Falcon Posted March 28, 2017 Posted March 28, 2017 NY buys from brick and mortar stores probably at the market rate and then mark it up in order to make a profit. Don't see how that's a problem as it allows international buyers like us an opportunity to get something that is rather hard to get even for locals. If you find the price too dear, don't buy from them. Generally speaking their first time and even their second time batches don't go up ridiculously high but you get crazy prices by the end- you seen some of the prices of their later Metal Builds!? Don't think they're sketchy but I do think they're a bit too ambitious with some of their prices. Funnily enough, when I was in Tokyo I saw sellers that were doing this in Akihabara with higher prices than NY for things that are readily available for a third of the cost in brick and mortar stores! :0 Quote
subie81 Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Are there any reviews of the mb f91 in English? Mine is sitting in my private warehouse in hlj and I'm itching for a review I can understand! Quote

Mine is sitting in my private warehouse in hlj and I'm itching for a review I can understand! all the video review that's out now is either Chinese or Japanese. The ones that will be in english are probably still in the shipping process. But I think if you watch the video anyways, you should understand what they are talking about even if you don't know the language. I ended up watching all the videos that went up on youtube (5?) The main thing you need to know. When changing the head, remove the backpack first. since that seems to lock the gray blocky base. when collapsing the VSBR , hold it from the tip , then once collaped, push the 2 flaps close. Quote
Archer Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Thoughts on the transforming head? The videos I've seen make it seem like a cool but finicky gimmick. The mouthpiece seems to separate easily, without even engaging the lever on the top of the head. I think I'll stick to the parts swapping head when I get it. Interesting that they didn't go the route of the unicorn (GFFMC), which retains perfect head transformation without the finicky separation issues. Quote

no3Ljm Posted April 6, 2017 Posted April 6, 2017 Not sure if this has been posted or if it's belong here. MegaHouse GGG Figure Series Char Aznable. Love to have one. Wish they would do Amuro next and their CCA counterparts. And have them go together like a diorama display. Quote
Eslim109 Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 Has anyone received notification from bbts in regards to the MB F91 Gundam coming in? Their website says it will come in April but no exact date. Just anxiously waiting for it to come. Quote
Loop Posted April 24, 2017 Posted April 24, 2017 They usually get them out I would say up 3-4 weeks after the Japan release. My guess is that they slow boat them to the US. In any. See it feels like forever lol. Quote

Eslim109 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 It looks like shipping will cost $33 per package and will ship via FedEx. If that's a pretty set price then best to order a lot of items at once. Quote

F360 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 suppose you can combine items with the same release month. And for 2 days they will give 20 off shipping. http://us.p-bandai.asia/menu/eventtop/page-list-cp0/ Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 thanks! myswell just buy everything and hope i can eat. Quote

F360 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 (edited) http://us.p-bandai.asia/ is now live and taking preorders. $20 off shipping so it's $13 for FEDEX shipping. Upfront payment by paypal Edited April 28, 2017 by F360 Quote
Vortech Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Dam it looks like there will still be a lil bit of preorder madness even with US P Bandai. The listed times were not right, I was able to snag a Red Frame Kai, but the Avalanche Exia and it's option parts are already sold out. That was fast. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 they changed it last second to 4am EST... it was initally 16:00JST i got in with the exia weapons plus and don't know why but ordered the red frame.. i"m so tired... Quote
Eslim109 Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Debating if it's worth getting the Red Frame Kai figure/set. Already have the Tactical Arms & Tiger Pierce options set on preorder at a Japanese site and have the original Red Frame and Flight Unit. Although I prefer the look of the new Red Frame Kai figure over its original, don't see it being worth to have both. Now if it was a blue Frame kai then I may have no choice haha Quote
