I know this thread is mostly anime talk, but did anybody order the Metal Build Astray Red Frame last night?

I forgot about it, until it was too late and I missed the Astray itself. But I did get a preorder for the flight unit, yaaaay.

I don't collect Metal Builds, but I do like the look of some of them. Especially the Destiny and SF.

The only Metal Build I have is Exia

And that was because it had R2 and R3 parts which I can't really get in 1/100 elsewhere.

Wait, there's an Exia R3?

I passed on the preorder for Destiny, and I have never regretted any decision in my life as much.

Technically, Exia came with the R3 parts. the R2 parts came with Exia Repair. Someday I will buy two more of the Exia/R3 set so I can display all the forms. Because I'm dumb and OCD.

It gets brought up in the movie.
Sorta kinda.

Metal Builds look cool, but I don't know much about them.

I don't remember that.

I was going to pre-order it then saw the price. I think I'd rather get the PG for cheaper and I get to have fun building it. It's a bit expensive in my eyes when you're getting a MG sized gundam with some diecast parts. I know it's probably got a nice premium finish and quality to it but I prefer model kits. lol.

Setsuna gets to earth on the Exia, by that point it was already the REIII.
Lockon also uses the Dynames Repair, but the names are never brought up.

Huh.... Yeah, I don't remember Setsuna getting to Earth. I remember the whole colony corp thing in the One flag and him an Ptolemios hanging out in space and him on Earth helping Saji out but yeah.
