anime52k8 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Yep, I've still got all three of them. Quote
areaseven Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 If I recall, the U.S. market received a lot of MSIAs that either never saw a Japanese release or came in much later. I had the Deluxe Albion Playset, and it was pretty sweet once I panel lined it. I also hooked up MilkManX with the MSIA Re-GZ & Back Weapon System Set, which I think didn't hit Japan until several months later. Quote
Beltane70 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 I always meant to get both the Albion and Musai sets, but never got around to getting them. I did however, buy Re-GZ set. Quote
ErikElvis Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 super excited I have the metal build destiny coming this week. If its anything like the Exia it should be great. Quote
SuperHobo Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 super excited I have the metal build destiny coming this week. If its anything like the Exia it should be great. Exia seems a little simple compared to the MB destiny. Destiny is super spiky, has neat sliding panels in the knees, chest and wings. The engineering in the weapons are also pretty cool. It should be an awesome piece for you man. I will say make sure you have the side skirts pointed away from the body because they could get caught under the torso and cause some paint chipping. A definite improvement over the MB freedom. Quote
anime52k8 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 honestly, I skipped MB Destiny mainly because it was so spiky. Quote
DarrinG Posted April 16, 2014 Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) What is the difference between the Metal Composite Ka and the MC Origin figure? ---- never mind - found this video review: Edited April 16, 2014 by DarrinG Quote
joppewo Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) So it seems like we're getting the 1/35 Metal Composite RX-78-2 that was displayed at TamashiiNations2013 later this year http://gundamguy.blogspot.sg/2014/04/gundam-fix-figuration-metal-composite.html Edited April 24, 2014 by joppewo Quote
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 So it seems like we're getting the 1/35 Metal Composite RX-78-2 that was displayed at TamashiiNations2013 later this year http://gundamguy.blogspot.sg/2014/04/gundam-fix-figuration-metal-composite.html PG kits are in 1/60 scale, right? Holy crap this thing is gonna be huge. So will its price, I imagine. Quote
joppewo Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 Yup PG's are 1/60. No confirmation thus far if it'll really be in 1/35 though, only TagHobby seems to put a scale to it at the moment. Might have to shift the funds I saved up to buy the Metal Build Trans AM 00 Raiser for this instead Quote
Archer Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 They promo'd that 1/35 GFF 4 years ago, but it never went on sale. IIRC, it's a non movable statue (well, the hatches work), and Bandai reps were saying a price tag of about $800 - $1000. Again, that was 4 years ago. We don't know what's changed, or why they decided to bring this back. Quote
Loop Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 I don't think I will be able to swing something priced as such although it's huge. I am not even sure how this would fit in to my collection either, guess I will just look at it from afar lol. Quote

joppewo Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 So the Metal Build Freedom is getting a re-issue in August: http://tamashii.jp/item/1667/ Hoping for a Seven Swords re-issue instead now Quote
eggy99 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 waiting for a MB Strike Freedom announcement. Quote
joppewo Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 The Strike Freedom is in the early development stages if I'm not wrong. Was posted somewhere in the robotjapan forums earlier this month. Quote
anime52k8 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Hoping for a Seven Swords re-issue instead now yes please. Quote
Loop Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Yeah I love my Seven Swords, I would like for everyone to be able to get one. I think they should have started with that then go fwd with the rest of the MB catalog. Bandai loves to tease their customers. Quote
eggy99 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2014/06/metal-build-gn-001hs-a01-gundam.html Didn't see that coming. Milking Exia mold even more. Thinking if I really need another Exia. Avalanche Exia is pretty awesome though. Where is the Strike Freedom?!?! Quote
anime52k8 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 not sure if want. it'll be expensive and I don't really need a second one, but that is kind of cool. Quote
eggy99 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2014/06/gundam-fix-metal-composite-unicorn.html And GFF MC Unicorn with the green psycho frame is announced. Wonder if it comes as Full Armor version. If it's the same mold without improvement to the articulation I'll stick to the 2 prism coats I have. I really wish it had better poseability. Banshee Norn soon too? Quote
joppewo Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 (edited) I think that the Full Armor Parts might see a web exclusive release, adding it as a full release might bump up the cost too high. Either way I'll prob grab myself two of the Green Psychoframe. The Banshee wasn't that well received I think, so Bandai may not be so keen for a Norn. Fingers crossed! It's only a matter of time now that we'll get a MB Qan[T] and probably a recolour variation or full burst for TamashiiNations exclusive down the road eh. Edited June 24, 2014 by joppewo Quote
Scyla Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 So the preorders for the Gundam Fix Figuration Unicorn Awakened Mode are already gone? When did the listing start? Quote
joppewo Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 They started on the 10th. NY listed on the 11th and it was up for quite a long while there. Quote
Loop Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Scyla, BBTS has it still on pre-order. I got one there, it's 199.99 but that seems pretty fair for a stateside pre-order. I figure with the paypal conversion rate and EMS I would have paid that anyway. I am not sure what HLJ was charging because they always go back to list price when the pre-order closes, so it's @ 197 USD. Quote
close313 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Metalbuild Avalanche Exia's up for pre order at NY https://www.nippon-yasan.com/gundam/8213-metal-build-gundam-avalanche-exia-limited-edition.html Quote
eggy99 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 That brings me up to 4 Exias now. It would be 5 if I could find the original Exia/R3 release for cheap to convert into R2 Exia. Quote
DarrinG Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Think this is the right thread for this - kind of a Gundam novice. I picked up a Gundam Metal Fix #1004 - really, really like the piece. Such a hefty, solid feel. Lots of extras and the tampo is so crazy awesome. Took some outdoors shots before I packed it up . . . Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Yeah, it's a great figure, this ver ka RX-78 has the best proportions IMO. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I really like the origin version better. Still waiting for a reissue. Hopefully with the movies coming out they pump out reissues along with a zaku II Quote
eggy99 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 Looking good! I would have gotten this one if not for the Origin version. Quote
eggy99 Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 If anyone is looking for a pretty cheap MC Banshee. http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-1489506.html ¥12,000 Was almost tempted, but I'd prefer if it was Banshee Norn. Quote
joppewo Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) ^ditto. It's highly probable that the Norn will be a Tamashii exclusive in my opinion *fingers crossed* And I like how "severely damaged" is a slight tear on the upper side of the box Edited July 26, 2014 by joppewo Quote
ErikElvis Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 I have that banshee and I really wasn't impressed with it. I guess what rely bothered me ws the gold. It really looked too toy like. Quote
Loop Posted July 26, 2014 Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) Metalbuild Avalanche Exia's up for pre order at NY https://www.nippon-yasan.com/gundam/8213-metal-build-gundam-avalanche-exia-limited-edition.html They are out of the [Weapons Plus Pack] version, so I pre-ordered one off nin-nin. They said they don't charge until it ships, but my CC was charged and this won't be out until Dec. For some reason BBTS raped on the pre-order price for this release.
