I don't see any words on it yet,  maybe this reissues is only for Japan.

hmm i guess i'll have to skip this release. 

i got one pre-order night but gave it to anubis, and decided only to get one if i can get an extra. saves me money avoiding another anime series line. i had 3 on the first round an cancelled them all. i hope this is not a another wing zero where i'll regret it later

Think of happy thoughts, David. No regrets. Money saved.

Missed the preorder but scored one new from a retailer for $238 shipped this week so I can't be too mad. This can stay in box as far as I'm concerned.

Money saved is always good .  But we’re still months away from release .

The MB Eva is far, far too gorgeous to stay in its box. Even if the box itself is also really pretty.

To the extent anyone is in or around Dallas, Bluefin has a booth at the fanexpo event, and they have a big pile of the metal build Evas for $300. 

[Valkyrie Griffon]

I know right, I'm so tempted to open mine, heck I even put a plastic wrap around it to protect the box hehe.

[Atheonyirh]

Open it. Let the poor thing breathe before it goes berserk and tears the box open.

You should atleast inspect it. Just saying. You'll never know.

You know I always did that with each package I received , no matter what figure was but I always opened to inspect, I think I started to not open the boxes when I received my DX Chogokin VF 31C a while ago not sure thou , I'm pretty sure I will open those but not sure when hehe.

[F360]

Yup , I too normally do a open box inspection Incase it’s missing anything or bad quality control.   Do not want to find out later when it’s too late to fix or no more stock left for replacement even if I have to buy it at a slight higher price .

those looking for MB Strike Freedom and won't mind some of the conditions posted, currently available at Yahoo Auctions for 25800 yen (buy it now): https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n344025579

Accessories seems to be complete aside from an open hand and a joint (not sure what joint refers to but might one of the stand adapters/connector). However main issue mentioned is the left leg which is loose and it was mentioned that leg is hard to pose. Box also available though in 'tattered' state as per description.

Hey, no pre-order madness this time around?

So, what was the consensus on the Crossbone, is the X-2 definitely worth buying?

Hopefully pre-ordering won't be crazy. I imagine the price (26,400 yen) and it being a P-Bandai will slow some people down. P-Bandai Metal Builds do sell out but it can take a couple hours to a day before all the pre-orders are gone.

I have the X-1 and definitely think the X-2 is worth it. It looks just as good and comes with all the X-1 accessories plus you get two extra weapons. The lance and fold out canon are unique to the X-2. There is little doubt that we will get a X-3, X-1 Kai, and Full Cloth in the next two years. I am surprised Bandai took so long to get the X-2 up for pre-order. They have got plenty of variants to make from the main story. 

Which personally helps me justify buying multiple copies of the same metal build. All of the variants Bandai could make are cannon. When they start making variants that only in a side story manga for two pages that was never translated and cost $300 plus, it gets a little hard to justify. 

I know there are more Crossbone gundams that appear in Ghost and Dust but I figure those five would be a good start.

I was waffling over getting or not getting that for a while, the design and colors look good.

This one looks nice. I'm not familiar with this but it reminds me of Astray. Is this a Metal Build figure?

Nice review, Kuma. Though it's not a Metal Build release so I think it's best to make a new thread for it if there's no existing thread. Or you can post it in this The Everything Else Third Party thread:

I don't think you can. It's the only time you see again a post from your blocked person -- when their post/comments gets quoted.

Or better yet, you can post a new topic asking about it thru this section: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/forum/21-member-feedback/

Or if you don't want to create a new topic, you can probably ask in this thread: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/46347-updated-forums-to-latest/

Hope that helps.

It's a 3rd Part Metal Build so this seems most appropriate with it not specifying only Bandai products for the thread, and thank you.

No offense meant, but I did provided you above the 3rd Party link since there's an existing thread for anything that is 3P Metal Build like figure outside Bandai and Gundams. The original purpose of this thread is solely for Metal Build line itself. And I think it doesn't need to have Bandai on the title at first because the community is aware that it's a Bandai line. Anyways, I already edited the original title so it will just reflect that it is intended for Bandai Metal Builds only.

Thank you.

 

[Kuma Style]

@no3Ljm Thank you for giving your thread the appropriate title. Going forward being specific would probably help because if you don't specify brands it on paper is a general. 

Thank you in advance.
