I got carried away with sharing online videos of the Sazabi unboxing, this will be my last post sharing videos.  As the product is getting released to the public more and more videos will come out and one can simply go on youtube or bilibili, search by Sazabi and sort by upload date.

 

This last video I'm going to share is informative, it has a lot of tips on how to flip the panels etc. so as not to scratch or break the toy.  But most importantly he pointed out a defect that the head light won't light up; so for anyone getting the Sazabi please make sure to test it out.

 

Please continue to share! Is this you in the video?

Just pick the ones you like. That's what I did.  

That’s the problem. Metal robot has the variety. Metal build/GFFMC has the size. I want the variety in 1/100 scale

Damnit. Am I going to have to start collecting metal robots now?!  I missed so many great UC, Wing, and Seed Gundams so far…

They're absolutely killing it with the Metal Robot line with all these UC and Wing releases. I just wish they gave the same kind of attention to the MFFC and Metal Build lines instead of releasing the same mold over and over with tiny changes to colors, decals, and an exclusive accessory. It's getting old.

Perfect. Thanks for the link! I'm grateful Macross items aren't nearly as popular in the US.

The non-scale chogokin Nu Gundam ff version is on p-Bandai US Site for $250

Is my mind playing tricks on me, or did they remold the complete lower legs to make them more slender?

You're right. The entire waist down looks to be completely remolded.

I wonder if this is some kind expansion or evolution to the 30 minute mission gunpla line. Seems like a lot of elements are re-used like Lego and just painted over to look like the mecha of choice. Looks interesting and fun. 

Yes. Thanks @DYRL VF-1S! Smooth and easy transaction.

This is depressing.. Hopefully the demand for this thing is so high that they consider another production run like they do with a lot of their TWE items.

So far so good. Everything is there. No manual though. Need to figure out which Bluetooth it is so I can start playing some Macross stuff. 

Glad you got a good one! We're one for three here. If I can't get that Metal Structure Sazabi I might just buy this as a consolation prize.

Is this legit? Saw it on tweeter but not yet on HobbtDengeki, Inask, or Taghobby…

That was an April Fool's joke. A pretty good one at that but as the poster above me stated, Feb 29 isn't a real day and not a leap year.

Man.. was so close.. disappeared at place order.

The MS Nu was offered by Bluefin and there was availability on toy dojo and bbts. I was able to acquire one at bbts and one was available for several months at toy dojo at a mark up after initial sale. 
 

However, the funnels were tws exclusives.

Hopefully tomorrow I get to air it out. Yes definitely checking to see if everything fits and not broken. If anything is a miss, I’m covered. 

Where did you buy it from if you don't mind my asking?

Took a shot at it. 

Make sure you open and and see if all the parts go together. I bought this a few years ago and one of the main cannons was broken and I couldn't even put the thing together because nothing fit right. 

- Right cannon broken out of box

- left arm wouldn't peg in

- right leg wouldn't peg in so statue wouldn't light up.

I'm tempted to try again but I'm very nervous about it.

My experience here:

I also compared the weight of the Bandai DX and Voltron in case anyone was interested.

Voltron: 5 lbs 0.4oz

Voltes V: 3 lbs 4.2oz

Combattler: 3 lbs 9.8oz

Just got my Blitzway Voltron! So far, I haven't seen any QC issues on mine. No breaks or cracks. Hope others have the same experience!

Looks like they will also re-release the Nu based on the teaser at the very end of the video.

whos gonna drop the Hi Nu pics first? Im debating on canceling me second order since its got the purple polka dot cancer

@carlsylar already has his and I’m 99% sure he has pics ready to post. He’s just not allowed to post anything until after July 30th. 

On the other hand I have mixed feelings about who's bringing this to market. I loathe Toynami, am indifferent about Harmony Gold, but MoShow kicks ass. It will be interesting how this plays out.

Anyone saw this? It looks like they tried to copy Sentinel's idea, but looks much worst

I like the modern take.  It's also larger at 9.5-10inches tall. I'm in if the quality is good and is more durable than Sentinel's.
