It says Walkure is unstoppable! Still trying to decipher the rest. It does have the words Armored in the text body so I guess its explaining the release dates?
-
Yay! Armor parts and Chuck's 31E! I'm all in for both! But...what's Arad doing with Chuck's armored pack?
-
Hehe, I don't mind it being a TWE release, Noel. Being one of the few that didn't preorder the 31A, I missed out on the frustration of waiting a year for the order to be fulfilled. Hopefully, lightning won't stike the same place twice.

Seeing the Hot Toys re-issue of the Mark 44 Hulbuster with Deluxe Parts, how I wish Bandai would have gone all the way and released a renewal deluxe Figuarts x Chogokin Mark 44 that could fit a Figuarts Mark 43 inside, or at least even an opening chest gimmick that had a Mark 44 bust inside. That ain't going to happen I suppose. Sigh. -
If we're lucky, Bandai has the VF-31A Arad Custom down the pipeline somewhere, along with the 31A Armored Parts from the Movie. I'd be up for the pre-order madness for that.

Got my first Metal Build in the form of the Gundam F91, plus its MSV Option Parts! The MB Eva-01 would have been my first, but I just couldn't resist getting the F91, especially after seeing a good deal on Mandarake Nagoya for the set. It also makes sense that this would be my first MB, since F91 was the first Gundam that I ever watched. Down the rabbit hole we go!
-
VF-31S Arad Custom all day! Just wait till they release the Armored Pack for it.

Too bad NY doesn't have a private warehouse option like HLJ. Then again, that might have been a conscious decision on NY's part, knowing they can earn a little more from separate shipping charges. No pay later items cannot be combined with other orders either. Sucks for us unfortunately.

War Machine Mk.4 is now available for pre-order at NY. No pay later option though. Ouch! https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/26484-shfiguarts-war-machine-mk-4-avengers-infinity-war-limited-edition.html

I have both the 31JKai and DXYF-19. The Kai is just a repaint of the 31j, with four reaction missiles included. The YF-19 is a slightly reworked 19Advance, with a lot of different ordinances plus the fold booster pack. The 31Kai was shown only in one episode of Delta, and was not shown in the Movie. The 19 is of course the main hero valk in Plus. Between the two, disregarding the toys' engineering, the obvious choice for me is the 19.

Got my YF-19 from Amiami yesterday! Did a quick check, and my copy's antenna is unbroken. Woot! Haven't had time to check anything else though. Will check the tail fins to see if their mounting points are misaligned. +1 on Bandai making a DX YF-21 to go along with this.

Now also available at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/26299-soul-of-chogokin-gx-86-space-battleship-yamato-2202.html. Its cheaper by almost 5k yen, but that shipping cost...
-
GX-86 now available for pre-order at HLJ: https://hlj.com/chogokin-damashii-gx-86-space-battleship-yamato-2202-bans55265 Even though I have the 2199 version, I couldn't resist double dipping for the 2202 version. I'm intrigued by those remote controlled turrets .
-
Ooh! An new Yamato SOC! That price though....makes me glad that I was able to score the 2199 version for USD 150. So pre-orders next week on 1 October?
-
Wow, didn't know there was such demand for a Fokker-type Gundam.
-
-
I hope this is a sign of more UC era Metal Builds to come. I would like a Metal Build Double Zeta based on the MG Ver. Ka, but I could settle for a Mk II if they are only doing non-tranformables.
-
Anybody get a payment notification from Amiami yet? My lone pre-order for the DX YF-19 is with them, and I'm getting worried that they haven't asked for payment yet, considering this will be released in a couple of days.

If my Nihongo serves me right, the disclaimer says something to the effect of: "items pictured that are not part of the Iron Man Mark 50 Nano Weapons Set (Avengers Infinity War) are sold separately". Take note that the disclaimer is only made in the pics where parts are mixed and matched with the Iron Man Mark 50 first release. The pics where the Mark 50 is shown wearing the backpack, double swords, and modified leg armors does not show the disclaimer. Also, there are no pics showing the nano parts detached, which Bandai normally shows for products that are meant to supplement a separate product. Finally, a quick translation by Google on the Tamashii product page of the contents of the package says as follows: 　Main product content 　· Iron Man Mark 50 body (wing, both hands, both feet are attached with weapons) 　· Complete set Hence, it's my reasonable assumption that the Nano-weapons set DOES come with another Mark 50, except with different lower legs, thus the asking price. For the price, I also would have liked to for Bandai to have included more of the nano weapons shown in the movie (i.e. the shield, battering rams, repulsor beam amplifying funnels, and other variations of the nano swords), just like the Hot Toys version, instead of paying for another Mark 50 figure. I'm thinking that Bandai is probably considering releasing a third variant of the Mark 50, packaged with the other nano weapons, just to...you know...make more money?
-
Looks like the Nano weapon Set has a separate Mk 50 with different lower legs, hence the high price. Great way for Bandai to reuse the mold somewhat, and make an additional profit by selling it with the weapons set. That hasn't stopped me from pre-ordering it though.

Are they re-issuing the Renewal Messiahs? How come Alto's DX VF-25F is on display along with the DX YF-19? https://twitter.com/T_KOTEN_Q/status/1038599921073410049

Saw the movie. Overall, it was....meh. Storywise, the Frontier Movies were superior. Action was okay (better than the TV series overall), and the footage of the Armored Siegfrieds is some good, although familiar, eye-candy. (Can't shake the feeling that they've re-purposed some animation from Ozma's Armored Messiah). I hope they make an announcement for the armored parts soon!

While I enjoy this toy collecting hobby immensely, I'm saddened by the blatant profiteering involved in it. I feel sorry for those who were not able to get toys like these at close to retail price. Capitalism at its worst.

Hehe, beat me to it. Got the email notification too from NY. Almost double the initial PO price that they posted.
