Well the video said this was limited.
I’d be happy with Gunpla PG version instead.

Thanks for posting this video! This answered lot of my questions because I was planning on buying this too. But I see major flaw with this even though I don’t understand what he’s saying but I’m sure he’s referring to neck joint. The head can’t look up?!! Tetsujin needs to be able to look horizontally when flying! Like articulating fingers. What’s up with hips seems like it can stand on its own very well. The hip joints seem very unstable. I see that table surface isn’t firm though so doesn’t help. This reminds me kind of Blue Ideon can’t stand well on its own or just one or two poses. |

Bbts sold out! With funnels and unknown shipping costs this is probably going to be in $1100-$1200 total range if you want complete set. I know Grendizer is coming along eventually I’ll just get that instead.

That is one big dude! Why is shipping so expensive!!! Urgh. I agree that ET color looks more reminiscent of the show, despite the color on the show being all over the place. I still haven’t opened mine. So how much was shipping? I’m curious about hands and accessories. |

a friend of mine on Instagram posted this
according to my friend the figure weight about 2.6 KG
and he mentioned some this with the legs but i didnt understand his point
Yeah ET Blue is more accurate. The AT is bright more like SOC Is that how high arms can go up at shoulder joint? I assume it can go straight up like it’s flying right? What about the head does it look up? I’m curious what else accessories it has too. |

My point is people are willing to pay almost $1,000 for an item. Bandai is King of Reissues. They are perfectly aware what is hot and make more. Definitely there are. At least, the hulkbuster wasn't gonna be released in 6 months. People had time to save up for it and some can opt for installment payments set for months. That came out a bit more budget friendly compared to this. Yeah you make good point about installments plans. Bandai should do that. I remember I could have done that with HB but I stop buying Hot Toys Iron Man. |

Trust me there are some rich collectors out there. Spending over $1,000 or more on robot isn’t new don’t get into vintage if you think these prices are high. These prices will be norm in the future. See what happened to Hulkbuster Hot Toys it was listed at around same price sold out easily couple years back. The hulkbuster didn't really sell out in less than an hour. It was up or quite some time (months maybe even) but then again, that's how SS/HT do their pre-orders which I think how Bandai should handle their pre-orders. I'm not saying leaving it open for months but maybe at the least up to 48 hours. My point is people are willing to pay almost $1,000 for an item. Bandai is King of Reissues. They are perfectly aware what is hot and make more. |

Ah I’ve been wondering when this was going to be released. Not suprise it will sell out fast. There are collectors out there who shell out money easily who keep to themselves. Remember there some Crazy Rich Asians out there! You know they buy expensive houses in cash! I see it all the time. Damn I’m tempted to buy it but that’s new line that would take years or decades to develop more mobile suits. I just bought all PG Gundams past couple of months too and glad I didn’t have wait 20 years to develop just over 15 Gundams. I can’t see myself waiting every 2-3 years for new release it would drive me crazy. If u really wanted it, and willing to pay for the price, I'm sure BANDAI will more than happy to fullfill it.  They love your money. New Metal Structure every year? why not?
I'm so grateful this Metal Structure line scale is 1/60, not 1/72. 
This line is like DX for metal build, usually like 2 years for releases. It took least 2 years from Gundam Nu prototype display to finally listing for sale. Going to take some time to develop each one. I believe it says it takes 2,000 pieces to make this. I’d prefer to build it for lesser price myself. I was thinking that while building out my PGs. That be cool if diecast pieces. Yeah I have 1/72 which I like and “cheap” in price. I’m just glad I didn’t buy into 1/100 Metal builds, don’t have any of those anymore. 😀 |

22cm... don't know if it will scale well with my collection. I hate being so picky sometimes... Same here majority of my collection is non 1/100. Sold my Konami GL because it just didn’t fit with my collection. |

Just got mine today. I don’t have another robot Albegas to compare too. Just Godaikin ship one.
I didn’t have problem with mine considering I was kind of forcing or man handling my Albegas.
Instructions black and white kind of lame.
It’s smaller than I thought around 10inches
Nothing falls apart on mine. Articulated fingers except the thumb.

Mine just shipped yesterday. Looking forward to it considering I haven’t had new Chogokin since January!!
I’ve been busy building all the PG Gundams. 😂
I’m not into 1/100 or ST scale, just couple shelves of them. So yeah looking forward to big diecast super robot!

Yeah I was about to go with NY too then noticed it was similar to price to bbts. bbts is charging tax now. Only reason I decided to stay with bbts is return policy in case I get bad cyclone since these had some previous QC issues.
