Yeah the proportions are much better. This was an easy skip for me, but now I'm tempted if I can find one for a decent price. -
Pretty sure it will see general release afterwards...
-
Screw that, that price is crazytowns...I'd like to have it to pair with Nu, but not that much. At the current exchange rate it should work out to $1400 RETAIL...so that's a $600 premium. This isn't a P-Bandai exclusive, so distro price is lower than retail. I'm personally not going to encourage scalper-ish behavior from these stores.
-
How much you guys think shipping for this thing will be? The Nu is about a large PG box size, Sazabi is likely 1.5 times larger or thicker m

NNG was moving warehouse earlier this year so there was a period when they were slow to respond. They still came through for my orders, sometimes just had to email about things that were released. Hopefully they are more responsive after the move, but can't tell you from personal experience.
-
Saw in a Facebook group that a guy who PO with LunaPaek and paid full in advance had his order canceled without notification... Still waiting to see if they refund him. Hope you have better luck, but given their track record I doubt they'll honor it especially with the higher MSRP than they listed it for.
-
Yeah at this point I'd bank on two months or more after JP release. USAG has gotten big, and even ordering in-stock items can take a week or so for things to ship out. They will deliver, but just like BBTS it will take time.
-
So weird they insist on these 3am times even though it's the US site... Trying to keep it consistent with JP preorder times?
-
MB Strike Noir coming soon .... Milk that mold Bandai! Probably Astray Noir not far off.... https://www.instagram.com/p/CfbRvUDLfu7/?igshid=MDJmNzVkMjY= Bleh. I'm getting tired of this.
-
Same Strike, less markings, higher price. Kinda like swimwear and lingerie 😃
-
Yeah if I remember correctly for now it's a Fukuoka exclusive, but eventually they might release it through P Bandai just like the Yokohama one... Regardless I'm not buying it at that kind of price. The MSRP is basically 200 usd.
-
Chogokin RX-93ff v Gundam up at BBTS for $449...is it just me or that's quite a markup. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/209334
-
Yeah, particularly given the current exchange rate....27k yen is about 200 USD at the moment.
-
Up at USAG, EE, and Sure Thing Toys as well, about the same price. FYI EE charges upon shipment, the others pay up front. https://www.usagundamstore.com/products/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion-r2-metal-build-dragon-scale-type-02-f1z-guren-s-e-i-t-e-n-eight-elements https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/code-geass-lelouch-of-the-rebellion-r2-seiten-guren-type08-elements-metal-build-dragon-scale-action-figure/blfbas63459 https://surethingtoys.com/collections/bandai-metal-build/products/bandai-metal-build-gode-geass-guren-type-08-seiten

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.
-
I hope the front looks as good. Y'know, like some gals look stunning from behind.. =P
-
Seems to be two long range funnels, to counterpart the one big one Nu Gundam has.
-
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.
-
Damn, Bandai, lazy. Oh well, with inflation and gas prices as it is not bad to save some money!
-
Sounds like my cue to setup a new website. Take orders and ignore everyone, it'll be faithful to the original!
-
It's fugly. So much kibble, it's more like the Gundam is the accessory now. Hard pass.
-
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

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