Sieg Zeon!

Skipping Providence...giant ugly backpack and crazy price. Hope this is more reasonable.

The price on PBUS hurts so much more... $420, lol:

Yeah easy pass... that's probably $460 once tax and shipping. Makes the GN Arms feel like a good deal lol

I'm not sure if it's official, but from what was posted before, Type-D will be a separate optional parts. Meaning you have to buy an extra Type-E if you want to display both GN-Arms Types. Imagine the amount of space it's going to take.

Again, not sure if that is the official info for it.  

Not a problem for some folks....LOL

Oh my Christmas crackers! That is very good news! Now all we need is a non-3D printed fast prototype!

FINALLY! Been waiting forever so YF-19 has something to go against.

Well, if anything can always have a Yammie for F mode and DX for B mode. I'd probably just get a model kit for F tho.

Metal Structure Sazabi reissue available at Anime Export (¥298,000 ~$2200): https://www.anime-export.com/index.php?product=70494

Doubt this was a reissue, they probably just found/acquired some extra stock, as "Release date will be August 7th, 2023"....

GN Arms up on Madarake for 80k yen: https://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/detailPage/item?itemCode=1234052091&ref=list&keyword=Metal build

Good luck on the shipping!

Mine is getting delivered by PBUS this week!

Preordered one but am I missing something, seems like there’s not enough interest or excitement for this piece. The only thing holding me back was the price before I gave in.😗

Prolly just a popularity issue, the piece looked quite good in person. The Dragon Scale side lines don't have the same demand as the Gundams so usually I find them for decent prices after release, especially if it's not a must-have I just wait and see.

That’s awesome! I’m jealous. I even emailed PBandai to see if there’s any chance they’d have extra inventory but to no avail haha. I just hope I can find it on Mandarake for less than the $900 or so that Lunapark is quoting. 

Mandarake had one listed for 85k yen which is about 600 USD... although shipping may be killer.

Thanks for the heads up! I’ve never used these sites before so I’m unsure how to apply these discounts from buyee though and don’t see those cheap(ish) prices anymore. 

They're also on Mandarake for 38k yen unopened now...I got mine in person for 42k less than a month ago.

Fixed up the revival 25F a bit. Was originally just going to do a quick panel wash and call it a day, but then I kept going...  Was a fun, quick little side project though

Did the matte finish give you any trouble when panel lining/cleanup?

Went on sale today at the Tamashii Nations World Tour exhibit in Akihabara.... the line to purchase anything in store was long so I didn't partake. But I did get a free swag bag for posting and sharing on Instagram.

That’s a bit of a bummer, I was looking forward to something that is devoid of any color. 

Yeah I know right? Hopefully they get some feedback and adjust....the promo photos are much more monochrome, like the M9 Gernsback.

MB Leviathan Arbalest Reference and emergency booster. Love the booster, dunno if I'll get another Leviathan just to color match it.

MB Dragon Scale Sirbine.

Just some pics I took of the MB Astrea II display prototype at the Tamashii Nations World Tour exhibit in Akihabara. Honestly in person the color is a bit very light mint green...I hope they make it a bit more gray and military in the final release.

For those who hunts MB STRIKE NOIR. There's some listings of used ones (opened) for Y38000 and unopened with some minor box damaged for Y42000 at Mandarake.

I just picked one up at Mandarake Shibuya.

It would've been nice if they took a full pic..

Here ya go, I was just there today. It's confirmed.

What part are you questioning? The kanji does say "rerelease decided" basically on the upper right.

EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the part circled initially. That being said, I think that plaque was referencing the original release date, which was mid-December 2019. The re-release was also teased on one of the Tamashii Nations social media posts a couple of months ago, so I do think it is legit. Hope people who want it can get one! (I have mine already, still unopened).

I am highly questioning the validity of the post because i noticed this in the upper right hand corner of the pic:

To be fair it is part of the Chogokin line so you cant expect much from it when this particular line originates from a gift shop. 

its cool but For 90k yen before tax and shipping?#Yikes  Im gonna have to sit this one out 

For that price I would expect it to move automatically like that collectible Transformers Optimus Prime.

Yeah, Bandai works in mysterious ways. They could put out the Providence instead. The only thing that is scheduled that excites me is the Dynames.

What about Kampfer? It was teased.

18 hours ago, Scyla said:

I find it sad that Bandai seems to be slacking off with the Metal Build line. First no new deco for the Strike Rouge with Grand Slam and now no new weapons for the X1 Patchwork (I’m not allowing to count the effect parts).

Yeah same here, there's nothing new here that would entice me... already have 4 of xbone series.

15 hours ago, bakerjin said:

True, but maybe they've been diverting their effort to things they've already announced like GN Arms and Deathscythe (though those seemed complete already in previews).  Maybe Providence?

I'm more upset that this Patchwork might be regular release while Strike Noir was TWE...

I'm still hoping they'll release Strike Noir as a regular or p bandai release...

Ugh, going to be another fun night of trying to get in a proxy order...

 

And then finding out it's available on US P-Bandai for cheaper.

The PB US site page is up already, 310 usd. Pius tax and shipping it'll be close to 350 all said and done.

We'll I guess that gives me time to think about if I really want it that much lol. EE is slow but they've always delivered, I've purchased a bunch from them the past couple of years. It was just surprising to see their PO pop up suddenly. 

Welp, EE just emailed to say they cancelled my Metal Structure Sazabi PO. It was worth a shot. 

Unfortunately, we're sorry to report that the manufacturer has notified us that we will not be receiving any additional shipments of the Mobile Suit Gundam Char's Counterattack MSN-04 Sazabi Figure (Item BLFBAS61361) you ordered, because they have discontinued production of this item. No additional information was provided to us by the manufacturer as to why this occurred. Sadly, that means we will not be able to ship it to you and have cancelled it from your order. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
