    Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    Posted

    I am not sure how probable are preorder madness conditions for web exclusive Metal Builds.

    Heine Destiny may have been an exception due to production limits, but the SF Wings of Light would need to at least match the supply of the Metal Build SF.

    I am not sure how were the preorder conditions for the MB 00 Raiser and Exia Avalanche in the past. Don't know whether they closed within the usual 3 month window.

    MB Exia Avalanche, the regular version took a long time to close, probably couple of weeks?

    The weapon-plus pack on the other hand closed in less than 30 minutes (it had the same 2 order limit as Heine Destiny).

    As for the Dash add-on parts, I think NY only closed orders when it was near the official Tamashii deadline for it.

    MB 00 Raiser also took awhile IIRC, but that's cos the MB line was fairly new at that point.

    I'll just wait till it's released to the market.

    With 3 consecutive release windows, it might end up like the Trans-AM Exia and stay fairly close to retail price.

    What's more, with the upcoming 'renewal' of the original Destiny, prices might not spike too much ^_^

    *edit - got my refund notification from PayPal

    Oh, I missed this part out

    "なお、対をなす「METAL BUILD デスティニーガンダム」について、あまりにも多数のご要望を踏まえまして、このたび 「魂ウェブ商店」 で　「リニューアル発売」 をすることに決定いたしました！"

    MB Destiny 'renewal' sale as Tamashii webshop exclusive incoming too :p .

    Not sure if it will be a straight re-issue or with minor changes. Perhaps the WoL might be thrown in with this release.

    I don't need it, I don't need it....

    Anyhow. Can someone explain what the Assault Kingdom figures are? I figured that the bigger toys are similar to Robot Damashii figures but they are actually too big for the RD line so Bandai created the Assault Kingdom line where they can do these big toys and have smaller candy toys to be in scale with the big boys. Is this about right?

    I believe you can think of them as essentially a lower quality RD?

    Paint apps aren't that great, at least on the older releases.
