I’ve used it in both metal and plastic. In my opinion it works faster on plastic , metal joints take more coats. It’s a liquid that just coats the joint and dries leaving a residue. Depending on the joint it could require multiple applications. It’s also fairly messy so be prepared to wipe down excess as you go along

Where is that link/thread about how to order from there ? Buyee app kinda sucks -
They’ll do the PO with the Strike Rouge backpack first then the following month they will PO the Grand Slam as an alternative strike item. Per Bandais usual MO

DO you work for Eknightmedia? Ive never heard of them until this interesting first post

Im in the "Missed Out" boat. Tried 4 different sites and didnt make it to check out before it was sold out

I bought it from them this go around and my turn around time wasnt too bad. I ordered on launch day and it arrived today. The version I got was on par with the quality of the Hayate VF31 Kairos . The cockpit gap , shoulder area was off and one of the guns is pointed down pretty bad. Paint was pretty good tho but I will say Bandai QC is slipping..... hard

Bandai has figured it out. They know most macross/gundam folk are in the same category as the Star Wars/Transformers nerds. You can sell them trash and they will keep coming back and buying it because "Nostalgia". I hate to say it but the VF-25 & Frontier line up was a perfect example of that between the weak joints, poor paint and instant yellowing.

my shipping costs on average have only gone up about $2-5 so its not as bad as you may believe it to be When I order the VF-31s I was paying anywhere from $30-35 and now im paying anywhere from $35-40

LOL BBTS is always 2-3 months behind the curve with their deliveries

https://sugotoys.com.au/product/bandai-metal-structure-1-60-figure-tamashi-nation-2020/ If any of you want to try your luck with the Luna Park of Australia , here is a link to their order. Just be warned their Price Match Guarentee is a load of crock, the make every excuse not to honor it. They let you join a pre order list to their saving grace
-
Nah, I moved from CA to TX and it only cost more because of all the firearms I could buy. Otherwise it was significantly more cost effective.
-
Easy ! Move out of California

Im like 90% sure I will sell it , just remind me when it re releases. I have doubles/triples of accessory items that i swear im going to display but I never do. I also do the carlsylar then where i buy multiple figures for accessories and im running out of real estate fast since an unnamed member here got me into 1/48 Bandai Valks
-
Only pre order Metal Build Gundams in that range are those junk exia re releases. Everything else is 250 or higher normally. The cannon is also a Girthy SOB so it commands a premium 😁

If P Bandai would do the MS Sazabi I would be golden for the rest of the year.

How does this work in US? Every time I try to log in it takes me to the "Language Selection" page and then it goes to the main page

Keep us updated if they actually honor the price or if they give you some excuse and ask for more money

This board has been very helpful on keeping me up to date with pre orders on both the Macross and Metal Build side. Its both. Scalpers took advantage and Bandai is polishing the same frames with different colors , selling accessories separate and delivering poor QC on their figures only to resell an update version later. Dont even get me started on all the Strike GTX & Accessories they keep milking.

I dont know if you guys have seen this BS , but Luna Park is already price gouging. Check this out ... $3K ... I hope you guys see this and remember it next time you decide to pre order from them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/225093440690?hash=item34689d54b2:g:9XsAAOSw2v9i4nHY

Looks like 360 is out. If i can secure 2 pre orders then Ill PM you and we will get this sorted out. Because MS Sazabi is going to be priority when it comes to pre orders this month.

I want the new Shield not but not enough to pay an option part that I don't need for it. I agree BBTS will pull something funky. I usually save them as a last resort , not a big fan of their price gouging and extra long wait times. Do you potentially want to split a set of option parts? Was going to buy 2 for dual cannons so I may not have a need for second shield
-
Nah dont get him into Macross , it aint a cheap hobby. 😅
-
$1400 is going to put the hurt on the credit card id like to see BBTS honor their $4 flat shipping on this
