On the one hand Wing Gundam was the first Gundam series I watched. On the other hand I don't want to start another toy line and I'm 100% certain that Bandai won't release the other 4 suits from Endless Waltz.... ...because they never to. Well, Bandai doesn't do that actually. They never do complete certain line. Like in their model kit line. It's always the lead MS that gets the MG treatment before but not they put random mech in it. The only thing I remember they used to complete are the non-scale 1/100 line. And probably the HG line too(?). But with Gundam Wing, it tooks years before the others ended up in the MG line. Curious though, did they produce all of the 5 Wing/EW suits in Robot Damashii form? Quote

I don't think they did the Damashii line, I know they did in the old MSIA line back in the 90s. I am hoping to pick one up at reasonable price. I hesitated during pre-order and they sold out. Quote

anime52k8 Posted February 23, 2018 Posted February 23, 2018 looks cool, but I'd much rather rather have a hummingbird 2.0. Anyways, I never got a shipping confirmation email from p-bandai us but when I checked their site today there was a fedex tracking number. Apparently it's already in the continental US and has a Tuesday delivery date.

Robot Damashii did all 5 original TV suits + wing zero, Deathscythe hell and altron, plus an upgrade set to turn heavyarms and sandrock into their kai versions. they also did all three tallgeese; epyon; mercurius and vayeate; 4 different leo variants; and aries of all things. I really doubt they'll do more wing Metal composites, but I'd love it if they did. although DS hell heavyarms are my favorite suit designs, I think the thing I want most in GFFMC form is this: Altron Gundam Glory of Losers ver.

anime52k8 Posted February 26, 2018 Posted February 26, 2018 Fedex still says Tuesday even though it's been in the bay area since Friday afternoon. Pics look so good, I'm starting to wish I got two so I could have one permanently in neo-bird mode. Quote
CF18 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 https://imgur.com/a/vlQhG First time purchase directly from Bandai premium. Tons of tiny bits and hinges that need to be careful with, looks to be more difficult to handle than most VFs. Quote
F360 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Looks like i wont be able to get it today. Quote
Loop Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 Mine are with my contact in Japan. I really need to start shipping my toys over Quote

anime52k8 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I got a shipping confirmation email for my wing gundam... 4 days after it got into North America. for some reason 3 of those days were spent just sitting around in oakland doing nothing. Thanks FedEx. Quote
SuperHobo Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 I got mine today. Definitely the best Endless Waltz Wing Zero toy made to date. Best GFFMC toy so far. They weren't kidding about the "featuring Metal Build" about this release. Articulation is on par with recent metal build toys including a lovely tilting ab joint from side to side. No loose joints, tight tight tight. The wings have a ton of moving parts. The zero system opening panels works much better than the 00 Quanta metal build toy's opening hatch gimmick. I love how many dedicated joints they have to do the combined buster rifle pose. I haven't transformed him yet, but I will later this week. So far so good! Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 27, 2018 Posted February 27, 2018 ugh. I should just go to sleep now so I can make it tuesday sooner. Quote

OMG that is one gorgeous but impractical mech. I just got one from ebay for 550 canadian. SUCKS! But its one of those that will grow in value. Quote

Loop Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 I'm not sure about scale but it is a whole other toy line in itself called metal robot spirits. here are the releases in the series: http://tamashii.jp/item_brand/metal_robot_tamashii/ Quote
General Rasp Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 If the Metal Builds/Composites are 1/100 scale would say the Metal Robot Spirits are close to 1/144 scale. Quote

anime52k8 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) Metal Robot is a sub line of Robot damashii so it's the same size as RD figures but they have metal joints and more paint/tampo printing. technically RDs are non-scale but they're somewhere between 1/144 and 1/125 scale. more like between 1/155 and 1/135 TBH.

F360 Posted February 28, 2018 Posted February 28, 2018 Or look at it this way. metal builds/ composite are like dx chogokin valks , Arcadia, yamato. metal robot/ spirits are like hi-metal rs. Quote
