Yeah if I remember correctly for now it's a Fukuoka exclusive, but eventually they might release it through P Bandai just like the Yokohama one... Regardless I'm not buying it at that kind of price. The MSRP is basically 200 usd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the first RX78 to drop for $350 because hype. 8-9 months later when there were more on the market it was sitting sub $300. WIth the current Gundam market Im sure we will see more of these in circulation at a later time. On 6/15/2022 at 8:10 PM, no3Ljm said: Wow.

sjr Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I believe the 6/30 date may have been a placeholder. I'm seeing X-0 listings starting to pop up on PayPay and Rakuma. I'd bet buyers are getting shipping notifications. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cost probably went up With that being said I probably only want the Heliopolis version of Strike. A clean one without all the logos will be nice. Still hoping they release a rouge with Aile Striker Pack as per OG anime and a deactivated Strike with the trailer.
