@lechuck I hoe the base still has a marking pointing out what Suit this is. I hate when someone deviates from an established and consistent patter. :bad:

Is there any good way to get p bandai in the US besides the actual store? I haven't been collecting for the past five years so I am not familiar with the current methods of procurement these days.

The Kaempfer was up for preorder at Anime Export but sold already out in approximately 2 minutes.

I read somewhere that Bandai is cracking down on proxy stores for TWE items so maybe this is a sign that Anime Export can’t acquire as much stock as in the past so that is why it sold out so quickly. <_<

For anyone that is still looking -> https://kuramatoys.com/metal-build-kampfer-action-figure/.
Pass for me, that's a $40 higher markup compared to AE.

Yep, I have read that too and surprised AE is already out of stock. Hopefully it's just a popularity thing for the Alex and not Bandai cracking down.

Kuramatoys/DenDen Hobby have poor shipping practices just in case anyone is thinking about ordering from them.  They prices are generally higher than most so thats normal for them.

Well there is always the possibility picking it up on the secondary market, or if it is really that popular opening preorders for a second batch.

I'm still surprised it sold out that quickly.

Pricing on this Kampfer inspired me to go find the "other" Kampfer.

And it’s bigger too.

I'd much prefer if they kept doing TR-6 variants instead of TR-1s. I want a Haze'n-thley II damn it. heck I'd buy a metal robot Inle if they were so crazy as to do that.

RX-124 Gundam TR-6 [Inle]. That would be something. :wub: 

But first, Plain or with Booster?

And to be clear, we're talking Metal Robot Damashii '1/144' scaling, right? This is going to be bigger than Metal Build GN-Arms, that's for sure. :spiteful:

Would be nice right if it's bundled with Metal Robot Damashii TR-6 Kehaar II x6. ;)

As much as I want it, I don't think I'll be able to get one. :rolleyes:

 

But for now, I don't mind Bandai to add RGM-79SR on their Metal Robot Damashii A.o.Z. lineup. Not a big GM fan, but for A.o.Z., I'll make an exemption. :good:

Well, I hope Anime Export will open their preorders for the second batch (and hopefully they will stay open for longer than just mere minutes).

Was just on the p Bandai U.S. site and they still have stock for preorder. I guess that price tag is a real turn off for people. Personally I’m not a fan of the panels on these, the overall proportions look alright though, just kinda junky looking with the weird panels

Well, Bandai is true to form as the ultimate tease... it's a toxic relationship. That I can't get out of.

Is this not it? The MB version of perfect strike pack with all 3 strikers?

Yeah. The Maximum Perfect Strike (AP Ver.). I don't really like Ootori Pack that much. Looks too busy for me as is. And seeing with all the Striker Packs attached to it makes it busier.

I just prefer the minimum version of the Perfect Strike backpack. :wub:

And if Bandai will not do it, I hope some third party company will add that option on the existing KO Aile Pack design. :rolleyes: 

If only I can do custom work, I already gotten a MG Perfect Strike kit and convert it for MB use. But I'm not. :unsure:

Really like to get the KÄMPFER but missed the PO. Now US PB is avaiable at about $400 USD. Ouch.

Any other choice?
