Bandai METAL Line (MBuild/MStructure/GFFMComposite/MRDamashii/Gundam Chogokin)

I’m just glad their metal build Eva is a regular release instead of p-Bandai .

Everyone jump on the Japanese release first.

Now a couple of stores in the USA is already sold out , but there’s still a bunch of stores that haven’t open their preorders yet .

 

so check this weekend and next week for usa preorders opening.

 

should all else fails , there will have more open slots near release.

 

if its p-Bandai , it will either be sold out , or available but your proxy already max out their allotment.

These toys probably aren't cheap to produce, and some of them don't sell that well I think (the arbalest and leavatein from FMP come to mind, they're available everywhere), which probably leads to small production quantities to start. 

What boggles my mind is why Bandai doesn't want to produce more of uber popular merchandise like the Strike Freedom or Eva. 

Keeping their demand and desirability up. No one values stuff that are everywhere and easily obtainable.

But yea the whole production limits stated in a few posts up possible plays a part as well.

I thought this already came out?

[chyll2]

I think there were pictures of third party Crossbone. You might have mixed it with that one.

[seti88]

Haha that birdy! Cute...

Seems like there is an X2 TOO....

With this announcement. Money saved. For me.

I am looking forward to the revel next week. Hoping to at least see the X1 as production prototype with the various accessories. The accessories are what I am most curious about. What is it coming with and what is potentially p-bandai. I am guessing the X2 will be p-Bandai will the X1 will be regular release. I am very happy Bandai is going with a cloth cape/cloak for the crossbone gundams. It will give a premium feel and look much better verses a plastic cloak. 

I will be spending alot on metal build with the crossbone gundams.

I've been avoiding the metal build pre-order madness as much as possible but it looks like I'll be up all night trying to get a X1  I wonder if BlueFin will get some to sell too?

[mog_kupo]

So, it would look like this?

Aww dammit another PO Madness that  I won't be able to probably get one, I hope AmiAmi had fixed their site by then  so the horrible experience that was with the MB Eva. can be prevented.   

 

It looks so damn good!

Looking pretty spicy right there. I'll probably go all in, including the eventual full cloth web exclusive parts. 

[brouken]

I hope this is a sign of more UC era Metal Builds to come. I would like a Metal Build Double Zeta based on the MG Ver. Ka, but I could settle for a Mk II if they are only doing non-tranformables.

I'm glad they incorporated the removable cockpit block; still unsure about that parrot though 

[dizman]

Looks pretty good, the only thing I don't like is how blocky the front skirt is but I guess it has to be that way for the anchor. Interesting it has the beam brand but doesn't include the beam shield, kinda was hoping they would include 2 for story reasons but oh well.

[eggy99]

Looks great. Probably won't PO this one. Might get it if I can get it for a good price through work and I have the money.

[kajnrig]

Um... not sure where this best fits, so I'm just gonna spam a couple threads with it. Don't hate me too much.

Oh I'm sure we will get there sooner than later since they already teased X2 and X3 only needs a few little mold changes. I'm more wondering if they will release the full cloth parts soon or if we will have to wait for X1 Skull Heart to be released first.

[seti88]

An MB X-3 would look absolutely fetching! Tho my wish is still for any MB GP-01/2/3....

[subie81]

Yesssssss!!! That’s what I’m talking about!!! More UC suits! This one is soooooo freaking pre-ordered!!!!
