Recent GI Joe purchases!
-
It has been a GI Joe day. Managed to luck-out at a Target near work this morning and got a Baroness. The Target employees were very nice considering I was the second person asking for action figures at 8:00 am and the first guy was being an impatient jerk. They only had two and I felt bad for two consumers coming. They looked at Baroness and it sucked telling them that they were out.
Then Storm Shadow from Amazon also arrives today.
And since today is slow with work I decided to open up Snake Eyes and Duke that I got last weekend.
Also noticed when I was taken pictures that Storm Shadow is right after Baroness in the series numbering. I thought was interesting.

This is probably my favourite form for the Hazel. I am glad they are going to make this one kit instead of forcing people to buy multiple kits to get the parts to make this thing. I wonder if they designed the runners properly so that we don't get a box full of useless junk. I hope so, given the leftovers from the HGUC line.
mmmm.... Good point with the leftovers. The kit is priced at 8,800 yen, how much was the Advanced MG Hazel when it came out? Assuming the MG gundam frame (or most of the frame) is usable with the new parts and only the armor is replaced then we would have a lot of extra pieces. I am guessing the Advance MG Hazel is going to be used as the base kit (in white this time) with Primrose kit and a separate runner for the Tri-booster. The Primrose kit replaces the shoulders and chest armor. There will be extra front skirts since it uses the manipulators from the Advance Hazel. And the Hazel backpack is replaced with the Tri-booster.
Still super happy everything is in one box! I don't mind paying extra if it means I don't need to cannibalize three kits to make one suit. They should have done this with HG version.

Maybe they will put up a mass amount of pre-orders soon. Still waiting on other kits to showing on the US site. I am very tempted to order on the Japanese site through a proxy and just eat the shipping cost.

Hi,
Looking to purchase the Metal Build High Mobility Set for the Proto Astraea for a reasonable price.
If you have one that you are looking to sell or have an extra please reply below and/or send me a PM.
Thanks!
-
That price is really surprising, in a good way for once! I guess Bandai has made enough money off of the Destiny mold that they are willing to charge a reasonable price for a color change.

Do RDs get rereleased ever? The GP01 and GP02A were both extremely popular (or at least their lack of availability would suggest as much), and while I managed to snag me a GP01 for a good price after release, the GP02A is proving to be more problematic.
I think the only ones that have been re-released were the original RX-78 and Zaku.
I am soooo ready for a GP-01FB!

Shin is a crying bum, and we get several repaints
and Justice whips him in 5 seconds and Athrun gets nothing from bandai spiritsIn the first season of Destiny Shin was probably my favorite character. He was trained to pilot a moblie suit and did it well. He acted like soldier which isn't common in Gundam series. And to be fair he did kick Kira's ass and destroyed the Freedom.
The second season is were things fell apart. Shin was relegated to backup character status with Kira and Athrun taking over the show. If his character was flushed out more it would have made for a better story in season 2 instead of Kira's rebirth.
And it is super weird that both Justice and Infinite Justice get very little love from Bandai. You would think Bandai would want to make companion pieces to with their Freedom poster child.

I am going to have to take a hard look at the original I have to decide if it is worth a color/tampo update. The new version's colors seems closer to the anime than the previous versions.

The Lazengann being a model is/was some of the saddest toy related news in recent memory. It's by far my favorite design from Gurren Lagann and up until now I think all we've had is the Revoltech. I'm hoping the CCS GL paves the way for a Lazengann companion piece.
I would love to see a Lazengann CCS companion piece. We almost got Lazengann in the Super Robot Chogokin line but it never came out before the line ended.

Not sure if Bluefins got extras or these are from cancelled orders but they the Snow White and Metal Composite funnels in stock.
They also have a few Robot Spirits on sale also.
-
Just an FYI, I talked with an Target employee this morning and she mentioned that they have GI Joe Classified cases street dated for September 5th. I am guessing they are wave 2.
-
Dude you are so lucky!! Out of curiosity what city or state did you find Baroness?
-
P-Bandai US has placeholders up for a TON of Gunpla Expo Exclusives. If anyone has wanted a clear version of a kit they will have it available.
I am eyeing the clear Moon Gundam, RG Unicorn Perfectibility and four different gunpla weapon systems.

Don't know if this is what caused the price hike.
"ONE:12 COLLECTIVE Death Dealer - Exclusive figure, art print, and enamel pin set."
Mezco needs to calm down with the extra stuff they are including with the figure. If they want to the produce the extra stuff that is fine but have it as an optional add-on. I imagine most people just want the figure and would rather pay a lower price without pins, t-shirts, and lanyards.

There is, a backpack holding connection part will do. It is a sharp one, very nice and tight joints. However, I’d like to point out the 1.0 version can also do upside down.
Huh, didn't know the 1.0 version could do that. Hopefully the shipments to the states won't take forever. It is always exciting getting a new Metal Build.
-
Very nice! Looks like it will fit in with the current Metal Build styling of the SEED suits better than the original version.
Is there a special connection for displaying it upside down?
-
I wonder why P-bandai US is lagging with getting the pre-orders for the new kits. They put up the robot spirits unicorn up really fast. I am waiting for the new AOZ.

The 00 line is just becoming incestuous at this point. The Exia feeds into the 00, they both feed into the Quanta, the Quanta feeds back into this Exia...
Next thing you'll see is 00 Gundam Repair XN Raiser 7S/G Full Saber GN Condenser Type (Trans Am Mode).
I won't be surprised when they announce a Quanta Full Saber version.

Let me know if you want any other pictures.

Does anyone know why the secondary market prices for the Proto Astraea Option Set has been so high lately? I haven't seen a set below 22,000 yen, most are around the 30,000 yen.
Is the set still too new to get a good price or is it in high demand?

True, that prototype Dom in the Robot Spirits line went up the same day on P-Bandai US as Japan. The RS line must be selling well state side.
