Hi guys, so after emailing a number of proxies and doing some looking on the internet I am still looking for some help. Bandai has a support site that you can email them. The catch is you need an address in Japan to fill out their "contact us" form. So I am reaching out to any member located in Japan, if you are able and have the time to submit a ticket through the site below I would be very grateful. Of course I was pay for any fee, shipping and compensate you for your time. https://support.bandaispirits.co.jp/s/ I can send you the purchase information and a typed summary of the problem. Thank you in advance if anyone can help. I will also post this in the wanted section. Apologizes for derailing the thread but I figured this thread a good amount of traffic. -
Most of the suit redesigns/extra equipment from the manga were to bridge the gap between the TV designs and EW designs. I believe the current volume has all of the EW designs fighting during the Libra battle. So happy they are releasing the Igel equipment and hopefully Bluefin will have some pre-orders up. Need to pick the P-Bandai Shenlong now.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
General Rasp replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I think the GP01 looks great based on what Bandai is doing with the Robot Damashii line. Great articulation, proportions and accessories with effects. More markings would be nice but this is exactly what I want for this release. Plus if they complete the whole series in this line even better. If Bandai releases a Metal Robot later I will be buying that one too. Part of the appeal for me is having all the suits from the series in the same line. It is really nice having almost every single mobile suit from 0080. I think the last one to announce is the Zok'E. -
Thank you so much for your help and advice guys!

So I got around to opening by Proto Astrea from Nippon-Yasan and it is missing an armor piece. I contacted NY to asked if I could exchange my copy for a new one and they replied "We will contact the manufacture for a replacement piece and get back to you." I know their customer service is horrible and betting they won't come through with a replacement. Since they aren't willing to exchange the figure I am stuck with it for now. Is there anywhere else I could look for assistance?

Mine has been in preparation since the 25th and just shipped this morning.
-
Very nice! I am still waiting on Nippon Yasan to ship my copy. They are so slow.
-
I am happy they announced the exclusive edition before the regular version was released. I do not two copies and prefer the black/white costume.
-
WOW! This is the standard that every company should be held to. Thank you for addressing the concerns and posting a response to the fans! You have earn a loyal customer and look forward to all future announcements. Out of curiosity, how did you find this forum? I know the title is self explanatory but what made you look search it out instead of just sending an email to the people that pre-ordered? Hope you guys continue to post on our boards!

Hard to say no with huge gatling guns.

Damn did HLJ go fast
-
Did HLJ take away the advanced search option?
-
I am not seeing anything
-
Managed to get one from AE. Is HLJ up?
-
Excited to get this soon! Hopefully NY does not take a week to ship it out. Going to need another detolf just for the various metal build Exias.

I am expecting the PO for Japanese ehops will sell out in 5 seconds flat and US customers will have to wait for US ehops. Pre-orders on BBTS, USA gundam store, etc. tend to last a little longer. Plus I think there are more options for US ehops. Still going to try my best to get a copy. I wonder how far Bandai is going to take the EVA Metal Build line. Unit 00 is a given, plus it has two different paint schemes they can use. Unit 03 and 04 (TV versions) seem like good choices for P-Bandai. But will we see Unit 05, the Mark 08 and any other movie specific EVAs? Unit 13 would be crazy to see as a Metal Build and I am up for any of them.

I second that! I would love to see a Noir or an IWSP pack.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

BBTS and US retailers usually get metal builds so it is possible. But the price would be a solid $1K. -
Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
General Rasp replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hopefully Bandai will be putting out a PG Nu Gundam this year or next. The Metal Structure looks awesome but can't do $1,000. Plus that was a dick move selling the funnels separately. That makes no sense because the asymmetrical fin funnels are a key component of the suit. A heavy weapon system as P-Bandai makes more sense. Congarts to those who got a copy. I can see it being a one-off holy grail or they will make a Sazabi to go with it. -
Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
General Rasp replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It is tempting to get. It isn't offend you can buy a gold plated gundam figure -
Just put in a order for two packs with no pre-orders for the VF-1. This seems backwards.
-
Holy Macaroni!
-
It is going to suck trying to pre-order Eva 02. Any guesses what the 6.17 is supposed to be?

I have to watch the movie again and decide how many packs I want. Definitely two for Hikaru and Roy. But I don't remember Max using the packs in the movie, only in the TV series. And I don't remember the whole skull squadron in the movie with packs either. Personally I going toward DYRL for Hikaru and Roy, and TV for Max and Milia. Then calling it good after that. And to add my two cents to the "buy now or wait" discussion, I imagine Bandai re-releasing variants. At roughly $190 per figure they are priced to sell. Plus the different variations of the VF-1 are heads and paint. Most of the tampo would be the same also. With the exception of the brownies they could easily re-release the current figures later on. It might be three or five years from now, but they could do it. If they re-released SOC Voltron what is stopping them from re-releasing VF-1. With a basebody the makes up 90% of the VF-1 and all three figure selling out, they are printing money at this point.
