Looks great with 2 Bazooka setup.  

What is the plan on the extra naked Dynames?

 

There's always tons of striker packs to try out lol. I wonder if they fit? Mostly the backpack connections.

This will drop the Total shipped price to 27500 yen for the vf-31ax

 

Did they raise the price? It's now 31500 yen with shipping with the discount applied.

Those bastards are releasing a Gundam Wing MS Mode !?!?!? Talk about milking the franchise. They could have picked anything else from the Wing series to reboot but they picked this ?!?!?!  I’m still waiting on a Metal Build or GFFMC Heavy Arms , Death Scythe or Epion …. F*** me right …. It’s cool I’ll just toss into the collection closet 

I used to do that too, until it became too obvious. Now I keep them way up and mostly out of sight so it's harder to tell if they multiply =P

So bandai Separate alie strike into two  products and titled them metal build 10year Ver

both of them are limited release

Well at least they know they need to put out more strike frames to go with all the backpacka they're pumping out lol. They did do the naked strike as a TWE exclusive before so it's just a rerun. From a cursory glance can't tell if the decals are different?

Good time to rock the Yammy version..🥸

Gonna be patient. Patient. Please Bandai?

Beautiful photos! Unlikely but I wish the Ozma version got a similar update.

Same here! Actually I hope the VF-25S gets the same painted update. Probably never going to happen given Bandai is focused on the 31s now.

Too many people seeking refunds perhaps. 

I think PayPal dropped them as a vendor due to the amount of refunds.

Right!

I was bummed I missed it. I think they were something like $200 or close to it. I would have bought five of them without a second thought.

Oh damn, I didn't know this was a thing. Otherwise I would have jumped on it as well! Love the show!

Why do I get the feeling that after the MB Strike Rouge Ootori set gets released, they will offer the Ootori Pack separately?

 

I'm in the same boat, I like the backpack but don't care for a pink strike. Prolly gonna skip this one. Hopefully they'll do a separate release but if they don't, meh.

its the bandai trap. Would you like a belt with those pants sir lol 

I am putting faith that Moshow or some other will put to work some Modified form of a NU gundam 

I'm just pointing out the relative prices. I was looking at the Motoko Kusanagi statue that was going for 1200 and has no moving pieces, and realizing that that kind of price is not uncommon for statue and figure collectors (which I'm not). 

It's unlikely that MoShow will do anything Gundam related since they've moved on to licensed homegrown Chinese IP like their Progenitor Effect. 

I saw rumors Daban is working on a copy of the MS Nu in kit form... But I don't build Daban kits due to their lackluster fitment.

while its nice. Its WAAAAAY overpriced. North of a thousand dollars for a figure that has the posability of a MG gundam from the 80s. Mean while you get the insane detail and posability with MoSHOWs Takeda Shingen for less than 200 dollars american. Sometimes Bandai prays on the stupidity of its collectors. 

While I agree to a certain extent (I have all of MoShow releases and absolutely adore their work), if you reframe the MS Nu in the context of large statues with limited to no posability the original MSRP ain't that bad. I puke when I see how much people are paying for static polystone statues/figures. 

I do think it's dumb the fin funnels were separate though.

Sweet, is the Strike Rouge a TWE or a regular release?

The page says Tamashii Web Exclusive, po starting June 28. Likely 4pm JST as is common.

CF 171 for 21.5k yen (Item A/Box B) *

* This one is famous for the exploding triangles, so if you want it, leave it in valk mode forever *

Thanks man, I jumped on this one. And I prefer its fighter mode so that's how it's going to stay lol. DHL shipping wasn't too bad around 30 dollars to the US.

ugh just make the Metal Build HiNU already

I know right? I couldn't wait and already picked up the Metal Robot Robot Spirits version with hyper Mega cannon... At this pace we won't see it until next year.

Except I know I didn't sell it to him, don't remember who it did go to, but I know it wasn't him.  Still stoked.

Man that's some awesome serendipity.

My Haul from the last couple of weeks.  Brown box is a sealed VF-31A Kairos.  YF-29 Full Set was sealed as well.  VF-31C was a display only item so it's like new.  HiMetal R was also sealed.  Got pretty good deals for the most part.

 

How much /where did you find the Yamato display stand if you don't mind me asking?

Great snag on the 1/48 Yammie Stealth 1J + SSP Combo @leeboo1211! 

I know that this was listed for a long time and no one even dared to get it due to the fact the DHL is a killer with a stinkin huge box and pitted to hell. Let me guess that you paid close to mid 20k yen for shipping so in total to 50k yen when everything combined?

Now that you officially joined the 1/48 Yammie Club, this makes you the following.  

@borgifiedHaha yeah, the box was beat up but everything inside looked like it was barely touched, instructions and stickers still sealed. I was more concerned with the risk of plastic cracking but I think that's also standard for Mandarake with older items. 

I asked for as compact shipping box as possible so it was 16K yen, total 38k yen so about 345USD.

These guys are hard to find nowadays, and the box so big I doubt I'd even want to stick it in luggage even if I was in person it'd take up so much space. It's the one color scheme out of all the Yamatos that I really love so... I guess I just jumped at it! Glad to be one of ya'll too!

That right there is a beautiful shot!

Thanks! I'm looking for a second set of the Fext hobby background so I can get a bit more space to spread out... And add some maintenance crew figures. Right now the VF-1s barely fit lol. 

 I got one just cuz I only have the Messer 31F. The only other versions I would want are the Arad and Kairos and both are crazy expensive now. I did pick up the Armored parts so will eventually want to slap them on someone... Hopefully that new, darker Arad color in the movie preview will be released.

Thanks dude, picked one up on Nin-Nin to their private warehouse as shipping was quoted as Y4,810.

That's interesting, my shipping was quoted as 4,080 yen to the US via FedEx/DHL. That seemed reasonable during these times. Were you planning to combine shipments with other stuff? 

Yamato 1/48 Stealth w/ Strike Pack. Probably the only Yamato VF-1 I'll ever get, just love this color scheme. Quite a different experience from the Bandai DXs. Snagged it off Mandarake for a decent price, although shipping was killer. Box was a bit beat up but the contents were pristine. 

My one big gripe about Yamato is... They make their boxes so freaking huge. Shipping them sucks!

Still up on HLJ. Is it my imagination or did this feel... too easy?

Probably just not much demand. Nin-Nin's price wasn't too bad even just now with DHL shipping around $245 USD.

Can't wait for my Full Cloth to arrive too! 

Just got my TV supers.
