Metal Build Red Frame to be web exclusive as it said "reservation date pending".

Phenex is regular retail.

I must say the choice of gold decals is poor for the Heine colour, it blends in too much. Due to the lack of contrast with the orange and red, it really does look like an "event random color exclusive", rather than a separate legitimate in universe color variation. But then again, TM Revolution colors was really forced on anyway.

I guess it all boils down to preference, I actually like this exclusive better, I liked the gold/yellow to orange to red colors though I doubt I will be able to get one close to SRP so I might skip it as well (since I prioritize Valks now)

Tamashii Nation 2015 exclusive on 30th October 2015.

Anyone interested?

Yahoo Auction Japan is already listing it for 26,000 yen, a substantial mark up. I think scalpers will be camping outside before open and the Metal Build figures will be gone within the first hour.

Meanwhile, the auction price of Strike Freedom has dropped down to 31k. I think it may fare similar to the Astray Gold Frame in terms of production numbers.

F360, did you get to pre order one?

no, I missed too. I wasn't expecting them to post it so early. so when I was checking around for the new Takara Diaclone Dia-Battles V2, I saw the bad news.

※開催記念商品は、イベント終了後『魂ウェブ商店』でも販売を予定しております。

Seems like it'll be offered on the Tamashii web-store eventually. Most likely lottery based I guess

Historically, it may just be from the same production run, so lottery based is likely.

So what Tamashii Event items had been offered through web-store post event previously?

Posted (edited)

I believe that all the Tamashii Nations event exclusives from 2012 (MB Trans-AM Raiser onwards) have been offered on a lottery basis.

Not too sure about the previous years for GFFMC Psyco MK I (H.K Night) & RX78-2 Roll-out, although these were made available at various gundam events around where I live.

Thats some good connection you got there .

if you're looking for one nin nin game has it for pre order. Personally i heard some crappy things about the site re: taking more pre orders than they can deliver and then taking time to get a refund but some have successfully got stuff from them.

I never used Nin-nin-games before, and with this release they are probably going to take more than they can deliver, so I'll see what happens closer to release.

Now that they are doing a recoloring, I wonder if they will every announce the Wing of light kit that they tease us with.

It makes more sense then Psycho gundam, There's almost nothing in the way of toys/models for Queen Mansa, this is really the first opportunity to get it as a large toy.

Nin-nin is evil. They always claim to have stock and they don't. You also have to chase them for refunds or equivalent amount vouchers.

For mainstream stuff they should be okay, but not for event and web shop exclusives.

I ordered a Heine Destiny from YJA via middleman.

Ok, I just found something awesome on Taobao and is wondering if any of you can recommend a good agent to get stuff from them.

I bet some of you can already guess what I'm trying to get. :):p

But I'm no good at those guessing games so here it is. Metal Saga - RTX-008 Vanishing Trooper ( Huckebein )

Fanmade metal build :wub::wub: for a good price too.

http://suprememecha.blogspot.com/2015/10/review-metal-saga-rtx-008-vanishing.html

It's $200 on Aliexpress but should be much cheaper on Taobao even with with agent fee and international shipping fee (under $150)

Taobao is definitely cheaper, if you get one, let me know how well the production quality is. Not sure how much diecast is in it. Japnaese reviewer said the painting is similar to Bandai's.

Review here.

http://www.inask.net/blog-entry-566.html

There is a joint strength diagram, with green being the tightest, and red being the worst. There is no waist articulation.

I think this agent should be okay, haven't used it before.

Thanks, I'm definitely going to get it, just deciding on which seller now. It seems many seller still don't have them instock yet so I was inform with a 2 week wait.

and only a few were able to get them early. I found 2 video reviews on youku which talk about some of the QC issues, many minor ones.

The waist does turn left an right, just no arch up and down. And the Hands look cheap.

here's link to the video.

Looks like the MB Destiny (Heine Custom) will be available as a regular Tamashii web-store exclusive, instead of lottery based :o : [url=http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/item_05.html]http://tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/item_05.

The other 4 exclusives with the blue box text are lottery based.

I'd have Bandai reissuing the regular MB Destiny (along with the Gundam00 suits). ^_^ Second market prices aren't easy on the eyes nowadays.
