Saviant Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 I only got the aile strike and gun barrel striker a few weeks ago, as it is my first Metal Build I couldn't see any difference. But I will be trying to get the addons when they come out though. Quote

eXis10z Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Just a different tampo. This release is only good for future add ons. Quote
mamboeidos Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 got 2 in the end at 165usd each after shipping. First order there was a payment error therefore i try to order another another one since the first order has payment order. after making the 2nd order saw email stating that my first order has been processed too Quote

Like the previous Gunbarrel option set, this is also an 'insta-pass' for me. Now Bandai, where's the actual proper Sword and Launcher set? Just the sword and launcher set feels kinda plan as a option pack . Now if they can add in the Skygrassper to that set , it would be more complete. But then the twe price would be 11000 yen similar to the gun barrel set. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 16, 2019 Author Posted April 16, 2019 (edited) I'm reposting the links again from @F360 and adding Nippon-Yasan's: https://www.biginjap.com/en/completed-models/22077-metal-build-strike-gundam.html https://www.nin-nin-game.com/en/preorders/31666-gundam-seed-gat-x105-strike-gundam-limited-edition-metal-build-.html https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/27960-metal-build-strike-gundam-limited-edition.html I'm now reconsidering for a seoncd one since NY's price is a little bit cheaper than the first two. Scratch that. Nin-Nin's cheaper. Hehehe. Edited April 16, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote

CharlesXavier Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Got mine from local pre order. Lucky to be in Asia where Bandai opens PO outside of Japan. And it was pretty smooth compared to previous POs. Perhaps not many want this. Quote

no3Ljm Posted April 16, 2019 Author Posted April 16, 2019 I decided that I will allot my budget to upcoming stuff like Sentinel's Mospeada than get another Strike figure. I'll just await for any anime canon packs for it. Quote
F360 Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Wow the strike price at n-y jumped to 28000 yen. Quote

That Strike Gundam is an event exclusive release. Unless you live in Japan then you can pick it up from the event itself since that's the requirement to obtain the figure. If not, then people should've ordered one last night when the PO went live since it was just Y21000. Scum or not, they're one of the few stores that's doing this preorder. So that's already a given to any event or web exclusive items that they might have. Edited April 17, 2019 by no3Ljm Quote

The problem is they are no better than the ebay scalpers at this point, this is why I avoid NY even if they are the last place. Quote

If it makes you feel better, an unopened MB Aile Strike at Mandarake is already at Y32000.
