Heads up for BF preorders, maybe BF is lying because selling directly means more profit for them. This is from a seller on facebook:

"OK so I talked with Bluefin & yes they will be offering it but only to certain dealers & it will be heavily allocated. I will get some but only a handful.. as usual I will post a date & time on when my PO will go live on my SupremeCollector BST page.. According to my sales rep they were not suppose to sell any last night on their website, so very likely that anyone who ordered direct from Bluefin will get cancelled.. Which is a very good cause what they're doing is very shady practices"

I see which is what most of us figured since in order to buy stuff of their website is to sign in and only dealers  can apply  so them selling directly to customers was strange but they did this when the Nu Gundam was up for sale. DID this seller did state when we can expect orders to start?

Because

Where did you get that news? Besides the Metal Builds, how can they shut down the site and not to stock it when they have preorder items for next year release? 

 

Here is the link unless this is different store

Whoa. Nippon-Yasan has this for Y11000+ more.

Not surprising though.

The bandi premium website will be shutting down next month so I dont think they will stocking it . But are they planing on reelasing all the metal build gundam they showcased in the exhibit?

Wow they removed the whole page. They must've got into work and realized the glitch. Even with the Nu Gundam, they left the page up with an Out of Stock notice. 

There were no photos, limits on order, or descriptions. I smell plenty of refunds coming. 

Probably I was even surprised they sell to individuals I though they sell to retailers only. Either way thr retailers would be pissed if we bought the whole stock and cut them out.

Hlj is already out along time ago.

available again at N-Y.... for 160k, lol

They are ridiculous.  Why stop there they should just sell it for an even $2,000 let's round up make a nice even number 

I wish they would have just made a fix figuration of this iconic gundam and we could have gotten a sazabi also in fix figuration metal build and it would have been awesome the chances are that this is a one off

To be honest, I hate stuff that are web exclusive since it's always pay upfront. But the good thing most of the time is that you can preorder it without worries compared to regular release. And as always separating accessories to be sold out separately afterwards via TWE is always been a d!ck move by Bandai. But that's how they do their business so we really can't do anything about it.

And just so you know, not because they put it up on preorder it already means they already made a handful of them. They probably have but those are prototypes and production ready ones. And let's say they made a handful, it doesn't mean that they're going to release it ahead of the release date.

 

Yeah I hear you , I guess bandi does not really care about the non jap market. I saw this thing at least a year and a half ago I though it mount be half the price but then boom it's up for preorder and sold out with in seconds its becoming  pointless to keep up with bandi preorders .

I am only familiar with bbts and gundam planet as us importers and the later does not always get items in stock. I know BBTS has gotten bandi exclusive items  but this thing would be useless with out the funnels as if it some kind of accessory it part of the suit why would they make it a web exclusive is dumb.

So they advertise it and open it up for preorder with in 24 hours they must have made like a handful of them.

So what are the chances of somebody in the us selling g it like BBTS  selling it. Or is this like like ultra rare item

Rx sold out every has Nippon but it ip.

So maybe somebody already mentioned this but will they make the TV fast pack version also , that's the one I really need to this dyrl version. 

Is Amazon Japan no longer shipping to the us ?

I tried to order from them them the vehicle voltron it said it could not ship to us despite me purchasing the vf j from there

Has Amazon posted all I see are third party

Less stress indeed, however it's double the cost of Bandai's DX valks.

The line has to drawn somewhere.

Yeah but its bigger toy and well yamato used to reasonably priced now Arcadia is just maxing out . I am not they will make anything after this maybe just rereleased ala premium finish but no new molds

This is how orders should be so much relaxing just makes me hate bandi even more

Who has the cheapest shiping

2 out of 2 , play-Asia fail to deliver my valk preorders in the pass .  So I would not recommend them .  

 

Did they send an email tell you they could not full fill the order and then turn around and sell it for a mark up on their website. I had it happen with another small time shop in japan.

I filed a claim when they failed to send me my eva metal build figure and sending me a tracking number that never pulled up anything shady stuff going around

No problemo! For that price this better thing be solid in every way possible. 

It's been 10 years since the old one have they done any modifications to the mold or diecast . Anything?  Because its looking exactly the same

I've used Play-Asia before, they are pretty good. But if you get something damaged, it takes a bit to get it resolved sometimes.

Do they price hike like NY

How is this so much more easier Bandi really sucked the joy of collecting.
