Trying to pre-order Scarlet Spider from HLJ but their site is having problems. I can't add anything to the cart.

Well played Bandai, I will finally end up getting a Metal Build Strike for the IWSP pack.

It is a bummer that the Kamakura figure is $34. I would have liked a green ninja but $34 is a bit much for a single figure. I did pre-order the blue set. I like the alternate heads.

P-Bandai is not going to open up POs. This is being brought over as a regular release here in the US even though its still limited production. Similar to how most of the web exclusive Monsterarts come to the US as regular releases.

Other shops that have it up for PO:

Thanks for the clarification! That is a hell of a marked up for the US from 27,000 yen to $340. 

BBTS has the Metal Build Guren SEITEN for $340 with $51 NRD. I am still hoping P-Bandai will open up pre-orders.

You guys seen the new HLJ site?

https://www.hlj.com

I am not sure what to make of the new site. Its like they took a template from Ami Ami and applied it to HLJ. 

Glad to see the nose cone doesn't look bad in the above pictures. Should be fine on a display shelf.

SO did this thing not drop or did I miss PO ? Both P bandai and Nin Nin dont show it in stock. LP can suck it before anyone mentions that name

It hasn't dropped at P Bandai US yet. Hopefully we will see it next week.

I hope we see pre-order for the Metal Build Guren S.E.I.T.E.N. on P-bandai US.

Woot!! Robot Spirits Ez-8 coming out this year! I am going to need to get another Ground Gundam to form the squad.

So it looks like it will be a P-Bandai item and pre-orders should be going up this week

New promotion pictures of Robot Spirits Gundam Aerial.

Hopefully this bring back Macross to HMR and we can get those figures teased so long ago. I will pre-order a copy to show my support of Macross HMR and help Bandai make the right decision, manufacturing the Tomahawk.

Yes !  , will preorder 

Same here! 

I am in for Deathscythe and the other upcoming figures. I wonder if Bandai is going to release the other Gundams from Wing through P-Bandai instead of regular release. 

YES! YES! YES! 

Looking good! Hopefully the joints aren't loose and this is a solid start to worldwide Macross sales.

I doubt they will do the whole series. But I will do welcome a full 8 parts of 40mins OVA format if they do it.

I wouldn’t mind something like that as well, but maybe 12 episodes. I feel like that should give enough room to cover the series and trim the fluff while also adding some cool stuff that didn’t get into the movie cuts. Like the gyan fight, just so I can get another damn cool gyan kit along with a nice origin style gelgoog 

A series of OVAs would be great. As long as they did enough to tell the story correctly and didn't rush anything. 

So how long until they redo the whole original series in Origin format? It would be nice to see the original series with better animation but keep the same story. 

Got mine pre-ordered at The Chosen Prime. $250 with no NRD and free shipping. 

Put my order in for one set of MRS Hrududu parts. 

I am loving the Hrududu set, especially that it comes with two units. Thank you Bandai for making it a complete set And I am SO HYPE for the MRS Woundwort! That is absolutely amazing that we are getting a figure of that suit. Can't wait to see more pictures.

I see. In terms of deathscythe design, i still prefer the endless waltz ver cos it is like the devil advocate itself 

I would love to see the Endless Waltz versions of the other Gundams in GFFMC format. If Bandai can use the existing Wing frame for Deathscythe it is only a matter of time before we see the Endless Waltz ver. 

I think I skip JP PO and go with BBTS or The Chosen Prime.

Are we still guessing that pre-orders will be available on US sites?
