It is some kind of special sword. But I don't know what it is specifically.

Looks like a weird hybrid between the Tactical Arms and Caletvwlch... except that it's on the Strike instead of an Astray. EDIT: Upon further review I am almost certain that is Caletvwlch with some extra parts to attach to the Strike. Maybe it'll be an add-on that can attach to multiple suits. The details are different but the color scheme and flow of the parts is exactly what I'd expect for a Metal Build-ized version of that sword and is absolutely in-line with all of the design changes to the Astrays that have happened for the Metal Build releases: Tying it into the Tactical arms is really cool from a technological progression standpoint.

I have enough MB Red Frames to accommodate a Caletvwlch add on.

Well, “somehow” I manage to be scheduled to be in Tokyo for “work” that weekend of the event, so I might pop in and see what’s up. Why oh why didn’t they sell the SF Soul Blue this year lol.

The larger promotional pictures focus on the Eva-01 too so the Japanese fans there may have a better chance to pick it up at a fair price. I love the Aile Strike & I even consider it one of the best MBs they ever made but I don't want to buy a 3rd one even though I really want the Caletvwlch option. XD There is a post on Instagram saying the next Metal Build is the Blue Destiny 01 but I'm not sure if it's real or 3rd party release. http://instagr.am/p/BvfARANBG5I

Yeah I caught that hashtag & for a split second I was like "Is that worthy of a Metal Build ahead of other iconic mobile suits?"
It also contradicts the earlier polls they used to publish.

Nothing spectacular but solid if you like the Blue Destiny.

I feel you dude! damn, that SF soul blue is premium I paid heaps for it man, but there is a reissue of it next month right as a lottery - I hope you can score one when you are there but I'm not expecting it to be cheap.
They haven't announced anything for the Tamashii event 2019 so maybe you can visit that and pick up an item, but I think you would need to pre-order locally and pick it up over the event.
Enjoy mate, take some pics and share it to everyone!
Anyway, cancelled my Astrea GN LAuncher which looks really good - I'm just going to stick with what I want - too many POs, MC ZAku, RX-78-2, upcoming Max VF-1A, wahhhhhh!

They actually did the lottery back in December and the figure's being released in May. There's a few up on Yahoo Japan Auctions for really good prices given the rarity of the Soul Blue, you just have to wait till May to get it.

Yeah, the soul blue's price has gone down compared to when it was released. I think this is the best time to get it.
