    I really want to catch up on this line, but ML Soundwave got my attention when I had the money and now I'm back to waiting again.

    But I'm quite certain, especially with the modest release schedule they have, I'm going to end up buying all of these things. They're just too cool.

    I REALLY REALLY wish I knew as well. Fort Bragg needs to be a separate character rather than just being an extra set of accessories...

    But none of my local hobby stores are bringing them in, as far as I've asked...and they didn't say why either.

    The page says those "naked" figures are Konami Style (their official online shop) exclusive.
    DilaZirK, your sig is too cute :lol

    Ooooh, that explains everything.

    Except, it doesn't because Konami's store doesn't carry them either.

    I think those are only available from that one online shop (according to the page in the link). 1890yen for a bare custom fodder sounds like a lot, no?

    Actually, that sounds about right. The price of the extra set coupled with the "naked" body equals the price of a full set anyway.

    I don't really understand why they even bother making separate accessory sets, they should all be full sets...

    So the only way to get those bodies is through that shop?

    That kinda sucks, I already got the Waffebunny set but didn't read it right and didn't realize it was just gear...

    Anyone able to buy from that site and ship them out? I know I'd be willing to pay a bit extra to get a few spare bodies, some of the parts sets look cooler then the complete sets imo. ._.

    Like Fort Bragg.

    Maybe I'll bug the hobby stores about this again, just make specific orders for those who request for it.

    Actually, I'd wanna pick up Bragg too. It's just something about the military ones, who seem to be mostly parts sets, that I like. I'm honestly suprised no one sells the bare ones on ebay or something. You'd think they'd sell well as they're needed to make the part kits whole without spending another 30-40 for an entirely different set.

    Ah. See, I thought we could get them from the US Konami store. They claim to be the exclusive seller of all Busou Shinki products in the US, except you can buy the sets and parts from any importer. Kinda sucks it's hard to come up with the body's alone in the states.

    If you really want to, there's a parcel forwarding service you can use. You'll need a credit card to shop at that Konami online shop and paypal to pay for the forwarding service. You (or anyone) want to try that, I'll see if I can make a walkthrough.

    You also have to pay attention when buying, make sure that your mnot just getting an expansion set. Not that I mind the Waffebunny set, gives me more weapons to use with Haulin (When she gets in).

    I have both and am willing to use them!

    I'd prolly end up getting two or three blanks for future sets because I know I'd pick up Bragg when she comes out as well as a few other full sets.

    You wouldn't happen to have a link to that forwarding service would you? Just for future reference and a last resort.
