BBTS really sucks when it comes to tamashii web exclusives. They really charge a lot extra for those exclusives (more than 50% percent the retail price usually) so buy only if you can't get it anywhere else. NY and ninnin usually have better prices. I hate NY since they always charge a lot for shipping and usually put abusive prices on sold out items, but I always get my Tamashii exclusives items from them (the price is acceptable and almost the same of getting it through a proxy)

Wow great price! How is Nin Nin? First time I hear about them. How is the shipping cost? ME?! No complaint at all... ...

ggmara.blogspot.com/2019/07/1100-gn.htmlGN shields for both Metal Build figures and the Hobby Star MG kits. These will be great for the MB Astraea figures, and will be way cheaper than buying another options set for the Type F figure.

Nice. I just got mine as well but I'm not sure if I want to keep it. Why's that? It felt more of an impulse buy when I received it. Maybe because my interest in MB Gundams have waned down a bit because nothing interesting to me has been announced even during the metal build event.

I email Bandai a few times and they will absolutely not send a replacement piece or help in any way. And I bought it from Nippon Yasan and they haven't helped and won't exchange it. So I had to file a PayPal dispute.

Tamashii Nation exclusive: 00 Raiser designer blue tamashii.jp/special/tamashii_nation/item_07.phpToo much blue for my liking, I think markings are the same unlike the soul blue strike where there is noticeable increase in markings. I have the O.G and will stick to it, but happy for the peeps who dont own one as the O.G prices have sky rocketed

Honestly, the O Raiser getting a re-release via this version of OO Raiser is the most exciting aspect for me. For a series that sells so well, Bandai sure seems to hate putting any effort at all into Metal Builds right now. Strike Rouge would've been a much more exciting palette swap exclusive.

This is basically what they did with the NG 1/100 00 2nd season kits: a 2nd release using pastel-like colors instead of the straight colors.

So happy they choose something I'm not interested in... too many PO to go after this with the second market prices... I was sure this was going to be crossbone X3, but luckily it wasn't.

Especially when you can get the MC version for under $100 these days.

ahhh too much blue, hehehe! I would love the Gunmetal inner frame on my Gundam, it has a pretty good shine I'd say as well. Happy for those who don't own a 00 Raiser for sure! Question is would this be a lottery P-Bandai release just like the Soul Blue? The Harrison F91 was just a P-Bandai was also released but no lottery, I guess it depends on how popular the mech is

The Soul Blue wasn't initially a lottery exclusive but just an event exclusive. Demand was high so they did the lottery and also did a regular TWE for the Asian region. Screw the rest, right Bandai?

Makes me have no desire to get the Bandai ones at those crazy aftermarket prices. Even though technically the Bandai 00 Raiser is the only one I am missing.
