Sale is now on: http://us1.campaign-archive1.com/?u=f60cb1eee37a8df2b5c8e588c&id=eca7fd4dbe&e=268b99d8bb

Unfortunately, its similar to last year's deal.

Spent more than an hour to get it into this pose

Had the worst feeling that I was going to break something in the process, especially getting the dragoons on the wing to open up

Never touching it again

Seems like Thunderbolt is animated in 4K: http://animeanime.jp/article/2015/11/23/25803.html

Coming April '16

April re-issue

Just received my Strike Freedom!

Gave it a quick-check, happy to report that apart from some minor paint defect, everything is fine

Was searching for the original topic, but looks like it was locked.

Re-issue seems to be in conjunction with Sheryl's birthday

Wow the MB SF price has spiked to upwards of 35,000JPY already

Hopefully HLJ manages to fulfill your order mog_kupo!

Got my shipping notice earlier in the day and also ended up ordering MB Destiny Heine with my proxy

Totally broke now, and I'll still be heading to Japan in a week's time to spend even more money

Here's the Kuji page for it: http://www.bpnavi.jp/kuji/item/1268

ToysDaily forum users reporting QC issues on the SF

It is still a model-kit.

The runners and all are displayed with the assembled model.

The metal parts seem to be just limited to the pistons, so not quite the metal content of an MB.

Hi-resolution probably just refers to the kit looking great with a straight out-of-box build

News floating around the Hi-Reso Barbatos.

• Pre-assembled Inner Frame (think: Kotobukiya Frame Arms)
• Metal parts, for pistons etc
• All armour parts are 'painted' with metallic / pearl finishing

Looks like it would probably have a hefty retail price if true

Metal Builds are too pricey for me to get multiples

Who knows, we might get an event exclusive version at next year's Tamashii Nations 2016.

Perhaps a Prism Coating

and... gone!

Also, seems like HLJ has got their stock in, the weight and product dimensions are listed now.

Expect the payment requests to come in about 12 hours from now at their usual timing.

Saw NY list MB SF couple of times for 35,500JPY.

Sold out everytime that happened

I'm more disappointed that the RX-93 ν Gundam still doesn't have a PG or RG kit.

Yea, this baffles me the most

Not sure about a whole new Line, but it showing 2016. I guess it's consider a Kit, since you have to attach all the armor plates on. But I can say the same for the GBP armor on the valks. j/k

Either way they picked a good MS to start that line.

It's a kit look at those runners

There was just a sign that said Hi-Resolution Model: Coming Spring 2016.

No other information regarding the Barbatos at the moment, but it does look to be 1/100 scale.

V2 WoL confirmed as P-Bandai release in Jan '16 @2160JPY too.

Back to waiting for the RE/100 Kshatriya & Jegan
