I've used Celga before. But, it's been a few years...not sure if that's helpful or not. :/

Wow...White Rabbit seems pretty cool. Just tried out a quote for the Gundam for sh*ts and giggles. Awesome site!

I'd get one through them but I'm already committed to biginjap, dont know if they can get me one though. they were nice enough to ask if its okay to go ahead with preordering because its release is in NOV. I told them to cancel the order. Do let us know if it worked for you guys

So, question for you boys: The only difference for this new release is the new decals and the fact it comes packed with the wings? I know I'm a huge sucker for Bandai repaints...but, for the asking price, and the fact you guys already own the original Metal Build release...why are you getting this?

Not enough that they got one, the need to have the new sticker variation on the box, new box, one to keep minty fresh, one for play and display etc... To keep the demand high and to artificially increase the secondary market value by decreasing availability. I been keeping an eye on the metal build thread. It's a good thing I have a strong dislike for Gundam Seed and Seed Destiny. Otherwise I'd be sad. Come on Metal Build line, give me some Endless Waltz stuff, and start with Deathsycthe Hell Custom.

Ah LOL...I'm guilty as charged. But, my days of buying duplicates ended long ago. Just simply too many toy lines I dabble in already... I am hoping Bandai continues their Full Metal Panic! mecha in the Metal Build line...I need an Arbalest, darn it! And can we have some Zeon mechs like a Gear Doga or Kampfer?!??

I actually didnt get MB destiny until it was already long sold out. So I only got 1. So with this Full Package release I'll finally be able to get a second one at a fair price point . I do like the new decals and I always like those all in one sets . For metal builds I try to get 2 of each if possible. I blame Macross for my multiple purchases habit .

And ain't it the dream to own 4 Macross toys...? 1 in battroid, 1 in gerwalk, 1 in fighter, and one in box.

Guys, when you use a middleman service to preorder, wouldn't it be better to buy at Tamashii Web Shop directly? I assume it would be cheaper than USD 382 - unless it's the going rate for Japanese Yen right now.

Tried that route too, You need a japanese credit card and a physical japanese home address, commercial addresses don't work either.

Are the Destiny's Wings of Light still available anywhere? I see links for bandaionline and whiterabbitexpress, but I don't have any experience with either site myself.
I'm surprised that they keep selling out so quickly when the Strike Freedom's wings were available to preorder for a while.

I'm surprised that they keep selling out so quickly when the Strike Freedom's wings were available to preorder for a while. Like Macross gokin stuff, I am not surprised at all that it sold out quick. This being a web exclusive and all. It was meant for only Japanese Market, thus, needing a Japan residential address to order and it was limited to 2 per household or something. Built to order so can we even consider that a sell out? I mean if it was open to oversea customers, the production run would be higher.
