If anyone wants another MB Strike for these striker packs, I would recommend finding the Metal Kingdom KO, which normally can be found for around $120 these days

Those Metal Kingdom Strikes are now about $150-170 these days. They even have a KO strike rouge now and a KO Metal Kingdom strike with a sword and blaster

Strike rouge

Strike + Aile + Blaster + Sword

New Strike Rouge 1/72 KO . Looks cool but could be as bad as the regular strike.

Here is a video review

Mine easily pop off. Just one nozzle, the bigger one with ball joint. The rest are fine. 

Get the "Fix Loose Joints" by Kiki on ebay. The legit stuff works and saves your from sanding/filling joints. The mystery black bottle with no logo is a waste of money. I just recently had to use this stuff on my KO MB Gundam Wing and my MB EVA 01

P bandai looks like it has a place holder for chogokin statues figure

Yeah if I remember correctly for now it's a Fukuoka exclusive, but eventually they might release it through P Bandai just like the Yokohama one... Regardless I'm not buying it at that kind of price. The MSRP is basically 200 usd. 

If its anything liek the last two, it will by hyped at first and then settle down between $240 - $275. I bought the first RX78 to drop for $350 because hype. 8-9 months later when there were more on the market it was sitting sub $300. WIth the current Gundam market Im sure we will see more of these in circulation at a later time.

Wow. 

Now it seems like it's cheaper to get it from LunaPark for Y39800.

 

yeah but you get it sent to  you in a plastic envelope because of their new shipping practices.

Does anyone know the day when the X-0 Full Cloth will be released in June? 

I have a preorder with Luna Park and I think I need to poke them a bit once the toy gets released in order to have it shipped.

Its scheduled for release 06/30 so realistically they will start hitting vendors the following week or two. 

Am I behind the times? WHen did that white GFFMC Zaku get released?

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

Tag for later

@LUNA PARK has been getting some heat lately. I wonder if Meghan and Patricia have a new video in the works to help calm the nerves of high strung Macross fans. 😁

LP receives heat on the regular for their questionable business practices but people still flock to them. LP hasnt also posted any videos of quality in months

Have you guys seen the 1/72 KO version of Deathscythe yet? Its a spin off of the Endless Waltz version

https://showzstore.com/pre-order-lihua-1-72-xxxg-01d-gundam-deathscythe-hell-endless-waltz-ver-metal-build_p0964.html

Nin Nin sent me mine on Friday. QC issues were still present but nowhere near as bad as Hayate. Guns did not point down , arms were more tucked into the wings and only one panel was out of place. The big issue mine had was the wing tabs wont fit into the legs but ill cut those down later. 

Thanks for posting up the links to deathscythe. I normally dont step into the MRS line ups but this might be an exception

I was able to get my hands on one of these NIB. Not because I want it but it goes with my DLX Optimus Shattered Glass

I was considering it, but I haven't seen it in stock since the initial preorder window closed (except for inflated prices at BBTS).  Honestly it's pretty nice looking and I'd be tempted to purchase it at its original price.  I don't think it releases til near the end of the year though.

only site left that i could find that isnt over $500. Its going to be steep everywhere because i believe its an officially licensed Bandai Namco product 

Out of curiosity , did anyone order that Bandai (ish) RX 78 vs Zaku statue?

I dont know if its kosher in this thread so I didnt post a link to it

Congrats @jvmacross.  That’s a good price.  Unfortunately for me they’re in California so after tax it comes out close to how much Toy Dojo or The Chosen Prime will charge with free shipping and no tax.  I’ve never heard of them before but hope everything works out for you.

Yep preordered 1 at Toy Dojo.  I’ll order another one at The Chosen Prime when they list it and use my accumulated discount on it.

Toy Dojo is a legit seller , I have ordered a few metal builds from them as well as a Metal Club Kshatriya. The only time they piss me off is when I have to visit their store in Austin.

BBTS has it for $249.99. In which if you live in CA, you'll end up paying US$276+/- that includes CA tax and shipping.

I live in TX and they still have like an 8% tax

The guns will sit straight if you don't tab them in all the way.

Man, even I don't wear gloves when I handle my valkyries.

Blasphemy !!!!

@Kurosawa Is that old school gundam poster up for grabs?

Interested in the VF-31S armor Parts. Any idea if there is an issue fitting them to a VF-31J Kai?

They fit , I put them on the orange 03 plane for s***s and giggles 

When does this list get updated? Ive been mention a few times in here with no update... Do I have to PM OP?

Super glad I bought 2 of the GFFMC Wing Gundams after seeing the reviews. Downside is I bought them from P Bandai so with their delays Ill see them in August probably 

GUndamnit stealthily dropped a Strike Rouge KO with Ootori backpack

I thought the quality of Kshatriya from MC is a tad better than SL, but I have never seen it myself though. I only have the MC (both red and green) because of that info I heard.

The MC were cool but they were small and didnt do the Kshatriya justice as it was a big frame in the anime. Steel Legends did it more justice and the extra fin funnel kit + Booster Kit was a pretty slick add on too.

What a relief to see LP taking ownership and making it right for their customer. I hope they see that had they packaged better in a proper shipping box in the first place, none of this back and forth wasting everyone’s valuable time and money would’ve been necessary. Well it’s a process I suppose, I am hopeful LP will pull through.

They only did so because they were getting backlash in multiple sections in this place and on other forums. They realized their solution of paying an extra monthly subscription for better shipping wasnt working in their favor.

Do we expect Bogue to be free of the QC issues present on Hayate?

Unlikely as of now. Bandai will just print them and tell us to pound sand. If you notice the pics that are available are really good about hiding the undercarriage where the issues are.
