    MB Sirbine is a beauty, however, unless Bandai is willing to commit to a MB Aura Phantasm line, i don't see myself committing to these one-off products.

    Excited about the Hi-Nu, X-0, and Sazabi, but still radio silence on the Metal Composite GMs and tri-star Zaku 1.

    How are you even able to have it shipped outside the US? I thought these were only shipped within the region?

    Killing me over here P-bandai. Like... yes you have released some things here hassle free- much appreciated! but on these painful type products, constant let down. This is the Destiny Gundam Red all over again (but worse)

    I don't get the business model here, other than "Loads more people in Asia are going to be interested in these high collector items than USA, so we're not even going to reserve some for them"
    It's the only thing I can think of

    I used my cousins address who is based in the States :D  - I might just give my order to him as shipping would be shipping to my country.

    Managed to order from my contact in Japan as well

    The only news I caught was that Bandai is still planning to release it.

    Thanks.
    I’m wondering if there is a chance that Bandai announces the sale of it on Sunday and opens the preorder on Monday.;)

    I'm hoping that Bandai changes the shield of the Hi-NU - noticed that they didn't include it on the promo pics, so maybe there is still hope without the polkadots

    I wonder if that means we’re getting the Hws as a P-Bandai add on

    Excellent. I'll keep throwing money into the Sazabi savings pile.

    Yeah, I agree with you. I have stopped buying 1-off purchases. Why can’t Bandai just commit to a series of figures.

    If they had released the regular version, I would probably pick it up.

    Committing to a series of figures for Dunbine in the Metal Build would pretty much be a generational effort at this point if the RD line is anything to go on. They're STILL releasing new Dunbine stuff. Like, if all you want is the hero units that's far more doable, I think? I don't think the MB line has ever done a villain unit, though, although I guess the MB Providence will change that.
