I received an email from ShowZStore that the version of the Blue Destiny Unit 01 they have in stock is the revision with fixed, tight joints. That's on sale as well and also going for $70 on Gundam Central.

I went ahead and ordered that 3rd party CALETVWLCH set from ebay. It comes in a "DX" set that includes 3 of the weapons for the Red Frame Dragon mode, and it's cheaper than the official MB release which seems to only include 1 weapon. It should be shipping later this month. Let me know how it is. I am a sucker and ordered 5 Bandai Caletvwlch. If it is compatible with Bandai's, i dont mind getting the KO one I received them today. They're better than a model kit, but nowhere near as good as a MB weapon as far as quality.

I really felt stupid for missing out the xn seven sword combo purchase. I saw it on aliexpress and I ignored it. Now it's sold out everywhere. Congrat bro for making the right decision.

3rd party MB Sazabi up for pre-order. Already sold out on ShowZStore, but Oh My Primus has its pre-order up for it. ohmyprimus.com/jgmszb.htmlThe price defaults to Singapore dollars, so the price for the figure in USD will be $175, which is a good price if this thing ends up being along the same size as the MC or SL Kshatriya. It looks like the details are as good as those of the MC Kshatriya

IT looks great! Not sure about the quality since I've never heard from them. But I know that sooner or later bandai will end up doing MB sazabi and MB nu gundam so I'd rather wait for them...

Maybe the hope in KO brands outdoing Bandai is still there. MoShow 00Q > Bandai 00Q. MC Trans Am outdoes Bandai Trans Am (gloss color degrading). Joints are tighter too. MoShow Strike taught me a great lesson for taking their sh*t lightly. Now that thing is impossible to collect???

Mo show 00 qant is a different product (very good one), but it doesn't have the third transformation, so it looks like a more solid one. I go to third parties for things I'm sure won't be released, like the MC kshatriya (great figure, almost as good as a bandai release). But as a UC fan char and amuro last units deserve the best, so I'd rather wait and put my money on bandai (here in Argentina there's not a lot of gundam fans so I can't sell the figure for a good price so getting and selling it later is not possible).

Geezus christ. I've been trying to get an answer from Gundam Central for the last 2 weeks if they're carrying the fixed version of the Blue Destiny Unit 01 that has the tight joints. Since I haven't received any replies in email, I tried their facebook group, and all I got there was smarmy responses from what I can only call fanbois, making every excuse under the sun to justify why GC hasn't responded to a pretty common question when it comes to high end toy figures, and something that other stores have been able to answer for me within a couple days at most. Everything from "maybe you emailed the wrong address" to "they're very busy" to "maybe they just don't know", to accusing me of complaining in my emails that they haven't replied. What a bunch of petty douchebags.

It gives me the impression that directly IM him will solve everything. 😁 Not like a personally had experience with, but just what everyone on the group said.

Speaking of UC figures. The Blue Destiny Unit 02 I ordered should be arriving tomorrow. Awaiting your feedback. That one looks really cool and my collection is low on zeon units I received it yesterday. The figure is nice and heavy and appears to have a lot of die-cast content. It comes with a lot of accessories, including an extra GM head. The dual LED gimmick is nice and is powered by a built in rechargeable battery charged with a USB cable, which should be the norm for MB figures with LED gimmicks IMO. The chipmunk-like voice for the EXAM system is silly, but I realize that's really how it's supposed to sound. So far my only complaints are the shoulder joints are a little loose because they're made of a polycap-like plastic, but can probably be fixed, a couple plastic parts appear to be missing glue so I'll need to glue them, and the beam rifle looks a little small for the figure. For the sub $100 price, it's totally worth it.
