I just want the Blue Frame Second L to complete my Astray squad. It's been almost 4 years since we saw the prototype. Take my money.

Flight unit is same that comes with aile strike? It's actually the "Strike version" of the Red Frame's flight unit. Probably just different decals and different peg for the Strike (assuming they have different pegs, I only have the Astray so can't verify).

It looks different from the Aile Strike. Either way, I'm not impressed with what they have shown or teased so far.

Yeah, add ons usually don't much for me either, with the sole exception being the Powered Red set. This Alternative Strike set is going to be a pass for me as well, but looking forward to the EVA 02 info coming tomorrow. There've been a ton of great reveals from other brands over the past two weeks thanks to Wonder Festival Shanghai, Sentinel's 10 Anniversary Exhibit, and the Tokyo Toy Show, so I really hope this week's Metal Build show has some equally interesting things for us.

If they're revealing unit 02 tomorrow, hopefully PO won't be set this Friday or Monday. Give us a breather Bandai.

Yeah, definitely dreading that instant PO start for Eva 02, I finally paid my middleman off for Crossbone X-2 this past week, so it'd be nice to get some leeway between releases. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if Eva 02 preorders opened at the end of this month for a December or January release.

Me: Oh god Bandai please just give me Metal Build Astray Blue Frame Second L. Bandai: L I G H T N I N G A S T R A Y In the same way that the Draig Strike is a Strike with something that is normally for the Astray, looks like they're teasing an Astray with something normally on Strike:

Man, they are really riding these Seed MSV packs hard... but at least they'll be usable for several different figures.

Good thing they're selling the Strike by itself at a lower price. I may get another one if more striker packs come out besides the launcher and sword packs.

I seriously dont like these BS add ons, this was never supposed to be the aesthetic for SEED, this feels like something more befitting the modular systems of 00
I honestly just want my blue frame L addon kit and some new actual figures instead of add ons ad nauseum
seriously, where is the metal build gundam barbatos lupus or lupus rex?

The flight option set i recall it appears in the seed astray manga, and I think the caltvwch also appears in a manga... but I see no point in using 8 at the same time (except spending a fortune). I'm not into this alternative thing and mixing things up... I hope this is not the great announcement for the event, until now I haven't seen anything interesting for me (the eva is impressive but I'm not into it)

The Alternative Strike is one of the main features of the show along with EVA 2, but there's still supposed to be the "New Model" and "Future of Metal Build" exhibitions. New Model should be all the stuff that's coming in the near future- including the Astrea Gundam and Crossbone X2, plus hopefully the next several figures after that. And Future of Metal build is supposed to show the "expansion of the Metal Build World" but they've already revealed it'll have to do with Gundam Seed and 00, so what exactly the expansions will be is up in the air.
The show is starting at 6 pm Japan time on Friday for Club Tamashii members, so the first news should be out in about 12 hours.
