Loop Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 I want the Banshee norn, I hope I don't miss the pre-order date. Quote
joppewo Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 20,000 Yen w/o tax. @Loop, it should be pretty easy to get a pre-order in on this even if you miss out on AmiAmi / HS etc. BlueFin should be bringing it in for NA, and it will be available at Amazon at a later date too I believe? Quote

Cool, I usually end up getting them from BBTS if I miss out on the JP sites but there is long delay after release. Sometimes I just get impatient lol. Quote
joppewo Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Pre-orders will open on 30th October 16:00 JST. Quote

eggy99 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Those beam wings are awesome. Wonder if they do a re-release special version with the beam wings. Might be swayed to get it. Secret MB better be Strike Freedom. XD Quote
chyll2 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 looks like they have metal where it is needed. Quote
joppewo Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 (edited) Just in from CyberGundam: 10/31解禁公開: METAL BUILD 1/100 Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Interesting choice if true, another mold for Bandai to milk? Blue / Red frames + the various configurations Edited October 30, 2014 by joppewo Quote
Loop Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Is the beam wing release only available at the Yamasaki nation event? How could I get ahold of a set? Quote
joppewo Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Is the beam wing release only available at the Yamasaki nation event? How could I get ahold of a set? No news on its release at the moment. Most likely a web exclusive sometime later. High chance of a MB Destiny re-issue as well I guess Quote

chyll2 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 was not a fan of destiny until they released that MB destiny But it really needs a Strike Freedom to go along with Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 RD Hyakushiki looking but RD Gundam MKII meh.... The decade old EMSIA Gundam MKII still looks better. Quote
eggy99 Posted October 30, 2014 Posted October 30, 2014 Just in from CyberGundam: 10/31解禁公開: METAL BUILD 1/100 Gundam Astray Gold Frame Amatsu Interesting choice if true, another mold for Bandai to milk? Blue / Red frames + the various configurations Strange choice, but Astray is a nice design with lots of detail. Expect to see lots of variants. All 3 would look splendid together. Quote
joppewo Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) News trifling out of Twitter seems to confirm that the new MB is indeed the Gold Frame Amatsu Edited October 31, 2014 by joppewo Quote
eggy99 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 ...... I should have actually looked up what the gold frame amatsu looked like... I assumed it would be close to a red and blue frame.... I'm not a fan. Such a strange Gundam to choose. Is it a popular unit in Japan? Seems very risky is it isn't a fan favourite. Quote
ErikElvis Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Yeah I have no clue what that one is or where its from but I like the metal build line so Ill prob get it. def have to see better pics first. and you guys have to help me out in this thread. for some reason i can't keep up with metal build releases and catch them late. here's about the only place i see the news. Quote
joppewo Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Many people in Japan are feeling surprised over the MB Gold Frame as well. The general consensus prior to the unveiling was either the Strike Freedom, Qan[T] or Lancelot Albion. Anyway this was just posted in Toys Daily forums under items not shown yesterday: ・メタル・ストフリ（完全新規造詣） Looks like a Metal Damashii Freedom with a completely new mold. And if that's the Metal Hi-Nu behind, then it looks like both the Freedom and Justice are getting the Metal Damashii treatment? Edited October 31, 2014 by joppewo Quote
close313 Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 Honestly I'd kill myself if I missed the pre-order for the MB Amatsu. Quote

It is a manga and a side story to the Anime series. For better news, I usually go to Gundam Guy website for the news since they usually post it hours, if not minutes, after the news or leaks happens. I suggest to make an alarm on Nov 21 to 23 since bandai event will start and they will unveil a lot of products there (PG unicorn display unit, Macross display as hinted by VF-19 advance, etc) Quote
Scyla Posted October 31, 2014 Posted October 31, 2014 It seems I'm unable to get a preorder in from a Japanese base store for any Metal Build or Fixed Figuration toys. Quote
Loop Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 So far I have every Metal Build figure released including the ARX-8 Laevetein, but I am not so sure I like this gold frame design. I need to see better pictures to decide. Quote
joppewo Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 Official reveal on Tamashii website next week I guess. From a business point of view, the gold frame makes complete sense, since it'll allow Bandai to re-use the mold over and over again (like Exia ) Quote
chyll2 Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 the astray frame has lots of potential for milking Quote
Scyla Posted November 1, 2014 Posted November 1, 2014 I'm still debating if I should preorder both of the Fix Figuration Awakening Unicorns. It seems I missed all the preorders from the Japanese retailers and while I love the Unicorn design I already have the Robot Damashii versions. To be honest I would rather buy into the Metal Build Gundam 00 figures but the Avalanche Exia is also sold out and too expensive over at BBTS. I wonder if I should wait for the release date to see if stock becomes available. On the other hand I should probably save the money to buy something that fits into my collection. Then again I'm curious how the Metal Build / Fix Figuration toys feel in hand. Oh well First World problems. Quote
eggy99 Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 GFF MC Banshee Norn order stop at HLJ already @ ¥18,000. Fully expect to see this on Mandarake for decent price after release, and also on Amazon US for sub $150 like the GFF MC Banshee. Also the Freedom and Justice were revealed as just regular RD, and not MRD. Quote
joppewo Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Hmmm... golden joints... *cough* test-bed for Strike Freedom? Edited November 4, 2014 by joppewo Quote
ErikElvis Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 That thing looks freakin awesome. Count me in. Quote
Scyla Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 I'm much more interested in a Red and Blue Frame. Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) well, it's got one compete arm from blitz gundam, do you think they could expand on that and give us the rest of the mech? Edited November 4, 2014 by anime52k8 Quote
Loop Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) Wow! that looks 20x better in that pic, I think I am in for one. Does anyone know when any of these new things go up on pre-order? I want the beam wings and the gold frame. Edited November 5, 2014 by Loop Quote

Oh I forgot to mention BBTS will up the price on anything labeled "Tamashii Webshop exclusive" but the general releases are priced rather well. Quote

I want the beam wings and the gold frame. No release information on both at the moment. I'll post updates on them once they're out, so check back on this thread every now and then Quote
