How does it stack up against the Fix Figuration? Specifically the Unicorns (which I'm not too impressed with). Thanks! Just beware of the possibility of the gold coating wearing off after too much handling. Chinese reviewers recommend gloves when handling it to reduce chances of it happening as well as fingerprints, etc. Edited November 20, 2019 by eXis10z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the white Metal Build F-91 and the beam shield can get knocked off even if you look at it the wrong way. Mine seems ok but not very tight.

Maybe Legend will still be released. The metal build lineup has been stuck with rehashes. I love seed and seed-d, thereâs a Chinese limited metal robot strike freedom coming.  Also Iâd love to see legend and akatsuki space package coming too. Finally there are lots of seed series of gundams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Later pre-ordered in Bandai China official T-mall store. For now it is only sold in China. The color is like Metal Build Soul Blue Strike Freedom.

Well they do produce some KOs like MC so I understand. It's ok. but this one is bandai's and I don't see it on Bandai's Japanese website. It says pre-announced in China but I don't see any other regions to sell it for now since it is PO in Auguest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brouken Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Hey guys! I've been bitten by the Metal Build bug and have pre-ordered the Alternative Red Frame Kai. I also picked up the MB Blue Frame Astray and the Gunbarrel Striker from Mandarake. I'm considering getting an MB Strke as well. Is there a difference between the MB Aile Strike and the MB Strike Infinity? Will the Alternative packs (like the CALETVWLCH, Flight Unit Option Set, and upcoming Striker and Sword Packs) fit on either? Thanks!

I am afraid you will need that adapter. All ashtrays share same connection but different from strike. But the sword and launcher pack which will be announced soon should have the adapter for both strike and astray to use it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it is speculation I admit. But in either PB strikeâs blade or PB new astrayâs flight unit Bandai gives an adapter to allow strike to use astrayâs flight unit. As Bandai is trying to put strike and astray share common equipments, it is a fair guess I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
