kajnrig Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Oh, is this a 1/60 kit to go with the 1/60 Laevatein? I had a blast with that kit, and I had thought this one would go the way of the dodo (its last appearance was an unpainted prototype from a year or two ago). I'm glad to see it coming back. Hopefully there'll be a reissue of the Laevatein as well. So that's the two 1/60 Kotobukiya kits, the three Aoshima 1/48 re-issues plus their own Laevatein kit, the Almecha Arbalest, and the upcoming Metal Build Arbalest to go with the Metal Build Laevatein. Phew. Gonna have to stock up on ramen now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortech Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Dammit, why is Bandai releasing so much good stuff all at once. Wonder how quickly this will sell out, the Leviathan took a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how quickly this will sell out, the Leviathan took a while. But this is the Arbalest, so I'm pretty sure it'll sell out pretty quick. Beside, metal build is more well known now compare to before when the MB Laevatein released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakerbot Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 While I can't say it doesn't look good, I'm going to have to pass on this one. I'm trying to avoid spending too much on toys after my surgery, and Alter's Almecha version is pretty good already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loop Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) I know, too many good toys are coming out and they are all expensive. I think I'll try to get at least one of these although I really want 2. Edited October 22, 2017 by Loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperHobo Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 Oh yes, it will be mine. I have been waiting for a good sized, highly detailed, partially diecast Arbalest since 2006 when I first saw FMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortech Posted October 23, 2017 Share Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) CDjapan was actually cheaper then hlj by like $2, probably due to the difference in their conversion system. Scored 1 via hlj, and one at cdjapan. March is looking like it's gonna be an expensive month. Mospeada Stick, VF-31A's, and now MB Arbalest.

I sign up for their news letter, and they email me on every Bandai preorder night at around 16:00 jst with the items and links that's up for preorder. I just repost the link. They use to have super discount sales for just release items that they will email me too but I don't get those anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
