Nice. But I've run out of space on my MB shelf and I already have 8 variants of Setsuna's Suits. So pass for now.

What I want is Amuro's Suits in MB -- RX-78 and Nu.

The more you want it, the longer you need to wait...thats why i gave up wanting MB GP01...🙊

p.s. truth is i really dont want to know the sticker price for a GP01 because that may really be too much to fork out for...

Biggest annoyance with Qan[T] was that its armour (especially around the forearms) didn't sit firmly and would just become loose, hoping that has been remediated this time around.

Speaking of which, I'm surprised not much has been done with the Hi-Nu – no HWS, maybe different backpacks, no repaints, no redesign variant etc.

[General Rasp]

Well, guess I will be selling my original Qan[T]. 

[doomgart]

But sometimes they released the weapon as an add-on set.

I wish to have such a set for my QAN[T].

so if im seeing it right , its the old QANT design with a few diff decals, an extra sword and a blue base? I wonder if the armor pieces are removable on this like they were on the previous QANT.

Given the way this is a JP exclusive lottery item, the scalpers are going to be well fed when this drops

[Tking22]

I want to get a Metal Build Gundam so bad, but it just seems they put out the same crap over and over. How many versions of Strike are necessary? How many Exia and 00 variants are needed? I get it, they sell, but my god are they boring, it just looks like the same mobile suit over and over, with a different hat...

[mog_kupo]

That new QanT looks the same blue as the 00 Raiser Designer's Blue from a couple years ago

Well, look at the bright side, you have a LOT of choices if you want and Exia or 00 variant as your first MB

does the torso still explode like the original Qan{T}?

[Scyla]

I understand that people are dissatisfied that this is a remold of another 00 suite instead of a completely new toy but I‘m just glad it is not another Strike, Exia/Astraea or Astray Red Frame.

This looks good, and I‘m glad we are getting the Full Saber variant.

Do we know what is meant by labeling this as an Event Exclusive? Is it for an upcoming Tamashii Nations exhibit?

Hopefully that is fixed too, personally I wouldn't complain if they ditched the entire "armour off" feature from the original Qan[T] and glued everything in place.

Longer wait is fine I guess. More time to save and nothing to spend on. I guess.

Too bad the 3rd party 1/100 MB style Ex-S didn't materialize. And yes, Nu and RX-78 soon.

I def have a spare MB Nu Gundam and a Spare Bazooka Launcher set if you are legit for realsies interested. No RX 78 because thats GFFMC and I only have Wing/Death Scythe in that category. Slide into the inbox when you are ready to talk numbers. Also looking to list a Bandai VF-1S Roy soon too if interested.

Wait. You're referring to Hi-Nu and not Nu, right? There's no MB Nu yet. 

I also have RX-78-2. GFFMC and the Chogokin Yokohama figure.

you said " MB Nu" . There is not Metal Build Nu so it was implied that it was Hi Nu unless you meant Metal Structure Nu

Yes, I meant Nu. Apologies if you misunderstood it. Some of us are expressing in this page what Metal Build we wanted after that 00Qant Full Saber reveal, and I just kid in my reply if you have any when you mentioned you have a lot of Metal Builds for sale since we all know there's none yet.

I wish they made regular Nu as well; and praying for a Sazabi lol.

Meh, Hi-Nu is better than Nu anyways. Now make me a Metal build Nightingale.

If Bandai really wanted to make money , an MS  Nightingale would be the power play of the year. Imagine how big it would be

Interesting that they chose to use purple as the accent colour instead of being the primary one, and I think it really works that way.

[Alex GS]

indeed a work of art how Bandai produces their Metal Build Line

 

[davidwhangchoi]

surprised they just don't show the exia mold. 

that's 70% the metal build line. 

[rsvictor1976]

I just finished selling off the last of my Metal Build collection to focus on Macross. Then my friend buys me a GFFMC Zaku II out of the blue for my birthday. I feel like a jerk if I ask to exchange or sell the figure so now I have to pair it with a RX-78-02 to appease my OCD. That Gouf looks pretty awesome too though.

Im not too sure what bandai is trying to achieve with this video. A lot of their stuff comes from their existing MG line Intellectual Property. They are coming through with some revolutionary new designs, they are just re hashing most of the same stuff in different colors or a few different panels. Aside from Kampfer or Justice we havent had anything really new recently.
