Wow, didn't know the MS Sazabi is still available.  Do you have any links for the MS Nu?  I was never able to procure a pre-order and EntertainmentEarth cancelled my pre-order   I still haven't had any luck finding a MS Nu.  Really bummed as I should have just purchased the "original stock" at A-E that was briefly available but I was hoping I could snag a reissue.

I dont. MS Nu has been scarce. Take no chances moving forward. Buy once , cry once

Desthscythe is the only one that really interests me, though I do find the "Astray Rangers" mildly amusing.

Looking at this years show , i think its time for me to either get out completely or severly limit my Metal Build purchase. I realized this with your "Astray Rangers" comment. Bandai is just milking the franchise at this point and its not the same as it was before. I used to look forward to seeing new releases but now its like " oh heres your 4th blue frame astray" or " Here is your 5th release of the Astray backpack " or "Enjoy this 5th release of the 00 Raiser with nothing new other than a color change"

If not....I have some GFFMC Wings , MB red Astrays or MB Strikes I can help you kick start your collection with. Ill even through in a free ThreeZero Shingetter Black for you

Is the Impulse gundam going to be the new Strike /Infinite strike ? Also how many more damn times are they going to release the red frame. This would be the 8th or 9th time 🤯

That new Metal Structure tho 😍 My night vision purchase for 2024 is going to have to wait lol

damn i want to get back into MB now with the impulse,  need to stay disciplined, i sold off 99.9% of my MB's need to hold off.

 

 

Im sure i can talk Chris into selling some of them back to you, i dont think he opened more than a few of them

I stand corrected about the MB GN Arms , looks like its going to be an options set. 

I wonder who over at bandai had the common sense to make this decision

Hacchaka has a comparison picture in the Patchwork review: https://hacchaka.net/archives/52100195.html

According to the auto translate: "X1, X3 and. There is no new part in the main body, and the modeling is diverted from one or the other."

Thanks for the answer , saves me the trouble of buying one lol

Anyone have side by side photos of the MB Crossbone x3 and the MB Crossbone patchwork ? Im trying to see if the colors are the same or slightly different and its hard to tell due to lighting in youtube videos. 

Trying to figure out if its worth buying the patchwork now that its down to $200 ish

I can make it even a little more tempting 😆...  how about $420 for local pickup?

you should sell it for $420.69 😏

If they're actually just releasing the option parts, would you get it so you can convert once in a while to Type-D?

You’re giving the greedy sleezebags at Bandai too much credit. This is going to be a full release , then they will re release the other GN Arms with a slight color change and then maybe they will just sell the conversion parts by themselves

Best guess is it's the GN-Arms Type D Option Parts for Gundam Dynames use.

At this point in time id say that is a conjecture. You see the classic dual barrel design and you can see parts of the Dynames Armor panel. Also , knowing how lazy & greedy bandai get , it would make sense for them to re hash the same product with minor changes. 

Anime Export got another batch of Metal Structure sazabi , its going for $2000 + $400 or so for shipping

And if Bandai will not do it, I hope some third party company will add that option on the existing KO Aile Pack design.  

If only I can do custom work, I already gotten a MG Perfect Strike kit and convert it for MB use. But I'm not. 

You mean something like this?

For anyone that is still looking -> https://kuramatoys.com/metal-build-kampfer-action-figure/.
Pass for me, that's a $40 higher markup compared to AE.

Yep, I have read that too and surprised AE is already out of stock. Hopefully it's just a popularity thing for the Alex and not Bandai cracking down.

Kuramatoys/DenDen Hobby have poor shipping practices just in case anyone is thinking about ordering from them.  They prices are generally higher than most so thats normal for them.

technically Deathscythe Hell was a GFFMC release.

*Looks at Metal Build Laevatein Arbalest Reference +  XL 3 Booster and Metal Build Shin Getter*

The missile pods are usually magnetic and click onto the shoulder shield thing.

Maybe someone can explain, but personally I have never understood this love affair for the Kämpfer. If my memory is not failing me, it featured briefly in one episode and didn't really do anything noteworthy, only to quickly get dispatched by the NT-1?

Well, it does star in one of the best OAV series from the Gundam saga. It takes down an entire GM platoon by itself. Its pilot has more charisma than most of the pilots from the non UC universe. Despite the fact that it has to fight with a far superior MS it is almost able to beat him. So, definitely does not get much screen time but what it does with the time that is given to it well, it's really legendary.

Kampfer also made a few appearances in the Yu Gi Oh of the gundam franchise, Gundam Build Fighters. It even smokes Gundam Legend in the Build Arena . 

Ill probably pick one of these up as well 

GM Sniper vs Kampfer

As expected from Bandai since they're going to re-release Robot Spirits Nightingale with a new paint 'Char's Special Color' scheme. Obviously, they just announced a re-release Metal Robot Damashii Hi-Nu Gundam. Now with 'Amuro's Special Color' scheme to go with the repaint Nightingale.

Metal Robot Damashii <Side MS>
HI-NU GUNDAM ~Amuro's Special Color~
March 2024 Release
September 15, 2023 Preorder Starts
Y17000/18700
Tamashii Web Exclusive / P-Bandai

I wouldnt be surprised if we get a Metal Build Hi Nu version in this color soon as well

P-bandai price for me is ~$466 total.

At current exchange rates and assuming I were to purchase for retail price, my proxy says ~$375 inc. shipping.

I'm not crazy about the Providence, so I'll probably hold out until next year and make a decision then.

Someone at Bandai is dropping the ball. First it was a struggle for most people to Get the new Freedom Concept Spark Sprinkle or whatever , then they hyped the MS Nu Re issue with no actual pre order info and then they jack the price on Providence.... Now they posted those addition photos , its cool .... not $350 + kind of cool tho

Guys , I have a buddy getting out of the hobby in a Davidwangchoi fashion. Check out the thread as hes got a little bit of everything. 

Bump for the refresh and liquidation
