    God-fucking-dammit, I really don't need to spend $1k on the Metal Structure, but it looks amazing.

    Good thing i'll never find one available though, otherwise I don't know what i'd do.

    Whelp, I put in my pre-order on ShowZ for Kampfer and Sazabi. I think I trust poison toys on delivering a quality product, but the Sazabi maker is questionable even though the quality looked good in the video.

    It's a matter of preference; steel legend is heftier and has a more stylised look, whereas the metal club's has more playability, as it ships with funnel effect parts and a stand. The metal club's has more details but those intricate details could stand out like a sore thumb when placed alongside MBs.

    Personally, I prefer the Metal Club's but steel legends' appears to be the favourite on this forum.

    *It appears that the metal club's default version is sold out, the red comet version is still available though.

    Just snagged MB 02 for 246 shipped from Amazon JP.

    This release must be not that popular if I can still snag it for such a good price this late in the game.

    My friend told me that TCP (The Chosen Prime) has MB02 for 299. Darn if that's not expensive.

    Considering the popularity of the Nu Gundam, I can see an MB happening one of these days. However, it wouldn't surprise me if 3P companies make one first.

    With any luck the 3rd party metal build Sazabi will be a hit and they'll make a Nu gundam to go with it.

    I'm not familiar enough with the MRD Destiny to say definitively, but they're looking pretty large there in the product shots, possibly moreso than the ones folded up on the back. So possibly they're oversized "perspective" models, similar to what came with the Robot Damashii Sword Striker Pack.
