Hi guys! Just needed an opinion, with MB Strike Gundam coming out - wanted to complete the trio of Strike, Freedom and Strike Freedom - already got Strike Freedom MB. I had no plans of getting Strike but on the fence of wanting to get him. Wanted to grab Freedom, however I heard there are alot of issues with the MB, loose stand, very loose figure etc....just needed a feedback on it pretty much or I'm OK owning a Strike Freedom? Thanks! Like others have said, the MB Freedom is one of the older frames , but I have the reissue version, no QC no loose parts. It's not as tight as the MC or the newer MB but it's not floppy loose either. It can still hold it's own. The stand should be just the same as other MB stands, have no issues on that one either. When it came out it was pretty popular too, sales were good It was the first Metal build to have a official reissue a bit over a year after release. I'm sure they make a little bit too much when they reissued. And there's also all kinds of Freedom model kits around. Then there's also the Prism Coated Tamashii web exclusive which is the one that seem to have the worst problem of the coating turning yellowish for some. So if plan to get it try to avoid the Prism Coated one, and maybe go for the normal reissue one (not really sure how to tell them apart from the first issue).

many are still waiting for their N-Y order too, I wish you the best of luck Yeah, I sent a question to NY's customer support inquiring about my order. They said they are waiting for their inventory as they received less than what was ordered. Anyways, they said will be sent as soon as possible. So, no cancellation at least. Yet. That seems to be their general reply, they have a new one now that give you the option to cancel your order but they will try to give you the refund in the form of a voucher Its one time use (not sure on the expiration date) Can only be use for new orders Your items cost total must be greater than the voucher before shipping. (one MW member found a way around that - by adding more items , add the voucher , then remove the extra items.) There's also the paypal dispute period of 180 days, or your credit card . I wasn't able to get my preorder from N-Y because I thought I already placed one with either them or BigInJapan. (nope ,did not place the preorder with either ) had to scrabmel to get on in at Nin-nin-games which they failed me this time. So all this N-Y stuff is just me hearing it as a outsider. Luckily I was still able to get one for a ok marked up, thanks to a fellow member that was able to run down to a physical store to get it for me. (the mark up was from the store of course) With that said. I've also been pretty active hunting the VF-31a , so I ended up buying all kinds of other things, (figmas, snes, metal composite O gundam, vf-25 renewal valks, cdjapan outlet sale stuff) not even sure i'm i'm winning or failing at this point. Mandarake listed like 3 or 4 , but they were sold out in minutes. from 33000 yen to 35000 yen Yahoo auctions have some but their auctions ends around 45000 and above, the do have buy it nows but the price is normally high. Rakuten has a couple for buy it now around the 44800 ,45800 and above

That abdominal cannon just ruins the Strike Freedom design for me. It looks more awkward with that beam effect attached to it. On a certain angle, it just looks like a big swollen appendage. They could have forgone that and still equipped the SF with the shoulder cannons instead just like the original Freedom. I don't like that abdominal cannon effect either. It should only be in that shape/form if it's a ROCKET.

I got a MB Strike Freedom w/ WOL and happy with it - this looks incredible as well! I know that they are 1/144 - how's the quality and feedback for those who owns this? Or should I just stick w/ Metal build Cheers! My Metal Robot strike freedom is still at HLJ Pw, but the reviews seems to be pretty positive. I feel that the MB version is much better, but there's no MB I Justice announced yet. Which is why I'm getting the MR Strike Freedom in the first place , so it can pair up with the upcoming MR Infinity Justice. I also really like the colorful effect parts for this WOL set. maybe the effects parts for the funnel/bits can fit on the MB version too.

Well , if you are planning to get it , it’s probably best to get the WOL too. Im might need to check out an early review before jumping on this.

Though...FWIW, my PO at NY has yet to have an updated status given that it released back in late-March. I should've gotten something on it being shipped already. many are still waiting for their N-Y order too, I wish you the best of luck

nin-nin games contacted me with the bad news. " no vf-31a for you due to short supply" well the actual email as way longer but it's pretty much it. The market for this item right now is burning hot. So for now it looks like I'm out of the game for the VF-31a. But if anyone sees one for fair enough price , please give me a pm. Dang sorry, dude. There's one for a markup on Yahoo Auctions (Jp)... page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/w225743890thanks, but with the current bid it will probably end pass the 50000 or something.

Err missed ny. How much does ny charge for sal small parcel? I went with hlj and I know hlj charges around 1000 yen for sal small parcel for item around this value, at least that's the shipping fee for metal robot sf. N-Y charged 2,540 yen for small parcel registered.
