Everything is a separate F***ing transaction. BTW has anyone gotten a solid price on what MS Sazabi is going to cost ? I keep seeing rumors between 12-1500. Only place i was able to see a price was on the website of the Luna Park thieves and they wanted 1300 Edited July 29, 2022 by 68whiskey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the USA MSRP will not be $1400 . Base on the recent USA pricing. It will be around $179-$189 USD,, now add TAX to that, .. it will probably be cheaper getting it from japan.

The original artwork that they based on is clearly battle damage,,.. But I still can't figure out why they though this battle damage should be purple dots . its like a game of paint balls, but with gundams. I feel the same, that is a bad move from them. They really made this Shield ugly,, lack of tempo markings. and white logo on white background. I want the new Shield not but not enough to pay an option part that I don't need for it.

I usually save them as a last resort , not a big fan of their price gouging and extra long wait times. Do you potentially want to split a set of option parts? Was going to buy 2 for dual cannons so I may not have a need for second shield Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my head canon the dots are intended to be the after glow of beam impacts absorbed by shield but somehow someone interpreted the dots as actual deco on the shield.

If i can secure 2 pre orders then Ill PM you and we will get this sorted out. Because MS Sazabi is going to be priority when it comes to pre orders this month.

This is the list of shops that I have which take credit cards (no way I'm putting this on PayPal and risking the 6mo protection) and sell MB stuff. Any of these to strike off the liost because they're sketchy? Any additional sources you guys can think of?

But the Metal Structure Nu Gundam was sold out pretty fast. @Chunky001 you can set a timer to the time the preorder starts in Japan time here: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/create If you select Tokyo and the time it starts (I haven’t followed the Sazabi preorder so I don’t know what the actual time is) the service should tell you when the timer runs out in your local time zone.

bleecher Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 I don't think a time has been listed for the Sazabi order, just the date. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up on the clock. I think I saw it was 4pm JST??? I think this usually the case. However, sometimes they change it. I missed the MB Hi-Nu preorder because it started an hour earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
