Lolicon Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If it's the usual 1600 preorder start time in Japan, then that would be 2 am eastern time. Is someone trying to eliminate PO competition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is someone trying to eliminate PO competition? Lol! Always a smart move. Whatever the case, yeah it should be 1600 JST and I guess it's not a TWE so it will be another bloodbath considering everyone wants multiples and how hard it was to secure the red one.

You think it's going to be that bad huh? I may just skip it. It's not that important to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was barely able to get the red one preordered and it was by luck of catching a shop open an order a few minutes after the initial sellout. I hope I’m wrong but will see tonight.

Mommar Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Still up at NY now. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29936-gundam-fix-figuration-metal-compopsite-ms-06c-zaku-ii-type-c.html I find it fascinating, this toy is ~$170 and seven inches tall. Ain't nobody bitching about the price/height ratio like they are in the Mospeada/Legioss thread. And this thing can't even transform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shipping is a huge percentage of the item cost. I try and get as much as I can at once when I make orders to keep the per unit shipping cost down. I'll wager when these are released you can get them for almost this exact price by choosing a retailer with more reasonable shipping. Like AmazonJP.

Like AmazonJP. 2900 seems ok to me Not likely to get it at the same price but hopefully close. I got one from NY and AJ and NY is cheaper but I will get the one from AJ sooner, which doesn’t matter at all to me especially when it comes in a Kleenex box like my Bumblebee pictured here recently.

The problem for some of us, as we've gone over in this post, is that USPS are complete crap so we like to ship via methods that will actually work. What good is waiting for a ferry for three months only to have your local carrier punt the box onto your doorstep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knightdramon Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 BLEH, want that Zaku but just used my PP credit card for a big UK order. Would not want to add 150+ GBP to it now. Anyway...new stuff I got this last week. Got these 3 bad boys and some manga + comics. Got more Marvel stuff and 1 3P TF incoming and I think it's a wrap up for 2019. If I do get that Zaku I'll get the 1/48 Strike parts in March instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume 101 and 102 will be released separately? The 103 is tampo’d in several places so I can’t see them having parts to switch out. I want to be sure so I know how many to order. I want three with my Char but will get one of each or 3 of this one if it comes with all of the numbers.

Look in the description: -Designated decal stickers I'm pretty sure it means the numbers are not tampoed and it comes with the decals for you to choose. You can also see the optional head piece and all three together in the promo pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridden001 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Thanks. I’m grabbing them now, Char doesn’t look the same without the green Zaku’s. If I hadn’t asked that question, I would have burned and not been able to get 3 months from now. Thank you.

Just as a note for everyone, with mine the missile piece beneath the chest cover is not glued in and have tendency to pop out when you open the cover.

Some people have gotten really bad paint apps and loose joints. Joints on mine arent too bad but the hips really need some fixing. I think the biggest issue is quality to cost ratio.

I’ve been buying a few TFs here and there blindly and mostly from looks alone. I haven’t even transformed Sunstreaker or MP-36 Megatron yet. Maybe it’s time for me to finally quit.
