I did get a confirmation on the YF-19 on HLJ now need the strike to show up confirmed

Got my first HLJ email confirmation for Aile Strike. I'll just wait until the second confirmation so I can cancel the extra orders immediately.

fingers crossed. at least they put it to order stop so that's a good sign it's not an error

[F360]

at cdjapan, the Strike gundam is sold out, but the yf-19 is still available.  normally it's the other way around. 

[Loop]

HLJ just confirmed my strike too.

[Loop]

Yeah I noticed it seems the Metal build was more popular

[davidwhangchoi]

Thanks @davidwhangchoi!

I'm still on the hunt for one more strike also.

[davidwhangchoi]

i just hope Bluefin doesn't set it at some insane price vs. jyp's retail price.

it was the other way around on HLJ, strike lasted a good 10 minutes longer than the 19. no idea what I'm going to do with this thing but we'll see when we get to august

[no3Ljm]

Ok. I can go to bed now. I cancelled the extra orders that I did. Good night everyone! I mean good morning!

 

[davidwhangchoi]

just woke up. was hoping some place opened up for another

[F360]

By the way if anyone is still looking for a MB qan(t)?  $212 with free shipping for usa and Canada at Otakumode 

https://otakumode.com/shop/5a73ece3b9cc5a4520bda32d?ivc=5f4bff

[eggy99]

And gone!

[F360]

for those that missed out the MB strike and is in the USA or Canada for free shiping.     The US MSRP is probably $275
Try refreshing this otakumode page , they started posting it up for preorder today, but was sold out fast.  I saw 1 left or 2 left here and there.

Strike is cool and all but Zero is just...

[mog_kupo]

That reminds me I still need to get one Fix Figuration Wing Gundam

[Kanedas Bike]

Still haven't opened Wing Zero, it's still sealed in the brown shipper and currently packed away with other MISB Metal Build items. 

And honestly not for any particular reason, it really just boils down to out of sight, out of mind - especially with Valkyries taking up most if not all of my display space.

BBTS Just put theirs up for PO for those still in need. 

[dragonstar1982]

Thanks!!! I've been waiting for them to post it. Was able to get one.

[Boobytrap]

Already sold out at BBTS.  Well maybe Entertainment Earth will get it and come through for me like they have in the past.

I'm tempted for a second one. Hehehe.

I so needed another YF-19 and another Metal Build Strike Aile. I woke up late and got both on HLJ but they are saying I most likely won't get my YF, and while checking out at CDJ it said that the Metal Build was no longer available.

I basically got 50% of what I needed on the last preorder night. And OMG is it me or are the stateside orders for the Strike Aile pretty high?

The new preorder time mess you up too huh.?

yeah i notice the usa msrp is seems higher , i was expecting it at $259.  But $275 seems to be the price and bbts is saying that its limited so onle 1 per customer. 

[no3Ljm]

I guess, they're also charging us the shipping from Japan to here plus import taxes or sales taxes included, I presume?

 

[F360]

well for international orders, there's still Loopaza...   

https://www.loopaza.com/metal-build-mobile-suit-gundam-seed-aile-strike-gundam.html

at $259.99 is a little bit more expensive 
Shipping is about $55.

Thanks for the heads up. I went ahead and got one there. They do have free shipping but I have to pay CA tax. In the end it will definitely cost me more but at least I have one secured. They are pretty good with cancellations in case one pops up somewhere else for less.
