K...so, I'm reading in here that I can order this puppy from Bandai's Tamashii site? And it likely won't be an e-street-fight? Sweet...and whew.

A few possible ways to get this as of Aug 23rd:
1) If you live in Japan, order from the P-Bandai Japan website on 25th. You can also use your trusted proxy middleman service.
2) You can also get it from sites like Nippon-Yasan that sells P-Bandai products at a slight premium, I am guessing another 3000 yen plus shipping. But N-Y may be sold out quickly.
3) If you live in Hong Kong or Taiwan, those P-Bandai local websites *should* have it "soon".
4) If you live in America, P-Bandai America *should* have it "soon", too.
5) A Blufin miracle! This would be my dream. I have seen Blufin makes Dragon Ball figures that are P-Bandai exclusives available as regular products for US-sellers. Given the popularity of Wing Gundam in the US, this is a miracle but not impossible.
I will try to update this once I learn more.

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. You know your stuff bro! Thanks! Also, as a web exclusive - its pay upfront right? Unfortunately, web exclusive are upfront payment unless you have connections in japan. |

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. That QANT experience was crazy man! seriously! So when Destiny gundam w/ WOL got announced, the POs were not that crazy? I was late at the party... There were alot of destiny's laying around mostly during the 13s original run. Think it started selling out after the whole WoL got introduced so people wanted to get a set. I've got to say that that MSRP is still bs. Even if the older GFFMC stuff was around there we can still take a look around any store and its still abundant and mostly marked down to USD180 or even lower. Either the production run is actually significantly higher than MBs or its just doesn't sell (most likely the case). Making it web exclusive only justifies their old MSRP that no one follows and simply not worth the asking price. |

Bluefin posted on their social media accounts Wing Zero's US ordering information will be coming soon. A good chance this will be available at domestic retailers for retail price.

As cool as it may seem coming out to over 300k jpy is just too much for a 1/100 gundam figure. If it was 1/60 like Mo Shows stuff then it'll be fine. I now now know what those gunpla builders who deal with P-bandai kits feel...
Honestly I think this is why they're releasing both GFFMC wing AND the HiRez model. Promoting the cheaper alternative that actually costs them less to produce...

Not to mention the questionable BANDAI QC, I don't want to pay so much then regret it due to poor QC, which I had with MB Strike Freedom & ARX-8. Now I'm thinking the Hi-Resolution is safer choice |
