hi, newbie here. Is bandai online ok to pre-order? what are your experience with it? Per the post earlier, they not affiliated with Bandai. But, they are reputable. Do a search on the forum as well, this has been posted before if you would like additional references. |

Thanks. If you don't mind, would you be able to link the reference? It's sitting on my cart right now and contemplating on the shippin method. EMS is at 50 USD, while the regular shipping is at 20 USD. Any advice? Im about 80% pulling the trigger  |

oh sorry to hear that, what QC issue did you had with your MB SF? Playing the waiting game and see if I can PO from other sites My Arx7 has bubble like paint on its shoulder, loose hip joint straight out of box MB strike freedom, loose wings and there's silver paint stuck at the freedom's mouth piece. hmm, that sounds like you had some really bad luck. My Arx7 was great when I first got it (accidentally scratched the front of the box cuz the way they packed it was a tight fit with the box) and I don't even know how that issue of yours would've happened. Haven't opened my MB strike freedom so no idea but other than that almost everything I got from them were great. Only real concern I had was MB freedom as it was infamous for its first batch having some pretty messed up QC (the notorious cracked head one). I'm still going to be on the boat saying that this is still too damn expensive. If it was the MB line which is known to have better diecast parts then maybe. HiRez honestly seems interesting (not my taste really in terms of its redesign) but I don't think its worth it for what you get. |

Thanks F360. I'm just trying to secure it, as I am having good luck on some of the pre-orders lately. Managed to secure HLJ prices on the MB Qant and HRM Wing-0. Thank you also for the link last July, it went smoothly when I ordered the Qant. |

Just out of curiousity Most likely I won't get it from them, 300 USD + 45 on shipping, is just meh..I'll wait for the other ones to open up |

hi, newbie here. Is bandai online ok to pre-order? what are your experience with it? Welcome to the boards! I like your avatar! thanks, much appreciated. been collecting die-cast gundams, I was monitoring the board and got some good leads on some that I was missing. I am on the look out for the gx-31 40th and gx-43... They are a little bit crazy on the price though right now, would love some info on where to get some reasonable price on those when the time comes. Love your avatar as well, I have the gx-71 and the KOB, their awesome! |

Oh...so Bluefin (regular US sellers) doesn't have it after all?? Booooo I haven't seen anyone put up US orders yet, I'm hoping that will change. However on the USA bandai premium website does anyone know how much they generally charge for shipping? Is it really $40 for shipping? Well after reading their site, it's typically $33 for shipping to the US |
