I guess it's only a matter of time before Bandai releases the Qan[T] and maybe a variation as Tamashii Nations exclusive eh.

My sentiments exactly for Strike Freedom.
Still I am happy to see Avanlanche and I am sure Qan[T] is not far away.
if we are lucky, a reissue of seven swords will happen soon as well.

Bandai really is getting their mileage out of this mold, huh. =P

So much Exia... I want other suits...
Nu Ver Ka
Hi Nu Ver Ka (not the dumb 1/100 mg "ver ka" its way closer to the original line art than a real ver ka)
Strike Freedom
Anything. I'm so done with Exia.

Hi Nu Ver Ka (not the dumb 1/100 mg "ver ka" its way closer to the original line art than a real ver ka) Off-topic, but i'm always amused by the weird double standard people have with Hajime Katoki(this is not directed at you, just Gundam fans in general). He makes Nu ver. ka and people complain that the original lineart design was perfect and Katoki ruined the design with the realistic detailing. Now, he makes Hi-Nu ver. ka dead on to its original lineart, and people b*tch because it doesn't look like his version of the Nu Gundam. On-topic, I want MB TV Wing Zero. Yes I know it'll never happen, but let me dream.  I know exactly what you mean, the community is full of hypocrites who just want to hate Katoki and are justifying different reasons to do so. The same can be said about any mecha designer like Shoji Kawamori or Mamoru Nagano. Then again, it probably has more to do with the fact that different groups of people whine each time, and the whiners' voices will always overpower the rest of the community's. |

Yes I know it'll never happen, but let me dream. Off-topic. I'm just annoyed that when people say that the Hi Nu IS a Ver Ka just because Katoki designed it. Doesn't matter at all. Ver Ka line associated with redesigns of the original putting in an extra twist. Even if Katoki was the one who designed the original lineart (which I'm not sure if he did) then this should not be labeled as a Ver Ka. Complete different line. I really dislike the older "slim" Hi Nu so I don't even want to touch that topic. On-topic. Don't know if I really want this. Its definitely my favorite Exia although I don't like the design of Exia as much as other people claim they do (Imagine the worst types of fans, I know one outside of the internet so...). So overrated for me. Laeviation seems like a much viable buy for me. Even skipped Destiny because I really don't like the suit. Not because of stupid reasons given by (sigh...) wackymodder wtv but I just don't like it. |

As someone who hopefully will work in the entertainment industry I respect people like Katoki, Shoji, and Mamoru (just realized who this was because I stumbled on his five star stories book at a store). The community could really be toxic sometimes with all their "opinions". Kinda wanted to go on a rant but I'll save my/ everyones time and not do that. So tired of people underestimating how ridiculously hard it is for Katoki and whoever it may be to achieve their place. |

Newbee question : I have none item from this line.
Does any of the MB worth it ?

Newbee question : I have none item from this line. Does any of the MB worth it ? (the Laevatein is tempting) I'd personally say yes. Its a beautiful piece that actually has alot of "play" value. Or in other words damn awesome articulation. Also thinking of picking up a Laevatein too along with a second Freedom reissue. Personally I'm not that big of a fan of Exia but I definitely like the Avalanche much more than its other variants. Personally skipped the Destiny because I don't like the suit itself. Not going to deny that the redesign looks really nice. Side note. Exia I believe is the lightest MB in the series. Hopefully the Laevatein would have more weight to it. |

I would without a doubt,fully endorse the MB line. Just imagine a completed model kit with all of the paint and markings already preapplied, but with the heft and solidness of a chogokin toy. They usually come with a crap ton of accessories and the articulation is usually top notch. The only thing missing from this line are ratchet joints.

I so agree with you mole...great great figure but they do painfully need ratchet.

Newbee question : I have none item from this line. Does any of the MB worth it ? (the Laevatein is tempting) Do it! I'm known to tell people to buy everything but seriously, the Metal Build toys are amongst some of the best. Great heft, quality and detail overall. Just a solid, solid toy. And very nice to look at. |
