68whiskey Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Too Many joints... the arms/legs are attached to the main body via this weird bar system and when you put the armor on the range of motion gets limited. Look at this video at 2:45-2:55 and youll see it. Its cool but unless its on that stand you might not get the advertised range of motion. the rear lower leg armor pops off with any movement too and the rear mid back thrusters are nice and wobbly.

pafy6285 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 FYI, those looking for MB strike noir, a lot of postings right now on JP markets (YAJ, rakuma, mercari) at a more "reasonable" price (around 35k more or less). I believe this is the June batch release of MB strike noir. Additionally, Buyee has a 20% discount right now on rakuma, mercari so a significant discount if you're getting it from there. I believe there's also the 5000 yen discount coupon for international shipping until June 30 so more discount if you're able to ship it before then.

bakerjin Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I know that TWE releases like Strike Noir will always demand crazy after market prices after release; what about PBandai releases like the GN Arms? I skipped on the pre-order initially due to lack of space, but I ordered a Moducase earlier this year and now I'm wishing I placed my pre-order. Will I just need to wait til it releases and check out Mandarake or AmiAmi for second hand orders? I'm gonna guess shipping will be astronomical haha.

General Rasp Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 If anyone did purchase the GN Arms from AmiAmi or other overseas shop, I would love to know how much shipping was. I regret not getting the P-Bandai and want to save up for a second hand purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Pretty interesting video by MADWorks on the GFFMC WZC (Nobel color.) They looks at the work put into finishing the GFFMC and how much time is needed to recreate the finish with a model kit to determine if the price from P-Bandai matches the value.

Mommar Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Bandai have so many different lines these na.es can get co fusing if you're just starting out. Since I grabbed that Heat Boys Leonardo I wanted to compare it with something else. Looks like I should have got that Deathscythe (personal favorite) but wasn't sure what I was looking at.

At that price , I think I’d be happy just getting their high grade kit for a fraction of a fraction of the cost. I used to play Keith Courage in Alpha Zones back in the day and that’s basically my attachment to the design. I never watched the old anime or played the original version of the game, but maybe one day I’ll at least check out the anime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dragon Scale side lines don't have the same demand as the Gundams so usually I find them for decent prices after release, especially if it's not a must-have I just wait and see.
