Probably Nippon yasan will have it too, I used to buy the exclusives from them and never had problems, but I've heard many complains lately . Caveat emptor. They've been really frustrating and requiring often CC intervention. I dunno, in these times of uncertainty, going with a reliable vendor is pretty important. I'd have them near the bottom of your options TBH.

Lightning Striker photos and details: p-bandai.jp/item/item-1000147763/Looks really neat. I've avoided the Striker bandwagon since I'm more of an Astray guy but this thing looks really neat. A pretty cool detail is it has pegs for both Astray and Strike so no huge adapters are involved. Then again it's have to be that way since it attaches to the front of the torso too. Plus it ends with confirmation that they're not done with Striker packs. What's next? I'm surprised they haven't done a Strike Noir... Plus then it'd be easy to make Astray Noir. Other missing packs are IWSP and Ootori. It's a longshot but it'd be great to get a Testament Gundam for the Divine Striker.

Anyone has experience pre-ordering with nin nin games? Awhile ago. They feel alot like Nippon-Yasan in the way they do things albeit not the CURRENT iteration of the latter as that one seems to take 3241241234071 years to ship anything. That being said, NNG still took a bit longer than most to ship my purchase -- the most recent was the Chrome Noir Mazinger Z which was a couple years back?

Anyone has experience pre-ordering with nin nin games? nin-nin-games can be a hit or miss. I preorder some items from them without issues.. used their email coupons without issues and they were able to answer some of the questions I have in a timely matter. But some have issue with them on not fulfilling high demand preorder items. okini.land have the lowest price among those links and they seems to be pretty good at fullfilling preorders. ALSO, I think the METAL BUILD Lightning striker was sold out on p-bandai japan with in a hour of opening.

Here's keeping my fingers crossed that nin nin fulfills my lightning strike MB since it's sold out in Japan.
I see they are sold out too so hopefully they sold within what they secured, rather than oversell like NY and take forever to deliver.
And with the covid situation, I opted for DHL/Fedex to play safe on shippinhg delays.

They were a bit slow (2 weeks after release) sending out my GFFMC Snow White, and I had to email them about it, but it made it in the end.

I had the same issue with other sites when I used EMS. Took them close to a week to send out the items in stock. For NY when I upgraded the shipping to UPS, they sent out the item immediately.

Yeah, eventually. It originally was EMS, and because of the suspension of shipping by Japan Post I asked them if I could switch to DHL. They said yes; my order status was switched to "under preparation" for two weeks until I emailed them to ask and then it shipped right away. So I guess you just have to pester them about it a little bit if it's slow.

Freedom Concept 2 is back up at BBTS. Thanks for the heads up. Got my order in. While we are on the subject of Freedom, I pulled out the original release of this guy I bought new back in 2015. Haven't displayed him in over a year, and my god is he loose. He's such a floppy mess, with almost every joint from the arms to the ankles to even the wings giving little to no resistance. It takes a Herculean effort get him to stand straight on its own without his ankles and/or knees buckling. He's by far the worse in my MB collection when it comes to loose joints. Goes to show you how far they've come in terms of engineering these figures. I was planning on selling him off, but I would almost feel guilty doing so; no one wants a floppy figure, even if you get it at a good price. Can't wait for the Concept 2 to arrive in the mail to replace this guy.

Can't wait for the Concept 2 to arrive in the mail to replace this guy. I checked out my OG freedom and it is still somewhat durable and the joints are still tight enough to stand. I had it out displayed on a stand for awhile before I put it back in the box. I am surprised it is that bad for you.

ah NY - I haven't received my MP TF from them, never had a problem with them before - but looks like people are not receiving their orders is becoming often now.
I have reached out to my CC provider - Dammit I have a SH Figuarts PO'd from them. arrrrgh.
Anyway, I'm all good without the lightning pack, I'll stick with the ones that I saw from the anime hehe!
Looks like there is a 2nd batch - 2021 June release i think

The store owner just loves the set so much that he doesn't want anyone to buy it
