Is this just a standard type release or a PO in March? It says release date, but it may not be translating correctly it for my dumb dumb brain. Thanks!

To me the limb/purge mode seems like a great way to reduce reliability and increase cost for something that isn't anything more than "neat".

Oh, no, no, no. I can get in trouble all by myself thanks! I have other MB stuff. This is just my first good guy Gundam.

I blame @Kuma Style for this purchase. And now that I have one of these Metal Build good guy Gundams in my hands.............the zillion dollars I'm probably going to spend on more.

Sometimes you just have to know when the universe says that it;'s probably not a good idea this time. I just went through the same thing with a new car. Every step seemed like I was encountering some sort of hurdle. I didn't want the car THAT bad. I cut the deal loose. I'm glad I did.

This is why I never got a 25th. I would want mine to look like this. I don't have the skills, time or patience to do it though.

I've got both sets of legs for mine. One set from NY and the other from whomever the vendor on AmazonJP was. The latter didn't even charge shipping. I almost never dodge bullets. This is rare.

The Mandalorian - Star Wars webseries from Jon Favreau
sqidd replied to SMS007's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I'm probably out then. I'm not picking up another streaming service for one show. Not to mention that sort of setup doesn't allow for binge watching, which is how I usually do this sort of stuff. I'd gladly pay for a month of service to watch the show. I do it with all sorts of "channels" to watch a couple shows that they have. I'd even pay a premium for that month. Let's say that their normal service charge is $9.99. I'll pay $25 to get it on a month to month basis. Plus, pretty much everything Disney touches turns to crap. I don't need an entire network of that.- 1438 replies

They could be applicable to the red and gold versions. And it's just a color change. I'm not sure what is involved in that, but it has to be a whole lot less effort than molds. Worse case I can take the existing packs and paint some black. I can paint for crap, but I can do flat and semi gloss black!

I'm not attempting to make a case for them. Only pointing out that intentions/desires don't always align with what the reality of production will bear. I don't manufacture anything in plastic so I have no idea what you can and can't pull off as far as shapes goes. The're are going to be limits. When working in metal just because you can draw it, doesn't mean you can actually machine it. Then there are the tooling/production costs. More complicated = more $$$. I would bet money that Bandai could do more anime/fan accurate examples if they cost $500.

Sorry for the crap lighting. I'm in the process of switching a few cabs over to LED's. Got a couple Ride Armors out of the box. Holy smokes, that Beagle/Toynami is not joke to transform. @jenius saved me there. Again, thanks for the fantastic video's. I was happy I was able to get the Sentinel knee down without any sort of stand. It took a bit to get the figure bent around the bike enough to pull that off.....without pulling him in half. I've got to figure a way out of getting the Beagle/Toynami on a YetiStand. My cabs are all glass. I'm trying to stay away from colored stands as much as possible. -

There are a million factors in production that we can't see. Some of those factors determine the final product. Even it's shape. My business is short run, high dollar "Gucci" go fast car parts. Even though I'm in the top tier of price I still have to "dumb" product down for production considerations. I'm never able to design something that is exactly how I want it.

I tried contacting the through the site but their mail system has a glitch. I tried posting on their FB page but that didn't work for some reason. I did manage to DM them through FB though. I'm absolutely a buyer if they release them. I already have the gold and red version VF-1's. I'd add FP's to those. And then I would buy at least one more of each VF-1 and FP's for them to display in alternate modes. Maybe two more of each to display in all three modes. I'm ready to support the move with my wallet. If you have a pipeline can you put a bug in their ear?

I wish they would release black FP's for the red and gold special editions.

My$.02. The price comparison between this and the DX is a tough one. Is the DX really $175? Yeah, if someone got one on PO by some miracle. Current pricing, if you can find one is $350+. Current pricing more applicable to the review because it's way past PO time. IMO something along the lines of this is probably more representative. "Retail on the DX was $175 but they can't be had for that anymore. Average street value is currently $350 plus"
