Nice! I ended up going with Anime-Export since there is zero chance I will secure one from Amazon JP or HLJ. -

And pre-ordered from NY. Looking forward to build the TF-6 again, that was a fun and interesting build.

Sample review of the Metal Build Crossbone X-1. http://blog.livedoor.jp/tamashii_robot/27713247201919 It looks amazing! Really hoping I can get a copy from Amazon Japan with two day shipping. -

The release data is 1/26/2018. The wait for these metal builds is horrible. https://tamashii.jp/item/12725/

A quality delivery from HLJ. I love the DX VF-1J and Sentinel Getter 1. I honestly prefer the Bandai DX over Arcadia's 1/60 and will be replacing them as Bandai releases more.

If anyone needs a PO for the Metal Robot Destiny Gundam HLJ has some again: https://hlj.com/metal-robot-damashii-side-ms-destiny-gundam-bans55382

For the last couple of non P-Bandai releases, were the Metal Builds available from Amazon Japan on release day?
-
I am ready for the Crossbone X-1! I missed out on the pre-order because of HLJ new website. Hopefully they will have a few extra when it is released but I have a PO with BBTS just in case. Going through Nippon Yasan with their mark-up price and shipping would suck. I am very curious if the cloth cope will be good quality like Sentinel's or the cheap stuff.

They remind me of the old MSIA line from the 90s. You could find those in US toy stores. Maybe we will see these in stores? -
Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
General Rasp replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
After getting a few of the Robot Spirits ANIME line I can say they are much better quality and engineering from 5 years ago. Based on the pictures it looks like the Gundam Universe line will be the new entry level action figures for kids. The ANIME releases have a plethora of option and effects parts for dioramas or scenes from the series. Those are more for teen and adult collectors. -
I wanted a PO for Destiny also even though I am not a fan of the series. I like the suit design and I already have the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice in the metal robot damashii line. Having the trio will fill out a display nicely. And like Alex GS said, they are much cheaper than the Metal Builds. The only suits I purchase from the metal build line are ones I really like. Which has been all of them except for the Freedom and Strike Freedom. Maybe Bandai is also limiting their production for MRD. They are available after release date but a week or two later are out of stock. Producing niche suits in this line like ones from Sentinel seems like a good idea. Small production run and higher quality for people that like a specific design. Plus it separates itself from the regular robot damashii line. I hoping to see the Zeta C1 Plus Hummingbirds in the MRD line at some point.

Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002
General Rasp replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The new Destiny is Metal Robot Damashii and is closer to 1/144 verse Metal Build which is 1/100 scale. I am not surprised that they are doing another Destiny since Bandai already released the Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice in this line. Hopefully that will be the last of the Seed suits for this line so we can get more Sentinel designs. -
Let us know what you think. I was interested also for the axe and scythe heads. If the materials are good and the paint matches I will definitely pick up a set.

The robot damashii FAZZ units don't have die cast joints right? It is a shame there are so much, i would love to get three copies. Does have a copy? Are the stable or do they turn into a floppy mess?

@Ridden001 Very Nice! @CF18 Love the Gundam Sentinel display. What risers are you using? I want to do something like that with my shelf.

Got a awesome shipment from HLJ, its like Christmas! Super excited to get the two Hy-Goggs open, I love the 0080 suits. Can't wait for the full armor and Kampfer. Plus my Black Friday purchase from The Chosen Prime came in. This Megatron is huge and heavy. Below picture for scale.

Neon Genesis EVANGELION General Thread
General Rasp replied to no3Ljm's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Very excited to re-watch this series. I have the DVDs but the blu rays were never available in the states. And once the rebuild movies were made that was all they were making. The first time I watched the series was on rented DVDs from Netflix. When Netflix was just a DVD rental service, and now the circle continues with re-watching the series streaming HD. -
No problem guys!

More pre-orders at HLJ. https://hlj.com/hi-metal-r-vf-4-lightning-iii-bans55381

Finally! My shipment has arrived from NY! Metal Robot Spirits S Gundam, big damn box. Extra Shield Boosters and three Hrududu sets Plus the Hi-Nu Metal Robot from eBay.

Can not wait for the Hy-gogg to be released next month. My PW at HLJ is waiting for my two pre-orders to arrive. I looks like they setup a huge display of the Robot Spirits at the show but there haven't been a ton of pictures posted.
