    Well, milking a very expensive mold is logical from a business standpoint. I forgot who in this thread explained the very tedious process of setting up a factory to produce molds for a complicated toy like Metal Builds. And the factory set up is paid for by the manufacturer for only a set period of time. So yeah, Bandai will milk the mold. 😄 Apart from the Crossbones, any U.C. era Metal Build would be most welcome. I'd really like to see what Bandai's Metal Build division will do with transforming Gundams. The Metal Robot Damashii Zeta Ka Ver. is the best iteration of that MS so far. I'd like to see it and the Double Zeta in the MB format.

    Where are the promised U.C. Metal Builds? No news about that MB Hi-Nu Gundam that was teased?

    Pre-order sold out at BBTS. Nin-nin pre-order back up, but with a hefty markup (and still pay-upfront) : https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/gundam/44449-metal-robot-spirits-side-ms-ka-signature-gundam-bandai-.html

    Aaand Nin-nin is also sold out.

    Argh, bit the bullet on Nin-nin. That pay upfront is a bit painful, but they're the only option available now. I hope they don't rat on me. Its my first time ordering from them...
  6. brouken
    For cryin' out loud! I was checking the pre-orders page for it and they didn't have it up there!
  7. brouken
    Gah, sold out in Amiami! Saw the pre-order button but that's it! Where is Nippon-Yasan when you need them?
  8. brouken
    Been waiting for the Ka Signature Zeta! Anyone know if HLJ will be carying this? BTW, here's the page link for Amiami: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail?gcode=FIGURE-123434

    Bandai DX VF-31

    brouken replied to UN Spacy's topic in Toys

    Hi all! Hope everyone is doing okay staying home and keeping safe from the COVID-19 contagion. A global recession is in place as global supply chains have been disrupted, and the toy industry is no exception. Given these circumstances, and an uncertain future, anyone think Bandai is still considering completing the Delta lineup? I'm waiting specifically for the super packs for Arad and Chuck's valks. You think these are still in pipeline? Or are we doomed to have a naked Chuck forever? Your thoughts?

    There are a lot of comparison videos on Youtube showing the differences between the first release Hot Toys Mk 7 and the newer diecast version. I don't have the first release since I stopped collecting Hot Toys due to financial and space constraints (I only have the Hot Toys Mk 2 and Battle Damaged Mk 3. I am trying to complete the S.H. Figuarts Iron Man line though). Based on the reviews, the difference between the First release and the diecast one are more than just cosmetic improvements. The diecast one can actually partsform into the Mk 7 pod mode, which is a gimmick that is a first among Hot Toys I believe. Also, the poseability has improved tremendously. The diecast can do the famous three point stance/landing no problem. The following is a good review showing the comparison, transformation, and the three point landing, though its in Chinese:

    Just got my Hot Toys Diecast Iron Man Mk 7! I had been waiting for this since I pre-ordered it from Sideshow Collectibles in July 2018. This is my first Diecast Hot Toys. I've heard so many good things about the diecast series, but had held off buying the other diecast Iron Man releases until this bad boy came out. The Mk 7 is my favorite Iron Man suit, and this thing is the best representation of the Mk 7 hands down across all brands and releases. This is definitely worthy to be the centerpiece of my Iron Man collection.

    Both Iron Man and Rescue are sold out again, so yeah, Japan loves Iron Man.

    Hey, all four are back at NY! Except there's no pay later option anymore: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29843-shfiguarts-rescue-armor-avengers-endgame.html https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29845-shfiguarts-captain-america-final-battle-edition-avengers-endgame.html https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29846-shfiguarts-iron-man-mark-85-final-battle-edition-avengers-endgame.html https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29847-shfiguarts-iron-spider-final-battle-edition-avengers-endgame.html

    Whew! Was able to get Rescue, Iron Man and Iron Spider at NY! Watching the NY spinning wheel of death has got to be one of the most stressful experiences a collector can go through. In the rush of making the orders, I accidentally made duplicate orders for Iron Man and Iron Spider. I've submitted tickets to cancel the duplicates already. Don't know if that would translate to the items being available again after the cancellation.
  19. brouken
    Iron Spider was available at NY. I ordered two by accident. Now asking NY to cancel the duplicate.

    Iron Man is up at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29846-shfiguarts-iron-man-mark-85-final-battle-edition-avengers-endgame.html

    Cap is up at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29845-shfiguarts-captain-america-final-battle-edition-avengers-endgame.html

    Rescue available at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29843-shfiguarts-rescue-armor-avengers-endgame.html

    Captain Marvel is already up for pre-order at NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/29828-shfiguarts-captain-marvel-avengers-endgame-limited-edition.html So is Emperor Palpatine, though I'm not collecting Star Wars figures. Rescue is a definite must buy, as well as the ver. 2 Iron Spider. That Nano Gauntlet looks sweet! I wish the Figuarts Professor Hulk could wear it... I'm torn with the Final Battle Mk 85. That Tony head is definitely tempting. Why am I not surprised that Bandai did not include the Iron gauntlet with the figure? Again, Takara Tony's offering seems much better: https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=414090655923809&id=100019686341010

    Thanks for the pics carlsylar! Another question: will the aile strike pack and the gunbarrel striker fit on the MB Blue Frame Astray? Or will you need an adapter from the Alternative Red Frame Kai?
  25. brouken
    Ah, thanks! So I'm assuming no compatibility issues with the other packs then.
