I thought that the new Astrays have the adapter that lets the old pack fit onto them? Looking at the Blue frame pics the slot looks exactly the same as the one on the Aile Strike. From what I'm seeing it's the exact same thing and just re released on its own now that there are three pieces that can use it. haha yeah i am not exactly sure. Maybe it is for the old red frame or blue frame release. The alternative aile strike pack is somewhat a weird release. I am guessing because of the event, they sold a lot of bare bone strike, so it's good to have the option to only get the Aile pack. Also its compatible with the New red astray and with the future blue astray second L.

This is guessing, but judging from the display stand for the Sword Strike pack contains middle joint to connect the Aile Pack
I think the Sword Strike pack should have all the components needed to make Perfect Strike. (since Sword Strike has the batteries, why not more for Perfect Strike)
I am guessing a new backpack joint with plugs on the side for launcher and sword and Aile pack on back. But, this will make the Aile pack stick out further backwards and not sure how it will align with the shoulder on the Strike.

I really hope that they can work it together without compromising aesthetics like that but we'll see. I guess it's better than nothing.

I do hope so that you are right - I have already invested on the gun launcher and then in the near future here you go Perfect Strike because your current one can't do it! hahaha! But they just released a PG set of it and I think Bandai has planned it that the ones that we are getting we will be able to configure Perfect Strike *cross fingers*

Found this great review of the Red Frame Kai Alternative Strike that compares it with original Red Frame and Red Frame Kai:
One minor interesting detail is the top of the new shoulders pops off to reveal a plug. I kept thinking the new shoulders was to make it compatible with Striker pack shoulders, but that hasn't panned out. Maybe for something else down the line?

Wait you can ship Amazon Japan to other countries? Or need a proxy?

Some products from Amazon Japan can ship to other countries using "Amazon Global". Also, the discount price appears after you add it onto cart and go to checkout! I saw you can buy crossbone, crossbone x2, astrea, destiny full package, and Evas that can ship to USA at least

The above video review saved me some cash. The backpack juts out really far from the body because of the connector they use. At the price Bandai sets for metal builds the connector design should have been better so it sits closer to the body. Good to see AJ had good prices for release.

Not sure, I don't have the any of the Red Frame Astray figures.

Connector on the new Red Frame Kai is identical to the old one. Things get silly and wonky if you use the adapter to put Striker packs on an Astray or Astray packs on a Strike since in both cases you have to sandwich the adapter between.
