Does anyone have the regular and Alternative Strike Flight Pack? I'm floored by how much nicer the paint quality in the Alternative Strike Red Frame is, I can't help but wonder if the Flight Pack follows the same theme. Alternative Strike Red Frame and Caletfwlches are this really nice matte finish and the glossy flight pack looks silly inbetween them.

www.taghobby.com/archives/454148METAL BUILD GUNDAM Astray gold frame HANA version Preorder starts May 29 2020 Price with tax : 27500 ¥ Release date : october 2020 Well, I was hoping for the Astray Amateresu, but at least they added some new details/design elements for the Hana for the Metal Build. In Gunpla it's just a straight recolor.

Gold Frame Hana is a very nice surprise, I don't know if that was even teased at any shows before now... I missed out on Blue Frame 2 Rev. unfortunately, so I'm going to try to get pick up the Hana. Guess I will be missing out on Sentinel Gaogaigar and Pose+ Baikanfu after all...
Still wish we'd start getting some new mechs in the MB line though...

The Astray Hana looks imposing, the blue of the torso really breaks up the colors beautifully & like you guys said it's different enough to justify a purchase. XD
Btw, I didn't realize that since last year Bandai was releasing Metal Builds & Composites in an almost consecutive pattern, I think they only skipped March.
This year they have:
January: Strike Gundam, Alternative Flight Unit
February: Red Astray, Green Zaku (Both pushed to April due to Corona)
April: Caletvwlch unit (2nd run), Astraea High Maneuver unit (pushed to May)
May: Wing Zero Snow White (pushed to June), Double Raiser Designer Blue (lottery)
June: Wing Zero Snow White (2nd run, pushed to July), Eva 1
July: Exia Repair
August: Freedom, Exia Repair & Eva 1 (2nd runs), RX-78-1 (Rollout ver.)
September: Blue Astray 2nd L, Launcher Striker pack
October: Aile Striker backpack, Astray Hana
November: Blue Astray 2L (2nd run)

Here's my simple review of only the Caletvwlch option set that I just received.

Well sh*t.
I haven't heard anyone else mention it, any issues with the Alternative Red Frame Kai breaking? I've had a normal Red Frame for years so I know how to move them, first time I tried to pose its leg it snapped clean off.

Can't offer any insight though, since I just have the original Red Frame.

I haven't seen any reports of stuff breaking off the Alternative Red Frame Kai. It's likely you just got unlucky and got a defective unit. Believe me I've been there. Maybe you can send it back where you bought it for a refund.

Wish I had learned that lesson with my QanT, I'm still sad about the effect parts on that crumbling, but I bought it from an eBay seller.

Dynames is still coming, but we don't have a release date yet. So it'll either be in December or early 2021. There'll probably be an Eva 2020 version of Eva 2, also. Anything after that is probably going to be revealed later this year since I think that will be all their current reveals except for Justice Gundam and GN Arms.
