    What a bummer....

    That is not a bad price before the international shipping. I am going to have to try From Japan. I pre-ordered through Big in Japan and the shipping for EMS or FedEx was 4,050 yen.

    Big in Japan has pre-orders for the 2nd batch. https://www.biginjap.com/en/completed-models/19881-metal-build-gundam-astraea-type-f-gn-heavy-weapon-set.html FYI, shipping to Michigan was 4,050 yen through FedEx or EMS. These metal build just kept getting more expensive to get.

    Out of curiosity, has anyone had a problem cancelling an order with Big in Japan?

    I am holding out for Nippon-Yasan since I waited too long with BiginJapan. I would have jumped sooner on Big in Japan, had I known CD Japan was over $300. If there is enough demand they might do a re-issue similar to the Metal Build Heine Destiny.

    http://tamashii.jp/special/metalbuild/astraea/?wovn=en Well the Metal Build Astraea is on the "I MUST BUY IT!" list. I was interested in getting it when Bandai made the announcement a couple of months ago but wasn't completely sold. In the manga the suit gradually gains more equipment which is a key part in story and makes this Gundam special. Since Bandai is including every single piece from the manga plus some (I don't remember if the suit having four shields or two proto-GN Swords) I am definitely pre-ordering it. Bandai made the right move waiting two or three years to release this figure and did not release the different weapons as "sets". It is always appreciated when Bandai does not hold back on the accessorizes for these expensive figures. The number of different options and no worrying of "will there be other weapon sets later or reissues that includes different weapons" makes the price worth it. This is going to be another Metal Build figure that I am really looking forward to.

    Nice!!

    That is fair. I have gone through Nippon Yasan which isn't bad, but I hate paying for their shipping. The proxy sites aren't bad either but extra fees suck.

    Stupid web exclusives, gotta make things difficult. Probably still going to buy it.

    It is probably a really good thing the stores in my area don't sell these, I would be so broke. Just walk in a store and see Arcadia and Hi-Metal figures, I would have no will power.
  11. General Rasp
    Awesome news!
  12. General Rasp
    Something would be nice . Even a post saying sorry again for the delay.

    Just got these guys in! I feel the $38 FedEx shipping from HLJ was a little high considering the size of the box. I got them in 4 days but $30 - $35 seems more reasonable. The destroids are like shots, the more you have the better things get!

    I believe you are thinking of Houquet, she had a bazooka-ish weapon. I remember Ray using the small pistol. I wonder if they will be able to pull off Yellow's armor with the missile bays in the front. Pre-ordered at HLJ!! Two down, two to go.
  15. General Rasp
    Same here, I have about 10-12 pre-orders coming out in the next three months and none of them are cheap. I cancelled my pre-order for Re:edit Iron Man House of M armor since I will probably find it later, maybe a discount price if lucky.
  16. General Rasp
    It looks really good but way too expensive after the extra fees and shipping. I hope the do the VF-31A in the Hi-Metal R, after they have finished all of the mecha from the original. I would love to have three of the VF-31A as a small squad in that scale.

    I am just happy they decided to re-release Max and Milia. There is no way I would pay the second-hand market prices. The delay sucks but better that instead of a $200 toy with quality control issues. I do wonder if this will delay the release of the SDF-1 and Max.
  18. General Rasp
    Thanks!!
  19. General Rasp
    Sweet you got the Hi-Metal Xabungle! What do you think? Lol, that a lot HLJ packages to come in. So I wasn't the only one waiting for Milia to be release and ran out of days with the PW? I will make sure to add mine to the thread when it comes in later this.

    B2five is the company producing the 1:28 line and there website mentioned that they will have other toy brands in the future. https://b2fiveshop.com/pages/about-us The Acid Rain line was always interesting but expensive. The 1:28 look really to actually play with and wouldn't take up alot of space. They remind me of Takara's diaclone reboot with everything is design to be played with. I haven't had any paint issues with my diaclones despite the numerous transformations. I am hoping b2five is the same and keeps going.
  21. General Rasp
    Yeah, I shipped my private warehouse today. My two defenders and SOC Mazinkaiser had another 10 days before the 60 limit. I seriously doubt Milia is going to be release the first week in October. I am getting a few things in November so she can ship with them.

    Is that the Sentinel figure? That has ridiculously good balance. I would buy the whole team if they did them. When is the next time Mospeada toys will be released? And at this quality, assuming it is as good as it looks. I can imagine Sentinel releasing the dark ride armors as convention exclusives, that has been a trend with them. I bet they will do it with their Riobot Shin Getter.
  23. General Rasp
    The 1:28 scale guys look really fun. I am very tempted to buy a few.
  24. General Rasp
    Same, I pre-ordered one at BBTS just in case I can't get one at HLJ. I imagine that the import stores will have it for slightly cheaper since BBTS has to pay for import shipping on top of the figure. Really odd though that they have a listing up already, I wonder if they have a good relationship with Sentinel and that is why the price is fair and the pre-order is up already. The figure looks so good and I hope Sentinel does a good job with the cloth suit and transformation. I heard/read the dino getters weren't great because nothing locked in for transformation. I hope that isn't the case for this and it is rock solid in both modes.

    The see-through canopies will be a P-Bandai option set after all the VF-31 are released
