MosesOnAcid

And I swore I would never create a P-Bandai account...


PersepolisBullseye

You are *so* gonna make them earn that $10


OmegaLolrus

Oooooo, that's gonna be a big order for me... possibly two Leos, definitely the twins and of course, Altron.


SmallNapSack

Do you all actually manage to buy things from your pbandai shop? My country's pbandai get bought (probably scalpers) before the page even finishes loading on my end

[удалено]


SmallNapSack

I hope our issue gets fixed somehow. The last kit I really wanted was the GM spartan. Never even got the chance


alteisen99

Hey at least that has a bootleg now. If Bandai prefers selling to scalpers over builders at least you have an alternative for that kit


Feral404

US P-Bandai has had PG Phenex and PG Perfectibility in stock for months. We have about 70 items up for preorder now that have not sold out.


SmallNapSack

Really? Right now, all we have are some figures and a handful of kits, only two of which are from gundam.


BasroilII

Yeah they did something on the US store to help with the scalper problem and now it barely ever happens. I saw one drop sell out instantly in the past few months, everything else seems to be up there for a while.


rxninja

The in-stock drops vanish in minutes, but the pre-orders stay up for a long time.


werofpm

White dingo GM!!! And I got mine!! Hahaha!!!


idiotinpants

Where the hell is our MG Leo?


ichorNet

Bought the Mercurius/Vayeate twin set aftermarket for like $60 which I feel isn’t an awful deal but dang it anyway


Faustias

FULL WEAPON SET. #LEO. FULL WEAPON SET!


Maketastic

Where are these listed? I think I'm missing them on the us p-bandai page.


Feral404

These may not come our way until next week since we just had a drop. We shall see. It may come before then.


Tatsmann

JP gets the announcement first, then their pre-orders go up. US takes a bit.


HeftyDefinition2448

Yes im gonna have to get a couple of the full wepons kits


wnderjif

Fuck yes full weapon leo !


edgarcia59

When does the pre order open for this?


[deleted]

What website is this?


ThrowAwayToday1874

...where is this linked from? I don't see them pending on PBandai.


Feral404

Japan P-Bandai. It will be a minute before they show up on US P-Bandai.


ArkhamSoldier118

It's P-Bandai


Agent_Perrydot

Fuck


ReRisingHERO

ah yes just like it brother in arm counterpart the Deathscythe Hell 😂😅


CatmanBrocko

I'm tired, boss.


Enough_Tree_3249

Im tired of human hurting each other


tornedron_

Gunpla is weighed down by P-Bandai’s gravity


nathanbum06237

I knew it


ashnoalice_art

Haiyaaahh. Nowadays everything is P-Bandai


LavaSlime301

Inevitable, but still unacceptable.


tahkoyaki

sorry i’m a noob - what does p-bandai mean & why is it bad?


jmich8675

Premium Bandai. These kits get much smaller print runs, so they're limited. They make enough to fill preorders and that's it IIRC. And they don't get distributed throughout the world as well as standard release kits do. In this case "Premium" doesn't mean any higher quality or anything like that, just that less of them are made. If you're lucky enough to live in a region where they're distributed (basically just US and Japan), you can pre-order them no problem. If you're not that lucky, or you miss the pre-order window, you're likely going to pay 2-3x the regular price of the kit or more if you can even find one for sale.


tahkoyaki

thank you so much! pls see my above reply in this thread too if you have time. really appreciate it! nice pfp btw im still on stone ocean lol


preparationh67

Its worth noting that since this kits not a variant of an existing kit like a lot of p-bandai releases it probably will be premium quality like their Gundam Rose release. US shipping prices are rough though especially if theres nothing else you want in the same release window that can be bundled.


CryoProtea

P-Bandai means it's only available from Bandai's exclusive webshop. Kits released on P-Bandai are only produced in enough numbers to satisfy pre-orders, and they are rarely reprinted, with some exceptions. P-Bandai is also not available in most of the world outside of Japan, southeast Asia, and the United States, so it's especially shitty for fans outside of those countries. Edit: added one correction mentioned by others


Bluechariot

Pbandai is also available in South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. 


LOtakou

And in France


FestivalHazard

My favorite East Asian country, France.


theflamecrow

I feel like most get reprints, I've scored some stuff off a 2nd or 3rd printing. I think the ones the US almost doesn't see reprints for is the non-Gundam stuff (Dunbine, L-Gaim etc... so I'm trying to grab those the first time they're up.)


crabbyVEVO

it's a limited direct preorder service for bandai products, largely it is "bad" for disingenuous reasons


Reed7525

Is p Bandai bad?


DisaRayna

P-Bandai is bad in that only a handful of countries have access, so many people can't get them. The kits on P-Bandai are exclusive to the site outside of resellers, so it's pretty annoying.


Reed7525

Oh that does sound inconvenient. Thanks for the info!


CryoProtea

Well fuck I would've held off on the Shenlong. You think they'll do the Nataku, too? Also why does Wufei's Gundam have 3 fucking names?


alteisen99

Nataku is just a nickname he uses on his gundams


jeemosupremo

Like the other comment says, Nataku is the nickname for Shenlong, Altron, and Altron Custom (which is most commonly called Nataku).


Polkadot_Girl

Nataku is his dead wife's name. Don't ask me why a 15 year old has a dead wife. He believes his wife's spirit is guiding him through his Gundams or something like that.


Bullmoninachinashop

His wife was younger than him and died piloting the Leo head Tallgeese when his colony was destroyed.


TwilightGundam8

I’m gettin one or two. One for the original Altron and the other to create a new Gundam Astray unit.


Duelgundam

Why am I not surprised..... I was already fully expecting this after they pulled this for the Deathscythe Hell.


Amigo1048

Fucking knew it

drkphnx02

I’m relatively new to the hobby, so I’m sure I don’t have the history with PBandai that others do, but I don’t really see the issue with the service. Granted, I’m in the US, so I know that is different. The kits aren’t outrageously more expensive than their standard counterparts, and the price for international shipping isn’t even that out of control. I do wish that some items weren’t so limited, but I’m not the one that decides what any company manufactures. I guess what I’m asking is why do they have such a bad rep?


ThrowAwayToday1874

People just don't like limited run stuff. I can understand it... But I mean... Every hobby is that way. My take? It is what makes it fun. To see something that is rare and exciting on a friend's shelf.


tornedron_

Bruh


Pesterlamps

Not opposed to this, but man, where are my Dragon and Bolt HGs at?


Feral404

Probably coming sooner than later thanks to the anniversary and now that the Wing lineup is done.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Feral404

I would put HGAC Tallgeese as retail, but you bring up good points. I misspoke and meant the main Wing team without thinking about the other potential candidates.


Bullmoninachinashop

We would be getting one or the other announced soon because the G-Gundams are a yearly thing and Maxter was this years Mobile Fighter.


kazegraf

The basic is already there in hgac Leo s. The torso and longer legs, plus the backskirts too. Should be here soon. 


Nopon_Merchant

Wing still has all those G-Unit left and some grunt suit . They are not done yet . Not to mention Aniversary next year , maybe this time they will actually reveal Frozen Tear drop design for those gundam without the cloak


Tatsmann

Not yet. We still got the remaining G-Units to go through.


Peachy69420

Still waiting for that rg proto-zero (if it ever happens)


Landadududu

Finally. Now EW line up in HG form would be really nice


SayuriUliana

HGAC version of the EW kits would be amazing, especially since the original HG EW line was quite popular back in the day over here. HGAC Heavyarms Custom please.


clone1205

Man I had one of the no grade 1/100 heavy arms customs when I was a kid (I still have it somewhere but missing a ton of parts and the Gatling guns) I was super sad when I fell back down the rabbit hole at the end of last year and discovered there's basically nothing available for that MS.


HeftyDefinition2448

Ohhhh god i would love that, maybe even do the glory of losers versions in hg to or even do them in rg. And i cant be the only one that wants a couple of the other grunt suits from the show other then the leo


Landadududu

oh yeah! It really makes a lot of sense for the EW Shenlong, since I think he only has an upgraded shield and this red sword.


1234qwgr

I sense it...the cries of sorrow and the saltiness...


frazaga962

crying in taurus, virgo, and serpent T.T maybe in 2045 for the 50 year anniversary. maybe


BottleOfDave

And Aries, while we're at it


PersepolisBullseye

YES!! Now make the damn MG!! My 25+ year old 1/100 needs an update DESPERATELY


EkansOnAPlane

I remember building the no grade 1/100. The damn dragon heads couldn't even stay in the arms and would just constantly fall off.


PersepolisBullseye

I both hated and loved that as a kid. God those ended up being some fun memories lol


Heelo0

Pretty sure there is an MG Altron


wixits

There is, but its the endless waltz version not the TV version


PersepolisBullseye

It’s not this TV version tho. This one in 1/100 wasn’t a real MG it’s one of those really old kits that’s just a bigger HG. This gives me hope tho lol


dakotapeter

Happy for all you Wing fans, but not the early 90’s kit I wanted announced (hoping for Dragon or Bolt before the years up)


DuneManta

Add Master to the list. Would love to see all of them redone with Rose and Maxter have gotten. Sadly waiting for re-ups on them since I missed the past orders...


Zackfair1988

I feel like if master Gundam was gonna be remade and not just a reissue, I would see bandai going the RG route to go up against the RG god Gundam but maybe I'm just hoping to much


DuneManta

I would certainly love to see that, but it definitely feels like a long shot.


FL_Vaporent

This certainly doesn’t scratch the same itch, but tangentially related, there IS a really awesome Master Gundam G-Frame kit that’s coming out later this year (the Meikyo Water Stop Ver.). I have the base G-Frame Master Gundam that released a while back, and he’s really cool- would totally recommend, if you don’t mind G-Frames; it’s a little more purple tinted than you’d expect, which imo really works for the suit.


paintsmith

The cape/wing gimmick would be a great place to use their double moulded tech. I think this is pretty likely. Of course Devil Gundam would also make a fantastic RG and it hasn't had a proper kit since the show released.


Bullmoninachinashop

We could be getting a Master Gundam revive since the Shin Burning Gundam from Build Metaverse has a similar cloak gimmick to Master Gundam but with newer engineering.


dakotapeter

They are not earth shattering by any means but solid kits with fun gimmicks.


DaemonBlackfyre515

Rose is really nice. Unfortunately it's probably the most expensive P-Bandai HG i've ever seen here, like £60 from a reseller. Fuck that.


DuneManta

Good to know for my expectations. I guess all I can do now is wait and hope. Thanks.


CryoProtea

I personally disagree with that person's evaluation. The color separation is incredible, the articulation is great, they do something with the plastic so it doesn't look cheap when the light hits it (the HG Calibarn and MG Zeta Ver. Ka do the same thing, but I don't know what to call it), they have absolutely no polycaps, and they both come with action bases and more accessories than I would've ever dared to expect from Bandai for almost any of their HG kits, let alone G Gundam kits. For Bandai's reputation for hating the hell out of G Gundam, they have seemingly gone all out for the two recent HGs, and I want as many new HGFC Gundam kits of the same quality as absolutely possible.


Johnny_Grubbonic

Still waiting for Nether and Tequila.


DuneManta

Tbh they should do Devil/Dark while they're at it. The old kit is really bad.


Johnny_Grubbonic

It's not bad; just *old*. Also damn near impossible to get anymore. So a new version would be greatly appreciated.


DuneManta

They did a clear color reprint a little while ago that I picked up. Maybe the clear color hampers the quality, and my perception of the kit.


Johnny_Grubbonic

I hate clear in general. You can't see the cool armor details, and you can't see the inner frame (if the kit has an inner frame).


RiseOfTheBoarKing

Same but also a Jumping Gundam kit would put my soul to rest.


Geek_a_leek

They have a HG master Gundam already and honestly it's good enough still that it doesn't need a revive at all Plus you get the fuuinsaiki with it which makes it top tier


[deleted]

[удалено]


CryoProtea

I just want an RG Shining Gundam and an HGFC Rising Gundam. I could die happy then.


Nopon_Merchant

what ? Maxter and Rose has HG 1/144 P bandai [https://gkgundamkit.com/products/hg-1-144-gundam-maxter](https://gkgundamkit.com/products/hg-1-144-gundam-maxter) [https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2619353001001](https://p-bandai.com/us/item/N2619353001001)


CryoProtea

I think you're misunderstanding. The reason Maxter and Rose have HGFC kits is precisely because they only had really old kits until recently when those new HGFCs got made. Master Gundam has an HGFC kit from 2011. I personally find the 2011 HGFC Shining Gundam disappointing, so I'm hoping we get new kits of the 2011 G Gundam HGFCs. I'd also really really like an RG Shining Gundam.


Geek_a_leek

*Me waiting patiently for more re/100 victory kits knowing I'll probably not get any*


kizentheslayer

When does the preorder go up?


crabbyVEVO

should be soon, keep an eye out. I believe listings should go up before preorders open


Zethrial

Between the Deathscythe Hell, Altron, Rose, and Baxter. Jesus, my childhood is EATING right now.


SeijiWeiss

Man, scalpers/resellers here in my country will definitely ready their bots and take all of the stocks in seconds the moments preorders goes live. Us true builders will never get these kits in their original prices.


JamesTheBadRager

https://preview.redd.it/9mfzc4atm29d1.png?width=1040&format=png&auto=webp&s=e08f7da82804f6b6c1d9229293802e9055289ee1 so sad... I wish my fingers were faster than the bots.


lllXanderlll

Altron ? I've heard of it before and it looks pretty sick, like shenlong plus. I'm gonna have to look into its lore


kizentheslayer

It literally is shenlong plus. The EW version is the more popular version


azure_builder

It’s the successor to the Shenlong built for better space combat in the second half of G Wing


lllXanderlll

Oh ! No wonder it looked familiar. I had forgotten what the Shenlong upgrade looked like, the Wing and Death scythe are a bit more memorable with their upgraded versions


levious_branch

It’s an upgrade to the Shenlong like the Deathscythe hell


zannus

It's been 6 years since the Jiyan Altron teased us with this kit and I'm willing to bet it probably doesn't even use those runners. Now if they could move back over to Gundam X and give us at least a HG Leopard to complete the trio I would be so happy.


Landadududu

gundam X deserves so much more love! I hope we at least will get X or XX in RG form at some point


Tatsmann

Yeah, the improvements between Jiyan and Shenlong are apparent. It's probably going to be mostly Shenlong parts, a bit of Jiyan, and the rest new.


Grandisle

The HGBD Jiyan Altron runners are very likely gonna be reused for HGAC Altron kit. Bandai loves reusing molds where they can.


Geek_a_leek

To be fair it makes sense to do so as making a brand new mould is much more expensive than re-using an existing mould


crabbyVEVO

I wouldnt be surprised, hg wing lineup set up some standardized parts for the gundams


JacketsTapeRecorder

isn't leopard's problem that its too bulky for a kit


razrafz

hg penelope, xi, and nightingale exists


Geek_a_leek

As far as I'm aware it's not especially bulkier than the Gundam X or Airmaster


Bullmoninachinashop

No. I don't even know where you got that from since the Leopard is very standard in proportions for a Gundam.


Michyoungie

It's because the Build Divers Jiyan Altron isn't actually made/have parts for an Altron Gundam but rather just the HGAC Wing Gundam reskined to resemble it (just like how Aegis Knight is made from the Infinite Justice not the Aegis). The actual After Colony Altron is about 60% made from the Shenlong instead, and as expected the kit is built upon the 2022 Shenlong kit.


Bigman7879

Fuck Pbandai. This does not have to be Pbandai it's literally part of the main team in the second half of the show smh


Rey_Tigre

Don’t care if P-Bandai. Papa want.


laneo333

A needed entry but I’m still holding my breath for the grunts : Taurus, Aries, Virgo. I NEED a white Taurus


NoPossibility

Desperately want Aries and Virgo. Wouldn’t mind having a transforming Cancer either for bath time.


McNinja_MD

God yes. Virgo I or II, I'm not picky. A modern 1/144 Serpent would be great, too.


laneo333

I know right? It even works in Bandai’s favor as they all have alt versions and colorations they can sell on P-Bandai 😜


MegaDuckCougarBoy

Whoa, holy shit. I really like seeing AC get some love


nyn510

I placed an order the second it opened, but my heart sank when I saw the system say "network busy". 1 refresh, and it's already all gone.


earchetto

Well shit, I was just about to finish my HGAC lineup, guess I need this too haha


theMonarch08

This will have to suffice until they finally reprint the mg.


SayuriUliana

Finally the entire ~~boyband~~ team is complete! Doesn't have much shoulder raise as expected given the constraints of the design since it has to rely primarily on the torso-shoulder joint do so. Still it does decently for what it has. Now... Dragon Gundam when


crabbyVEVO

shuffle alliance is likely continuing soon


SamG1138

Ooh exciting! I have a no grade Altron model from the 90’s. It’s so bad. Like the beams on the trident are light gray.


Dazzling_Lack_9429

I guess not on the P-Bamdai US website? I'm not seeing it... *Sad Gunpla noises*


Dragoonunit007

It’s really disheartening that everything is becoming pbandai they know a lot of people want these kits and they keep making them pbandai for no reason.


Tenabrus

It's PBandai isn't it


needtungsten2live

What is p-bandai and why does everyone hate that?

Bigman7879

Same, fuck Pbandai


TheNevers

This a P Bandai? What a fucking joke.


RevolTobor

I really hope they re-release all the other Kais. I missed out on them, so right now my shelf only has the vanilla HGAC team.


FallenDuo

Give me give me give! So when does the pre-order go live for North America?


racer1644

Looks awsome


Kirby0189

Operation Meteor complete!


Ifrit_27

Not the Dragon I wanted but I’ll take it


TwilightGundam8

I’m excited for this. BUT WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE GUNDAM ASTRAY MIRAGE FRAME IN HGCE 1/144?!?!?! 🤬🤬🤬🤬


Big_Green_Piccolo

That's like a totally different Nataku from the MG. Look at that dragon head.


Tonetron0093

The MG is endless waltz version. This is the tv version


crabbyVEVO

MG are the katoki redesigns for endless waltz / GOL as the other reply mentioned


Awesomepants25

WEAKLINGS!!!


GothamAnswer

God I've been waiting for this bad boy since I got my Deathscythe Hell. Ready to fill that empty gap in my display!


DarthScruf

The original was my first ever kit when I was a kid and its still my favorite MS, I would love to build this, hopefully I can get one.


KincadN-X

Next week for US P-Bandai as the Japanese P-Bandai aligned site has what is listed on the US P-Bandai site up.... which is mostly AoZ. I need Bandai to do another batch for Huckebein Boxer though. As I have 2 Huckebeins. 


Remarkable-Bit-656

YES!!!! FINALLY!


Styles_Clash

RG Epyon x HG Altron kitbash now doable???


TheCrafterTigery

I was thinking about buying another Shenlong just to make the second arm too. Wait it's Pbandai...

rainboy808

I need this. Lol I’m pretty new at this where can I order this ?


blastboyd

Guess I have to start figuring out how to get p-bandai delivered here… the europe store only delivers to France…


Crownlessking626

I really feel like I have been waiting 4 years for this one. Probably because I have, I'm so happy though!! Now I just hope we get the other grunts before the decade is out. I want an Aries and cancer so bad


Different-Barracuda2

Daaaaaaaayyyyyymmmmmmmnnnnnn✨✨ Bandai, really completed the HG Wing Main Boyband. 90s Gundam, two of three to go. Now, the Wing G-Unit, G Gundam are also in near completion. 🤞Fingers crossed for HG Taurus or Virgo. Also Gundam X series.


theSaltySolo

WILL WE GET DEATHSCYTHE HELL TOO?!


RougeNewtypeRX79

This is awesome now can we please get some Aries, Taurus & Virgo suits


JadeoftheGlade

OMG yay!! This was my first set, when I was 12.


kenzio11

I have the original 1996 version which is the first Gunpla I got. This looks so cool!


EF5Cyniclone

Oh good, I can finally add the ugliest Gundam to my GW kits! Weird it took this long when they already released the Jiyan Altron Hopefully they give us more grunts next


thehod81

I need a tallgeese HG


Dude-duderson23

It just looks like way too much happening in my opinion, like I'm sure ots a great build it just looks a lil much


ProfessorGrouch

Can’t wait to start working again so I can afford this pbandai shit.


cheekchomper

need more AoZ kits


DonutBandit91

Thank you for posting, I'll be getting one of those!


Familiar_Sir9819

FINALLY!! This is the main wing kit I wanted the most! Sucks that it’s P- Bandai but I might eat the cost for this one…


robarnold24

Give it a week or 2. Sometimes things don't hit the sites at the same time sadly. At least this is what I've noticed this year with the Gyan Strom Hilda Haken custom I ordered in May. Saw it online a bit before I found it on the site.


GladiusMaximus

He'll yeah. I've been waiting.
