That explains the more high level of quality then.
Which bodes well for the new show itself getting normal Minipla things. Super Minipla is usually reserved for older which explains why this is the older designs then.

P-Bandai?! Nooo, that's what I was afraid of.

These look really cool.

Noticed this item is not entirely P-Bandai exclusive, when covering the item for Hero-Club.com. The P-Bandai order page would have a banner image at the top, and the Bandai Candy listing would feature this【プレミアムバンダイ限定】in the title. They just activated the P-Bandai page before retailers are able to open pre-orders for the item most likely, or they just botched the Bandai Candy page.

I came to this conclusion by comparing the Gridman listing to Kakure Daishogun http://www.bandai.co.jp/candy/produc...251446000.html

Someone may want to change the image used on the "order information" article up on the main page. The thing is HORRIFICALLY mistransformed in those stock images (I hope). Arm kibble sticking straight ought the sides instead of folded against the back, and the side skirts are folded forward and sticking out alongside the front skirt. I almost skipped on these because I'm not sure just what it's actually SUPPOSED to look like.

Interesting, I was wondering why no retailers had this up for pre-order yet.

Pre-orders currently live at retailers, a friend confirmed it had a street date activation for normal retailers.
