They really made it hard with this limited to 2 per person.

But maybe they will have this up at the US P bandai site when they supposedly relaunch in September. 

Oh. The Gunbarrel is limited to 2 per person? That will be hard for people who wants to get more than 2. I didn’t order the Gunbarrel so I didn’t know. Sorry about that.  

I hope that when they releaunched US P-Bandai, it wouldn’t be hard to get exclusive items from them.

Cant afford it but man, that is beautiful.

Am waiting for MB GP01-03 bandai! Pls make it happen!

Out of this three, the Stamen would look super sweet in a Metal Build format.

hey all, just a random question of a comment a read. is there any truth to a rumor that there's an EVA-01 metal build?

Has anyone's MB Strike from CDJapan shipped?

If it shows "in shipping process" from your order history then you should receive a Shipped email soon. 

I just received my shipped email for the hi-metal R just now.  (they were released on the same date as the Strike)

 

I preordered the MB strike in the same order as the DX yf-19 , so I just assumed they will ship everything together next month.

I just got a shipping notice for mine, and a tracking number. They seem to have sent out a batch of emails and boxes, since it shows up 2min after my HMR shipping notice.

Thanks a lot guys. I was under impression shipping will be delayed as I received there's some festival till 15th from another Japanese site.

 

Edit: Just got my shipped mail after posting this msg.

Just a head's-up on a 30% off coupon Tokyo Otaku Mode are running on figures through August 31. Works on preorders, too. Kudos to F360.

There's some neat stuff there. The Gundam stuff I saw from a quick perusal include the

Metal Robot Damashii 00 Raiser
Robot Damashii FA 0 Gundam
the recent Zeta Plius C1 figure, forget the line
other Robot Damashii figures
some Formania busts

oh interesting. i wonder if it's legit or fake now

 

[seti88]

seems there is some expectation of a MB eva...

Piece this with the mystery square on the tamashi website, and it might just be that bandai is gonna launch an evangalion product line...

cant remember where that mystery square is now, but bandai was putting a ? on another series line...

The color is a giveaway. Plus we are getting the final shinkalion movie this 2020(unless it get delayed again)

[Archer]

Any news regarding the Metal Build Crossbone that was teased a while back? Hope that's not vaporware 

[eggy99]

Another MB AILE Strike review.

Lots of nice gimmicks. I especially like that the feet can be lengthened.

One of the features I dislike is the diecast on the outside of the toy. It's too garish for my tastes. The blue looks much brighter in this review compared to the blog review I posted previously.

[F360]

Just got another reminder from us-p-bandai on the revamp and re-registration coming sep-4th.

http://us.p-bandai.asia/contents/announcement/

 

i will be ready for all their web exclusive preorders.

Mine too, Pre-order night is going to suck.

Says more details will be released Friday 24 Aug.

Should a new Metal Build (Other series) topic be created for Eva and other MBs? 

This topic is strictly for Gundam Figures.

Normally another topic will pop up later ,but this thread has been use for metal build general news ever since bandai branched out to other series besides gundam.  I think it made it easier for people to get news updates on metal build products.

Hey guys. I've updated the thread I created earlier from the Evangelion post to a 'general thread' so we can focus on the Metal Build discussions from any series. I also added a poll if you like to continue any future or upcoming MB Gundam figures announcement there too so this thread will not have any non-Gundam MB announcements. 

Let me know.

I hope they will also have some of these for preorder when they relaunch the us-p bandai site.

Let’s hope it will. If not, I’ll panic as same as David.

I guess the MB Aile Strike release was kind of a dud. I'm starting to regret buying it.

What do you mean? It's still sold out almost everywhere I look (without a markup at least). 

[Falcon]

Anyone able to get the MB Gunbarrel Strike?

Can't seem to get be able to order an exclusive at all.

I'm wondering as well, that was the first thing I've heard about it that wasn't positive.
