calubin_175 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 As expected, both sets of wings of light will be a separate release, along with a special box case to store both the main figure and the option parts like a DVD/Bluray box. Renewal version of the Destiny has changes to markings according to the text, but the photo looks like there will also be a change in colour. http://p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/a0011/b0060/item-1000100741/ Option parts for Metal Builds has become a trend, but not as necessary as the Super Parts and Armored Parts for VFs.

joppewo Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) 7,560JPY though, just for the effects and stands for the full burst. There's also the problem of neither the SF nor Destiny being able to fit into a regular Detolf compartment (height-wise and maybe width as well) with those WoLs on Edited November 19, 2015 by joppewo Quote
calubin_175 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I actually own the Robot Damashii equivalent of SF+effects and Destiny+Wings of light. Time to retire the low tier toy, just like I did with the Unicorns. Quote
F360 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 7,560 yen.... only inculde 1 set of WOL with Dragoon attachments and special sleeves sure the effect parts will be using a 3 layer honycomb array len sheet that captures and reflects light nicely but come on Bandai, 7,560 yen? whoever set the price for this probably set the price for their STAR GaoGaiGar option set too.

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Waiting for ko wings for 15 bucks Quote
SuperHobo Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Bandai milking the fans there. I would have liked to have those stands for the dragoons to come with the actual release of the toy. Whatever I can do without this add-on. Quote
calubin_175 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Waiting for ko wings for 15 bucks I think KO option parts releases are only possible for p-Bandai Gunpla items. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) hmm... maybe i need some encouragement... just curious, who's pre ordering the wings of light for strike freedom. need some peer pressure Edited November 19, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote
Loop Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) I am are they on pre-order yet? Edited November 19, 2015 by Loop Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I am are they on pre-order yet? they said 11/20 start on website "November 20, 2015 16:00" Quote
eggy99 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I've got the RD Strike Freedom with wings of light, and it's not great. The wings are quite impressive, and massive which leads to them bringing the whole RD figure tumbling down off the stand into a heap. They're just too much for the RD Strike Freedom, which is already one of the earlier RD toys so the engineering isn't that good. On a MB the wings of light will be much better due to the strength and weight of the MB. Hopefully the dragoon wings aren't floppy. @ $85 AUD, I'm still interested in getting these. Heck I paid something like $50+ for the RD ones back in the day. But pre order opens tomorrow, and I have no money to allocate to an upfront pre order if it's the same as RD Heine Destiny... Quote

F360 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I will most likely be preordering it , but not from nippon-yasan Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 i cancelled 2x 0s so i have some credit i can use towards this. Quote
joppewo Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Seems like MB SF is out in the market already, saw one pop-up on Mandarake Quote
SuperHobo Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Come on sweet sweet payment request. Give my money some freedom! Quote
joppewo Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) NY: https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/14650-metal-build-strike-freedom-gundam-wings-of-light-option-set-limited-edition.html No pay later option again. Kinda baffled by their choice of when to allow the pay later option for Tamashii web exclusives. Ordered one. Don't foresee much issue on this with an order limit of 24 set on the webshop.

calubin_175 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I am not sure how probable are preorder madness conditions for web exclusive Metal Builds. Heine Destiny may have been an exception due to production limits, but the SF Wings of Light would need to at least match the supply of the Metal Build SF. I am not sure how were the preorder conditions for the MB 00 Raiser and Exia Avalanche in the past. Don't know whether they closed within the usual 3 month window. Quote
Scyla Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Ok I know I said I don't need the MB Strike Freedom but the pictures make him look pretty sexy. If I find one after release at places like BBTS or Toysource I might cave. Quote

I am not sure how were the preorder conditions for the MB 00 Raiser and Exia Avalanche in the past. Don't know whether they closed within the usual 3 month window. MB Exia Avalanche, the regular version took a long time to close, probably couple of weeks? The weapon-plus pack on the other hand closed in less than 30 minutes (it had the same 2 order limit as Heine Destiny). As for the Dash add-on parts, I think NY only closed orders when it was near the official Tamashii deadline for it. MB 00 Raiser also took awhile IIRC, but that's cos the MB line was fairly new at that point. Quote
Shukenzero Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 hmm... maybe i need some encouragement... just curious, who's pre ordering the wings of light for strike freedom. need some peer pressure Got myself my strike freedom this afternoon and preordered a set of wings. Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Got myself my strike freedom this afternoon and preordered a set of wings. was the strike easy to find or was this your pre order from a while ago. Quote
Shukenzero Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) was the strike easy to find or was this your pre order from a while ago.I preordered. They pretty much closed preorders within an hour of putting them up at the shop. As a comparison even hot items take a few days to sell out, so you can see the demand. I know one of the guys so after it closed he squeezed in a preorder for me. Haven't gone home yet so I'll have to take a peek later.Apparently mine is the Asia edition, but as usual it is the same as the Japanese release. However there's not a lot of stock and the Japanese version will be arriving soon to meet demand. Edited November 19, 2015 by Shukenzero Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Congrats on getting the strike. I cant wait till they come in:) Quote
Shukenzero Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Congrats on getting the strike. I cant wait till they come in:) Thanks man! Hope you can nab one yourself. Absolutely beautiful looking unit. Quote

MB 00 Raiser also took awhile IIRC, but that's cos the MB line was fairly new at that point. Thanks, now I know even web exclusive items are not immune to preorder madness conditions. The MP Hyakushiki Gunpla got closed in a few weeks as well. So the MB Avalanche Exia(normal) was initially 19440 yen(incl tax) and its post release after market price was minimum 28k +. Usually if there is a regular and premium version on offer(i.e Ka Signature Penelope and Marking Plus Version), the superior version will also go up in price earlier. At the moment, regular Penelope is on discount while the Marking Plus one is steady. Edited November 19, 2015 by calubin_175 Quote

Looks like it'll be worth buying a second Destiny or third since the colour is gonna have a slight change. Quote
F360 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 The Metal Build Heine Custom is up on Bandia's premium site , no problem adding 2 to cart , just can't buy it since I don't live in Japan , boooo. Quote
joppewo Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Seems like news of the Destiny renewal drove people away from the Heine Custom Quote
Shukenzero Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Seems like news of the Destiny renewal drove people away from the Heine Custom I bought a Heine, that's why I'm not interested hehe... Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 is there an announcement of an announcement for pre orders of destiny renewal you guys think it's coming up soon? Quote
seti88 Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 is there an announcement of an announcement for pre orders of destiny renewal you guys think it's coming up soon? Am more concerned abt cashflow! There are seriously a lot of stuff coming out tht ....sigh....i.dont.thk.i.can.get.... Quote
Shukenzero Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 Man the cash flow problem is worsening with Bandai's crazy rereleases and slew of new figures. Still won't deter me from the Destiny preorders Quote
Loop Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 I did not get 2x of the destiny the first time around so I may just snag 1x of the reissue with the new marking. Since I can't find a Heine custom for under $300 atm I may just let it slide. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted November 19, 2015 Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) I did not get 2x of the destiny the first time around so I may just snag 1x of the reissue with the new marking. Since I can't find a Heine custom for under $300 atm I may just let it slide. Tell me about it. And what was the deal with N-Y cancelling orders? Was it from their first batch of orders or the one that just opened? Either way that sucks. -b. *Edit - never mind, I see that it's from N-Y's first (and so far only) batch of pre-orders Edited November 19, 2015 by Kanedas Bike Quote
