I think it's either random or just a browser thing. Sometimes I get instant access through Google Chrome & sometimes it gets me back to the global page. I noticed that I get through much easier using my iPhone. If it happens more often try using different browsers or a proxy site.

You're welcome. That used to happen to me too since their website is so confusing wih things like necklaces, figures, pens... etc. This is the link to the main p-Bandai store that we care about. p-bandai.jp/tamashiiwebshouten/Just curious how do you guys bypass redirect to global site. I was always able to go to the actual link after couple tries, but somehow it just doesn't do that for me today. I use a different browser when that happens, Firefox seems to work fine . Also when they redirect you to the global site , you can scroll down to the bottom and select “VIEW PREMIUM BANDAI IN JAPAN”. Leave that open and click on the previous actual link again and it should take you straight there .

sp.tamashii.jp/special/metalbuild_infinity/exhibition.phpSome new info was released about the Metal Build Infinity event next month. There will be an area to show off the various add ons planned for Strike Gundam, and an area for the Evangelion series where we'll probably to see Eva 2 or other future Evas. There will also be a new model area which sounds like it will reveal any forth coming MBs including Crossbone X2. Since X2 is a November release this might show what figures will close out this year and lead into 2020. Then there will be a Future of Metal Build exhibit which will show 2 concept figures to "expand the Metal Build World." So, could show the next Gundam or mecha series that will get MB releases (Code Geass finally? Or Grendizer), or could be something completely new. I'd totally be down for android/armor stuff like Gridman, Ultraman or Ironman. There will also be an exhibit detailing the creation of Metal Builds as well.

We need Hi Nu gundam and the Sazabi. Those two need to happen sooner or later and I'd rather have them soon... Also I hope they give us main gundams from other series like g gundam or turn a gundam, or a barbatos lupus rex. Even something like the Age FX or the double X will work for me. Also anything from UC. But no more 00 or Seed stuff (except they are finally doing infinite justice).

The official preorder for the x2 just started. And pbandai only crashed at the beginning, (when all the proxy stores like N-Y rush in to place their presold preorders) the site seems to load fine now.

Wow, the X2 is sold out on BBTS for $430. I think it's nice looking & I'm still thinking about picking it up but Bandai's preorders these upcoming weeks are hectic. If it was a Metal Build Akatsuki or a Strike Noir using the existing MB Strike body I'd preorder that in a heartbeat but the X2 requires more thought.

BBTS always charge a arm and leg for P-Bandai items. You can get it for cheaper from a proxy store like Nippon-yasan , Biginjapan, or better yet ask a proxy to get it for you for a small fee. you should try fromjapan or Zenmarket. The link for the Metal build x2 is p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000135297

I'm more into UC stuff than other series (although I have some MB from 00, Seed and wings) so this one was an easy click. I'm happy I got mine from NY but full payment upfront is not always possible for everybody (me included).

I deal with FromJapan but they usually cancel my Metal Build preorders because of the limited quantities rule Bandai used to enforce & yesterday I used DeJapan instead to preorder the X2 but before I hit "Submit Order" I cancelled. I was worried about spending too much... then I bought the Strike Freedom Soul Blue instead for $330. This video is tempting me to reconsider the X2 though.

Fromjapan is very popular so you normally have to get your preorder request in early. And with them, if you cant not get it from the 1st batch, you can ask them again when they open the 2nd batch. But since you bought the Strike Freedom Soul Blue for $330. ONLY $330.....Only $330. That alone is a Big Win. Congrats.

Glad I decided to go ahead and take the plunge on the X2, my regular middleman (who always does a fantastic job for me, and is in general a good guy) was able to get it for me for $266 after fees and domestic shipping. I somehow managed to snag a Soul Blue for $337, too, after giving up on ever getting either version of Strike Freedom. I should be getting that and Gunbarrel Striker in the next couple weeks, so I can't wait to see what the future holds for this series. Definitely my favorite line going right now.

Thanks! Though it seems like there are actually lower prices on it if you go to YJ Auctions right now... I even came across a few in the sub $300 range. I just wonder if this is going to be a permanent or long term reduction in price and rarity, or if we'll see the prices pick back up in a month or two...

The JP p-bandai lottery release of the MB soul Blue was this month, so there's definitely a jump more out for sale. Price will most likely jump back up in a month or 2.
