Ems too, so it was out in the wild less than a week Mine was even worse. Ordered off eBay (my only available option). Waited two weeks despite having paid for EMS, and then when it showed up, it wasn't even in an outer box. Just bubble wrap and paper. I was PISSED, to say the least. Fortunately the product inside was undamaged, but the box is pretty banged up. Quote

Yup just the 03 on the shoulder and RNPC on the tail binder. I already have 02 so I'll probably skip it unless I see it for a big discount on Mandarake. Quote

kajnrig Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Um... not sure where this best fits, so I'm just gonna spam a couple threads with it. Don't hate me too much. Bandai buys Bluefin for its US market distribution: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-09-21/bandai-namco-acquires-bluefin-establishes-u.s-toy-company/.137100 Quote
anime52k8 Posted September 22, 2018 Posted September 22, 2018 Sounds promising, hopefully it means even greater availability and lower prices for the North American market. Also hopefully more exclusive stuff showing up in the US. Quote

F360 Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 Hi-Resolution Model Gundam Wing EW (ka?) Quote
kajnrig Posted September 28, 2018 Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) "Colonies Liberation Organization" is still the most hilarious, stupid thing ever. EDIT: It wouldn't be a Ver Ka. It's not even a Ver EW, really. It, or at least the HRM Wing Zero, is an entirely original design based on the Ver Ka and taking cues from the Glory of the Losers manga adaptation, wherein the Wing Zero goes through many many revisions throughout the course of the story. This specific design is unique to this model kit. (The GFFMC Wing Zero more closely mirrors one of the newer GoL revisions.) Edited September 28, 2018 by kajnrig Quote

eggy99 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 The 1007 is a solid piece. Not much accessories and limited articulation though. Still a fantastic mold and has a great look next to Metal Build 00 releases. The grey colour is great! Quote
brannon Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 So I forgot I ordered 2 metal build Aile Stryker from entertainment earth so if anyone needs one let me know Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 They're building a large model of the White Base in scale with their released Robot Damashii Gundam figures for Tamashii Nation 2018. The model is using the Robot Damashii White Base Catapult Deck set. So cool looking. http://blog.livedoor.jp/nation2018/archives/12492234.html Quote
General Rasp Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 The Infinite Justice just came in yesterday. This release has much better tolerance with the joints than the Strike Freedom. That one was very tight and difficult to pose the legs. I felt I was stressing the plastic trying to move the joints sometimes. The Justice can keep the pose and move easily. Good balance also with the body, it can stand by itself with the backpack down. I also like how the backpack attaches to the body. There are four points of connection when the backpack is upright, and you don't need the stand to support the flight unit. Unless it is disconnected from the body. And I have never seen so many beam effect parts for one figure. Very happy with the Justice and hopefully I can pose both on an Action Base 4 or 5. Quote
Archer Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 They really need to do a metal build Justice or Aegis. It's just begging for the metal build treatment and would easily sell hotcakes. I still don't understand how the astrays got metal builds but not the Justice. Quote

anime52k8 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Justice is the best suit in SEED, I think that's why Bandai doesn't make stuff of it. Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 As much as I love to see his Justice units in Metal Build formats, I rather see a Metal Build Aegis first. Aegis is my top 1 Athrun's mobile suit. Who can not love a Metal Build Aegis? And I wouldn't mind if Bandai will reuse the red color they used for Astraea Type F. Quote

eXis10z Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 With Aile Strike release, here's to hoping they release the other 4 base suits. I've always felt the 5 base suits were purposeful and more "grounded" than the rest of suits to come after. Really want a MB Blitz. Quote
Scyla Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Got my MB Destiny Heine Custom last week and although I'm not a fan of the color orange something about this figure works for me. It is quite stunning. The mold is still good but I think the legs could be a bit more bulky/stylized/proportionated. They are pretty straight compared to the rest of the figure. So I guess I need to get a variant of the MB Strike Freedom to balance out the shelfs. Quote
eggy99 Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 MB Destiny missed leg day. Heine Destiny still on my wishlist. I really love the orange paint scheme. I just need the funds. Quote
anime52k8 Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 Where are my GFFMC wing suits. I want more GFFMC wing suits. Quote
