anime52k8 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 But since Nadleeh and Virtue are two Gundams in one, expect a double wait. who's looking forward to 2053? 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A proxy like From Japan, except I can actually still get P-Bandai orders through them. it’s going to be the same price at every proxy, roughly, excepting Zen Market because they charge a percentage.

no3Ljm Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Gundam Astraea II? Interesting. Also, it looks like the XN Raiser's combined GN Buster Sword III. Does that mean there might be a possibility of an official XN Raiser down the line? I'll probably wait for that.

I totally forgot about this clip. I always remember the other one where they feature Type-X Finsternis. Having rewatching the whole clip again, towards the end where it shows the Type-D lineart, they mentioned optional parts are now being 'in development'. That means there's no initial plans on re-release this as as Type-D unit but instead they're just going to release an optional parts to create Type-D. Bandai wants people to buy multiple Type-E from the get-go. That way, if they decided not to release Type-D optional parts, we're screwed.

no3Ljm Posted May 23, 2023 Author Share Posted May 23, 2023 Hacchaka's review on Metal Robot Damashii Nu Gundam (Double Fin Funnel Type) https://hacchaka.net/archives/52095302.html According to Hacchaka it's possible to install the 6 Funnels on one side like the original Nu. However, there is no saber rack on the backpack. How I still wish it's the regular Nu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If shipping from AE is about 50$ one could save about 30$ lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing is why split the bundle when using a weird color that might not match with anything else? Im worried its going to turn out like the Crossbone X-0 with the "Hey , im going to show you this color but slide in a different shade upon release" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that said photo is taken recently from stores, they should've replaced the old Metal Structure Nu plate that says 'In Stores' with 'Released'.
