I agree. After being spoiled from 3rd parties I have kind of put off most Metal Builds from Bandai for the time. The secondary market for many of those are just to rich for my blood. Given I only have 3 Bandai Metal builds and is the reason I am sour about Metal Club getting busted. I was hoping that ShowZ would be able to honor those I had pre-ordered but I don't think they will be able to.
I did send them a message asking for clarification on the Metal Bear/Club. I haven't gotten any message but many of their pre-orders show sold out, where they hadn't the day before I sent that message. More to follow if I get any insight.

I know this is becoming a little redundant but I want to give a continued shout out to @sumyumgoy. Purchased a VF-25A from him and it arrived super fast. Straight BOSS Macross World member.

How is Mandrake selling tons of SSPs and NY hasnt even shipped thier customers pre orders.

FOR THE REPUBLIC!!
Used to play that game religiously. Miss those days and still have the Malgus statue from the collectors edition release.
-
Yeah, I should have clarified. But I do have the Motor Nuclear, first and pre ordered the second. Saw the new picts released a few days back for the gold, and like what I see.
Seriously F Bandai. I have a couple of the Metal Builds and can say they feel way more fragile then most of the third party versions I have gotten. I hope the second Motor Nuclear is released. Still butthurt about Metal Club.
-
Looks cool indeed. I saw that they have put a lot of Devil Hunters out on re order from ShowZ. I am not familiar with the line. I know there are 2 releases so far with 5 more from what I gather. Anyone here have those 2 releases and care to speak on it?

Looks like someone didn't bribe the right people.
Maybe if they were faster at shipping out their goods. Even before this whole covid-19 mess happened. Metal Club seems to be slow to start
-
Thank you again @sqidd. Banana Force Red Shooter and Black Getter are both amazing figures. Lightning shipping and comms all the way. Look forward to when you decide to trim more of your collection

Hence the sale now...Specifically they will bring down the hammer on Double00 and Seed...of course whatever stock there is of the Sazabi, the two Ksh's and Sinanju
I was also told today that the Daban PG Double 00 Riser and possibly some other kits as well. Say goodbye to MC Seed and Wing too...
Stuff on pre-order may just be whatever was made. No information as of yet if the arrests and raid included current stock
To bad its just a model kit. Or I would jump on it. If it was Metal Build type I would pull the trigger.
-
Yeah no such luck here. Item "Return to sender" on the 16th of April. Never left Japan. But it was a small item (HMR) so no huge worries. I ave never had any issues with Mandrake so I am not to worried.
-
You know you have arrived when you have a 2 year wait list. What an amazing work of art. Thanks for sharing @sh9000
-
Maybe someone at ShowZ may be able to better say if they are one and the same or just a distant relative.

Especially since their Avalanche Exia was about to release; now I'm going to need to pick one up at Bandai after market prices (~$700 last I checked). On that note does anyone know how Show Z handles pre orders wher the company can no longer fulfill them? Do they automatically cancel and refund or do I need to open a support ticket?
Good question. I had only put the minimum amount for the exia myself. Shoot. I dont have 700.00.
I would send a message and ask. I may do so myself to see what kind of response I get.

It seems Metal Club/Metal Gear got arrested.
Noooooo. Welp that sucks.

Smooth transaction with @BluprinT. Fast shipping. Great Macross Worlder! Thank you again

That is such a fricking amazing paint scheme. God I wish there was anime options to them.

So you paid $100 in total to get it shipped out (if approved).
If you're not in a rush to get it, let it sit till the virus is subsided.
No I did not. The bird isnt scheduled to release from NY until May 31st. So I'll wait till that timeframes to consider if I will pay the extra 40.00, because I already paid 56.99 when the pre release went up.
-
Just got a response back from NY. Already paid 50ish dollars for the original shipping I chose earlier. And now they want to add an additional 40 or so.
Note this is first the PF VF-0D. So things, by May 31st may be back to a few more options by that time.
-
Yeah and what of thier VF-0D PFs that keep getting pushed back. Terrible news, but not suprising. Just that one item, and um done with them. Already past 6 months since I paid completely for it..
-
Another positive experience and smooth transaction with @sumyumgoy. Great seller and awesome dude

really?
My full payment went through hopefully soon
Really. That message went up yesterday. I received my Wushuang Model MJ01 Zhao Yun Zilong last Friday or Saturday I believe. I suspect that this will no longer be the case. And after speaking with the ShowZ staff, they recommended either cancel or let them hold on to the toys/pre-orders until this sorts out.
And I agree the quality of a lot of there models/complete figures I have gotten are damn good display pieces and toys I can play with.

ShowZ just put out a statement packages over 2kg aren't getting shipped out and are currently just chilling at the airport. And unfortunately, the 1/72 Kampfer is 3.5kg,........so yeah I'm not sure I will see Kampfer anytime soon or if at all.
I just read that @SuperHobo. Very unfortunate. Not sure I can justify the additional 30. -....whatever the actual amount for shipping now.
-
Yeah that would be much cheaper for sure @kkx

Really digging the toy. I had an order that left China 3.5 weeks ago and arrive at my home in the states a few days back. So I'm not to worried about shipping for now from ShowZ
The Third Party Gundam Thread
in Anime or Science Fiction

I just saw that. The ratings (at least on ShowZ seem to elude to) from the buyers, show it being worse then the first iteration? I don't have either so i wouldn't know.
