I see what you did there 😃 OK she's a looker...I'll take a Kallen figure! I'm glad I didn't jump on the MRS releases. Lancelot Albion next, then Shinkiro? That will have to come with figures of both Lelouch and C2.- 6551 replies

Seems to be two long range funnels, to counterpart the one big one Nu Gundam has.- 6551 replies

I've got both, they are just different. MC has better detailing and paint, a bit more traditional Kshatriya styling, but plastic is a bit lighter/brittle. SL is more stylized and angular, much larger binders, heavier, but more robust and playable.

As they say, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I think you should take one for the team so we all get a reprint =P- 6551 replies

From this post specifically. If you read the kanji on the left, it says (paraphrased) "Origin point, Again (or Return)" and on the right where the Sazabi is it says "Katai, continued". A lot of the Japanese comments below are about a reissue. Actually more are commenting about the Nu Gundam than the Sazabi, lol. Again, there's room for interpretation and it's Bandai so who the F knows.- 6551 replies

I also prefer the asymmetric look, but I also like the way they are mounted behind vertically on the stand so I want both 😃- 6551 replies

They teased it late last year when the released some more photos of the MS Sazabi. But again, with all of Bandai's teases, who knows for sure. It's likely that it'll be hard to get your hands on it either way. The first time the MS Nu was released for PO people were skeptical of the price point and it was a bit lukewarm at first. Then the reviews came out and suddenly folks wanted one...it's proven that the market is there. They didn't even put a timeline on a reprint, so... I'd go with a surer thing honestly, who knows how long you'd be waiting.- 6551 replies

I don't think that's the issue here, but the Metal Structure Nu does not come with the fin funnels. So it's more a matter of if you can find the funnel set, two if you want symmetrical look. They are going for up to 3 times the original $200 MSRP at this point. Hopefully with the teased reprint of the MS Nu they will make more, and I can get a second set at reasonable price.- 6551 replies

Yep. Or even the matte gold finish they used for the MG Hyaku Shiki 2.0...that is by far my favorite. Very similar to this, maybe a tad bit shinier. I'm personally not a great fan of the mirror shiny gold, shows surface imperfection and fingerprints too much.- 6551 replies

Pass. I really just want the Hyaku Shiki Kai non-MPT version... Hopefully with a better looking finish. This yellow looks very similar to the poop yellow Bandai uses for their injection molded gold.- 6551 replies
