The price on Figma has really inflated as well which you really only notice if you've been buying them since the beginning. MSiA/EMSiA were in the ¥1500 to ¥2500 price range back in what 2007? Even the early RD Figures were much cheaper. I believe the pre Anime version of the GM Sniper II was around ¥2500 as well. It''s not as nice of a figure obviously. A little less polished with less features but still it was a solid offering. Don't get me wrong the engineering and the base medium have improved greatly but I'm not sure that makes the 200% plus price hike any more palatable. That's not even considering the Tamashii web shop exclusive releases.. I received my effects parts set. Nice setup if you don't want to buy all the various individual figures for the battle damage effect parts. I'd like to see something like this for the thrusters and weapons if it isn't already in the works. Edited July 10, 2020 by bluemax151 Quote
mzhao3 Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 FWIW - I was just googling the Metal Robot Damashii Barbatos Rex and found that the crunchyroll store is selling it for anyone that hasn't gotten a figure. https://store.crunchyroll.com/products/mobile-suit-gundam-iron-blooded-orphans-gundam-barbatos-lupus-rex-bandai-metal-robot-spirits Quote

That would mean we may start tinder the DOM R2 space type released as we have already seen the EFSF space mobile suits for Stardust Memory get released. Quote

That is an excellent point with the releases so far. I might have to re-watch the series and see what we are still missing. That also explains why we have gotten a GP-01 Full Burnern yet. I wonder if Bandai is planning on releasing the Dendorbium or the Neue Ziel to finish off the Stardust Series. I also wonder why they skipped the Z'Gok-E when they were doing the War in the Pocket suits. Quote
sumyumgoy Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I'm loving the releases so far for 0083 but I'm also hoping that Bandai finishes out 0080 as well. There's still a few notable ones missing from that line. Quote

bluemax151 Posted July 14, 2020 Posted July 14, 2020 I'd like to see an RX-77D and a WD's repaint. I won't hold my breath though. I'm also curious if we'll see a AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra released. I've pretty much decided to stick to early UC releases but I've still picked up a few of the other designs that have caught my eye. Mostly just the Mass Produced units. I'm hopeful at some point they will do the 08th MS units again. I have the pre Anime Gouf custom and it's alright. I won't buy as many as I did with MSiA obviously Quote

Other reasons are if i want to get my package earlier when I have a incoming Fedex express saver or those later commitment time packages. If you request to hold at a fedex office before it leaves the stations, they will put a hold a Fedex sticker on it and it will then have a 10:30-12pm comment time. . Quote

This has happened to me multiple times with USPS. My only guess is they are too lazy to walk the package to your door. When the carrier on my route changed this behavior stopped. My Dom Tropen and Shin's Hi-Mo came. I like the addition of the number on the shield and the detail on the shoulder pauldron of Shin's Zaku II that weren't on the MSiA 2.0 Quote

I had to contact them regarding my rg phenexes which were supposed to be shipped back in april, but they never did. They shipped out after i contacted them in early july via live chat. After looking at my previous 3 ticket submissions their live chat stated to submit another ticket request but this time for "shipping change" request (its in the drop down). In short their shipping options weren't great. Only UPS which they wanted an extra 9k (ontop of my 7.5k sal) or ferry with a store credit of 3k. Edited August 11, 2020 by PsYcHoDyNaMiX Quote

I spoke earlier with live chat again this time raising hell and frustration.. towards the end of my rant and complaining he just said he will have NY contact me right away, exactly what the 3 previous live chatters told me. I then concluded indicating I had been a loyal customer since 2016 with a crap load of purchases but never again would I deal with them again.. NY just now responded to my 7/7 (3rd ticket) escalation about an hour ago. They indicated I need to resubmit another ticket, subject lined "Change shipping method" "VERY IMPORTANT : If you wish to change the shipping method, send us a ticket with the subject: Change shipping method."

You may want to check your email spam filter. It sucks having to pay more but with EMS suspended there's not much of a choice. They actually sent me my Heavy Gundam and GM type C (ground) recently.
