Not quite Metal Build, but close enough:

Out this month for a mind-numbing 93,000 Yen.

 

I think it is a bit over priced especially the funnels are sold separately for 27500 yen

Surethingstoys gets theirs from bluefin , so  if bluefin is just shipping out now,.........hmm maybe a week or so later?.

I guess so, also Amazon jp was selling some in-stock Eva-02 yesterday, and ships internationally.

Haven't got anything of EVA-02 from surethingtoys yet T.T

Congrats @carlsylar.  Awesome poses! I just got my Great Mazinger last night but haven't had a chance to set it up.

THX, they are good, too bad it seems they are not as popular as the gundams T.T

It finally comes, MB EVA Unit-02!

GREAT MAZINGER & MAZINGER Z

The full review article with gallery for the Bandai Metal Build 00 Raiser Designer Blue Variant is up on Kuma Style; https://kumastyledesigns.com/metal-build-00-raiser-db-review/
 

Article breaks it down in depth but gave it an overall 8.5/10. It's a really great repaint of one of Bandai's best additions to the Metal Build Line in general.

Here are some pictures from the gallery portion;

 

 

WOW you just made this another level, GREAT!!!

For the snow white wing zero, P-bandai Japan has opened second PO. 2020 06 release

yeah, the FMP MBs are pretty nice. I love them all.   It's too bad they are not that popular.

I just opened M9, impressed by it. So many accessories to play around.

Kinda glad I didn't notice those, they already got $730 out of me for other stuff on that restock.

Haha well the strike freedom is a very good price and it looks like soul blue is less popular than the first release edition also they got

https://www.hlj.com/metal-build-arbalest-ver-iv-bann17738 ARBALEST for 19950

https://www.hlj.com/metal-build-laevatein-ver-iv-bann17778 LAEVATEIN re-issue version for 17100

https://www.hlj.com/metal-build-great-mazinger-bans55478 GREAT MAZINGER for 20900

Personally I think the arbalest and laecatein are in good price XD

Dam if I had more money I still wouldn’t buy lol. They ruined me when they teased the 2nd L and I’m sure the crossbone will get the skull heart edition eventually

I heard rumors Bandai will sell FC crossbone next year, it is a pack full weapon and crossbone not the accessories since the chest mark of the existing x1 can not by replaced.

HLJ also has first release edition of strike

freedom for 23750 yen and seven sword G for 17100 yen early yesterday, but sold out really quick

This sounds like speculation. Do you have a source? This just makes too much sense for Bandai to do.

Well it is speculation I admit. But in either PB strike’s blade or PB new astray’s flight unit Bandai gives an adapter to allow strike to use astray’s flight unit. As Bandai is trying to put strike and astray share common equipments, it is a fair guess I think.

Was the sword and laucher pack shown?

They show them in the tamashii expo and also at the bottom part of this link it says sword and launcher start https://sp.tamashii.jp/special/metalbuild/alternative-strike/astray_red_kai/

Thanks for the pics carlsylar! Another question: will the aile strike pack and the gunbarrel striker fit on the MB Blue Frame Astray? Or will you need an adapter from the Alternative Red Frame Kai?

I am afraid you will need that adapter. All ashtrays share same connection but different from strike. But the sword and launcher pack which will be announced soon should have the adapter for both strike and astray to use it

Ah, thanks! So I'm assuming no compatibility issues with the other packs then.

Hey guys! I've been bitten by the Metal Build bug and have pre-ordered the Alternative Red Frame Kai. I also picked up the MB Blue Frame Astray and the Gunbarrel Striker from Mandarake. I'm considering getting an MB Strke as well. 

Is there a difference between the MB Aile Strike and the MB Strike Infinity? Will the Alternative packs (like the CALETVWLCH, Flight Unit Option Set, and upcoming Striker and Sword Packs) fit on either? 

Thanks!

The main body of both strikes are same, even the stands are same

Any idea if this was this the case with the MB Strike Freedom Soul Blue version?

kinda different, soul blue is tamashii expo limited and it does open PO all around the world and bluefin gets them, this one is just normal p-bandai item just only sold in japan area

For the snow white wing zero, bandai just changed their website page to add "Japan-only". Now this one can only be sold at p-bandai japan

Thank you for the correction. China Model is normally speak for counterfeit so I appreciate it.

Well they do produce some KOs like MC so I understand. It's ok. but this one is bandai's and I don't see it on Bandai's Japanese website. It says pre-announced in China but I don't see any other regions to sell it for now since it is PO in Auguest.

What's this Strike Freedom you speak of?  Do you have a link?

6 hours ago, Kuma Style said:

It's a ko so it's probably in the 3rd party thread. 

It is a Chinese Limited Metal Robot Strike Freedom, was first announced at Bandai Display booth in Shanghai CCG anime expo. Later pre-ordered in Bandai China official T-mall store. For now it is only sold in China. The color is like Metal Build Soul Blue Strike Freedom.

I like that the Metal Robot Spirit line for Seed Destiny has Infinite Justice and Akatsuki. Maybe Legend will still be released. The metal build lineup has been stuck with rehashes. 

I love seed and seed-d, there’s a Chinese limited metal robot strike freedom coming.  Also I’d love to see legend and akatsuki space package coming too. Finally there are lots of seed series of gundams!

On the blue F-91, does the beam shield attach securely to the arm?

I have the white Metal Build F-91 and the beam shield can get knocked off even if you look at it the wrong way.

Mine seems ok but not very tight.
