    Odds are there's probably a way to join two Strike Leggers back to back we haven't seen yet...

    I’ll happily continue buying one of everything.


    But a black Battle Buffalo with 6 Black Gamma suits. One commander and 5 elite members of a team???? Christ. Why isn’t there a comic
    Book or a story with named members??? A 6 squad team of black gamma suit team members is screaming story. It’s like Alien 2 or Last Stand is the Wreckers. There should be characterization!!!!!!

    Aaaand it's just hit me, that's what these plugs are for!
    Screenshot_20180706-144115__01.jpg
    They aren't used in any of the modes we've seen so far so I've been trying to think of what they might be for and joking about linking more strike Leggers together so Holy Culture has to buy more gammas got me thinking about it how it could be done. You fold those down on the lead unit and then simply plug the next set of legs on to them. Hey presto an infinite number of Leggers can be linked together, each carrying six (or even twelve) Maneuver Suits! :eek: 

    Side note, this does also mean you could probably build a battle buffalo on stilts if you were so inclined lol.
    Or if you had three at least and left the raid chambers off you could build a big wheel out of them like those things in victory gundam some of the baddie suits ride around in.

    you need a forwarding service...

    also keep in mind, these are limited 2 pieces a person/address. a forwarding service counts as a person so if someone else beats you to it with that same service, you're out of luck.

    I bought one more Gamma too. That's crept up to five. Perilously close to six.........

    Battle Bufallo better go up for order soon or I'll be bored-ordering more.

    I think the Maneuver Delta might go up next week but Battle Buffalo likely won't go up until after the full reveal at Wonderfest on the 29th, so early August in that case.

    If 28 and 29 don’t get POs up at the same time, then 28 one month and 29/30 the following month. 30 bring a troop pack. That’s my guess anyways.

    Wouldn't happen at the same time of course but a separate release of the Strike Header would be neat.

    Just wondering, has there been any word on whether the alpha and beta suits are delayed? I have 2 each on PO with NY, and they are still saying July 31st.

    They should be out on the 28th in Japan as it's usually the last Saturday of the month for Takara releases.

    I would think so, but NY usually has a release date by now. My purchase of Bandai stuff had their July release dates available by late June.

    Listen to fort max. It’s probably just a listing not getting further updated. We’d have heard by now if it were delayed.

    I just act really confused, I have no idea what’s happening and then move money into the joint account. “No, no that’s the same one as before honey, I told you they’re Diaclone they transform and.... ah multiple, cool uh?” “Anyways I put some money in the account go buy some records or clothes.” Smooth......
