Also Gazer looks NICE and happy to see they included the Suel version head

Got in preorders for Drive, Build and Zi-O on Amiami once they went up.

These 5 getting reissued tells me there's no renewal plans yet, so I'll gladly get these and sell off my originals the month they drop. Though in Zi-O's case I'll have to swap parts around since mine has the SHFU sticker upgrades.

what's the difference of the rerelease geats and the old one from earlier this year? beside from the hiking the price from ~3800 yen to ~6600 yen.

Nothing. The 3800 is the "special" price for first edition release

This is incredibly kind of Bandai. It’s smart too, because it gives a nice little incentive to people who might already have these figures without the weapons.

I have the best selection of the build figure, and the ichiban kuji clear version of it; and I’m tempted to get this rerelease because of the weapons.

Edit: It’s kind of fun to look at the pictures all lined up and see the evolution of the waist and leg connections over time. The Ghost one looks pretty bad to me, and Ex-Aid sort of went back to a similar style as the Drive figure.

I always have the feeling that anything after Gaim won't get renewal treatment.

Quick questions:

1. can the weapon included for build be found in the original bike set?
2. for the original releases, which figure(s) include the weapon for ZiO?

Build's weapons do come with his bike + Zi-O & Geiz's weapons both come with their bike.

It will happen in time, the line is constantly evolving.

Yes, the Machine Builder comes with the gun and the sword.

Same as Build, the weapons came with the bike.

Thank you so look like ZiO is the one I need to pick up if I really need to.

Funny part is that the Ex-Aid figuarts lone uses the same engineering style used for the seihou line. Such as the hip/leg joints

Bandai decided to reserve that engineering for that line and went back to the hip joints engineering you see with Ghost, Build, and onward for the main line

Same engineering for the Drive figuarts as well as stated
