From their Instagram, looks like it does include the squire drones. Wish the included stand was a Trident plus though so that we could actually display the drones.

I have the Hi-Metal R Scopedog Red Shoulder Custom that came out around a year ago and I would recommend it. I don't have any other Scopedog toys to compare it to, but it has good articulation, comes with the pilot figure that can actually sit in the pilot seat and a good array of the usual Red Shoulder Weapon loadout.

So having never ordered a Metal Build that's available at retail -- are these like Bandai Macross DX VF-1s where if you didn't get into the preorder you're looking at the second hand market? Or will there be some to purchase on the release date? The last retail Metal Build Gundam was the Hi-Nu and that still seems to be available at retailers like Big Bad Toystore.

Yeah, that's the way I look at it -- the Zeta is my favorite MS from my favorite series. And I've never really found a good physical representation of it -- the metal robot spirits was too fragile, I had the MG 1.0 and 2.0 but I never felt that confident in posing either, I hear the RG is a hand grenade, the robot spirits figure strays too much into a stylized look, etc etc. 40,000 yen is a lot -- but maybe this is the Zeta that I've been waiting for?

In June, I purchased the DX Mechanic VF-1S from Mercari using Buyee. The fees were 800 yen, and the shipping cost to California was 5,880 yen via FexEx. In my case, shipping took 3 days from label created to delivery. Overall, was very happy with the Buyee experience.

IIRC the Eta Legioss was already re-released once -- were there any improvements when it was reissued? Like loosening up the shoulders or fixing the joints on the ride armor pilot so it wouldn't fall apart so easily?

Yes hopefully it comes packaged in mobile suit form.. because I would also never transform it. Unlike the VF series valkyries I’ve never found the alternate forms of mobile suits (Wave Rider, G-fortress, etc) to be particularly compelling. I know it’s only the first day of the show, but any news on the pricing/release date of the Metal Build Zeta?

Unfortunately, USAGSs summer 30% sale items change daily. When @MikeRoz posted, the code was valid for the VF-25G. Today, however that item is no longer on sale.

I finally got these printed and they look great with the GokinPlus stands! Thanks to @Anasazi37 -- highly recommended.

Kakizaki is definitely still flying a 1A when he's killed. The only time we see a 1J in DYRL is when the Armored Valkyrie fires off all its missiles in the opening battle. Looking at the screenshot makes me realize that the Hikaru reaction shot of Kakizaki's death doesn't match up at all continuity-wise with the previous shot of Kakizaki's death on the monitor display. You'd think the cockpit would be more damaged based on what we see on the monitor. But hey I guess continuity never stopped gruesome anime deaths before.

It comes with the Kakizaki release. You can see it in the images in the tweet that @treatment posted earlier, both on the image on the back of the box and in the interior contents.

Ah, smart thinking on the super/strike stand adapter vs non super/strike adapter. Very exciting to see these coming along!
-
@Anasazi37 if you ever decide to print these up I'd be first in line for two!
