Finally have some more Caledfwlches and my Crossbone X2 inbound. I looked back and I preordered those back in June, sheesh. The squad I'm looking forward to assembling is Astray Red Dragon made with Red Frame Kai, Blue Frame Second L, and Gold Frame Amatsu. Almost there. I also wonder what's next since we're near the end of everything that's been teased. We have a few more option packs like the Lightning Striker and Lohengrin launchers, some big stuff like GN Arms, the Dynames Repair (which they'll obviously reuse to make normal Dynames). If they wanted to milk the Astray mold some more to make a Gold Frame Amateresu I wouldn't complain. Hell, speaking of mold resuses, if they made a Noir Striker they could knock out the Strike Noir and Astray Noir pretty easily. I keep crossing my fingers for a Metal Build or Metal Composite Unicorn, but I'm probably dreaming. I really don't like the look of the old GFF, and the MG is looking really dated too next to the RG. While I'm dreaming, if they started doing Metal Builds of IBO I wouldn't care one bit about the abuse of mold re-use for the frames. Just gimme solid and detailed figures of every form of Barbatos plz. EDIT: Now that I think about it, now that we have Blue Frame Second L, there's one last thing that was shown off in 2015 that we still haven't gotten. Never forget:

They have a very nice barbatos lupus rex... just take the metal spirit one and make it 1/100 (they should have done that F****** bandai). An astray noir would be nice but more of the same. After seeing what they did with the HIRM God gundam I want a MB or GFFMC one. Also with the new movie releases a GSelf gundam would be possible and they could milk the multiple backpacks. (I like it, I don't know the grade of acceptance). I want MB infinite justice gundam.

The Astray Red Kai is out, HLJ just requested payment.
The MCFF Green Zaku is next, April 29 release date
And since the Launcher Striker & Astray Blue L are soul web exclusive Bandai wants the money up front.

I really like the display stand for the Striker packs: It's nice to have somewhere to put these accessories when not equipped. I've been trying to think of some way to do something similar with Red Frame's addons...

I was on the fence with the new red frame due to funds, however when hobbysearch stock is still there I bit the bullet and sold some stuff. I heard that you need a red frame in your collection cant resist a gundam with samurai swords lol. In regards to blue frame revise..man that looks good. I can't afford to pay now but will probably get one later on. I'm hoping that the price won't skyrocket after the release. In regards to the strike packs, I have PO'ed the launcher pack. I wonder if you can fit in everything and you can do a perfect strike. The launchers backpack is too big but knowing bandai I'm sure they have figured out something to fit all 3 packs.

Does anyone know if the US P-Bandai site or if Bluefin will get the Blue Frame or Strike packs? Bluefin has the new Eva and that P-Bandai has the Ka Signature ZZ Gundam, so I wonder if there's a chance that one or both will offer these too.

Yes there is a chance but we aren't 100% sure but if you want a good price for them, Nate has them for preorder. He is here and on FB. Personally I would rather get them now than guess.

Blue frame looks super cool - will try to snag one at launch and hopefully can get it close to SRP (Cross fingers) I think you can still do the perfect strike. The back mount to support the launcher, I don't think you need it as it can hold the gun by itself, same with the sword as well, it can hold it and don't think you would need the backpacks where you reserve that for the Aile Strike part. All of this are just assumptions on what you can do. Pretty cool though that they included stands for display options.

Got my order for Second L in!
I was humming and hawing about the Striker packs since I hadn't actually gotten a MB Strike yet but looks like they're sold out on P-Bandai already! Guess I gotta go to the resellers if I change my mind.

I caved and ordered the blue frame for 340,- including shipping. I wanted the striker packs also but since its P-Bandai I'm not going to pay that much for them. Makes me wonder why the Blue Frame is a P-Bandai release since its pretty populair.

The Blue Astray is really beautiful & what mpchi said encompasses what I feel of disappointment with their decision to make this brand new version an exclusive.
It's not just some cosmetic changes.
The timing is also rough on some people because they are releasing delayed products on top of the regular ones.
That said, I got the Blue 2nd L through a proxy for 27500 yen.
We'll see how much additional charges they'll ask for later.
I haven't decided on the additional packs yet.

May be ot has something to do with original blue frame failed in sales (I regret not getting it for 100usd at entertainment earth when it went on sale). I guess they decided this is not popular enough to be a normal release.
