I finally got around to opening my Aile Strike Warrior and I've got to tell you that it is AWESOME!! My wife even started talking crap about my other pieces like the SRC and basically anything smaller than that Gundam. IT'S SO HEAVY!!!
I'm glad I ordered the Buster and Quanta from them. I think I will order another Strike just for the quality of the piece and I have the 1st batch with misspelled base.

Curious, who did you order the Buster and Qan through? Do you know how close they are to production?

I ordered them from this place. www.tf-direct.com/c/gundam_0453They should be ready in September according to the site. MO-Show Aile Strike Gundam should be voted "The Toy of the Year". I cannot say enough about it!!!!! It's a massive piece of metal with great details!! You won't regret buying it. I think I'm going to buy another one. I got the first batch with the misspelled word "Worriow" on the base. |

I rarely post my thoughts on purchases I made, but this reminds me of Yamato Liger, an under priced heavy diecast, art.
Come on, when was the last time you see moving pistols/panels on virtually every limp? Did I mention, fingers that articulate? How about spring loaded shoulder panel? Lights? Size? OMG lots of diecast!!!
This can easily go double triple the price once production stops.

So how is TF-Direct.com ? Good service? Would recommend? I preordered it back then and I had no problems with them. I got it and it was packed extremely well. They shipped it quickly and they were responsive when I contacted them to inquire about the release date. I've since ordered more items from them. |

So how is TF-Direct.com ? Good service? Would recommend? Well....I preordered mine way back and one day I received an email stating my order is ready to be shipped. Then a week went by and another week went by and the website still stating my order is ready to be shipped, but nothing was shipped. SO i reached out to the site and asked what is going on. it took them two days to get back to me and they told me they forgot to ship my item out becasue they were too busy. The package was so so, it came with these black four corners protector that keeps the corners safe. however there was no bubble wrap or foam to protect the body. SO if you package get poked by something sharp, its a goner. well, at the very least your corners will be in good shape. This comes from China so its a long way to US. luckily my was ok. |

Picked mine up today and man this one hell of an impressive first figure from Mo Show. I own almost all of the metal build figures from Bandai and this guy is even more impressive and cheaper than those lol. Sure, the way the LEDS work is a little wonky, but they do work. Paint is very good with only small hiccups here and there. All of the sliding panels is just wonderful! And the size is perfect in my opinion. Not too big and too small. Man at 1/60 the perfect grade must be gigantic huge. I will be keeping my eye on future Mo Show releases and I have their 00 Quanta on order.

Is the word "warrior" misspelled on your base? Do you have a cable that connects the LED's or do you have a different connector? I'm looking to get another just to have and I wanted to know if anything changed from the one I have. |

The LED connector connects to the stand and another connector connects to the body. Also the head was not attached in the box and was in a separate section of the box. |

One problem I have encountered is that after not a full day of gentle posing, I'm noting small stress marks on the inner most knuckle joints of the fingers. I may contact Mo Show to tell to maybe use stronger plastic for the hands on the next release.

I opened mine yesterday and it´s a masterpiece!! Beautiful, heavy, feels very solid (I missed ratchet joints at first but hoepfully these will hold)
Can´t see any issues, besides the V-fin looking like something that I will break sooner than later.I hope they add a spare one in the next releases. I would pay a few usd extras to have it in.
First 3rd party Gundam ever for me, and I must say that at first glance surpasses Bandai (I don´t have Metal builds but have all the Fix Metal Composites). Heavy, beautiul, even the stand is good. The Led gimmick is nice, and was not that hard to connect. Plus it uses normal AAA batteries instead of the watch-style ones that other brands use (ThreeZero)
It made me happy to see the names of the mecha designers written on the box.
I´ll buy the next releases for sure, if they are as good.
PS:
The base does have "worrior" on top (and Warrior on front), I don´t know which batch this is. Bought it on Ebay from china.

Just made an order for mine - very late order so it might be 2nd or later batch.
I remember Mo-show showed a teaser of their Buster Gundam not long ago. I hope that's another 1/72 scale instead of 1/100 scale as the Quanta.

Buster Gundam is another 1/72 scale They announced that scale of models as their "Metal Build Plus" line And for the 00Q 1/100 scale MoShow announced that line their "Metal Build Pro" |

Good to know!!! Thanks for the heads up. I've always liked long range heavy artillery Gundams like the Leopard, Heavyarms and Buster. At least the Aile Strike won't be alone at that scale.
I'm wondering if there are any plans to release additional variants such as the Sword or Launcher Strike, or even Strike Rouge or Strike Noir versions. Sounds like printing money.
