    I only wish Bandai would release the other suits from Gundam Wing, at least the main five.

    To me Metal Build is the of a higher quality than the GFFMC line. The GFFMC line only caught up in terms of quality with the RX-78-2 from Gundam the Origin. So this, the Zakku and the Wing Zero Custom. The Zakku feels the most like a Metal Build toys. From reviews I saw of the older GFFMC toys are lacking, especially the Unicorn ones and the Z Plus. I don’t know much about the Psycho Gundam. It probably helps that none of the Metal Builds transform.

    I wonder if I should buy the Red Dragonics head add-on set to make my Red Frames more diverse. Do we know for which release this set is meant to be? The initial Red Frame release?

    Is my mind playing tricks on me, or did they remold the complete lower legs to make them more slender?

    I appreciate the offer @mikeszekely but I hope it will either show up on Pulse Germany or it will be released in Japan and I can lump it in with my bimonthly shipment. I can’t imagine that some of the Velocitron toys won’t be released in Japan. I would rather have an RiD accurate version of Scourge but this would be a fine addition to my Nemesis Prime collection.

    Looks great. I have the SHF Freya and Mikumo and hoed Bandai would release the rest of Walkure as TWE but that will never happen. So I need to get those because I too want to have them displayed with the Valkyries. Are they hard to find on Mandarake?
  7. Scyla
    So Velocitron Scourge is available for preorder on Pulse but already sold out on the UK site and not available on the German one. Meh…

    Arcadia VF-5000G

    Scyla replied to daBlah!'s topic in Toys

    For me it needs more definition on the head turret. Like painting the face plate in a darker green. The green color doesn’t pick up light the same way as the white of the VF-1 head turret for example, resulting in a loss of definition.

    Same…

    It is hard to believe that this car converts into that robot. Where are the hood, front fenders and cockpit in robot mode? And where are the bulky legs in car mode? I‘m not gonna buy Drift since I have two of the K3 ones but it looks damn impressive. It will be interesting to see if the company can produce a solid and well built toy.

    Since the Strike Noir has unique molding I assume it will be released later in a different color scheme as a general or TWE release. Maybe the show exclusive one is in Deactivated Mode? To me it seems unlikely to put the money into new tooling and use it only for an event exclusive release.
  12. Scyla
    Yeah, I need to be careful putting them on in the correct direction once I get mine. It would be obnoxious to struggle to attach one just to find out you put it on the wrong side. The connection reminds me a lot of the ones on the Yamato/Arcadia ARM-D carriers for the SDF-1. I had a hard time attaching mine. Thankfully it has only two. With my two Hi-Nus I have 12 Fin Funnels to attach…

    I think the Strike Gundam is probably the best toy in the Metal Build line. While I’m not enamored with the base design it is a pretty dope figure. And the lack of accessories makes it fun to handle since he is no overburdened with stuff you have to attach.
  14. Scyla
    That’s why it is super convenient to collect the whole Metal Build line. Just buy everything, so you don’t have to care about all that Bandai release nonsense.
  15. Scyla
    Sweet, didn’t notice the new color on the Strike Rouge backpack before. Makes me wonder if the Grand Slam will come in a set with the backpack or bundled with a redeco of the Strike Rouge.
  16. Scyla
    Is the Strike Noir the first Tamashii Nations event exclusive item that has unique molding? If I remember correctly, the other Metal Builds where just recolors. Makes me wonder, if they are planning to release the Strike Noir regularly.
  17. Scyla
    But the FOMO is real.
  18. Scyla
    Something about these spilt cars look super weird. Maybe they don’t sit close enough to the arms. Also the sculpting on Menasor‘s elbows looks like the thighs and waists of a Combiner Wars combiner.
  19. Scyla
    Well there goes another ¥45k-¥60k for my Metal Build collection.
  20. Scyla
    Got my replacement parts for D-Zef. Need to install them ASAP. Looks really dynamic in you pictures.
  21. Scyla
    Samus looks great but what I ultimately want is her in her Dread Gravity Suit. I couldn’t care leas about the E.M.M.I.
  22. Scyla
    So with the Japanese text or the direct link it works with buyee, from japan and zenmarket. Thanks for all the help everyone.
  23. Scyla
    I can’t access the YAJ site anymore since it is blocked for IP addresses from the EU. I wonder if this is why I can’t find it via From Japan and Zen Market. Is there a specific Japanese term for the item that will yield better results besides „metal build strike“?
  24. Scyla
    A slightly less depressing topic: The Metal Build Strike Gundam Helioplolis Rollout Version has been released as a Tamashii Nations Store Exclusive. I know it showed up once on Mandarake but I wasn’t able to find them via Jungle or From Japan. Does anyone know if they are widely available on the aftermarket or is it a super limited release (the price on the Mandarake listing doesn’t imply this)?
  25. Scyla
    Yeah, this preorder is a mess. At least with Metal Builds and DX Chogokins you know at the end of the day that you either missed your shot (and have to source it via other means) or you have one secured. I‘m so glad I didn’t get into this line when the Nu Gundam was announced. Although if they do a Metal Structure Hi-Nu I might not be able to resist…
