Pass for me as i got the R3 ver alrdy

[anime52k8]

I somehow managed to lose all of the accessories for my R3. Also, since I have the Astraea X and I want that Dynames, so might as well get this to go with them. also I kinda want the Astraea Mega launcher.

So, pre-order it's on a couple hours?

Same here, David. I already completed Setsuna's Suits. No need for an extra one with a fancy backpack and sword.

AmiAmi is kind of late putting up their placeholder page.

You're welcome. The listings are less this time. Not sure why. Anyways, good luck if you're planning on getting one.  

 

[F360]

Almost time.  .  and reminder for those that have extra HLJ coupon from their recent warehouse shipment...  

[Shukenzero]

You too buddy! I can probably get a preorder locally but prefer having one locked down right out the gate.

HLJ is still open. Go go go!

 

[no3Ljm]

Do you guys think AmiAmi is boycotting Bandai? Not sure if they are because they still have some Gundam Universe action figure listed today. But no Metal Build. Hmmm.

[Shukenzero]

@F360 Awesome as always! Managed to nab one thanks man

[Scyla]

Git my order confirmation from HLJ. Thanks @F360 for the link.

I think its the whole Gunpla issue that Bandai announced. Looks like the JP market are not getting the Gunpla that they want as they are being bought by scalpers overseas.

JP people lining up just to get Gunplas.

As Bandai's priority are its JP customers, they have advised retailers to prioritize its local market. I read it on a FB page on Mecha Alliance I think (can't remember) so maybe AmiAmi is one of those stores - I can be wrong for MBs

Yeah. That's what I meant when I said boycotting due to the notice that was circulating around Japanese stores. But not sure if that's specific to Gunplas since there was some few Gundam Universe figures listed on AmiAmi. But then Hobby Search and HLJ was able to PO Metal Builds. So I thought maybe they are boycotting somehow.

Anyways, congrats to those who managed to PO tonight.  

 

[F360]

looks like everyone here was able to get 1 

its a quiet night ..  there's no active Amiami or Cdjapan links yets.   

But for AmiAmi they have been delaying their preorder time to 17:00 JST recently, so maybe around that time is when they open their preorder.   I do not see it listed on their Japanese site either.         As for Cdjapan they are extra quiet too. 

[F360]

I also noticed Bandai's April 5th preorder items that already have links up on AmiAmi are all listed with sales Period of Apr 06, 2022, 11:00  Japan Time ～  

so maybe this is their new preorder time?  .. or they might have different time each time in the future.   we will see if it starts at those times later tonight.

According to amiami twitter and japanese home page, the devise metal build will be a lottery sale.

 

(And i managed to missed ALL sites releases lol)

[Shukenzero]

It’s a shame they couldn’t just release the backpack. Would save everyone the hassle of buying it for the nth time.

I wonder why they are doing it this way? As far as I know, the new metal build figures all seem to have enough stock that prices have fallen across the board and has done so for the past year or two.
