General Rasp Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I much rather see 00 designs that Seed designs any day. And I can't see what else they could do after the Metal Build Astraea release in May. Maybe a few option sets but they have to be running low on 00 stuff. Hopefully they will release some photos of the Metal Build Crossbone gundam. I won't mind see that design for the next three years. Quote
General Rasp Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 FYI, if anyone is interested in the Metal Robot Infinite Justice get it from Japanesse sites. BBTS has their pre-order up and they are price gouging, $244.99 . http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/71846 Quote

Can't really pinpoint what's so special about 00 mechas for me. Even the enemy mechs I appreciate esp when they became A-Laws in Season 2. So I really don't mind seeing and owning Metal Build incarnations from the first four Gundams in Season 1. Well, they could add the four Gundams from Season 2 too if they really wanted. Not to mention their 00V counterparts. Imagine a Metal Builds of Dynames, Kyrios, Virtue/Nadleeh, 00 XN Raiser, Cherudim, Arios, Seravee/Seraphim, Zabanya, Harute, and Raphael/SeraveeII in your collections. Woohoo! I can dream, can I?

I would prefer them in the Metal Robot line actually. The smaller scale would work better for display and shelf space. I really like what they have been doing with the line, they aren't skipping on details. To me they look like smaller Metal Build robots and they have the gimmicks. With my shrinking shelf they work better for me if I was going to do a whole team. I was tempted to pick up a few high grades awhile back but read they weren't the best. It is a shame bandai normally doesn't fill out whole teams often. Quote

Yes, dream on, cause it will never happen. I had a mini rant today over at TFW about how disappointed I am that Japanese toy manufacturers are seldomly release a full line of characters. That is one reason why I never bought into the SHF Star Wars line because I knew they will never be complete. Luckily I usually don't know enough about the Metal Build Gundams I have to be concerned by that. Sadly I felt obligated to watch Gundam 00 after I had all the MB releases so far and now I really want a Metal Build Dynames. Quote

Well obviously they could (and most likely will) do the white version of Astraea. Beyond that there is a massive amount of 00 stuff they could do, the only problem is they would have to do something besides Exia family variants. basically what I'm saying is that the world needs an MB dynames. Also more wing suits too please. Quote
dragonstar1982 Posted March 29, 2018 Posted March 29, 2018 I think a metal build of nu gundam/sazabi, gp-01,gp-02, Alex/kampfer would be more of a fresh welcome. I mean heck I'd sacrifice a chicken just to have a metal build zz Gundam lol Quote

Good thing I don't have the other versions of Strike Gundam. I only have his Robot Spirits one. Besides, I'm just here to complete Kira's units just like what I did with Setsuna's. Bandai should do Amuro's next as well -- RX-78-2, Nu-Gundam, and Zeta Gundam Unit 3. (Dijeh not that much.) I'm all for that curly haired guy's suits. Edited March 30, 2018 by no3Ljm Quote

They did wing zero, now they need to do wing, Epyon, heavyarms (with hidden beam saber arm), Mercurius, Space type Leo, Aries, and Cancer. Quote
eggy99 Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Funny how the teaser conveniently hides the massive skirts. Haha. Still gonna buy it. Edited March 31, 2018 by eggy99 Quote
no3Ljm Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Hmmm. Maybe it's just the angle how the photo was taken last year. Because, it kind of look nice based on the render from the teaser video. Or maybe I'm just forgiving? Last December's reveal photos. On 12/2/2017 at 11:17 AM, no3Ljm said: From TagHobby: I know it’s still early but it looks like the overall proportions are off. Quote

It's because the video cuts it off at the knees so you can't see how out of proportion it's thunder thighs are to it's tiny dancer's feet. Quote

F360 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 30th anniversary unboxing and quick review. Arcadia should take note: This is what a Premium Black Box should look like, even black styrofoam. Quote
eggy99 Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Ahh yes the Strike thunder thighs. That was the issue we observed from the first set of preview photos. Quote

Though they should atleast use black painted or colored carton for the box tray if they want to keep the clear plastic trays. You know, jut to have that extra push to make it look like premium. But as Mommar pointed out before, Arcadia only said tampoed Valk and not premium box. Quote

BTW the NY price went up on this.... 68,000 yen I'm on the fence for the Metal Robot Damashii INFINITE JUSTICE, but I might just get one for the hell of it. I wish they would have started with one of Athrun's other suites. Edited April 1, 2018 by Loop Quote

Since they did Strike Freedom for metal Robot, they went with Infinity Justice . Their 62000 is already over the top for me, now 68,000? Quote

Yeah the only reason I ordered it, So I can have the matching pair. Yeah, NY Scalping prices are insane most of the time. I don't think I have ever ordered anything from them after the initial release of a Bandai exclusive due to pricing. I mean they are literally sliding the knife across your scalp line as soon as you even think about checking out. Quote

But unfortunately the Strike doesn't really pair up with Aegis. In Bandai's pattern, it will pair up with Skygrasper /Launcher.sword pack . And then they will open the gate of Cows for the milking I'll be up for MB Aegis and other MB Athrun MS. Edited April 1, 2018 by F360 Quote
