(pay upfront) here? I was able to secure one at cdj as they opened po window almost 6 hours before any other retailer and was in stock for close to an hour. I stayed up to try and get a cheaper order through a amiami and hlj and both sold out within seconds... Along with every other site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to be a bad guy here, but now I'm wishing that some 3P company should make a Metal Build scale of this and price it affordably. Fin Funnels and Effects included. Even a 1/72 Nu from moshow would be a no brainer for most here...i'm not knocking bandai for what they are doing, they are running a business afterall...jus not my cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey728 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 They do charge tax. I just ordered a Mospeada Stick fig from them but wasn't charged tax... yet. They might add it when I choose to ship it. Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Still puts it about even with ordering from HLJ, so not bad at all.

Lolicon Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 I can afford it, but as I thought about it, I concluded that I would be buying a $1000 statue (or paperweight, depending on your perspective). A toy this expensive I would barely handle at all, so as not to damage it even a little bit, not even minor wear and tear from just being handled as a toy. And I'm not a big enough Gundam fan to drop that much money for a statue. I'll continue waiting for a Metal Build Nu Gundam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErikElvis Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) Big gundam looks good but I’d be a little afraid about how the joints are gonna hold up. Kinda new territory.

F360 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Since they already have the framework, I can see a Perfect Grade Rx-93 incoming in the future. yeah, 1/100 scale would work great..... if they make one for their Metal Composite line, I will buy it for sure.

It's made to stand all day , everyday ,looking at it's best in the most normal standard pose possible. The main articulations are all in the movable parts of it's armor, pistons, and detail on top of detail parts sandwich together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey728 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I fully expect pre-orders of this item to start opening up again as the release date draws near just like the SDF-1 PF did. That's a lot of money to drop down on something like this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought when I posted the image before a day this got an official annoucement did, it's going to be 1/35. Didn't expect that it's just the same as Perfect Grades. Not that I'm concerned knowing that I didn't went online last night and I'm not planning on getting it. So that's $1K savings for me. I love Nu-Gundam but not $1K crazy. Peer pressure, my friend? I'm just surprised that Bandai announced a regular release item the same day they open it for preorder. Love to hate, Bandai. Love to hate. the Nu Gundam is my fav mobile suit / mecha. But Right now I cant spend 1k for me it would be around 1500 canadian then shipping yeah no that is just unacceptable. There will be other options and that is good for us cheap bastards that have other fiduciary priorities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eXis10z Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Given that size it's hard to display it in a dynamic pose, I'm guessing most will display it in a museum pose with that mechanic bay as per youtube video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scyla Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm interested how this Metal Structure turns out. At the moment it is too expensive for not knowing on what it can to. So I'm looking forward to the first review. I wonder if they would do a Hi-Nu as a Metal Structure release since the Hi-Nu is my favorite UC Gundam suit. Obviously I would prefer the Nu, Hi-Nu and Sazabi as a 1/100 releases since they fit better in my collection but I could see me buying one of those as a one off, end all be all of all Mobile Suits toys.

Big s Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 There’s a teaser picture of a rd ver anime Xamel going around. I’m surprised they didn’t just do a zaku f2 or dom tropen for the zeon from 0083. Instead they decided to pull out the big guns and I’m totally ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
