Astraea High Mobility Test Equipment (AKA recolored Avalung OP Set) is slotted for April 2020 release. More info and photos here: p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000138460/Aside from color it's identical to the Avalung set, except it doesn't come with the standard Exia sword, and comes with an extra little attachment for more flexibility of the cannon. I don't know if anyone else has one coming, but I've got the SJL model plastic kit of Astraea shields and beam cannon coming so I can stick the cannon on to my Type F. Plus some DL shields are on the way too... Astraea Type F is about to become the Deep Striker.

Had both Metal Build Strike Freedom OG and Soul Blue, I prefer the OG version versus the matte painting of Soul Blue. This is my OG Metal Build Bandai.

I haven't put them together yet, but they're certainly a better deal than another $140 expansion kit that really needs a 2nd figure to go with

Post up impressions when you do! The seller I got mine from put the wrong city name on the shipping labels for both and they've been bouncing around the Midwest for over a week now, who knows if I'll ever get mine.

Can we keep 3p and KO discussion in the appropriate thread and stop bringing them.up here? It's a whole thread or two down in the same forum.

Equipment only. The Gundam itself has recently fallen a bit in price on the secondary market, on Mandarake there are multiple unopened slight box damage for 18000 yen.

This is also why I ignore Nippon Yassan too. With patience and a little bit of luck you can almost always find stuff for cheaper.

This is nuts. When the red options set runs $140 new, there's no justification for $269 for the white set.

And what's nuts to me is that if it were a community member reselling they'd get shat on while places like this and nippon yassan do it all the time and get links shared. I definitely don't feel price entitled even with retailers but this is ridiculous.

This is pretty normal for bbts, they always charge around $100 more for metal build tamashii web exclusive. They were never the to go place for tamashii exclusives . Bandai also limited this set to 2 per customer so that’s why even N-Y , bigjinjapan, and A-e are all charging a little more than their usual for tamashii exclusives.
Since the demand for the MB Astraea us down , the demand for these extra equipment will be down too, which would lower the preorder amount and add in some extra wait till release to get it at below msrp group . But since these are build to order , less preorder means less available, means it’s possible the price might go up later due to shortages. For that just Incase , I went and just preordered my 2 from my proxy and be done with .

BBTS didn't used to charge so much over retail but about two years ago it started to charge more and more... I go with NY because I dont have other options with this kind of items (even paying their expensive shipping is cheaper than BBTS). Anyway I shared the link because sometimes bros can only get it through there (as I said NY is my only source to get some exclusives even when I dont like them and I appreciate links even when the price sucks).

Yeah. I picked up the MB Blue Frame from BBTS for under $200 when it came out, so them charging more than that for an accessory set is ridiculous.
