NPT333 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Is there any good way to get p bandai in the US besides the actual store? I haven't been collecting for the past five years so I am not familiar with the current methods of procurement these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scyla Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 The Kaempfer was up for preorder at Anime Export but sold already out in approximately 2 minutes. I read somewhere that Bandai is cracking down on proxy stores for TWE items so maybe this is a sign that Anime Export can’t acquire as much stock as in the past so that is why it sold out so quickly.

lechuck Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 For anyone that is still looking -> https://kuramatoys.com/metal-build-kampfer-action-figure/. Pass for me, that's a $40 higher markup compared to AE. 2 hours ago, Scyla said: The Kaempfer was up for preorder at Anime Export but sold already out in approximately 2 minutes.

Yep, I have read that too and surprised AE is already out of stock. Hopefully it's just a popularity thing for the Alex and not Bandai cracking down.

They prices are generally higher than most so thats normal for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is always the possibility picking it up on the secondary market, or if it is really that popular opening preorders for a second batch. I'm still surprised it sold out that quickly.

I want a Haze'n-thley II damn it. heck I'd buy a metal robot Inle if they were so crazy as to do that. RX-124 Gundam TR-6 [Inle]. That would be something. But first, Plain or with Booster? And to be clear, we're talking Metal Robot Damashii '1/144' scaling, right? This is going to be bigger than Metal Build GN-Arms, that's for sure. Would be nice right if it's bundled with Metal Robot Damashii TR-6 Kehaar II x6. (1/144 TR-6 Inle custom scratchbuilt photos from gockel3 on X.) As much as I want it, I don't think I'll be able to get one. But for now, I don't mind Bandai to add RGM-79SR on their Metal Robot Damashii A.o.Z. lineup. Not a big GM fan, but for A.o.Z., I'll make an exemption. Edited October 2, 2023 by no3Ljm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big s Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Was just on the p Bandai U.S. site and they still have stock for preorder. I guess that price tag is a real turn off for people.

The Maximum Perfect Strike (AP Ver.). I don't really like Ootori Pack that much. Looks too busy for me as is. And seeing with all the Striker Packs attached to it makes it busier. I just prefer the minimum version of the Perfect Strike backpack. And if Bandai will not do it, I hope some third party company will add that option on the existing KO Aile Pack design. If only I can do custom work, I already gotten a MG Perfect Strike kit and convert it for MB use. But I'm not.
