Does anyone know if you can preorder without a JPN address? I am gonna be in town so I can go pickup...I wonder if I can leave hotel address lol. unfortunately, you will still need a p-bandai account to place the order, which also needs japanese payment and address. Maybe you can ask if a proxy can place the preorder for you and email you a confirmation so you can print it and bring it there for pickup. But then if they ask for id it will not match with the prox'y account, unless they can make a p-bandai account for you under your name,, Maybe there's a option in the pre order form that allows them to state the name of the person that will be doing the pickup. not sure never done this.

Thanks for the answer. That sounds like way too much of a runaround for a naked strike. I already have an Aile Strike. Well I guess I'll check out the exhibition and post some pictures, and hope they sell some other cool stuff! Looking to pick up a gunbarrel striker set while there.

Me: Metal Build Astray Red Dragon please.
Bandai: Can I interest you in a Strike with its weapon instead? Also it can mount the Red Frame backpack for some reason.
Joking aside, I REALLY love the redesign of the Caledfwlch for the Metal Build. It works pretty nicely with Strike as a variant, but I really hope they release a Red Dragon pack.

There's already a couple 3rd party KOs of this on the way so I will wait for one of those at a lower price

A cool video by Bandai about the production process of a Metal Build. Pretty informative and definitely hypes the brand. tamashii.jp/t_kokkaku/121/Makes me really excited to see what they'll have at the Infinity show- part of me is hoping for something really out there like a Metal Build Iron Man, Ultron, or C-3P0. And of course, the next Gundam and Evas, and hopefully Grendizer.

If Bandai is using POM joints, makes me wonder why they loosen so much more than most of the KOs.

Man, BANDAI surely know how to handle their products. Metal Build is expensive, but still sells out like hotcakes. LOL
Latest video show us BANDAI effort to launch premium product. Thanks for posting it, gpa!

Sort of random but just tossing out that I tossed up Crossbone X-1 for 215 shipped if anyone's interested.

Thanks for posting it, gpa! No problem! Metal Build is my favorite toy line right now, so I'm happy that Bandai puts effort into hyping it up!

Ok, I knew this was coming. And I know it's the same than X1. But man... it looks cool. UC plus metal build, this one is coming home.

Yup. I'm on board. Actually looks cooler than the X1 IMO. I love lances and the big ass gun. Let the POs start! Do we have a MSRP yet?

Now that I've seen the hi resolution images of this, I'm even more excited. The gun is the long range cannon from the F90II-L Long Range Type, which I happen to have the gunpla of and is badass. The dark color scheme works even better with the gold trim. 26400 yen, November release.
