I haven't seen a thing. I'll wait it out if there is going to be one.......even though my wife said she would get the one available now for my birthday. How about the KO version that. cost 1.5K which include the fin funnels? Quote

Shukenzero Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 Got one of my Metal Build Justice Gundam units in. Beautiful but the knee parts are loose. Friend has been telling me some ppl are complaining of QC problems, but he hasn’t specified what he’s read yet. I will need to check my second copy coming in later this week. Quote

The same thing is happening worldwide to a very large majority of products. Who would have thought something like that would happen when you shut the economy down for a year plus. Quote

I also prefer the asymmetric look, but I also like the way they are mounted behind vertically on the stand so I want both 😃 Quote

I dont know where the reprint/re release rumors came from. From this post specifically. If you read the kanji on the left, it says (paraphrased) "Origin point, Again (or Return)" and on the right where the Sazabi is it says "Katai, continued". A lot of the Japanese comments below are about a reissue. Actually more are commenting about the Nu Gundam than the Sazabi, lol. Again, there's room for interpretation and it's Bandai so who the F knows. Edited February 1, 2022 by leeboo1211 Quote

So I am hoping for a possible reissue. I am also putting aside money for the possible PO of the sazabi. Looking forward to see your display with the Nu. Quote

I do hope Bandai reissue the Nu, the KO version might be somewhat possible but at least the fin fennel seems to be fixed and not separable. Quote

Agreed. I think the KO is more static than the actual Metal Structure one. But then even though the Metal Structure have articulation, I don't think it will do as much like a regular Metal Build figure. Besides, I also don't have space anymore for big figure. I rather wait if ever they will do Metal Build release for Nu. Quote

If I do have my wife get me one now....................................it's guaranteed that there will be a re-print. You guys can thank me then. Quote

IDK the pink and gold just don't look as good as a deeper red would. I think it is a problem of contrast. The gold markings just don’t pop as much as white ones would. I will reserve final judgement until I have it in hand. Quote

You may reconsider 😎 once you start messing with it, not only does it look cool... The catwalks and (clear) railing compliment the cockpit so well... (a little gif action) Plus, although the thing is so heavy the telescoping deck stand can still support it so you can do flying poses... (and then after a little photoshopping)... (and some more gif action)... It all just kinda screams come to papa... Quote

(and some more gif action)... It all just kinda screams come to papa... I agree it looks cool. It doesn't match my display style though. And I don't want to suck that much vertical display up in one of my cases. But, if it's the same height or shorter than my PG Perfect Strike I'll put it next to that. It's quite tall with all of the weapons. Quote
Grey728 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 If you mount the funnels on the back of the Nu Gundam the vertical height would be about 24 inches. Quote
Bobby Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 It's quite a bit larger ... here's a size comparison next to PG Perfect Strike on pedestal (after Temjin conversion)... Quote

tjdetweiler Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 They look really good together. Also the Fatum is huge!!!!! joints are very tight and paint apps are really good, different shades of red (or maroon, dark red etc) Highly recommended! Quote
tjdetweiler Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 The Metal Structure is an amazing piece! Whenever I get visitors and dont know anything about Gundam - everyone noticed it cause of the detail, the maintenance crew, setup etc and obviously its size. Quote
Bobby Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Looks like you got all the ad-ons! 😎 Haha showing a visitor new to Gundam a Metal Structure is like setting the bar waaay high for their future frame of reference 😄 Speaking of which my introduction (and 1st Gundam) was to this "metal" build...

Actually already have a Justice (still in HLJ warehouse), but want another copy so got one from Amazon JP which is cheaper (shipped to Canada) and canceled the .com PO Quote
Falcon Posted February 6, 2022 Posted February 6, 2022 Anyone know when the Metal Build Hi-Nu preorder date is? Interested but the price... wow! Quote
