Metal Build GP03 Dendrobium... Hmmm. 

Wow if that ever was in MB form, i think i might also need to custom a display cabinet just for it! 

Tho pulling out metal missile canisters in MB form is indeed mouth watering!

i would love a MB gp-03.

i'd love a Gp-02a too

[seti88]

An MB 02 would definitely be insta insta buy. Dat shield itself in metal and tampoed all over would be worth it.

Tho i would like them to release a darn RG 02 first!

wassup wit you bandai?!

It will as big as those Robotech sound systems.  But its from Bandai so itll cost less than those.  

[seti88]

For a moment, i tot you were suggesting the dendrobium to become a sub-woofer  

hmmm......naaahhh......

[kajnrig]

This should give you an idea of the size of a Metal Build Dendrobium:

That's 1.3 meters from rear fin to barrel tip.

Ok i take it back, might need to customise a room instead of a cabinet.

I think you forgot about the new armor pack DLC's Bandai said they will start releasing in 2018.

So guys remember those reports about the clear plastic hooks breaking on the MB 00 Quanta? Whelp it happened to me too. When I was first attaching the GN sword bits to the hooks everything went fine, but today when I wanted to take them off one of them cracked and the other snapped without much pressure or manhandling. So far the only parts breaking are the clear plastic hooks connecting the medium sized GN sword bits. I'm not sure if it's too late to ask HLJ for replacement parts, but I don't think I'll be using those gimmicks on the Quanta again.

thanks for the update, I'm glad it's just the clear plastics....  and everything else is fine.  maybe they made the fitting too tight?

Everything else is fine. Thankfully. The clear plastic bits seemed to fit well, but it just wasn't strong enough for the harder solid ABS.

anyone order the mb mazinger ? i don't know the series so i skipped it.

yeah, I preordered it.   I don't know the series all that much either.  But there's a Movie so that should be enough to cover the toy.

besides with all the little accessories it looks kinda fun to pose and play around.  Especially the ROCKET.

the rocket does look cool

The MB GN Sword II Blaster now has a release date, January 26th. Also apparently comes with an anti-bootleg hologram so I guess Bandai's noticed and started to get a bit sick of the MB knock-offs.

[SuperHobo]

Here are the two damaged clear parts for the 00 Quanta. Damn clear plastic and your brittleness. 

[chyll2]

the other one is also going there with that crack/stress

Yup......I'm going to see if I can spare parts from HLJ.....even if I have to pay for them.

They can take their time if they improve the look of the MB strike a bit more. 

 

[chyll2]

Hope they tweak the strike. The astraeF looks off in prototype but looks awesome during Preorder.

[no3Ljm]

I want a white Astraea too, Bandai. Make it happen since Arcadia is making me save money. Hehehe.

LOL sorry man. Just funny how much of a premium you pay for something so semi premium. And if you are outside of Japan. Your boned. Waits to get 3rd Party version at half the cost.

I F*&^%ing give up with Bandai.

I want this but I have no idea that it was even coming out. At least Hot Toys has opened up their product to the world. Sure they may have exclusives for them to collect to their local people but at least everyone has a pick at the pie. Bandai is one of the largest toy companies but barely services anything outside Japan.

So sold out or prepay upfront before May! I cant even get the GMFMCC Wing. The Hi Spec MG Wing I got is garbage

Just so you know, there's already a 3rd Party 00Qant out there so you don't need to wait.

You shouldnt have to worry too much , this wasnt the popular item on preorder night . That was Goku .  

You should see lots of reopening.

The best website to stay up to date with Bandai release is http://tamashii.jp/?lmode=en. The list release and pre-order dates for all products. 

If you are still looking for the Metal Robot Lancelot BBTS have their pre-orders open. 

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Search?HideSoldOut=true&PageSize=50&SortOrder=New&Company=81 

I would recommend getting the BBTS pre-order, the extra $30 isn't bad considering they are paying for shipping. If more pre-orders open later on HLJ or other webshops you can switch over. I pre-ordered the Metal Robot Strike Freedom on BBTS once Bandai announced they are doing the Infinite Justice. If HLJ has extra SF on release day I will pick it up from them or Amazon JP. If not, no big deal since I it will BBTS. 

But the GMFMMC Wing was bullshit. They never should have made that an exclusive. The demand for that figure was so high they had to do four separate waves of releases. I wasn't able to pick one up because all the sites need up front payment for exclusives. I don't have a problem with that policy but it made getting the Wing impossible. I am hoping some with be available in February for a slight mark-up.
