Excellent pictures @anime52k8.

Quick question. Does the Wing Zero Custom come with an stand adapter to display the birg/weapon platform on the display stand? Similar to the stand add-on for the Red Frame Flight Unit.

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.

Yeah man, no problem. I've ordered from Entertainment Earth a few times myself and they've never let me down either.

 

 

Side note, $ 274.99 seems to the magic number for US based stores...

Chosen Prime is another decent option, I've only ordered from them once but it was a pretty good experience...

there's an alternate set of stand parts to display the Neo Bird Mode.

It was $259 when they started the preorder.  They seem to lower the discount when a certain amount of preorder is reached.  

I still have the page on my phone... here's a screen cap of it.   

But Tax kills any normal discount for me since I live in the the same State as Eknightmedia.

Looks like the Metal build strike at Eknightmedia is sold out .  When you click the search link it directs you to something else.

Is this the "best" Zaku II currently available? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071JND3WB/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A3G3EFRJI0CY8&psc=1

It's the Zaku II C-5 from the Origin series.

[kajnrig]

It's a 1/144-scale model kit, and yes, it's the newest kit using the newest tooling and molds of the Zaku II. I think there may have been one or two more variants since its release, but this one I think includes everything that came with every Origin Zaku II kit before it. I don't think the variants that come after (if they've come out yet) are as complete as this one is, though they might include small little exclusive bits and pieces.

The Metal Build Astraea is due this month and I'm excited. Especially since I already payed for it.

Red Gundam hype!

Oooh. I'm jealous. As per my proxy, I'm in the July batch. 

 

[anime52k8]

Super jelly, I missed out on this one completely. Maybe if I end up not digging the Strike Gundam I can do a 1:1 trade for it. more Wing Gundam to make me feel better; also bad photoshop because I don't have any font packs or custom brushes installed on this computer.

I'm also in the July batch, but I'm OK with it as it helps my wallet grow after I had one of the biggest collectible spending months ever

you and me both,  with the VF-31a mess and all the stuff that came out , my toy spend budget is way up there.  It doesn't help that I'm also a impulse buyer and buy bunch of other stuff like Figma(mostly fate series), Polynian, Megami device, Cu-Poche, etc  (those frame-arm girls, and fate series)

But one thing good about the proxy is that my pre orders are already paid for, just the fee and shipping when it comes out.

Received some items from my proxy yesterday.

They shrink wrapped it so well, and with slots for handle on the cardboard that I don't even want to cut it open.

2x TWE Metal Build F91 Harrison Martin ed.

1x TWE Dx Chogokin VF-31a (from yahoo auction)

All have the TWE brown shippers box.

I'm not sure yet whether it's Bandai that's doing a second wave of the YF-19/Strike or some special thing CDJ is doing. I want to say it's the former because the Strike was included in the announcement, but it could just be CDJ.

I guess we will find out when it happens.  If its Bandai then Hlj, amiami will have the 2nd wave too .   

But it could very well be cdjapan and their hook ups.  They have these kinda or hard to get item promos here and there.

OMG I hope this works out to where they all have second waves on both items. I only scored 1x of each and am sad JK but kinda sad...

Well , if hlj has it , you can use the 10% off coupon, but then you might want to confirm the order asap.
