It's just the the white version of the red Avalanche Dash pack but they added 4 extra shields with a core to attach the mega launcher . But they also remove the extra GN sword too. . But the worse part was the increase in price, Red Avalanche Dash pack MSRP 12100 yen White Avalanche high maneuver test pack msrp 16500 yen. it's like they are charging 1000 yen for each Shield Below are pics of what each pack includes: Quote

I figured Bandai was going to overcharge for any add-ons like this. Quote

Kuma Style Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 The full breakdown article and gallery for the Metal Build Strike Freedom Soul Blue Version is up on Kuma Style; https://kumastyledesigns.com/toy-review-bandai-tamashii-metal-build-strike-freedom-soul-blue-event-excl-ver/ The article per usual breaks this one down piece-by-piece but overall I gave it a 10/10. You either like the design or not but as a product it really does not have flaws. Here are some pics from the gallery portion: Quote
sqidd Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) @Kuma Style I'm not a Gundam guy. Mostly because I have no idea what is going on. I do like a few of the designs though. Your pics of this dude above have got me itching to pick one up. I just checked out the review. Doesn't look like I'm getting one of those without spending the big bucks huh?

Kuma Style Posted October 20, 2019 Posted October 20, 2019 Honestly I'd just wait for another convention since he's being used for those now. Quote

However you may check out the 3rd parties of the same figure for much less. Quote

F360 Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I went ahead and proxy preordered the Metal Build - High Maneuver Test Pack for Gundam Astraea. it's limited to only 2 per customer so some proxies already filled their allotment. Quote

Since @eXis10z seemed to think I was literally telling you what to buy or that you weren't person or adult enough to make your own decisions even if I was I will write an addendum: Although I don't personally promote buying KOs of a number of items like these due to personal experiences with quality control, even if you do buy them I still love you and hope that you have a better experience than I have.

No I don't but it's ok; I love you too. ---------- Anyways this is random but just wanted to throw out that even post honeymoon the Strike Freedom still catches my eye and is just as impressive a week later. Maybe it's because I don't own a lot of sharp Gold pieces but it just pops. Quote
