About to open Aile Strike... anything that I should look out for on it?

None that I know of. As people have mentioned, one of the good MB releases. Let us know what you think.

Only really had a chance to take it out and get it assembled yesterday but seems really solid...  the one part that confused me is getting the knives placed properly in the side skirts.. they don't really seem to clip in place in any way and I can't get the skirts to close back properly with them inside. Any advice would be appreciated.

So ZenMarket rejected my request to participate in the lottery for me.

I gave FromJapan a second try because I figured out that I used the wrong URL on my first try. I payed for the order so I guess in the next few days I know if they will do lottery items.

This is the URL I used: https://p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000129902/

If FromJapan falls through I hope that the prices go down once the lottery items are out in the market.

FromJapan also canceled my request. 

So I guess paying 60k JPY is my only option.

I have 2 of the original release but I put my hat in the lottery for the soul blue version. If I don't get it I guess it doesn't matter all that much.

How did you do that? Do you have a Japanese address?

Yeah, I have a buddy who has been living in Tokyo for a few years now.

[Sanity is Optional]

I'll see if I manage to snag one through DeJapan or not. It would be my second Metal Build, after the Aile Strike (does a GFFMC Wing Zero count?).

It counts as being a superior product.

I've posted the NY link above just in case you change your mind, Scyla. Sad to say it's Y60000 but atleast it's not elusive anymore. 

 

[Scyla]

I lnow that link very well, thank you. 

 I‘ll wait till the lottery ones come into the secondary market which hopefully brings the price down.

The Crossbone Gundam is availability at the moment at NY for the inflated price of 28K JPY.

Is the horn on eva-01 black?  I don't know how I feel about that.

Looks like black with a neon-green line on the front.

As expected. Wallet breather.

I do.  Pre-order cancelled!

This vid compares both MB Strike Freedom, it's in mandarin but the differences are clear. Soul Blue on left and original on the right.

The METAL BUILD "Avalanche Dash" OP set for Gundam Astraire TYPE-F is out.

I just got informed from my proxy that they received too. Time to ship it out asap before the real holiday rush.

Sweet I hope NY comes through with my order. I've included a MB F91 Harrison Custom to my order and I'm really looking forward how the blue on mustard yellow will look like (and outfit my Astraea with more shields of course). 

I'm a bit wary with NY and TWE items lately since the VF-31A disaster and the Gunbarrel Striker selling out in less than a day.

Thanks for this F360. I ordered mine at BIJ. Hope they push thru.

BIJ should be good, when I use them , they have always delivered.

The dash option set lasted a long time so you should be good, the Gun-barrel Striker had a limited 2 per account restriction which sucks.
