GFF metal composite gundam wing

Bandai japan 3rd batch started today.
Release will be in 05/2018

http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000117922/?utm_source=tw&utm_medium=tw

How can you order this as a US customer?

will it appear in the US p-bandai site?

I'm in need of one as well if anyone has an extra or no longer wants theirs

Damn I should have just placed an order. 

For the US P Bandai site, I notice that there is a deadline to order. But do they have limited availability? Wondering if I should preorder one now or wait next month. Short on funds for this month

Where can we preorder this since it's a web exclusive? Only NY?

Wow that is messed up!

Now I am concerned as I have quite a bit of items on preorder with them.

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I only own Metal Builds so I was curious to know more about the GFFMC line with the new Wing Zero being revealed. I'll be ordering it when it comes out on preorder but just wanted some insight on what I would be getting myself into haha. 

What are people's opinions about the quality of a GFF Metal Composite gundam?

Do you prefer them over the Metal Build gundam line?

Does anyone know if Bandai will be producing a SOC Shin Getter 1 in the near future? Do not really see any in the market.

Debating if it's worth getting the Red Frame Kai figure/set. Already have the Tactical Arms & Tiger Pierce options set on preorder at a Japanese site and have the original Red Frame and Flight Unit. 

Although I prefer the look of the new Red Frame Kai figure over its original, don't see it being worth to have both. Now if it was a blue Frame kai then I may have no choice haha

It looks like shipping will cost $33 per package and will ship via FedEx. If that's a pretty set price then best to order a lot of items at once.

That is through their proxy shopping service. So cdjapan doesn't actually have it.

Thanks for the update everyone!

Thanks Brannon for the notice! Just ordered one and cancelled bbts. Finally getting the F91 that I have been waiting for!

Has anyone received notification from bbts in regards to the MB F91 Gundam coming in?

Their website says it will come in April but no exact date. Just anxiously waiting for it to come.

made a quick guide on how to change on the fly.

With paypal's conversion it's $152.90 (with their conversion rate, wink ,wink)

with own Visa Credit Card (zero foreign transaction fee)  it's $148.16

$4.74 differences.  which is around 3.2% extra that you could save by using a Credit Card (zero foreign transaction fee)

The saving add up quick.

 

Wow I never knew you could choose to take the cc's conversion rate over PayPal's!!!  

could have been saving so much. Dang you PayPal with your rip off conversion rates!!!

VF-31F Messer is up at NY. Not too bad of a markup.

Their PW is one of the best because there is essentially no limit on how long they store things for you. All your purchases are in your account until you decide which ones to ship. 

Thanks Slave for the update. 

If I requested a shipping estimate already, do I have to pay right away or am I allowed to pay any time I wish?

I can understand that I can not request to combine my order with other items after requesting shipping estimates. Just curious if there is a timeline I have to send payment

Just received notice from AE that they now have the VF-31F in stock. 

Do they have a PW system just like HLJ?

I have actually only been collecting figures within the past 2 years. Just like other fellow MW members, it all started with a trip to Japan and discovering all of the awesome figures that I had no idea were available in the market. I bought my first figures while I was in Japan and lucky for me, the prices were relatively reasonable for aftermarket and sealed figures.

Once I returned back home, I began to frantically search for other figures I wanted and needed to complete the sets that I started. I regret doing that as I paid too much for some figures which I later found at better prices at Japanese sites like HLJ/NY/AmiAmi and second hand stores like Mandarake/Jungle.

I have learned that the best way of collecting (and easiest on your wallet) is to be patient and actively look for figures to be on sale for a price that you feel is worth spending. Basically the same advice that everyone else have been providing. 

Does HLJ only accept payments via PayPal or can you pay with a cc directly?

Haha so many of people's comments are so spot on with how I feel towards collecting. 

I am currently in a debate with myself about preordering the VF-31C and hope that the coloring of it turns out darker than the images. I don't mind the red/violet but I much rather have purple. Would like a new color scheme Valkyrie in my collection. 

Hi,

If anyone has an extra Metal Build F91 Gundam that they are willing to sell, please let me know. 

Thank you!

Anyone see any openings of F91 stock in any store?
