xrentonx Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 So...is the Weapons Plus Pack version made to order? Quote
joppewo Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Yes and no. The Weapons Plus Pack is limited to just 2 orders per account (and Tamashii has stated orders for it will close once it hits the pre-determined quantity), explaining the limited stocks. On the other hand, the regular edition has a limit of 12 orders and doesn't look like it will close early. Edited July 27, 2014 by joppewo Quote
close313 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 The PO for the dash option set will start on 21 August http://gundamguy.blogspot.sg/2014/06/metal-build-gn-001hs-a01-gundam.html Quote
ErikElvis Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 these metal build exias are a definite win. Quote
joppewo Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 oh wow, didn't see the dash parts coming at all Quote
F360 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Wonder how much these option parts gonna cost , but I guess it doesn't really matter because I know I'll just buy first and think later. Quote
Loop Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 I need to be on the look out, are the dash option parts Web shop or general release? Quote
joppewo Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Most likely a web shop exclusive I suppose. Would be weird if it got a general release when the main body is an exclusive. Quote
Loop Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Yeah I guess you are right, I did not even blink an eye when I found the weapons plus version. Maybe I should have read lol, but I was I was kinda late to the pre-order for this so I rushed. Quote
anime52k8 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 It looks cool, but I'm still not a big enough fan of the avalanche armor to actually buy this, I'd much rather get a 00/7S reissue. Or even better, a Metal build Dynames and/or Cherudim Gundam. Quote
F360 Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 So does anyone know what time I should set my alarm to start checking on the normal preorder sites? 9am Japan? Quote
joppewo Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Just check back on Nippon-Yasan later in the day or tomorrow. Since it's a web exclusive, you shouldn't face any issues getting an order in (as it's made to order). Quote
joppewo Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) The dash parts are set for a February release at 3,780 yen: http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/a0011/b0044/item-1000091242/ Up on NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/gundam/8574-metal-build-gundam-avalanche-exia-option-parts-set-limited-edition.html Edited August 22, 2014 by joppewo Quote
F360 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Thanks for the heads up , hmm at 4,320 yen at ny now Quote
mog_kupo Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 Dont know if its the right topic but its a new line by Bandai and it starts with a Gundam Robot Damashii+Metal Build= Metal Robot Damashii 01.............Hi Nu Gundam Quote
eggy99 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 It's an interesting concept. I haven't read any info about then yet, only pictures, so hard to tell how they would compare to GFF MC and MB line. So these will be RD with metal inner frame only? Interested to know what the premium will be over RD line. Has the potential to totally flop like S-HCM Pro line, which was leagues better than RD and actually 1/144 scale. I recently retired my RD Strike Freedom from my detolf, just because it was kind of ugly among the MB/MC 1/100 Gundams. Quote
joppewo Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) From the pictures of the Metal Damashii Hi-Nu, other than diecast joints, it has much more details, colour separation and tampo printing compared to the regular Hi-Nu damashii. Edited August 23, 2014 by joppewo Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 So there's no worry that this new Metal Damashii line will cannibalize the regular Metal Build line (which is what I buy when I collect anything Gundam)? -b. Quote
joppewo Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Hopefully not, but it's too early to make a call. I personally prefer the 1/100 scale of the Metal Build series still. More close up pictures of the Hi-Nu (which looks pretty good). Edited August 23, 2014 by joppewo Quote
eggy99 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Same. I'm only collecting 1/100 now. I just can't go back to the diminutive size of 1/144. It's hard to believe I started with 1/200 HCM-Pro line and the change to 1/144 Super HCM-Pro was fantastic. I hope the MRD line doesn't cannibalize the GFF MC and MB line. As it is we're only getting select hero units. I'm still wait for MC Strike Freedom and AILE/Sword/Launcher Strike (or Perfect Strike). Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 I want a Zaku GFF Metal Composite. Quote
close313 Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Isn't this a similar concept to the Regnant and the Koenig Monster, just in a smaller scale? Quote
joppewo Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Yup^ I wonder if they'll re-release the Kshatriya as a MRD. Would instantly pre-order it Quote
F360 Posted August 25, 2014 Posted August 25, 2014 New pics of the Dash optional parts. more on http://gundamguy.blogspot.com/2014/08/tamashii-web-shop-exclusive-metal-build_22.html#more Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted August 28, 2014 Author Posted August 28, 2014 Finally after a very long time, RD Gundam MK II. , the last time I bought a Gundma MK II was the EMSIA in 2005. Quote
Loop Posted September 1, 2014 Posted September 1, 2014 Well this sucks, Nin-Nin Game just cancelled my order for the Exia Avalanche weapons plus pack version. I was still able to order the non weapons plus pack version elsewhere though, so I guess all is not lost. I really wanted the weapons plus version though. I don't think I will use Nin-Nin again for special pre-orders... Quote
close313 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Oh shi.. whens the PO? I dont wanna miss that! Quote
joppewo Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 No news on the exact date yet. Probably first week of November! Quote
eggy99 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 (edited) I think I saw march 2015 (source: gunjap blog). Probably will skip this. They have to announce MB Strike Freedom soon! Also I cancelled my Avalanche Exia preorder with NY. Realised that 3 Exia was enough for me (normal, trans am, & RE1) Edited October 22, 2014 by eggy99 Quote
joppewo Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Yup, the Banshee Norn will be released in March, close313 was asking for the date pre-orders open on AmiAmi etc I'm kind of tempted to cancel my MB Exia and Dash parts order over at NY too, feeling the Exia fatigue What's more it seems that you can't display it without a stand either... Quote
Scyla Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Have they released a list of extras the Norn will come with? Or is it just what we see in the picture? I really would like to have the claw arm, the rail gun, the miniguns, the bazooka, the regular shield, the.... Quote
chyll2 Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I wonder if we will have a web exclusive with one broken leg Quote
eggy99 Posted October 22, 2014 Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Yup, the Banshee Norn will be released in March, close313 was asking for the date pre-orders open on AmiAmi etc Ah yes. PO not release date I think it will be easy to get a hold of. Regular Banshee wasn't difficult to get. I saw it offered on Amazon US for quite some time with significant discount.
