Had plenty of time to add one to my cart at HLJ, and it got to the login step, before the site borked out on me.    

Good luck to everyone, still looks like Hobby Search and AmiAmi haven't even opened yet.

HS opened and closed in a blink of an eye, lol. I had one in my cart and then no good... i think they allowed more than 1 for an order.

anime-export gone too

HS allowed more than one at checkout... probably why it sells out so damn fast.

HS sold out fast as hell T_T

HS still not up yet lol

I don't know about you, but I usually can't even blink that fast.

Huh... At 17:00 JST according to Amiami?? 

Nope.. Waiting for Mirage's 31ax instead. Got too much stuff coming in, gotta set priorities.

 

wow.... 17:00 is 5pm? geezzz...

Looks like everything else up for preorder on Amiami's site has been set to 1700.

Seems like HotToys reveal a Marvel's What If figures...

A bit of a different note, but saw posted on fb just before and told my friend to put his MB justice on one as a better Jabber/backpack... lol:

What I find more concerning are the hinges at the tail fins. What is this? A retail Transformer? 

Oh geezzz i was so appalled by the wide broad design that i completely missed the fin folding design. XD

Edit:

Im just a little surprised bandai didnt go the extra mile like they usually do with their MBs and make it MB nice. Or maybe just this time they thought making it extra wide and extra detailed made it MB better, lol.

I thought they would've considered making some of the broad flat panels in the middle collaspe, fold or telescope just a bit to make it look a little more ideal. Looking at it currently makes me feel like i was back in middle school with backpack full of textbooks, lol.

Saw these other pics on fb of the Justice... damn that backpack looks ooogly when mounted, lol:

Wow, even at almost double initial price, they're sold out.

I knew it was going to be a high-demand kit, but dayum.

It's ridiculous. I just checked ebay the average going price is about $150 with shipping included, some higher some lower. One japan seller has a price match ($115 with ship) pretty much with BBTS' price before state tax and the $6 ship.

The kicker is... it's still available through p-bandai japan at msrp for a fourth batch release date of march 2022. I'm guessing proxies ran out of allotment or people can't find friends/sources to help proxy through p-bandai.jp.

EDIT* I just remembered ebay charges tax now too, lol.

Super freaking expensive but here's a secondary option for the Fluegel.

It's sold out.

11 hours ago, anime52k8 said:

~$120 is a good price and I'd be down, but the places that aren't sold out are listing it for $190+ rn and that's a nope for me.

 

 

Yea going for the first batches of 3rd parties (same be said about official company) to beat later demand prices can be risky because you wouldn't know the quality.

That's good to hear, I'll do some browsing and give it a shot.  The redesign is very cool, like anime52k8 said, it's so far removed from the original MS it was based on.

Ya the design is very. The original design needs a lot of help, lol.

41 minutes ago, Valkyrie Hunter D said:

Anyone else getting this?

Supposedly, it's Zero Gravity's version of the Forbidden Gundam, and it builds like Bandai's Hi Resolution kits.  I just thought it was instantly cool because it's in Nu colors and wields a scythe.

I got it when it initially dropped iirc about $115 shipped. The prices have since gone up because of crazy demand and people have been flipping them.

It's a great build! Yes it's similar to a Hi-Res, but imo better. The inner frame alone is appx 3/4 diecast whereas a Hi-Res is like 1/5th at most. The backpack takes about as long if not just a tad longer than the frame (because of the pre-built).
Mecha Gaikotsu did a great review of it, so did Zaku Aurelius

Oh and MG does note about the flaws of the kit. You cannot complete dual scythes because one will be missing the blue outer frame parts for it (ZG only provides one set. Yet two beam effects, one diecast scythe handle and two plastic scythe handles).
Oh yea and don't look up the custom color variations builders have done... most of them will just make you want the kit more, lol.

Would be nice if some company like MoShow would tackle it and make it as 1/72. 

Daban's doing a complete diecast figures now?

My initial reaction was how come the figure is too small for its backpack flight unit? Only to realize he was kneeling on it.  

 

Not a complete figure, but an MS Nu in kit form from what I've heard.

1 hour ago, Valkyrie Hunter D said:

Or a ballsy KO company that will give it decent articulation.

I heard rumor was that Daban was working on a KO MS Nu, but dunno about improving its articulation. Also probably minimal/none/or less diescast than the actual MS Nu.

one) evil black repaint Astrea is pretty hot and I kinda want one.

two) giving it Dyames weapons is such a cruel tease.

That would be hot. Was funny too because I was just thinking about the same then saw your reply. I told myself don't look up pics of the two for comparison. It'd just make me want them both more, lol.

hey, I also want my color swap and new head Eva-00

AHAHAHAH... lol. Bandai and their bandaid rehashing schemes. XD

I still find it a bit funny that we get upset over a color swap and head change on anything else other than transformers or Macross. Everything else is a money grab!!

Count taken from: https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Metal_Build#Regular
I may have missed some? but did my best to manually count them form the categories...

Seems like they were all p-bandaid.

EDIT OMG missed the first two under regular release, don't know how I f'd that up. I was wondering why I was looking at the list and thought to myself 'wth why'd bandai start with transam as the first release? that dont seem right...' LOL. So it looks like 10 variations so far, not including this 'X' version (11 now):

Regular
2013 Exia repair 3 
2013 Exia repair 2

Exclusive
2014 trans am exia
2014 avalanche exia
2014 avalanche exia (weapon plus pack), included are the option parts which could be purchased separately
2018 10th anniversary edition exia
2018 astrea type-f (gn heavy weapon set), not included(?) Avalung option set
2019 astrea + proto gn high mega launcher
2020 astrea high maneuver test pack
2020 exia repair 4

Christ.. another Astraea.. I bet they'll come out with exclusive avalanche/weapons pack for this one as well at the same or higher cost than the figure itself.. Anyone know just how many variants of this thing there are?

Not enough! LOL:
