So Bandai has acknowledged the paint mismatch issue on God Gundam shoulders and will be sending out replacements (locals only).

So international customers that purchased from a Japanese based store are screwed then?

Yup or contact the proxy service/site you purchased from to see if they can do something for you.

Looks like there is a re-issue of the metal build gn arms type-e:

frakking finally.  I need more SEED. Also I completely missed the 1.5 being available to pre-order. Was it a web shop exclusive?

It seems the Impulse will be lottery based

imagine if they sell the parts separately? like the sword striker pack?

 

I'd get the feet and legs first and maybe the chest next...

Guess that's another reissue. I've got the "noble color" version. I'll stick with that one.

[lechuck]

My hopes were raised for a split second only to be crushed.

Nowhere on that scan does it state that the GFFMC Wing Zero EW is getting a reissue, it's just talk of posing it like in the 30th trailer and the square box only contains release dates for other items.

I don't keep up with Metal Robot Spirits, but the MRS Z Plus A1 (Test Image Color) got listed on PBUS:

EDIT: Okay, I see that they've (PBUS) listed the A1/A2 (C1/C2 Compatible Ver.) in the past:

As well as the Z Gundam III version:

[davidwhangchoi]

[Gab]

Avoid that EVA. Quickly got loose joints on mine.

So this is what it means when you do an Impulse buy? 😁

Impulse looks good. I think I am fine with the three (?!?) main variants out of which I like the Sword Impulse the best. A mostly red and white Gundam just does it for me.

I’m still sad we never got the red MB Seven Sword and I hope someday we will get an MB Build/Try Burning Gundam.

Another question. How many rounds of preorders were there for the MB God Gundam and what were/are the release dates.

I am only aware of the first batch for the August 2025 release (the one with the shoulder paint issue).

 If I remeber correectly, there were 3 preorder windows for the God Gundam

 

As for the Impulse...Im worried it will be a little fragile due to the transforming gimmick and also, the neck seems a little bit low

I don't know why Bandai even bothers with listing shop redirects for EU and Latin America, they barely care making MBs available in these markets. 🙄😒

Thanks for the replies. Every time I try to navigate the Tamashii Nations site I get an aneurysm. I don’t even know how to get to the view @lechuck showed, even from the link that was shared. 
 

[edit:] Aha, I need to switch to the Japanese site.
