it is at 600 yen so what do you expect?
plus SD is clearly aimed at kids, dont even need to use tool to assemble
only twist the part out from runners, assemble, put stickers, done!

stickers is for small detail part which cant get molded into separate part
the major part is already color molded
try compare '90 SD and currently SD, so much different
*
Yeah... go last thread see the runners photo I posted... doh.gif worse than those recent Build Fighter SD release....

kinda true that, inner frame can be fun at 1st but somehow pointless to me when i realise that i only fix a pose and then leave it as it is, and i never did once remove the parts to show the inner frames sweat.gif

Also, inner frame make it so heavy sometime the kits just don't stand still with the action base weak pegs
*
Inner Frame provide structural support and articulation hence the armor can be more detail and stylized...
That's why the way to go for MG is simplified inner frame like RG...

Bandai made themselves in awkward because then marketed inner frame details during v2.0 period... now when they simplified the frame, many people bitching about it... (see Hyaku Shiki v2.0)

I bought 2 VF-19 Advance before from mandarake one is SAL Small Packet and the other is DHL.

DHL: 3600 yen (umeda)
SAL Small Packet: 1820 (grandchaos)

I also VF-25S was shipped out of Nakano for 1420 yen using SAL Small Packet. These two DX chogokin have similar box dimension and weight.

Wow... Nakano is so much cheaper! Guess it's more worth to buy buy Nakano than local seller... flex.gif

gotl is Bandai main priority now with regards to wing, so yes i do believe gotl will be normal releases n ew in P-Bandai. Their backpacks should be slightly different.

While I hope it's true, but releasing variation in P Bandai before normal release? Seem unlikely...

Want to ask opinion on those who have owned gundam from Metal Build Series.

I used to own a Metal Build Freedom. I quite love it... The proportion, weight and tight joints give that really good satisfaction when handling the kit. But in the end I sold it... to fund for other hobby. A little bit miss it to be honest.

The kit isn't perfect though.. First it is expensive. 2nd the paint job on my freedom isn't excellent in my opinion.. I saw people comment the paintjob isnt up to the standard of the earlier metal build 00raiser.

I saw they are coming out with Strike Freedom end of the year, and I am still deciding want to pick one up or not. My concern is... how is the paint job/quality control in the recent Metal build release: exia, destiny, astray? Has the quality improve or getting worse? can anyone who owned any of these give some quick review? This isnt cheap ... so have to really make good consideration before pulling the trigger. somemore with bad RM to USD rate... not sure if it will exceed rm1k... at release.
*
Freedom is the weakest link in MB line... I believe they tried cheaper supplier and became a disaster..
MB Destiny & MB Astray Gold are superb piece of art. thumbup.gif
but being finished product, there will still be defectives, but far less frequent than MB Freedom...

Highly recommend you to pre-order one if you really interested as the price gonna soar exponentially like USD to MYR currency... (see MB Destiny)

If MB freedom is the worse of all... then I think is worth buying the Strike freedom.. Problem is everywhere also preorder sold out. And the price is about rm 900-1000... I bought MB freedom for less than rm 600 if I remember correctly.
*
it's not jacked up by local seller... MB Freedom launched at 16,000JPY, but MB Strike Freedom will launch at 27,000JPY ...
the series is selling like hot cakes and B-firm up the price every release.... ohmy.gif

yea... it's the most wanted Strike fucking Freedom... good luck securing a unit... sweat.gif

i wonder if this is the actual runner color, the official photo has white beam saber while this show as grey and the obvious white palm make me feel like it's not painted for preview.  What worrying me is that the psycho frame will be stickers instead of seperate part sad.gif

100% sure will be foil sticker... inspect SDEX Strike up close at JS-Hobby the other day, most colour separation are using stickers.

bandai need to snap the hell out of pbandai here and there or ppl would lose interest.

I said that I'll give up P-Bandai everytime but still ended up buying them.. doh.gif

So ex standard actually 1 grade lower than sd bb senshi?
The unicorn bb senshi give clear red part, why oh why bandai sad.gif

p.s: i notice the hand joint there has some red, really hope they give red parts for the frame, the leg frame seems to be stickers tho, and the feet seems to have white stickers too

BB Ssenshi Unicorn is 1000yen, SD-EX will be 600yen... blink.gif

It6 feels like a cost down line-up than an upgrade...

here is the straight built without sticker from 78dm forum... biggrin.gif
