There are a lot of different Gundam lines! LOL Is this a officially sanctioned Bandai product? Is it a part of the Bandai Metal Build line? If it isn't will Bandai release one? LOL Yes, it is official Bandai. It's a sub-line of the Gundam Fix Figuration line with metal joints, just typically not as much as to justify it being a Metal Build, and (judging from the 5-6 GFFMCs I have) not as durable paint finishes or articulation compared to Metal Builds. But jeez, the price on this one...is in MB territory now. |

Maybe its a metal build but they have put it under the gffmc line cause its a katoki mech? Cause 27k for a gffmc is too much... One would only tell once someone has it inhand  |

So basically what drove up the price is the LED gimmick. New custom set of guns (classic ver is still there). The wing zero shield and the transformation gimmick. Honestly I would like to have it but that price is too steep. Unless GFFMC stepped up their build quality on this one then it might be quite finicky. Seeing all the support stands for the wings and new set of guns make it seem like the piece will have some issues long term unless its always supported.
I guess I'll hope for a KO version if that ever happens.
EDIT: It also has open part gimmicks. Jeez, really hope this figure is built well.

My issue with it however is that GFFMC is much more fragile than MBs so :X idk. |

I can't compare the line with MB because never own one, thinking about getting this, but I have same concerns, those wings looks heavy, and the wing binder might loosen badly overtime, because Metal Build suffers same issue |

Here's the video Bandai provided of the gimmicks: I think I could have done without the extra guns from the manga, but man I have a lot of nostalgia for Wing. link  |

damn, it's exclusive, I cant order from NY unless they provide purchase invoice/document, recent change in customs rule in my country been pain in the as* The customs been redlining every import stuffs, and checking everything in case of undervalue-ing which NY often do You can try anime-export.com or biginjapan ( ships by fedex) |

Is it confirmed that it has a LED Gimmick (Zero system gimmick) all I saw on the vid was open gimmick? (sorry if I've missed it)
I do believe Nippon will have this pay now as it is a P-Bandai exclusive

If its not a LED gimmick then the price is even more ridiculous.

Base on their pricing history of the line and this being an web exclusive (no discount) The msrp of 27000 is almost spot on. I would prefer it a normal release so i can get those preorder discounts. The msrp of the most recent Metal Composite Unicorn final battle ver is 27000. And its a mode that they milk for all its worth. sp.tamashii.jp/item/11386/?wovn=enWith the discounts and sales , that msrp of 27000 is long forgotten. |

Biginjapan MyKombini Loopaza Bandaionline ( not officiall bandai store) Us-p-bandai should carry it too but its only for usa and canada and their shipping is a flat rate. ( and all their item are limited 1 per customer) Theirs also proxy service like zenmarket and fromjapan |

Because its a web exclusive sometimes the stores will start selling before the official time. But it wont be ask crazy as normal releases.
Also if it gets sold out in a couple of hours , you should expect bandai to anounce another run within days.

So when Destiny gundam w/ WOL got announced, the POs were not that crazy? I was like at the party... The QanT was a normal release so its automatically crazy . The web exclusive Destiny gundam was exceptionally crazy since its one that many was waiting for . It crash the site and everything. But each time it sold out, Bandai went a announced another run. It ended up with 3 runs. The 3rd run lasted a long long time. |
