The Tiny functioning box cutters are really what sells me on it though. I’m glad her trademark progressive knife is included. It’s tiny but it really makes the difference. Quote

They didn't even go up for sale yet on pbandai. Maybe NY is out of stock until they get their orders in? I don't know... the weapons are limited at 13 per person and backpieces 2 per. I just checked NY and both items are listed as 'Not available'. Didn't mean they're out of stock, but I get what you're referring to because NY uses 'not available' when items are out of stock.

Since it's still not available to PO at P-Bandai, would it be best to use proxy site so they can order it directly once it opens up? Quote
mog_kupo Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 My mistake, I tought the preorder began last night based on a NY tweet But it seems it begins today Quote
eggy99 Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 I'm so glad (and so is my wallet) these Option Sets are not to be taste, and I'm also not a fan of Bandai's Metal Build rendition of the Strike Gundam. bleh.... I want to see a MB Justice/Infinite Justice or Impulse, but AUD is still weak right now, so wouldn't be able to afford it alongside the steady release of DX VF-1 valks Bandai is pumping out. Quote

Same here. I like Kira's unit but not their MB incarnation. But I still have it though. Hahaha! Though I would like to have the canon Strike packs instead or Aegis or Infinite/Justice. Quote

Oh yes a MB Aegis would be amazing. The BIG downside.... YOU MUST BUY 2 so you can display is both modes! Secret wish is Mo Show/Poison Toys/whoever they are now release 1/72 Aegis to go along their godly Strike release.. err I mean Mecha Warrior. haha!

Just some design and material choices that aren't to my taste. • Too much diecast metal parts in places where it isn't needed (shins armor for example) • Use of 2 different warmth greys on the main body. Cool blue grey mixed with warm grey which is overly contrasting and jarring on theses areas. I did have this MB in hand and I looked it over, but then sold it soon after. I think if I didn't own the MoShow Strike to compare to in person I would be less picky over such an expensive figure that didn't satisfy all my expectations and preferences. Quote

You mentioned 'oos' earlier so I assumed that you're only option is to go to those stores rather than go directly to P-Bandai. If you're in Japan, then it's practical to get it straight from P-Bandai. Quote

PsYcHoDyNaMiX Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 I really wonder if this is some kind of indication for another MB Astray sometime down the line... Quote
davidwhangchoi Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 why am i buying a red frame backpack? does the original red frame flight work with the strike? Quote

I have to agree with the two tones grey. I had the mo show strike and sold it shortly after cause I didn't like the design cues it took from PG strike which I didn't like as well. Quote

So you don't need to take it off from your Red Astray, David. But to be honest, I'm not sure if it's the same or it has a different configuration or attachment for Strike Gundam. I'm sure anyone who has the Flight Pack from before can try if it's going to fit it on the Strike. If it is, then you just need to get the Caletvwlch Option Set. But the question is if the attachment that comes with the Caletvwlch can be attached to the old Flight Pack? Quote

I was wondering if the v-fin was deliberately over exaggerated or accidentally. The turn red astray has a bit of a different design (more detail?) to the oversized v-fin while the red dragon is just oversized with no extra detail (yet the drawing is missing the particles/beam effect). The v-fin depicted in the drawing seems a bit more upright and resembles more of the red dragon/turn red v-fin than a regular astray v-fin which isn't so upright.
