Thanks for the reminder, I think everyone has only been thinking of the 31A.

I have 3 MB's to look forward to this month, the Arbalest, F-91 Harrison custom, and a Destiny Heine which I exchanged for my 31A order from NY.

if you need a set of wing of light for the destiny, i have an extra i may sell.

[F360]

One of my VF-31a arrived at my Proxy's warehouse ,  I think I'll probably wait it out until the TWE MB F-91 gets there so I can ship it all together to save on shipping.

I should probably save where I can, spend a bit more this month.

did you buy it at a high price? those things are expensive now

compare to the current price, it's was a good price.

got it from yahoo auction for 33,000 last week,  + plan fee/payment fee/domestic shipping = totals 34930 yen  (could've been 700 cheaper if I just use forwarding instead of full protection coverage)

Since I preorder 2 of the F-91 and played around with their shipping quote, waiting to ship them all together should save me around 2000 yen if I use fedex economy.  

My wallet told me to just wait.

This month is heavy for me, like pretty damn heavy lol. I have 2x Arbalests, 2x F91 Harrison's, 2x Riobot Stick, 1x SDF-1 Premium Finnish and I'm pretty sure I got the Metal Robot Damashii Strike freedom this month. I feel like I'm missing something...

Hmmm. How about that fabled creature known as Kairos? Heard it was impossible to capture. Have you already secured one?

Metal Robot S-Gundam P-Bandai Exclusive 15,120yen

[dizman]

Oh no it's the version I actually want, I love the S Gundam too much to pass it up. It even comes with the alternate smart gun barrel that I don't think it ever used, just was an extra concept.

Are there any predictions if the price of the GFFMC Wing Gundam Custom will go down on the secondary market if the 3rd batch will be released in May?

I hope so. Really kicking myself for missing the pre-order. 

[F360]

The price seem to drop around 1000 yen after the 2nd batch.

so it should drop at least another 1000 yen when the 3rd batch gets release.  

Of course it can drop more if the since the 3rd batch in japan stayed open til closed date.

[davidwhangchoi]

anyone rich enough for this?

looks very premium and nice all over,   but the VF-31a mess happened.

checked out the current pricing on this premium item and it's way past my "still ok and just suck it up" mark.

Not expecting this PO so soon. Now I need to re-evaluate my life and my recent and future preorder purchases. I might cancel some.

Good for you. I'm full of envy for members who have it already.

I concur the pre-order timing is just bad.  Both the YF-19 and the X-105 on one night.  Remind me when the Destiny went up along with a DX valk forget which one.  That night was the worst preorder madness night ever.  Then I have to contend with shitty internet and a different time zone, as I will be on business trip, and will have to rely on shitty hotel wireless internet SMDH, I'll consider it a win if I can get just one of these figures that night. 

But is it just me, or does it seem like Bandai fixed the X-105's thunder thighs?

Too bad one or the other isn't a TWE, that would make me sorta happy.

[F360]

When this happens ,it makes preorder twice as hard at some stores.  But if you are in the usa ,  go for the yf-19 first , just focus on that if you have too .   Preorder for the metal build will be up on usa stores later if you cant get it from japan.

I don't have the link right now, but I just saw a post on Facebook about the  MB Mazinger getting a reissue
