kajnrig Posted September 30, 2017 Posted September 30, 2017 Oh, is this a 1/60 kit to go with the 1/60 Laevatein? I had a blast with that kit, and I had thought this one would go the way of the dodo (its last appearance was an unpainted prototype from a year or two ago). I'm glad to see it coming back. Hopefully there'll be a reissue of the Laevatein as well. So that's the two 1/60 Kotobukiya kits, the three Aoshima 1/48 re-issues plus their own Laevatein kit, the Almecha Arbalest, and the upcoming Metal Build Arbalest to go with the Metal Build Laevatein. Phew. Gonna have to stock up on ramen now... Quote
F360 Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Metal build Arbalest Ver. IV 22680 (tax included) preorder starts 10-23-17 (jst) http://tamashii.jp/item/12348/?wovn=en http://tamashii.jp/special/metalbuild/arbalest/ Quote
Vortech Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Dammit, why is Bandai releasing so much good stuff all at once. Wonder how quickly this will sell out, the Leviathan took a while. Quote

Wonder how quickly this will sell out, the Leviathan took a while. But this is the Arbalest, so I'm pretty sure it'll sell out pretty quick. Beside, metal build is more well known now compare to before when the MB Laevatein released. Quote
snakerbot Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 While I can't say it doesn't look good, I'm going to have to pass on this one. I'm trying to avoid spending too much on toys after my surgery, and Alter's Almecha version is pretty good already. Quote
Loop Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) I know, too many good toys are coming out and they are all expensive. I think I'll try to get at least one of these although I really want 2. Edited October 22, 2017 by Loop Quote
SuperHobo Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 So I take it, some of you fine folks will be up early this Monday morning? Good luck everyone. Quote

SuperHobo Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Oh yes, it will be mine. I have been waiting for a good sized, highly detailed, partially diecast Arbalest since 2006 when I first saw FMP. Quote
mog_kupo Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Got mine too, posted the HLJ link on the wrong topic tough Quote
Loop Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 I was able to get one at HLJ and one at Amiami, I'm done for the night. Quote
SuperHobo Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) Got mine at HLJ too. The amiami link sold out in under a minute like the DX chogokin valks. Thank goodness for HLJ. Edited October 23, 2017 by SuperHobo Quote

Loop Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) I actually had 2x at HS in cart, but did not make it all the way through checkout. Edited October 23, 2017 by Loop Quote
F360 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 I don't even try Hobby Search anymore. I can never get in on most of their preorders. Quote
Vortech Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Surprised the HLJ window is staying up so long. Quote
F360 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 up at cdjapan too but 21000 yen http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOGDS-254393? Quote
Vortech Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Man how did you find it on cdjapan, I can't get it to come up on the search results. Quote
Vortech Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 (edited) CDjapan was actually cheaper then hlj by like $2, probably due to the difference in their conversion system. Scored 1 via hlj, and one at cdjapan. March is looking like it's gonna be an expensive month. Mospeada Stick, VF-31A's, and now MB Arbalest. Edited October 23, 2017 by Vortech Quote

I sign up for their news letter, and they email me on every Bandai preorder night at around 16:00 jst with the items and links that's up for preorder. I just repost the link. They use to have super discount sales for just release items that they will email me too but I don't get those anymore. Quote
Atheonyirh Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Lasted longer than I expected but it's ordered out on HLJ. Quote
