    I'm not interested with the other stuff - but happy for those looking forward to anything else.

    I'm only interested on Perfect Strike :)

    Bandai just announced a 2nd production run for caletvwlch, with an April 2020 release date.

    No Infinite Justice on an event called Infinity? Or maybe Bandai meant that the Caletvwich can be accessorized to infinity?

    The OO project is said to be the GN arms and not Qan(T) ELS as initially rumoured. Mind blown if Bandai does develop a MB GN arms, it also means that a MB Meteor System is possible. Tomorrow, the event opens to the public and we shall know of Bandai's future plans.

    Well, Bandai meant the latter.. unlimited display options with upcoming option sets..

    Eh. Was originally considering ordering two Caletvwlch, but ended up settling on just one with all the other cool stuff shown that’ll be released later on.

    My Gods if Bandai makes the GN arms like an actual 1/100 to fit their MB Exia I will scream.......because I actually want one. Damn it. Do it Bandai! You cowards!

    Unit 2 looks awesome but I am still hoping to see a regular Metal Build Nu Gundam somewhere down the road, not to mention Gundam Wing Zero Custom. And does anyone remember the Metal Build Lancelot that was teased all those years ago?

    GN Arms would be a definite pass for me.
    I can only imagine how many kidneys I'll need to sell for one of those, plus I'm out of display space as-is anyways in my shelves.

    Yeah, but all we had was a line-art of MB Lancelot, nothing came of it. Well, at least there's a metal robot spirits version of Lancelot Albion, would gladly double dip for a MB version though.

    Bandai did make a Wing Zero Custom in the GFFMC line last year and I would say it's on par with the metal build line.

    You mean this item in the back, in the display? I could see it being the gn arms for sure.
    If I squint enough, I feel like I can make xn raiser too lol

    I just feel like the GN arms would be so huge and clunky to work with the MBs. I get that some of these display options are getting there (these new infinity ones, the red astray stuff, and even the avalanche/avalung) but this just seems like it would be an order of magnitude pushing it over the edge lol

    A Metal Build GN Arms (or a Meteor) is getting into the Hot Toys Batman Tumbler territory...

    The GN Arms is in the "no photography" zone, so journalists had to take some sneaky shots. Maybe there will be clearer pics when the event opens to the public (in a few hours).

    I'd think the meteor will be too big. I'd like to see Double X with G-falcon since they're doing GN Arms.

    Well hoooo~~leeee~~ shit

    Look at all the support arms holding things up. Haha I don't even know. I'm a little disappointed only because this is.... basically a "vehicle" and isn't as engaging to me.

    You sit Exia in the "cockpit" and vroom vroom.
    I'm sure there will be some options on the arm modes, etc... but still.

    damn GN-Arms. We can assume that it will be sold alone, and unless Bandai rerelease an Exia as part of Infinity, current price of MB Exia might spike. So might be a good time to get another copy.

    Looks like the addon set they released for the astraea type f in the regular astraea colors.
    I've been looking forward to that blue frame. Reminds me I gotta hurry up and buy the tactical arms set for the red frame one of these years.

    I've been wanting a Blue Frame Second L to finally round out the Astray trio.

    Yeah, that does look like the Avalung set, but in "regular" colors.
