This one is the last of the three videos they posted... showing us their future plans for the gundam MB collection, seems they are finally going UC seriously.

A lot of potential profit for Bandai going UC, since very very few got gokin treatment in the 1/100 scale. Even when being very selective, there are countless "hits" they can cherry pick from. Goes well along side with GFFMC, since that line is a bit slow and mostly doing repaints in the next couple years.

PO date for Metal Build Dynames Repair III should be tomorrow (Friday) no? Since this is retail release and not TWE, all the usual suspects should have it right?

Would really really love to see a RX-78 Gundam MB designed by the original designer Kunio Okawara. Want to see how it'd be different from the Ver. Ka in GFFMC. Also, please, a GOUF or a GELGOOG!! Dare I wish for an ACGUY? Also, the highlight for pre-orders for me today is gonna be the Ryujinmaru. I'll wait on Dynames till we get the proper Green colored version.

Actually very likely we WILL see a RX-78. Just heard news that the Metal Build UC will cover the 1979 Gundam series, Z, and even ZZ. So while the Hi-Nu is the first to come in this wave, many more will follow.

I don't see bandai doing doubles, an RX78 MB would be very rare, but I'd love to see them taking Z and ZZ. I think both line complement each other. I'd really love to see a DOM, the guncannon and my all time favorite Guntank in the GFFMC or MB line. Still I'm happy they are finally taking MB line outside 00 and SEED... I hope they keep expanding the line to other gundam universes, at least main gundams...

There'd be no point in them showing the logo for the original MS Gundam if they didn't plan on making an RX-78 MB. The only question really would be who is the designer. I hope we get to G Gundam at some point too.

I hope we get to G Gundam at some point too. It's pretty odd that they are double or triple releasing the same suit across multiple lines... One would think you'd want to avoid competition. Like last year saw 5 RX-78-2 Gunpla releases (40th, Beyond Global, Origin, PG Unleashed, Entry Grade). In terms of higher-end figures We have the GFFMC, the Yokohama, and now a Metal Build? All not spaced too far from each other time-wise. Zeta just got a GFFMC Ka Signature release too. I like seeing the Zeta line fleshed out in MB, at least Z, MkII, and Hyaku-Shiki. Titans version MKII is likely aa well. We have both Psycho Gundams already in the GFFMC line. Perhaps we'll see more Titans/Neo-Zeon suits in GFFMC? Not sure what else we'd see in ZZ beyond the ZZ, since they haven't been really doing any antagonist suits in the MB line.

Quebeley would probably be a good candidate too (good for recolors LOL).

They did Mazinger Z in SOC DC in 2017 (and several subsequent variants), and MB in 2018. Mazinger and RX-78 are equally iconic mechs and will ALWAYS make Bandai money- that's why the can make 18,000 RX-78 Gunplas and have them all sell well, and then do the same thing again next year. It's an evergreen character like Batman/ Optimus Prime, etc. Plus like I said it'll be a different designer's take on the RX-78 so it'll probably at least marginally different from the Yokohama and GFFMC. It may use some of the parts of those gokin Gundams or it could be completely new from the ground up depending on how they want to handle it.

Oh I don't dispute that they do this, and I'm sure since Bandai has many departments they don't coordinate as well as they should. I'm just bemused seeing this non-coordination happen.

Yeah sold out instantly. I got it to my cart at HLJ and got booted at checkout. Oh well, it'll turn up somewhere else.

Ryujinmaru is the one I am interested, but I sat out this round just to see how popular it sold. Didn't watch it like a hawk, but looks like it sold out very fast like many MBs (checked 30 mins after the drop and pretty much all gone). If a cheaper deal comes up or from a US shop, I might get one. But not in a hurry to get the early offerings and end up hurting on shipping.

It was on the AmiAmi page but I was in bed and the phone wasn't working. Then when I woke up, it's gone! I cannot believe it is highly in demand. I am hoping for a restock in HLJ....
