    I wonder if a blue metallic paint would work better than the silver. Maybe the visor lines would be more subtle.

    Nice to see that this is actually shipping! Hopefully there will be some reviews up soon.

    Getting the option set should be too hard to get. Nippon-Yasan and BiginJapan already have pre-orders up. The part that hurts is the price. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/24723-metal-robot-damashii-side-ms-wing-of-light-himat-full-burst-effect-set-limited-edition.html https://www.biginjap.com/en/completed-models/20489-metal-robot-damashii-side-ms-wing-of-light-hi-mat-full-burst-effect-set.html BBTS should also have a pre-order up later in the month, but it will much more expensive. Big in Japan had the Metal Robot Infinite Justice for $175 shipped, BBTS was $224. I can't speak to how hard it will be to get the Strike freedom itself if you don't have one already.

    Very tempting ........
  5. General Rasp
    That is possible. Also part the reason we haven't seen a MB Justice (Infinite or otherwise) could be due to the engineering for the backpack. At 1/100 -ish scale the flight unit would have a lot weight for the suit hold. The MG is restricted to using a stand because of that. I am sure the Metal Robot will be the same so you could be very right that is it a feeler. And all the strike versions you listed is exactly why we are getting a Metal Build Strike. One general mold with a few variations gets them a whole plethora of figures. The only two I would get are the Strike Noir and IWSP versions. It will be nice to save some money from the Metal Build line for awhile. I hope they do the Crossbones too and alternate releases. The Blue frame 2nd Revise would be nice too see also. Doesn't it use a similar weapon pack that was released with the Red Frame?

    I would prefer them in the Metal Robot line actually. The smaller scale would work better for display and shelf space. I really like what they have been doing with the line, they aren't skipping on details. To me they look like smaller Metal Build robots and they have the gimmicks. With my shrinking shelf they work better for me if I was going to do a whole team. I was tempted to pick up a few high grades awhile back but read they weren't the best. It is a shame bandai normally doesn't fill out whole teams often.

    FYI, if anyone is interested in the Metal Robot Infinite Justice get it from Japanesse sites. BBTS has their pre-order up and they are price gouging, $244.99 . http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/71846

    I much rather see 00 designs that Seed designs any day. And I can't see what else they could do after the Metal Build Astraea release in May. Maybe a few option sets but they have to be running low on 00 stuff. Hopefully they will release some photos of the Metal Build Crossbone gundam. I won't mind see that design for the next three years.
  9. General Rasp
    Damn, I still havent got billed. Hopefully they didnt get shorted on pre orders.
  10. General Rasp
    Has anyone recieved notifications about their Strike Freedom from HLJ?
  11. General Rasp
    I feel we will get a Zeta plus hummingbird this year or next at the rate they are doing Sentinel suits. There is no way the C1 Zeta plus was a one time deal. I am hoping when the do release them both won't be P-Bandai.
  12. General Rasp
    HMmmmmmm....... a bit of price increase from the Strike Freedom (11,700 yen) to the Infinite Justice (14,000 yen). Still getting it but I am glad they are spacing these guys out. Debating whether I should one form the Japan web stores or wait for BBTS. I think i would rather go with BBTS as long as the mark up isn't stupid high. $170 - $180 would be reasonable. And it looks like Gundam Sentinel is getting more Metal Robot Damashii love http://www.taghobby.com/archives/268878
  13. General Rasp
    Does nippon yassan offer any discounts on shipping if you group orders together? I am debating whether to separate pre-orders or group all of them in one order. The model kits I am looking all come out within a month or two of each other. Or forget them and go with USA gundam store or BBTS.
  14. General Rasp
    Great choice with the RG GP01! That is a solid kit and still one of my favorites. If you planned on painting the beam rifle lens I recommend doing that first before inserting it into the beam rifle. There is no good way to remove the lens after it is installed. And carefully with the head antenna, the plastic is very thing and easily broken or stressed.
  15. General Rasp
    That makes much more sense. Do you like the Monster plant version of that Godzilla? I watched the movie on Netflix and thinking about getting the Monsterarts.
  16. General Rasp
    Nice pick from TRU. That can't be a Monsterarts, right?
  17. General Rasp
    Is that the Full Armored version? The Thunderbolt gundam is jealous.
  18. General Rasp
    Yeah, it is the pay upfront that is a bummer. That is why I go with BBTS when I can with P-Bandai stuff. As long as the markup isn't ridiculous.
  19. General Rasp
    Yes, the flying Gouf is from 08th MS Team.

    Tamashii posted a preview of the Metal Robot Damashii Strike Freedom Gundam. http://blog.livedoor.jp/tamashii_robot/22477264201818 It looks really good and looking forward to getting it later. But as I scroll down to the end I see this: That figures , one of the reasons I pre-ordered the SF is for the Infinite Justice they teased awhile ago. Oh well, hopefully bbts won't have a big markup on it. After scrolling through the blog post I had one question, Can the Metal Build be displayed with the Dragoons "firing"?
  21. General Rasp
    Well, guess I will be staking bbts for awhile. Hopefully they won't have a big markup and I can get two.
  22. General Rasp
    Same, but Bandai is being very smart with the Metal Build line. They have only done mobile suits were they can use the frame multiple times. That probably cuts down on cost somewhere. Honestly I think that is a good move and make sense that they are doing the Crossbone gundam next with the multiple variants it has. Might be why they released the F91 and the Crossbone could use a similar frame. I can see them doing the Nu and Hi-Nu gundam. It is possible they could use the Sazabi frame for other bulky suits, the line needs some Zeon suits.
  23. General Rasp
    The delays suck but at least we have a good chance the ride armor will be a quality piece. I rather wait to have a solid toy than pay $175 for something with flaws. Hopefully it will be worth. Sorry to the people who have other pre-orders tied up with Stig and Rey.

    ^^Please post some pictures when you get this guy opened!
