  1. Thats a very good point , forgot about all the reboots of the Metal Build Destiny. The Soul Red was a good redemption but 2 other reboots and an ugly *** Heine custom :vomit
  2. Bandai is too busy milking the **** out of the Metal Build Franchise. If you really look they just keep re releasing Exias , Astraeas , Strike Freedoms and Raisers. The F91 re release was trash and so was the White/Gold Frame astrays. They have been rebooting the poor Exia frame for how F***ing long and it still has hip/shoulder issues in 2021? This BS is happening because of the Star Wars/Transformers community. All they do is re release a character with a small color change or different box and all the fanboys are trying to shove a pre order down their throat. Then it came over to the Macross community with all the revivals/revisions/re releases. So unless more people voice their opinion we are going to keep getting these **** re releases. This is coming from a devout Metal Build addict too. At the same time Im also pissed that this is going to be the 5th release of that Red Frame. Can we have Nu , Justice or any of the other teased Metal Builds? *puts alcohol down , turns off rant*
  3. I just moved into a new house and am still in the process of setting up the man cave. I dont have a wide closet in that room , narrow as seen. It was a matter of getting everything out of storage and into the closet. I also have 2 Dynames on pre order waiting to take up more space lol and maybe a Metal Club Kshatriya Funnel kit . My collection is probably just as bad ( if not worse) than that Carslayr guy. I also have the KO Inactive Strike & Destiny in there somewhere and a Green Metal Club Strike
  4. Those bastards are releasing a Gundam Wing MS Mode !?!?!? Talk about milking the franchise. They could have picked anything else from the Wing series to reboot but they picked this ?!?!?! I’m still waiting on a Metal Build or GFFMC Heavy Arms , Death Scythe or Epion …. F*** me right …. It’s cool I’ll just toss into the collection closet
  5. If you want the backpack but not the strike I would be willing to buy the figure off you at a later time. I just realized I ordered a second gen aile strike pack and all my MB strikes are used up currently
  6. The same way they played the Metal Build Strike and the Metal Build Strike Infinite? Then they sold all those F***ing accessories after that. I bought 2 strikes at lauch w/ jet packs , then 2 infinite strikes (no jet pack) then I said F it and got 3 of the bootleg strike gundams from Show Z store which were pretty decent for being $100 each. Probably going to order 2 Strike Rouges here before the price goes up to $500 after release On a side note , the Metal Build Alternative Strike series still has yet to release Loenghorne Launcher ( i think thats how its spelled) and the Grand Slam Sword both of which were teased at a show but not yet released. So for those wanting a Grand Slam for the Rouge and Strike , its on the way but date is TBA
  7. Nin Nin was $34 more expensive but they shipped much much faster. I have just about every metal build in the collection ( Aside from Exia Avalance and Trans Am Riser) and most of my collection has always come from Nin Nin Game. The only time I had an issue was with my VF-31 ARAD Super Parts , they needed $12 more since they estimated shipping wrong. The $34 difference was total after everything. Nin Nin > No tax but higher shipping , usually EMS P Bandai > Tax but cheaper shipping. I wouldnt use P bandai again unless they were the only ones left, they werent bad, I am just impatient
  8. Where did you get this display and do you think it will fit the factory diorama for the Nu ? I ask because I am also one of the people that Pre ordered 1 x Metal Structure 2x Fin FUnnels and 2x Londo Bell sets ( F*** the haters ) . I have no place to display it due to its size and how I dont want it covered in dust.
  9. P bandai takes forever to ship and they charge tax. I ordered 2 Metal Build Full Cloths on the day they released ( One of my fav gundams) The Nin Nin order shipped when they first released. THe P bandai ordered shipped 4 months later. The price difference was $34 or something of the like. P bandai delivers but be warned there is a delay
  10. Those guys are sketchy , they got over on me for $750 on the last Metal Structure Fin Funnel pre order. They wont ship for 90 days so you cant leave feedback on them via ebay. In my case I was charged and the item never shipped . I tried reaching out to them multiple times to which they politely told me to pound sand. I was unable to use Ebay or Paypal claims service as the item went beyond the protection window. They also scrub their youtube comments to get rid of the hate. If you want to gamble away $1500 thats on you guys.
  11. The Crossbone gundams / Crossbone Vanguard have always been my favs in the manga. What pisses me off is that I just ordered 2 of the Full Clothes and now they may release that beautiful blue X 3 and Im going to have two order 2 more .... after i just ordered 2 of the dynames !!?!?!?! I dont know if my wallet can handle this years beating. The metal structure sazabi is coming out this year , the MB justice and the MB Nu . Im sure the Nu is going to have its own set of accessories available after its initial release and Justice will probably have an available Jabber for after release.
  12. Depending on the figure sometimes these are released in multiple batches. So first batch could be sold out as of Friday and now we are selling Batch 2
  13. you are my hero !!! I was just about to order Two of them from Nin Nin Game @ $360 shipped each. BBTS came out to $290 with 4 day shipping! how do i give you rep ??
  14. https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/metal-build/45671-metal-build-gundam-dunames-repair-iii-bandai-.html ebay has a few as well. Lowest I saw was $357 shipped but ebay wants tax these days
  15. id be weary about buying from these cocksuckers. They fleeced me on the Metal Structure Fin Funnels (two sets). The only reason they have good feedback on ebay is because they wait for you to go past the feedback window before shipping. So IF you get your product its too late to leave feedback or file a dispute. The other tactic they play is you think youve paid your item off up front but 7 months later when it comes time to ship they "miscalculated" and will require additional fees ( $22 in my case) before shipping. I ordered Two sets of fin funnels and a Metal Build Exia from them and struck out each time. They can forcefully inhale flaming horse genitalia of the veiny type.
  16. The Yokohama gundam is more metal build style with a metal frame and light up gimmick. The exterior detail is average and sub par when compared to metal builds, the poses and range of motion are also decreased. The regular RX-78 was not created in Metal Build but in GUndam Fix Figuration Metal Composite which in general is a line of crap gundams aside from the wing zeros. The GFFMC line is prone to weak joints and mediocre detail. In the GFFMC line I have bought the RX78 , Red Zaku , Both Wing Gundams and Two of the unicorn gundams. I only kept the Wing gundams because the quality was good compared to the others which were mediocre at best. Between the two I would buy the Yokohama gundam for the light up gimmick and limited edition factor. Otherwise I dont buy anything from the GFFMC line
  17. I look at these earlier this year. The options are cool but the rumor has it that it will only be sold in Japan. So per the usual us Americans will have to pay an "import tax" per say to get our hands on it. Hopefully they dont release the parts seperately over time. The real question is are these going to be limited edition/limited production type thing? If so I may bite down and get one now rather than later if/when it reaches 500-600
