Web Shop Exclusive again too... actually do perfer that to it being a regular release. I'll be picking this one up since I missed the regular Wing Zero. Would have preferred blue/ light purple accents to grey, but still looks really nice! GPA do you happen to know the days that they put out preorders? Never pre-ordered one on first day. Just want to be ready.

The info from the magazine scans says late November, which is pretty vague, but usually Bandai starts late month Tamashii Web reservations between the 15th and the 23rd of the month. They're usually just before their standard release pre-orders for the month begin. The best way to be prepared for those releases is to keep an eye on Tamashii's web site or their mailing list emails.

Tamashii's website is tamashii.jp/Unfortunately, you can't buy directly from them unless you have a Japanese address, so I'm not entirely sure if they ask for payment upfront. I use the proxy service Tokyo Buyers and have been using them for at least the last 10 years. I always get great service and communication from them and have never really had a bad experience with them in all that time and I use them often (2-3 times this month already). Their website is: tokyobuyers.blogspot.com/

Preorder date will be announced a couple of days before it starts . You will see the info at the main tamashii site and their P-Bandai site You will members posting the start date too if they see it else where . tamashii.jp/For p-Bandai items it’s only for Japan , so you will need Japanese everything address , payment , etc . That’s where a proxy comes in , they can help you order , items gets shipped to them , then they ship to you . Proxy service will require item upfront payment before helping you place a order . they will normally ask for fees, domestic and international shippings later once item arrives at their warehouse. Ordering from proxy is pretty easy , once you know the p-Bandai item link, you can request them to preorder for you by giving them that link along with the item price and how many you want . They will then email you back with payment request, once you paid , they will try to get the preorder for you . If the items gets sold out , or the proxy used up all their extra shipping addresses , then they will just refund back your money . P-Bandai set item limits per account so if it’s limited to 2 per account then it usually fills up the proxy pretty quickly which means even if it’s still available at p-Bandai , the proxy that used up all their addresses will not be able to order anymore . So you might need to place a order at one proxy and a 2nd order at another proxy. I used fromjapan, zenmarket and whiterabbitexpress . Please go there and read their guide and take a look so you will be ready when it starts . Also you can also preorder from nippon-Yasan, anime-export , nin-nin-games , biginjap.

Gundam Fix Figuration RX 78-01 and MS-05S Zaku 1 (Char’s Custom). Totally wasn’t expecting these.

The joints on the RX-78-1 look plastic like the original version of the GFFMC Rx-78...

Went through and changed out the option parts on the RX-78-2 40th. No issues with scratching or scuffing and everything swapped quick. I did use a spudger though so that obviously helped a ton.

Snow White promo video:
I think this shows off the new wings way better than the figure itself that was on display, which basically hid them behind the figure we've already seen.
So the question is... Should we read into "Prelude" on the end to mean there is an even more different Snow White coming down the pipeline some day?

That thought crossed my mind as well with the "Prelude" but maybe that's the full name. Even with the illustrations included in the novels, they say they're only placeholders and aren't official designs because Katoki didn't want to reveal the desgins (hence the cloaked MS's). Although, I call BS and I think he just didn't have a final design for the Snow White. He had a complete design for the Prometheus. I wonder how will they sell this in the US market since the PO for the original Wing Zero was a big hit here.

I suspect the truth is a mix between what you said and that the novel's budget is just super-low and they didn't want to pay Katoki to fully design the suits. It's weird that Prometheus, of all of them, is what got a full design though. Although the novel itself sounds absolutely horrible based on plot summaries, I'd really love to see some well designed successors to the Wing suits... Maybe some day.

some more update on the Wing Gundam Snow White Prelude Looks like the price is now 29700 yen instead of what's posted on those older magazine scans. And it's for sure P-Bandai web exclusive.
