BBTS has the Metal Build Guren SEITEN for $340 with $51 NRD. I am still hoping P-Bandai will open up pre-orders.

P-Bandai is not going to open up POs. This is being brought over as a regular release here in the US even though its still limited production. Similar to how most of the web exclusive Monsterarts come to the US as regular releases.

Other shops that have it up for PO:

Thanks for the clarification! That is a hell of a marked up for the US from 27,000 yen to $340.

Yup someone is being greedy with the exchange rate, I was expecting it to be in the $270-280 range.

Up at USAG, EE, and Sure Thing Toys as well, about the same price. FYI EE charges upon shipment, the others pay up front.

Yeah, particularly given the current exchange rate....27k yen is about 200 USD at the moment.

Yea, I was pretty excited to see it show up on the preorder page and then had to go play the crying game soundtrack at full blast to drown my sorrows/condition myself not to buy it at that price.

We're still hoping for a US p-bandai release, correct?

Yeah if I remember correctly for now it's a Fukuoka exclusive, but eventually they might release it through P Bandai just like the Yokohama one... Regardless I'm not buying it at that kind of price. The MSRP is basically 200 usd.

Wow. 

Now it seems like it's cheaper to get it from LunaPark for Y39800.

 

[Scyla]

Does anyone know the day when the X-0 Full Cloth will be released in June? 

I have a preorder with Luna Park and I think I need to poke them a bit once the toy gets released in order to have it shipped.

If its anything liek the last two, it will by hyped at first and then settle down between $240 - $275. I bought the first RX78 to drop for $350 because hype. 8-9 months later when there were more on the market it was sitting sub $300. WIth the current Gundam market Im sure we will see more of these in circulation at a later time.

yeah but you get it sent to  you in a plastic envelope because of their new shipping practices.

Its scheduled for release 06/30 so realistically they will start hitting vendors the following week or two. 

[sjr]

I believe the 6/30 date may have been a placeholder. I'm seeing X-0 listings starting to pop up on PayPay and Rakuma. I'd bet buyers are getting shipping notifications.

You guys noticed that they increased Y3000 for this Strike compared to their previous release? Bandai actually is the scalper this time around.

So would that mean these are like EVENT Exclusives? .. you will need to go to the store to pick these up?  (proxy will charge arm and leg)  

And when they do open for TWE later, it will be by lottery...

Hey @F360. So this is the link how the pre-sale works. It has an 'english' selector on top right so you can see the instructions.

Hope that helps.

Given the rising cost of everything these days I'm not surprised. Their cost probably went up

With that being said I probably only want the Heliopolis version of Strike. A clean one without all the logos will be nice.

Still hoping they release a rouge with Aile Striker Pack as per OG anime and a deactivated Strike with the trailer.

If anyone wants another MB Strike for these striker packs, I would recommend finding the Metal Kingdom KO, which normally can be found for around $120 these days

Those Metal Kingdom Strikes are now about $150-170 these days. They even have a KO strike rouge now and a KO Metal Kingdom strike with a sword and blaster
