Easy. They take pictures and throw up a listing on their website, even before we have release dates or confirmed pricing. they are hustling a Metal Structure Sazabi and we don’t have a release date or price on that thing yet -
The sad part is your are probably right. they will have just the dynames for sale , the backpack sold separately now , then an add on rifle , then a re release of dynames without the backpack and then a re release of dynames but with a small change to the box or a Trans-Am dynames. Bandais milking the franchise has made it hard to stay in this hobby as they re release the same products while the quality control goes lower and lower

Any chance we could see this at P Bandai ?
-
Those thieves launch pre orders before anyone.
-
No , we need them to finish the 00 series with a Kyrios , virtue , Nadleh or Dynames sniper version. with our luck the turds at Bandai are going to release the basic Strike for the 6th time. Meanwhile I’m still over here waiting for an MB Heavy Arms, DeathScythe or 8th MS set

I thought ANSAI was making them ? Didn’t they have one for the PG Unicorn ?

It’s probably metal frame with metal trim. The Chinese 3rd party market has been making metal frames for Gunpla for years now. They also have metal inserts and metal trim. Bandai just realized they are losing money and trying to fix it

Work finally calmed down a bit. I’m ordering this monstrosity just to collect it. To embarrassing to display. I think you should get one too.

Trade you for a rare photo of a 7 legged spider ?

The other overlooked issue here is BBTS shipping. BBTS is behind the curve like P Bandai. So after it drops you’ll get a shipping notification in 6-8 weeks. I normally try to save BBTS as a last resort for that reason . They will deliver though, I’ve never had any issues with them.

They either steal your money or send you a damaged box due to poor packaging. In my case I lost $700ish .

Same I watch it go to 12 , then 7 , then 4 , then 1. Nothing but checkout errors. Ended up getting one from Nin Nin Game

CD Japan is throwing errors ... wtf

My understanding was just that it was a display to showcase alongside the Metal Structure Sazabi. I dont know where the reprint/re release rumors came from. Sqidd buy that MS Nu in the Marketplace , it comes with Fin Funnels too

Ive used Maybangs twice. Once for a Strike Freedom Concept 2 and Once for a ThreeZero/DLX Optimus Prime. Both times without any issue. Customer Service reps are a bit slow to respond but otherwise zero complaints.
-
Maybang Collectibles has their pre orders open as well for under $300. They don’t charge tax unless you are in CA from what I remember https://www.maybang.com/products/bandai-gundam-metal-build-mobile-suit-gundam-seed-athrun-zala-justice-gundam-diecast-action-figure?_pos=2&_sid=3a9235c57&_ss=r

I just went to pre order these and the limit is now 2 instead of 3. I dont know if its lame that bandai has pulled this or that those scab resellers have ruined it for the rest of us
-
Im waiting on the Trans Am color lolz
-
All the Astraeas were that way. The Proton Launcher model was a weird white with some off white that wasnt shown during pre order . The Type F was shown as a bright vivid red but we got a slightly faded red and two tone shields. Honestly Im not too surprised the Type X didnt live up to the color it was portrayed but its still a cool looking design with sniper rifle and helmet included.

you dont think they made a better quality styrofoam back in the day? It seems like styrofoam is made by the cheapest bidders these days.

multiple hobby shops on youtube have basically said the same thing. They said have your figure in enough plastic to allow the gas to go around/over the figure. Another point that was brought up was moisture/humidity for those non A/C houses and probably Florida lol.

They are already charging questionable prices. I looked at them for shipping on a valk and they wanted $50 already. To pay an extra fee monthly is setting a dangerous precedent. The shipping service we used to get prior to this scamdemic is now being re sold to us . This is the same BS ideal that got us those " Rewards Points" you are now seeing, you pay for an item and you get rewards (which are already factored into the price) and only good for that store. The other downfall is the "Priority Customer" list. If you ordered on day 1 of pre sale and arent a premium member , you could get bumped down to the second batch and wait longer. Your "priority" on the list is also contingent on how much you spend with them. If you are ok with this , then go ahead, pay for premium, help the girls make their cocktail bar tour videos at our expense.

I got mine last week. Packaged well. THanks ! I purchased a second one People are still shopping with them after that "Premium Shipping BS" they tried to pull?
