Sanity is Optional Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 How is the Strike Freedom? I know it's popular and expensive on the secondary market, but how's the build quality of the figure? Well made? Quote

I know it's popular and expensive on the secondary market, but how's the build quality of the figure? Well made? I'd say it is a very well made figure. Great articulation, no loose joints, and backpack is secure. If you want it cheaper, you can always try the KO metalclub Strike Freedom. At a display distance of 1 foot, you'd be hard pressed to notice any major differences between the KO and the official bandai build. Quote
no3Ljm Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Hmmm. Perhaps, maybe they meant 'new markings' than 'new color'? But... I'll try to score one if ever. To replace my KO. Quote

bleecher Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 The color differences are very subtle, the dragoons have color separation at the tip now and a told line across the length of the fin, the gold looks to be a different shade, and the beige/gray colored parts on the old figure now appear to be pure gray. Though you're getting additional red markings, the right skirt loses it's blue paint and unit designation. Quote
eXis10z Posted July 19, 2018 Posted July 19, 2018 Given how popular this gundam is and the price it commands on the secondary market now, it will be a real pain to PO. Quote

mog_kupo Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 I don't know what this silloute could mean but seems an add-on for the upcoming Striker Quote

Not a big fan of that option so I'll have to pass on that. I'll rather wait for the Sword & Launcher Pack plus the Perfect Strike Pack instead. Money saved for the time being. Quote

Kanedas Bike Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 Well sh!t, I'm definitely down to get a MB Strike Freedom. Hopefully they won't be too difficult to get. I sold my original awhile ago and I've been kicking myself ever since. -b. Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 i have 3x copies. i might get another for the new marking Quote

No. It was event exclusive and lottery thru their web shop. However, I'm not sure where NY got their stocks afterwards. 44 minutes ago, Kanedas Bike said: Yep, keeping my fingers crossed for us!

F360 Posted July 25, 2018 Posted July 25, 2018 I hope it's a straight web shop exclusive after the event, and NOT some lottery one like the vf-31Kai. Quote

eggy99 Posted July 26, 2018 Posted July 26, 2018 just a heads up, with the recent PO announcement of the DX VF-1J, if I can secure 2 to 3 POs, I will be cancelling my PO for my Metal Build AILE Strike Gundam at HLJ, but if there are any Australian collectors who still need to secure a preorder, I can hold on to it and have it shipped directly to you. NOTE: I can't ship HLJ items to countries other than Australia. I'll post in the for sale section if I am successful at securing my POs. Quote

Just gonna be waiting patiently for the eventual Strike Rouge Otoori, Strike E w/IWSP, Perfect Strike, and Strike Noir. Still waiting on Bandai to do that Astray Blue Frame 2nd Revise though. Quote
