And it's sold out.

Given the crap people ordering the 31A have had to deal with, I'm thinking the old reliance on exclusives being easier to snag is gone.  I'm not going to trust Bandai to produce enough anymore, so I'm probably going to start ordering from multiple sources from now on.

And we'll end up paying more via proxy services or from third party sellers from Japan. Bandai's collectibles are getting expensive by the day and getting hard to get.

I am beginning to wonder if Chuck will be a web exclusive only.  I can’t imagine they would expect him to sell that well.  I’m planning on getting two so I can have both sets of squads complete with and without armor.  I wonder when/if super or armor parts will be available for the A and when super or armor parts will be available for the S?  It’d be nice if people could grill Bandai reps at shows for info. like that like we Marvel legends fans will do with Dwight at Hasbro.

That would be nice. But do we have someone here who knows some people at Bandai to begin with?

I got mine from CD Japan when they opened a second round of preorders.

Sure thing, noel. I have a bunch of MBs that I haven't opened, but I'll open the Aile Strike next just for you!

Sweet! Just want to hear your overall opinion when it gets displayed besides Freedom and Strike Freedom. Thanks Lolicon!

So many Frontier figures in the pipeline and nothing for Delta? Oh my.

What Delta?

It's a fantastic rendition of one of my favorite valkyrie designs in a smaller scale. Including four different pilot figures was a good choice by Bandai and prompted me to get two. One for space flight, the other for when they're stranded on charred Earth (spoiler alert for a 34 year old movie, I guess).

Looks like someone's going to make a tent and a mutated fish.

I have both Yamato VF-1D and VT-1. I haven't played with it. Only now I realize that their orange are different. And I can't unsee that now. 

But I have to agree I like the Yamato's VF-1D's orange color more.

New stuff day!

Hey Lolicon. 'Grats on your purchases.  

Let me know what you think of the Aile Strike. Mine is still in PW waiting for another item towards the end of August before I have it shipped so I might get it early next month. Thanks!

Thanks @no3Ljm for the pic and helping me to make the decision.

You're welcome. Glad to be of help. 

I know there wasn't any indication if this is based on the Anima line (which it kinda looks like it). But if I were to get one Eva as part of my collection, I rather to have something like this setup from the Chogokin Super Evangelion with the Weapon Bay Carousel. In which I'm sure they will release 'something' Tamashii Web Exclusive Option Add-On Set months after.

And yes, @davidwhangchoi. They're basically robbing us.

so is it safe to get the pre order from ebay? if u missed it by 1 day?

In general speaking, if the PO item will get released within 6 months, then I can say it's also safe to get it thru their eBay store. Why, because you're basically 100% protected by Paypal's Purchase Protection. Whereas if you get it thru their online store, I'm not sure if they will refund it 100% if they don't deliver, or just get store credit.

Anyone, feel free to correct me regarding MyKombini since I haven't purchased anything from them.

Says more details will be released Friday 24 Aug.

Should a new Metal Build (Other series) topic be created for Eva and other MBs? 

This topic is strictly for Gundam Figures.

Normally another topic will pop up later ,but this thread has been use for metal build general news ever since bandai branched out to other series besides gundam.  I think it made it easier for people to get news updates on metal build products.

@no3Ljm created a separate topic for it:

 

Hey guys. I've updated the thread I created earlier from the Evangelion post to a 'general thread' so we can focus on the Metal Build discussions from any series. I also added a poll if you like to continue any future or upcoming MB Gundam figures announcement there too so this thread will not have any non-Gundam MB announcements. 

Let me know.

 I didn’t know that he was the narrator for Giant Gorg. And he’s also in Juushinki Pandora (Last Hope). 

DC INJUSTICE

Darkseid

Lobo

pics of the 101 with the vf-1J Please

Here you go, sir.

Honestly, at this point, I'd take either.  Wouldn't be too hard to scrape off the dragon marking, and then I'd at least have one numbered something other than 3.  

Actually, it is kind of hard to scrape off the marking. I tried it on my other Messer using thinner but it won't. Don't want to scrape it too hard that I might damage the under paint so I stopped.

I'm still waiting for the FIRST VF-31A scheme.  

I've been poking NY every week or so about it, and gotten nowhere.  At this point, I almost don't care quite as much about the actual valks as I do finding out who to slap for this pile of nonsense.

Sorry to hear about that Chronocidal. I'm just referring on Arad's VF-31A. 

Wow! 

By the way, care to share where can I get a copy of that Minmay desktop wallpaper? Thanks!

I'll try to take some pic tonight.

We can hope it gets made, since it's the only VF-31 that hasn't yet (other than Arad's VF-31A, or VF-31A #2).

Who knows, maybe we'll just see armored and super packs every couple of months for a year...

For me, I rather see them finish the Delta Platoon with Chuck's VF-31E before diving it again with the VF-31A scheme.
