I would love to see a resale of the FAZZ and Mk V Gundam. Though I would be tempted to buy three of the FAZZ.

Im hoping that fazz, remake zeta and maybe EX-S would made it to the GFFMC or MB line

They have the basic design laid out in robot line, just need to scale up, add more details and produce the molds for it

Let the pre-order wars begin!

[no3Ljm]

Countdown.

[68whiskey]

So is this a countdown til pre order or count down til further information? I dont think Ill get this giant brick because you really cant pose it but im curious to see what the cost on this will be.

I think there were previous instances where information was announced and the pre-order was also opened the same day.  Though can't remember if online shops (.e.g. hlj, amiami, etc) also opened their POs at the same time or the following day

I stand corrected, its capable of two poses. $320 is just them charging us the nostalgia tax with this one.

Guys , I have a buddy getting out of the hobby in a Davidwangchoi fashion. Check out the thread as hes got a little bit of everything.

How much is shipping from Japan though? 

[sjr]

P-bandai price for me is ~$466 total.

At current exchange rates and assuming I were to purchase for retail price, my proxy says ~$375 inc. shipping.

I'm not crazy about the Providence, so I'll probably hold out until next year and make a decision then.

Someone at Bandai is dropping the ball. First it was a struggle for most people to Get the new Freedom Concept Spark Sprinkle or whatever , then they hyped the MS Nu Re issue with no actual pre order info and then they jack the price on Providence.... Now they posted those addition photos , its cool .... not $350 + kind of cool tho

Already? I thought pre-orders don't start until 13/09.

Anyway I pre-ordered, not making the same mistake like I did with the Dynames, having to spend even more on the secondary market.

I missed it too. Didn’t stay up to check cuz I thought preorders were not supposed to start until later this week. Im crossing my fingers and hoping A-E gets more stock later but not counting on it.

As expected from Bandai since they're going to re-release Robot Spirits Nightingale with a new paint 'Char's Special Color' scheme. Obviously, they just announced a re-release Metal Robot Damashii Hi-Nu Gundam. Now with 'Amuro's Special Color' scheme to go with the repaint Nightingale.

It would be nice too if they remake a Metal Build Hi-Nu closer to that 'design' as well.  

[anime52k8]

eh, I'm a weirdo but I like my purple polka-dot Hi-Nu.

Next Metal Robot Damashii. TR-1 HAZEL with Option Parts Set & HRUDUDU with Advanced Parts Set in Titans Combat Deployment Colors. Tamashii Web Exclusive releases.

Bring it on!

@davidwhangchoi saw that the reservations for the MS Nu Gundam are open at E Knight Media over at TFW: https://www.eknightmedia.com/ms-gundam-char-s-counterattack-rx-93-v-gundam-kaitai-shou-ki-metal-structure-action-figure-by-bandai-tamashii-nations.html

The way I understand it is not a preorder but a potential reservation if they get enough stock and they require a non-refundable $100 downpayment: https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/bandai-metal-build-discussion.1115253/page-408#post-21685250

Not official Metal Build, but it is possible to achieve that now with some third party offering a replacement metal frame for the MG Hi-Nu Ver.Ka.

TLX 1/100 TLX-04 Metal Frame Upgrade Kit for MG RX-93-2 Hi-Nu Gundam Ver.Ka
Point Factory Studio 1/100 Alloy Frame Upgrade Kit for MG RX-93-ν2 Hi-ν Gundam Ka Versio

Had some free time to spend on the Dynames. Definitely a great entry for MB line, love that sniper rifle.
