    Looks great. I wonder how this will pair with the teased S.H.Figuarts Kira Yamato figure

    Great looking kit, but it will be a while before it is available outside of Japan. Apparently, first release is lottery only, then limited release in Fukuoka Gundam Base. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be in a hurry to milk the Geara Doga mold. They have done 2 colour swaps since the kit was released in 2013 and that's it. Where is the heavy beam cannon version, the Stuka head version. Heck, they can probably milk a Gear Zulu out of it, maybe. I would love a MG version of this, maybe I will just do my own mode of the base Geara Doga someday.

    Looks like it is selling well. Apparently there is a second release scheduled for July 2023.

    Opened the Hrududu set and instantly regretted not getting 2 Hazels. They look great together.

    Thanks for the review links. Looks good, although the gold is a bit of a let down. It looks like there are only a few instances of lame gold. The coating also does not seem consistent, but the armour hides most of the it. I am still on the fence as to the value of the kit. It looks much nicer than the original kit but it is pricy for a master grade.

    Yes, I got an email from them on November 2nd saying they were moving warehouses and asking for patience.

    Pre-Orders at Volks USA start tomorrow for a Feb 2023 release.

    The follow up question would be whether you have to pay import taxes again once it comes through your mail system or via DHL/FedEx. If I am charged taxes by a Japanese vendor, they better not charge me again when I get the package. Thankfully, it does not look like they are doing this for Canada just yet.

    You can get much better looking 3d printed or resin version for $5. I like that they are expanding the line, but the softness of the mold is embarrassing. vs. vs.

    Pretty much came to the same conclusion with the RG Hi-Nu. I am blessed to have some local shops that stock Bandai products so I have been able to find them about 1 month after release in Japan. With most Japanese e-retailers stopping international shipping of Gunpla, HLJ is one of the last reputable ones so I don't see the situation getting better anytime soon.

    I think they teased that the zakus would be released on at a time.

    MRD Woundwort (September Pre-Order, Feb 2023 release) Hopefully, there will be a Hrududu 2 add-on to make the Woundwort Rah.

    Plenty of time to save, who knows, maybe your Valk collection can pay for her education (congrats, by the way). My wife and I used to trade off, she would go to bed at 9:00 and I would stay up until 1:00 AM for the "sew yeh" feeding, and she would get up for the 6:00 AM breakfast. Worked out great, I managed to finish a ton of video games.

    Good advice. It is currently listed for $70USD more than MRSP based on current exchange rates.
  17. Darth Mingus
    Very nice. If you have the chance, I am sure each one of those has a story to tell.
  18. Darth Mingus
    it won't, it will be $70...

    To be fair, it was a pretty sweet toy for its time. Hopefully this release will have better hip joints and a matt finish. It is unfortunately that the three copies I have of the VF-25 are so floppy I leave them in fighter mode.

    Bigger pictures of the upcoming Metal Robots Damashii - G-Parts Hrududu & Advanced Parts Set, available Available Sept 2022.

    No official announcement yet, just a tease: Metal Robot Damashii - Gundam TR-6 Woundwort
  23. Darth Mingus
    I think this is the worst example of this set. This looks so bad, between the busy design, bad tolerances. It just looks bad.
  24. Darth Mingus
    It's Bandai...and the only reason this anime exists is to sell kits. Hopefully, we will get regular release kits, but I doubt it. They will probably be all P-Bandai, reusing the existing Gundam the Origin kits or the Revive versions as a base. If they do master grade, they will be based off the GM Sniper kit.

    Shipping would be have been insane. it would probably be expensive to ship to Buyee and then over the moon to ship to the US. But I would love to own one as well...
