    I got my premium version in yesterday at work, no way was I going to ship it to my house and get the look of "How much was that?" from my wife. I was very tempted to open it up and SWOOOSH it as I left the office with my phone playing the theme song.

    Third Party companies can be very inventive and have the ability to try different things without going through red tape. FansToys was able to make a complete set of Masterpiece scale dinobots and Iron Factory is continually releasing new characters in legends scale. I think third parties would do better than the official companies.

    A third party doing MOSPEADA is wishful thinking but I can see them doing a good job.

    Fanshobby is a great choice. They do the bulky and boxy designs well. Plus their transformers are meant to be played with.

    I feel a 3rd party company would have a good chance at making a decent Legoiss. Sentinel hasn't had the best track record with transforming figures. Besides the Ride Armor their other attempts haven't been successful.

    HLJ came through! I got my order confirmation!
  7. General Rasp
    Considering HLJ just got slammed with hundreds of orders withing one minute, it might take a little while for the confirmation emails.

    HLJ's system is solid, they still don't have any slow downs.
  9. General Rasp
    HLJ is LIVE!!

    I just noticed that NY has the Harrison F91 in stock for 25,500 yen and placed my order. Hurray!

    For anyone wanting the Metal Build Strike but can't make the pre-order time I recommend keeping an eye on https://www.eknightmedia.com/. They carry Metal Builds and I was able to get the 00 Gundam Seven/G when missed the pre-order window. They do get there shipments a month or two after release but at least you will have one.

    @mechaninac C looks great, I would be in for a couple. Looks like I am going to have to find some tamiya paint. Hopefully the paint is layered clear blue then smoke but I will have to test to make sure.

    Since you read the manga I recommend: 08th MS Team, 0080 War in the Pocket, 0083 Stardust Memory, Zeta Gundam (In that order) All of those are solid series. War in the Pocket is a little slow but short (total of six episodes). Zeta will look and feel dated compared the first three. There is a movie compilation for Zeta if you don't want to watch all 50 episodes. That is like phase one of the Gundam U.C. Timeline. After that you get ZZ Gundam, Char's Counter Attack (movie), Unicorn Gundam and F91 (movie). ZZ Gundam is a hard watch in my opinion. The first season is really rough and the second gets a little better. Definitely recommend CCA and F91, very good movies that should have had their own series. Gundam Thunderbolt is also great and happens during/after the One Year War. The thing with Thunderbolt is that the technology is really advanced for the time period and can be considered separated from the main U.C. canon. Also they have been releasing the manga, I say read manga if you have time then watch the anime. The manga flushes out a few more things than the anime. But that is my personal opinion. And if you want something a little more contained Gundam Wing, Gundam 00, Mobile Suit Iron-Blooded Orphans are really good. Both only have one main series (50 episodes) with a movie/OVA and are completely separate from the U.C timeline.

    Pre-orders for the Shield boosters and Hrududu sets are up at NY https://www.nippon-yasan.com/search.php?orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=gundam&submit_search=Search

    Thanks! And I fully intend to do a regular Hazel-Rah. Oh that is going to be an big P-Bandai order. I am really curious how far Bandai will take the A.O.Z kits. Will we see a MG Hazel Owsla, Woundwort, or Hyzenthlay?
  16. General Rasp
    Damn, I am going to be spending a lot on P-Bandai gunpla this year. Looks like the MG A.O.Z kits sold really well and any remaining MG Advanced Hazel pre-orders will be gone soon. Almost feel like I shouldn't even bother with the regular releases if they are going all out with A.O.Z suits. To get this setup I would need two HRUDUDU units and the shield booster set, correct? I have the MG Advanced Hazel on pre-order. I wonder if everything would actually stay together? I finished my MG Custom Hazel recently and impressed by how sturdy the kit is. It uses the MG Gundam 2.0 frame so that helps but I wasn't expecting it to stand up with the shield booster on the back.

    Come on HLJ, get the Robot Spirits Unicorn in my PW so I can ship Stig!
  18. General Rasp
    Has Bandai released any information for this version?
  19. General Rasp
    I really hope Bandai added ratcheted hips joints. Going to be a fun for pre-ordering and thank goddess it is a Friday night.
  20. General Rasp
    I hope so. Really kicking myself for missing the pre-order.
  21. General Rasp
    Well bugger.... Going to be paying extra for a Metal Robot again.

    I thought Thunderbolt was well done. Between IBO and Thunderbolt it was a nice departure from the series with pilots that don't kill with machines of war. I have been reading the manga as they come out and the first part sticks very true to the manga. During the music parts the anime works better. I am definitely getting the Bandit's Flower when it is released state side. Any sequels to Gundam 00 and IBO are always welcomed, along with Gundam Wing. It would be a nice remake of Gundam Wing to do the GoL and Frozen Teardrop. that would be so awesome to see, as long as they do not CG suits. It throws off the aesthetic when you drawn animation for everything except the mobile suits. The Exia R4 is cool expect for the naked arm, that doesn't make alot of sense unless armor or bits are added to it later. I would love to see an Exia Full Saber version, that would be awesome to see in action. https://www.rightstufanime.com/Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Thunderbolt-December-Sky-Blu-Ray Good price for a blu-ray. Not sure about streaming. Crunchyroll does not have it, hulu might.

    Paid for mine and looking forward to getting it next month. I missed the Yamato release and feel very fortunate to be able to get a re-release. This version might turn into a holy grail piece years down the line and didn't want to miss the chance to get one. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint when I open it.
  24. General Rasp
    It is unfortunate but does not surprise me that the ride armor feels fail. I can't see this being a toy you transform often. Hopefully the armor stays on the figure properly with secure connections once it is fully transformed.

    I would assume Stig would cover the gaps when riding the bike so they wouldn't be noticeable.
