I'm still waiting on the regular version I ordered but seeing the lance of longinus has me very interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuma Style Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 So finally got the full article and gallery up for the Metal Structure Nu Gundam; https://kumastyledesigns.com/metal-structure-nu-review/ Â Full article breaks it down but overall I gave it a 6.5/10. Â Here's a copy and paste of the final score comments: Overall Score: 6.5/10 â The Bandai Metal Structure RX-93 is a very unapologetic display piece with just enough articulation to keep it from being considered a statue but personally comes out to be a big disappointment in this area. Ultimately it appeals to a particular crowd who are it seems are ultimately just looking for a big, pretty Nu Gundam to have displayed in the hangar which is more than fine but in my opinion this didnât need to have any diecast or articulation in general. With that, I feel itâs a piece with features that are ultimately âfluffâ for the sake of having driven up the price for a piece that could have been an extremely nice statue at an even larger scale for half of the price. Unless the next release in this line really shows that itâs bringing more to the table, Iâll be sticking to the Bandai Metal Build and Fix Figuartion Metal Composite lines going forward. Here are come pics from the gallery portion: Â Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuma Style Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Honestly if I liked the headsculpt better I'd buy every deco because it's a solid figure but there's no color that can possibly make me like it. It's unfortunate because I freaking love Eva 02. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Rasp Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 If Bandai is going to do repaints (which was going to happen sooner or later) P-bandai is the appropriate outlet for them. It's a bummer we aren't getting a new Eva since there are plenty still to do. Maybe Bandai is planning on doing repaints as P-bandai releases and have the regular figures as general releases. It would have been nice if Bandai gave us the option to purchase the spear separately, I would have paid P-bandai prices for one. Hopefully we will get an actual new Eva later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely grab a MB of that if it ever came around. Really wish they'd also do a MB Double X Gundam but I suspect that's an aquired taste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're importing it and probably getting it through a proxy hence the big mark up. I don't see the issue with it due to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-Zer0S Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 At that price you might as well buy a regular version and get a 3rd party lance lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBTS is charging a $200 mark up to include proxy fee, shipping and profit. I have shipped Metal Builds for $30-ish, EMS. I would bet bulk freight would be much cheaper. And proxy fees run maybe $20 on the high end. BBTS is making a good profit off of these pre-orders, on top of the non-refundable payment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So add that to the mark up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
