Gundam Figure Thread - Newtype GN-002

[Shukenzero]

Question is...when do preorders open?!

[Scyla]

I wonder if we will see a MP Strike Freedom with the wings of light bundle as a web shop exclusive soon. I passed on it when some units where available after release at BBTS due to funds (and I don't really need them) but a bundle would tempt me especially with the Destiny announced.

[chyll2]

It's a Tamashii web exclusive, so instead of a discount, expect to pay MSRP +8% tax (28,080JPY) and whatever fees respective shops decide to add-on.

You should probably be looking at the range of 29,000 - 30,000 JPY.

okay, I missed that part, your figures is the correct one and the estimate is good.

[calubin_175]

Full package should include the special cover box that houses the wings and the main figure box.

most likely same time frame as 00 raiser, or a few years like destiny reissue

What was the time frame for the 00 Raiser?

[Shukenzero]

Preordered at my usual place. Two full sets but no final price yet. He will let me know the amount when the time comes. Don't wanna deal with NY preorder madness

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

i had funds from a cancelled vf-0s and asked my contact to use it toward Mb destiny

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

What was the time frame for the 00 Raiser?

oh, yeah, you may want to google release date for seven sword and raiser, i'm a bit foggy myself.

Maybe they will do a special coating version like what they did with MB freedom.

MB Destiny P-Bandai links up:

Opens on 28th January, 19:00 JST

Full Package: http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000101871/

WoL: http://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000101872/

Be wary of NY if they have order open for too long.

Order limit of 2 imposed on both (SF's WoL had limit of 24/order)

considering how fast the MB Heine Custom was sold out on 1st batch, I would hope Bandai will have a much bigger 1st batch for this MB Destiny full package. Or at least have multiply batches.

[calubin_175]

The description reserved the possibility of later production batches and later ship out dates if demand is good.

I think the colour tone looks a bit different from the original, as the new one looks more like anime colour, but only time will tell. I think even the two Metal Build 00 ended with the same colour tone.

Why is it 18,000+ normally but they charge over 47,000!?

Collectors price. It is a pre-owned item.

Collectors price. It is a pre-owned item.

You'd think that with the preorder around the corner it'd be cheaper.

[F360]

don't forget , preorder starts 01-28-2016 (19:00 JST)

that's USA West-coast Thursday morning 2 am PST

I know right! Only a hardcore collector would pay that as it is slightly different markings to the re-release.

Too bad re-release is Web exclusive this time. I can't preorder and pay in Oct.

[calubin_175]

Wow, the preowned item is still there.

Surprised that there is still one unopened after 2 years(Released Dec 2013).

at that price, it is better to check other site. You can get a MISB for that price for example at Mandarake. Anyway, if you are willing to spend that amount, it is better to wait and try PO the Full package.

Chances are that NY, BiJ etc might put up listings earlier.

Sitting this one out, hopefully everyone who wants a set manages to secure it

damn it's gone again but thankfully i already have him on pre-order in 2 places.

[calubin_175]

Bandai website crashed.

Oh well, settled for auction at 38k. Some going for 40k.

MB Destiny circas around 32k+ now. Wings are 6600+ yen.

I am pretty sure they will have a second batch later, or at least just for the figure.

Speaking of which MB Strike Freedom is now 45k. I though 34k auction preorder was expensive andit stayed at that price on the first week.

[HG Blows]

Man, that's a bummer about Destiny, didn't realize it was such a popular MS. Hopefully they'll produce more.

Is there an official release date for Red Frame yet?

[Guest davidwhangchoi]

LOL only 2...

[Loop]

Crap, I spaced on these 2. Have been on pain meds because of a back problem which make me sleepy. I might be able to get the wings of light alone though for my original Destiny. I wanted to snag the full package one though and a set of the wings of light, but I can settle for just the wings.
