SuperHobo Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Heh and some of you said it wouldn't be possible to get MB strike freedom before Thanksgiving. Congrats to you all. I on the other hand did not pay fast enough! HLJ shipping notice coming soon! They're double checking my order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 If I am lucky my MB Strike Freedom from HLJ should be here tomorrow, if not I definitely think it should be here on Fri-Sat not sure if the PO is open on Fri though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Both of my MB Strike Freedom's arrived today from CDJ and HLJ I was not expecting both of them to show up, although I never even started tracking the one from CDJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F360 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Well, now that some of you guys have the MB Strike Freedom for Thanksgiving, I think you should treat it like the turkey and cut it open. You don't want to miss that 10 day HLJ window of we'll fix this problem for ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joppewo Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Spent more than an hour to get it into this pose Had the worst feeling that I was going to break something in the process, especially getting the dragoons on the wing to open up Never touching it again Edited November 26, 2015 by joppewo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calubin_175 Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Watch out for scammers on Aliexpress selling MB Strike Freedom, Heine Destiny and Gold Frame for 108 USD. There are orders made but none of them have had feedback. Chances are, the seller is using this trick to borrow some money, then do some gambling and investment with it, and then in due time return the money back to the customers as a refund telling them that they could not source the figures. Once there were also some Chinese scammers selling MB Destiny brand new for 30k yen on Yahoo Japan Auction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizman Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Ooh there is and it even comes with the silly Mega Rider, thanks A7! Assault Kingdom is a smaller figure line with minimal paint apps and comes packaged with some gum, the figures usually run in the $20- $30 range.

Shukenzero Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 So...finally double dipped on the Strike Freedom...one Asian and one Japanese version. Identical as far as I can tell. Finally can have one out for display without worry of knocking it over etc! Christmas came early! Now all that's left is whether or not to pick up the VF-0S, seeing as I used money allocated for it for he MB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is there any distinct features to distinguish between the two? Or are people just being paranoid and its the same box? Kinda wondering the hoopla.

Kanedas Bike Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 ^Kind of curious about the difference of Asia and Japan releases too. I have one copy from HLJ in-hand and another pre-ordered from BBTS. -b. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chyll2 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I find it weird or puzzling that there is less review for MB Strike Freedom. I kind of remember when MB destiny was released, there are lots of written review that I regret it for not buying the said figure. I am still waiting for my MB SF.

F360 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 My Metal Build Strike Freedom finally arrived by good old registered SAL small packet from CDjapan. From all the stores that I have made purchases, Cdjapan's packaging is definitely at the top of the scale. Every box is always nice and sharp, each box gets individually bubble wrapping, then all the extra room gets fill with packaging paper, and the Shipping box is always a bit bigger.

Otherwise, it's identical. Really doubt that they would have different factories as the build is the same throughout.

That's weird, ive had the opposite experience with cdj. Ive ordered about five separate items from them, and four of those times its looked like someone stepped on the box. Better packing would have saved a couple of the items. I just assume anything I order from cdj is gonna be the opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good packaging can only protect so much , this also depends on where your package have been and how your local postal office sort and load the boxes . The worse is normally when it goes through a post office sub contractor facility that sort and load those boxes in containers . They will make that box Fit if you know what I mean. for me this normally happens when they sort my packages to east coast by mistake and when I get it , damage box for sure .
