Fell from shelf and left shoulder armor cover is broke. In 2 pieces at the hinge. I’ve tried to repair twice but the moment it moves it rebreaks. Everything else is fine and functions.

It would be a shame to let it go. Would it be possible to just replace the entire left shoulder? You may be able to pop the arm off and detach the shoulder armor.

There's an eBay user that offers replacement MB parts. I just ordered a few things myself.

Of the listings I'm seeing on Mercari, buyers are expecting them to be delivered on the 22nd or 23rd.

The Providence will be out soon. Should be shipping around the 24th. I'm seeing early sales for nearly 70k Yen.

I pre-ordered last week for ~56k, or slightly less than US retail.

Looks like the new Astray Blue Frame will soon be available for Club Tamashii members.

GN Arms Type-D

Possible unveil of the Astraea option set #2?

I wonder what else is in store...

P-bandai price for me is ~$466 total.

At current exchange rates and assuming I were to purchase for retail price, my proxy says ~$375 inc. shipping.

I'm not crazy about the Providence, so I'll probably hold out until next year and make a decision then.

Astray Gold and Divine Striker are out.

Looks like the Providence is getting a September release.

US P-bandai orders for the GN Arms are expected to ship on 7/21

It's almost here 😊

It's a bit hard to distinguish but there appears to have been quite a bit of the armor on the gold frame tweaked (at least in comparison to the original MB Red Frame with the flight pack I have.) I'm not sure if this is just bits they've changed as they kept re-releasing the design or if it is new to this release. Knees, shoulder, feet, thighs, front skirts... 

It's the new mold also used for the Red Dragon.

The option set is getting an option set...

Yikes... Order from Japan if possible. 60k is about $450 with the current exchange rate.

Sheesh 60k for the GN Arms.

¥31,500 (~$225)

Whats bare bones mean, without the blades? 

No flight unit or neo-caletvwlch set.

Picked up a bare bones Red Dragon for a good price.

Red Dragon orders for the US are getting delayed until the replacement parts arrive.
