Robots are stupid.
>one of my favorite gundam get a MRD>25000+14% tarrif+ shippingIs it really worth nearly 29k?Only MRD i ever bought was huckbein 20th which was just a retool of the old ver ka metal line+ a few guns so I dont think that is a good indicator.
>>11666874bro a few days ago I got in buyee a MB Crossbone X-3 for 26k yen + 7k yen for shippingimo, the prices of the MRD line are unreasonable at this point
>>11666882>bro a few days ago I got in buyee a MB Crossbone X-3 for 26k yen + 7k yen for shippingI dunno man youre talking to a fucking retard who bought x0/x1 FC MB despite thinking that the Xbones arent great MB due to how skiny/flimsy they feel.Honestly the huckbein 30th was overpriced for its time too, I just wanted a huckbein figure but now I have like 4 of them because bandai cant stop releasing them.
>>11666867No u
>>11666874>>11666882Just wait a month or 2 after they come out. These figures always end up getting liker a 20-40% markdown on sites like ebay and amazon.I recently got a yf-21 for $220. Anywhere else it's like $300+
>>11666867Not as stupid as you!
>>11666867shut the fuck up
>>11664142What caused these threads to fall off like this.
>>11667355Next to no releases, and all of them being pbandai doesn't help.
>>11667355The fucking things costs a shitton now.
>>11667355Releases basically dried upPrices went stupidThe changes the mods made to /toy/ due to spammers resulting in quiet threads falling off faster than they used to.
Kino incoming.
>>11666867Robots Don't Know
>>11667513Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice?
>>11667355- minimal new releases- of those, almost all of them are pbandai- crazy price increases, any MRD nowdays costs over 30k yen, which was the average price of a Metal Build just a few years ago- incredibly, no other competitors, at least in the 144 scale. No one else besides Bandai makes mecha figures at this size. 1/100 and bigger scales have many other chinese companies but the smaller stuff is prey to a monopoly>>11667515wonder who that is
>>11667592Yeah I’ve largely given up on this line thanks to how it’s been treated lately and just buy those larger robot toys instead these days like riobot, pose+, the gattai, etc. But they don’t ever get much discussion here, a lot of them are too expensive for other anons and they mostly just do the hero mechs so you lose a lot of the variety you get at this scale.
>>11667513>chogokinoh it will be fucking huge right?
Would any euro anon be interested in ayre ? I bought her on release, opened the box to check contents then proceeded to never do anything. The box has been sitting next to me for more than a year. Was going to put up a listing on vinted for 120 euros but figured I'd ask here first. Don't want to post on /bst/ for a single figure
>>11666867M-MOM?
>>11666882about that, it is finally here, the one I was missing to complete the original trioit is not perfect sadly, what really irks me is that instead of giving you the effect parts of the I Fields, you know, the MAIN defense feature of this suit, you are stuck with the big chunk of plastic of the Elegorelawhile I do appreciate its inclusion to recreate the scene in the manga, the fact Bandai blatantly neglected to give those effect parts and sold them exclusively in the Patchwork, probably the most bare bones MB release of the crossbones, is inexcusable, not to mention fucking Ebikawa found a way to slip in outside the 00 releases
>>11667513either a brand new transforming EX-S or the old S-Gundam "Alice Activation ver." with red eyes, no in-bewteen
>>11668066EX-S with Alice eyes.It's strange they're calling this [Re:Coordinate] too, I thought that was just for the Gundam SEED designs because they have coordinators in that show. I guess this is just the new subline for repaints
>>11668116so it is just a repaint with red eyes? not even a LED? and why is there the Chogokin logo then? >>11667513
>>11668116lol
>>11668119MRD branding started having it a bit ago.
>>11668116>just a new head piecelazy fucksthey're out of ideas
>>11668116>More Sentinel slopJesus christ
>>11668116is this the same mold of the wat? 2015 release? holy shit
>>11668116I was hoping for a Ka Signature Xeku-eins. I hope it still happens.
Uh, okay?
>>11668778>defend this
>>11668782I looked at my day 1 MetalRD 2 tone Ex-S and asked if he wanted light up eyes and he said no.
>>11668782I’m not actually defending this, but at the very least this is a reprint of a figure for those who may have missed out on the original run. That’s all I got though. Of course this comes at the increased cost of current pricing for RDs, so it’s a full 10k Yen more expensive than the original release…
>>11669363>this is a reprint of a figure for those who may have missed out on the original runExactly, there is no reason to bitch about this if you have a 80 IQ level understanding of business. The original release sold good, mint copies are going for way higher now, so Bandai reprints it.Oh boo hoo, they released this instead of the thing you wanted. That's life, bitch.
soooo any upcoming cool robot you are interested in for this year?

>>11670350This guy was a day one preorder for me
>>11670350Also this is more 1:18th general but I'm so happy about the Microman revival. They have their own actual mecha too and I'm so excited for Robotman.
