to find 2 more MoShow Strikes and the Launcher and Sword pack. (not gonna happen since they are mega expensive now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While this metal build ver seem to be base on the plainer anime look but was then given the MB stylize touch. Its gives a more Sharp flat angle look that is growing on me more and more. if you are looking to get some 1/72 moshow sword + laucher set , hobbymission have them for $110 for the 2 pack set. Free shipping to usa, and $3 more for other countries. http://www.hobbymission.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=104&product_id=501 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free shipping to usa, and $3 more for other countries. http://www.hobbymission.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=104&product_id=501 I also thought the Moshow was based on the PG, but I compared to directly to my friend's PG, and there are lots of differences. At first glance yes it looks like a smaller PG, but closer inspections reveals many unique design choices in the 1/72. Looking at the review from hacchaka, I actually prefer the look of the MG in the comparison photo. the proportions just look better. It all comes back to the exaggerated skirt design. Won't be surprised to see Bandai release a more brighter blue Tamashii Event version like the Strike Freedom next time. Anyone else thing MB Strike is very dark in the blue parts? It doesn't balance will with the bright red and gold/yellow parts. Also prefer they kept the yellow parts yellow and not chrome/gold (V fin example). I did see that right after I posted and started looking for MoShow 1/72 Strike again. Seems overpriced compared to Aliexpress. Also since I can't source anymore decently priced 1/72 "Mecha Worriors" I probbaly wouldn't invest in the extra packs without something to put them on. Strange that gundam model center is not selling the packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) No news about the Gunbarrel Striker preorder yet? [edit:] Anime Export has a site up but it is marked as sold out: http://www.anime-export.com/product/41010 . Not sure if this is only a placeholder. It says cutoff date for the preorders is the 08/27/18 to they seem to expect a longer preorder period. :P Edited August 10, 2018 by Scyla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shukenzero Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 I wouldn’t freak out just yet over the WE. The Japanese P-Bandai webpage is still up and preordering is available. Hold off until the main shops reopen preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
