Just finished watching the first episode. It's basically a commercial for the sketchy real-life metaverse project, but that was kind of assumed going in. (Build Fighters wasn't hurt in the least by being a Gunpla commercial.) The animation looks great, as do the new characters. The Divers team seems aged down(?!?) from their initial appearance, which is weird because of how young they were to begin with. The suits are pretty standard for Build, doubly so since a lot of them are based off of legacy Build designs. Looking forward to a better look at the antagonist suit from the post credits scene.

In all, it's about what I've come to expect from Build. Let's see where it goes. If anyone has any thoughts or impressions, I'd love to hear them.

Also: AloHaro is life. That is all.

I was NOT expecting that. It's enormous. And gives me hope for a future standard Wodom (from Turn A, not the mini one from Build Divers). Link is to BBTS because that's where I caught the news. I don't see anything on Gundam.Info yet.

Edit: apparently this was announced last week and I'm blind

Not sure if any of it is new. Would love to get that MG Marasai but I know it's just going to sit in the backlog. Same with that awesomely audacious Age Magnum.

It's not often that PB actually has something listed that's in stock. Scrolling through, looks like there's both HG Qubeleys along with the Strike Dagger and option parts set if you want something to make the shipping charge (flat $10) sting less.

Even if you're not a fan of his review style (save some superlatives for the rest of us dude), the intro is worth watching. I was not expecting that.

What the hell happened to "put stuff up in batches once or twice a month"? This one kit at a time nonsense is irritating.

Up now for order, February 2024 delivery.

My last attempt to post didn't federate properly, let's see what happens this time.

Live now, don't recall seeing these earlier so I'm not sure when they went up.

That Hizack better be mostly new. $32 is steep for a 20+ year old HG.

e: I tried posting this last night but it doesn't look like it federated properly. The only place it's showing up is in my profile. Editing to see if that helps.

I'm really not looking forward to gunpla exclusives being gated behind this soulless corporate cheerleader fantasy.

I used to call this the McDonald's Grandpa... then they went ahead and made an official McDonald's/Big Mac Grandpa.

I've seen this pop up several times over the past few years. I don't get the appeal but apparently there's demand still for reprints. Also odd that it's one kit going up on a Saturday.
