I always wished we could've gotten an MRD for the Original Lancelot, I like that design more than the Albion.
It's a shame that it keeps getting ignored for the Albion in every figure line. HG, MB, and MRD all passed on the Lancelot.
All we have are the outdated RD from like 2010 and the old HG.

>>10979223
We got the Lancelot Air Calvary from 2017.

>>10979235
Have him and he’s great. I did crack his left shoulder because I was a dumbass and thought the Robot Spirits Sutherland arm would be compatible but turns out that it must be for the MSIA or old RD release cause that shit split the ball housing wide open.

Thanks, just had a little time taking out his contributions to the collection, and having some fun playing around with them this past weekend. Went as far back as my Space Leos apparently, one of the ones that were purging dented boxes way back when; then egging on some of the others in their circle of friends later on.
Gonna make a trip out this summer if I can, check up(like I can do a whole lot though...) on the middleman that while not-showing is wrecked with this friend gone. See some spots recommended.

In the meantime got to imagine the What-If of two extra Kampfers deployed for OP Rubicon.


Also for Macross owners here, did the Hi-Metal VF-0D turn out okay? Noticed it's available on Amazon and considering it again lately.

>>10979335
Yeah IDK the instructions even mention it and I cracked the ball joint trying to get the Sutherland’s arm in, no idea what the deal is but I don’t recommend going for it. Still haven’t picked up a replacement copy.

New metal zeta coming out tomorrow.

Some time last year I posted here about how I was trying to get a replacement body for my Devise Exia which was defective.

Finally received it today after a year+ wait.
I was expecting them to just send the body, but they actually sent me another whole copy of the Devise Exia.
So now I have an extra set of Devise Exia accessories.
Almost makes up for the absurdly long wait time

The MB Exia had a weird construction where it's arm is connected to the torso by a plastic hinge on the back. Mine broke so I had to get a replacement. The first one they sent out never made it to me, and I just got the second today.

Now I got an extra batch of Devise Exia accessories I don't plan on using. So I might try and just sell them off or trade them for other accessories.

>>10985680

>>10989150
Voltes V from the live action show they made in Flipland. Think there's a Daimos one getting made too.

>>10989073
There’s a reason the stand adaptor comes with support structure for the wings, even if it limits them to a single pose. The MRD WoL are heavy as shit too, hell I couldn’t even get the top pair to lock in properly, they were just held in by gravity (could be user error but I’m too lazy to try and set it up again). At least with the Destiny the WoL are only really arranged in a single position in the anime and it’s just how parallel the wings are with the body that changes.

So I preordered the Gundam Universe Red Frame Astray because I really like the design.

Are there any other GU figure worth spending money on? Thinking about getting the GP-01 Full Burnern one.

Stuck deciding between metal build Dynames or Kampfer as my first one, since they both look very pretty
Dynames price seem stable after a year but Kampfer’s seems like it already spiked already…

The spirits aoz figs worth it? I was going to do the model kits, but the hg woundwort and base hazel are really shit kits. Also the gee drei worth the aftermarket now?

>>10991337

Looks nothing like a Gundam. Much closer to something from the Braves series.

>>10991440
I’ve heard good things but they’re all P-Bandai so good luck. Supposedly the Titans colors version of the Hazel and Hrududu shipped out recently but I’ve found zero in-hand shots of them anywhere.

>>10991424
>Stuck deciding between metal build Dynames or Kampfer
Get the Kampfer if you can find it for a good price. Dynames is cool too (especially the R3) but it's pretty similar to the MG design that I wouldn't feel too bad missing out on it.

Here’s some reviews for the Titans color Hazel and Hrududu.

I have them all so far, and waiting for my Titans colors Hazel and Hrududu to ship. They’re great figures of the designs if you don’t mind the price. I definitely prefer them over the HGs. Might be a little tough to snag these days, but you can always check Mandarake. I know the regular Hazel had a few listings up the other day.

My only warning for Woundwort, if you get one, is to be careful with placing the Composite Shield Booster in its hand. It had these odd blocks on the inside of the handle that stressed the hand a bit. But the one included with the Hrududu II didn’t have them, so that one can be held fine. Other than that one minor gripe though, the figure is still amazing.

Seeing Haze’n-thley teased was a nice surprise, and I hope they continue making MRDs of at least a few more AoZ designs.

Good news my MB SF is alive. I'd be happy to say that I was being a retard panicking about it all but then what would be the explanation for the indemnity inquiries that I was never informed of ? And what about customs telling me that the package was cleared in customs as an answer to my first mail then that it never even was in customs after my second mail ? It's also the third parcel from amiami I get this year with missing customs documents

>>10992456
I'm not paying the import fees just yet because shit can still happen. I'd like to know what truly happened with this package, was it just "lost" in a dark corner of a warehouse until somebody saw it ? Who made 2 indemnity inquiries ? Was the online tracking tampered with ? Why did customs not handle it until today despite it being in the country since march 30th (passing through customs is the first thing that happens with international parcels) ? Did someone attempt to steal it and put it back ? Was my shitting and screaming to many services effective ? I'm glad it finally resurfaced, but I may never know what the hell happened with it

>It's also the third parcel from amiami I get this year with missing customs documents
They used to have a single sheet with all the customs AND delivery informations (so it was impossible for the customs part to be missing). Did they change that? It didn't prevent some occurences of lazzy ass custom officers not even looking at the fucking informations though.

>>10992620
It's still a single sheet. I had an issue with another package where it was marked as return to sender because the address was incorrect, despite the dude showing up in front my house, but no one was here to get the delivery. The problem occured because the machines they use for scanning packages didn't recognize the address. The guy who helped me with that issue at the local post office had a similar problem with an international package of his, and I've seen at least one anon from EU on the buyf/a/g thread complain about something similar

I only have the Dynames between them and it's one of my favorite figs, but the Kampfer is definitely going to be one of the more expensive on the aftermarket. Dynames has been steady for a while, I agree with the other anon and just go for the Kampfer. The price will feel a bit better with the weaker yen right now, and you can get Dynames for a more normal price still within a year.

I have the regular versions of unit 1 and 2/3. The one big issue is the ankles are very limited so you can only spread the legs so much and still have both feet flat on the ground. Personally not a huge deal for me but if you’re the type to pose stuff really dynamically you will need to use the stand. Otherwise they are some of the best toys in the price range you can buy.

Sometimes it feels like the Metal Build line is really Ebikawa's because he's using it to play around with all these original designs.
Even the Dynames SAGA he supervised apparently.
I wish we could get stuff like this from some of the other designers and series in the MB line.
I would totally love to see some kind of "tacticool" reimagining of the Strike

>>10998848
>"tacticool" reimagining of the Strike
that's the strike noir

>>10998902
True, that wasn't the best example, what I meant was to see original designs outside of just the 00 MB line.
Like how the did the Exia R3, R4, and Dynames R III, Astraea II, etc.
All the SEED stuff has been designs which were already in canon. Would be cool to see something new. Doesn't even have to be SEED, I'd take the same thing from MB Code Geass or FMP

>>10998907
>Exia R3, R4, and Dynames R III

This, Astraea Type X and the new Dynames SAGA are original MB designs. Some of the 00 weapon loadouts were also new.
