    The Zaku is still available at HLJ. I was able to Pre-order one. https://www.hlj.com/gundam-fix-figuration-metal-composite-ms-06c-zaku-ii-type-c-bans59081 Just waiting on the confirmation email.

    The Build Fighters and Divers shows have a completely different feel than shows like IBO or Gundam Thunderbolt. One is aimed at older audiences (like us) that have watched gundam for 20 years or more. Build Fighters and Drivers are meant to bring the younger audience into the genre and keep the fan base alive. This also is the same for the model kits. The ones from Build Fighters and Divers are much simpler for younger kids. It is an excellent marketing strategy to get new generations into the series. Which I imagine is why the majority of the kits from those series are HG. IIRC, only a few of the earlier designs were made into MG. So while some adults may watch the Fighters and Divers, Bandai isn't marketing those suit designs to adults. As such no Metal Builds have been made from Fighters or Divers. If they ever do I imagine it would be under P-Bandai.

    I wouldn't count on NY helping you out. I purchased a new Metal Build Astraea from them and it was missing an armor piece. NY wouldn't exchange the gundam or refund the money (even in store credit). I went thru my credit card company and they pushed the return through, and then NY locked my account. The best part is that the CC refunded the transaction and any possible interest. I then bought a new one off of ebay for $150 less.

    No, not yet. I keep checking the site to see if they will open up the orders to US customers once they get their stock in.

    Has anyone who pre-ordered thru Amazon been billed yet?
  8. General Rasp
    Damn, actually went back up on preorder and missed it. Going to gamble with Amazon Japan and hopefully will get one.

    I emailed BlueFin asking if they will be opening pre-orders for the Wing Gundam Snow White. Below is there response. "Hello, Thank you for inquiring, we appreciate the suggestion. Please follow us on social media for updates, events and exclusives! Thank you, Bluefin Customer Service" I have a feeling we will be able to pre-order through BlueFin.

    The RX-78 Origin is the same quality. There are a few different versions out but the only difference are the tampo decals. The most recent version is the 40th anniversary and was released a month before the Zaku. I highly recommend the RX-78.

    If they do a Wing Zero I hope they could also do Epyon. I would love to have that sweet set in GFFMC styling on my shelf.

    I fine that interesting that some of the Astrea Type-F copies have been floppy and not up the metal build standard. My copy doesn't have any issues. All of the joints were tight or too tight out of the box, but that is consistent with my other Metal Builds. The joints haven't sagged over time either (knock on wood). My copy is from the first batch and maybe the second had problems. The only metal build I have had a problem with is the Astrea Proto. The first one I bought was missing an armor panel and was returned for a refund. Just my two cents.

    It is so easy to spend money on Metal Build. They are my favorite figures and simply the best version of that suit. If you are curious about the shows I can PM some suggestions to get started.

    Kinda bummed we didn't see any new Metal Build Crossbone Gundams. Would have preferred an X-3 or Full Cloth other the night version EVAs. While they are cool, separate releases of weapon sets would be nice instead of having to buy a re-color to get them.

    OMG!!!! YES!!! Love the those Doms!! Going to need to two and build out the GM custom squad. Definitely have to pick up the Xamel now when it is released.

    I wonder if preorders will be available on Bluefin's website.

    If you are looking for more Ride Armors they only have Scott and Rey out. Lancer will hopefully be released before the end of the year. The other offerings from Sentinel have been discontinued for awhile. Poking around different websites will be you bet to find stock. I have had luck on Ebay also. I would personally recommend any of their Getters. They are some of the best designs and build quality. Haven't needed new versions since it bought them.

    Correct. Works the same way as the Option Set for the MB Astrea Type F.

    I remember catching a few episodes of the show when I was younger but never knew what was doing on. I just liked the armor designs and the Riobot version is tempting.
  21. General Rasp
    Hurrah!! I am not the only one who loves the EVA TV series!!

    I can see Bandai doing the ZZ Gundam with FA as a P-bandai kit. That setup wasn't cannon in the series.
  23. General Rasp
    I think they look small because of the extra armor and huge weapons.

    I got my Max in yesterday from Amazon Japan. Just need some time to open it!
