So is the MB Strike Freedom. The silhouette is quite stylized compared to the actual SF design. The original Freedom was close to the actual Freedom design.

Archer Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 So is the entire suit redesigned, or is it just the wings? Having a hard time figuring that out from pics alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggy99 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Before I saw the comparison I was thinking of Freedom 1.0 through rose coloured memories and didn't think 2.0 was any different. Upon seeing the comparisons there are quite a few changes, but not sure if ¥10K worth of changes.... ahh well times change... especially from 8 years ago! I'm on the wall about getting one... leaning to not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, I don't work for them so all I can do is speculate. 40 minutes ago, Archer said: So is the entire suit redesigned, or is it just the wings?

chyll2 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 The Freedom is now streamline to how the Strike Metal build looks. It also look subtle but the newer freedom has more articulation (but nothing to write home about, as the latest model kits can also do it) The Strike Freedom looks good but should look a bit different when you line all three, so I guess the tease of "unto Strike Freedom" is a tease that SF concept 2 (or any word, but basically says 2.0) is coming.

mog_kupo Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 I dont think we'll see a Strike Freedom 2.0 anytime soon If anything this new Freedom its more close on design with the Strike Freedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Thanks guys! Not to keep pushing my own agenda, but I swear that there was some mention of Justice being next after the freedom 2.0. I distinctly remember a promo teaser but can't seem to find it anymore. Hope it pans out, and I hope preorders for this aren't insane.

anime52k8 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Asking again because it got buried by freedom 2.0 stuff: Did anyone preorder an EVA 01 on amazon last month?

CharlesXavier Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Discount or not makes no difference for Metal Build Gundam currently. It will still be an instant SOLD OUT when PO opens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyll2 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 yeah, that is why I called it a minor rant, tehy can sell it at SRP and it will be sold out in seconds cause shop that sell it above SRP still gets sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlesXavier Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Metal Build Gundam and DX Macross are probably the most recession proof franchises that Bandai has. My rant: I only wish Bandai made more than enough for everyone. I don't care if they flood the market so much so that they have no after market value. I just want to get them easily for my own collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
