there's currently a lot of posting in YAJ, mercari, etc. Though it's currently being sold around 50k yen for just the metal composite. Many postings are selling it bundled with the MG kit, gashapon, etc (so making those more expensive to get).

Metal composite is similar to Metal build (on recent releases; early Metal composite I would say is less premium than metal builds). Main difference is that metal composite is for suits/gundams designed by Katoki, and stay true with the original design/lineart (compared to Metal builds which can be a stylized interpretation). Most of Katoki's work are in UC and Wing (Endless Waltz), thus you see suits from those series under the Metal Composite Line. Nowadays, it has the same quality as Metal build (and sometimes better) and both are usually around 1/100 scale (I think technically they're non-scale)

noticed that chogokin Sazabi is being sold at around 30k yen (brand new) or even less. Isn't the MSRP around 40k yen IIRC. So I guess it binned just like with Chogokin Nu (though I think its value recovered now)

It looks like amiami is doing a lottery for their JP site: https://form.amiami.jp/draw20241001

The 1/20 valks are under the Plamax line and the same with other Max Factory products, they're always produced in limited amounts (usually to meet preorders and maybe some extra). And considering the size and price (and shipping) of this kit, it's possible that there's just a small amount of preoders made.

there's the metal robot Zeta (https://myfigurecollection.net/item/907051) and also other Zeta/Zeta plus variants.
-
well that sucks if that's the case. It's possible that the period to get the coupon might have ended earlier
-
was it not available when you visited the coupons page? I think the coupons should be available for all regardless of account standing.

Buyee currently has a 20% discount coupon for the Toys > Anime figures category in Mercari till the 29th (Japan time). Metal build figures (and other figures) are usually under that category, so if you're looking to get Kampfer close to JP retail price, this is your chance (assuming the item is under the said category for the discount). Kampfer is currently priced at around 50k yen in Mercari, so with a 20% discount, it would be around 40k yen. Do note that the coupon can be used multiple times and applies to anything under the said category, so if you're looking for other items, it's your chance to get it at a lower price.

You can try a certain proxy to search (if searching amazon doesn't work)

lol, amazon.jp glitching out. Saw as available for 38500 yen (sold by amazon) and was able to add to cart but doesn't allow completing the order.

you wouldn't download a gunpla would you? Looks like Bandai did a booboo and didn't encrypt the gunpla 3d/CAD files of their metaverse game (I believe it's patched now). So those files are now public and can be used to 3d print gunplas:

an online shop already opened PO for the Kampfer for 43000 yen (retail seems to be 39600 yen with tax so I think price is decent) and currently with 7 available slots. Same shop also has the metal robot Hazel Titan colors for 20k yen (apologies for not mentioning the name of the shop for obvious reasons . You can always do google-fu though, they're not hidden or anything. Shop looks reliable so far as I got some of my metal builds there this year including GN-arms and Deathscythe at decent prices).

TOM seem to have opened PO for MS RX-93 for $900 with a 25% cashback (if premium member; also note that you can only use the cashback on your succeeding orders): https://otakumode.com/shop/6508fe023b1895001dfbdc76/Kaitai-Shou-Ki-Mobile-Suit-Gundam-Char’s-Counterattack-RX-93-ν-Gundam. Obviously it's gone now, lol. Seems to be the best price among retailers so far.

I think there were previous instances where information was announced and the pre-order was also opened the same day. Though can't remember if online shops (.e.g. hlj, amiami, etc) also opened their POs at the same time or the following day
