This set has some very cool art, and some cards you’re going to want in your collection. I do have the full list available for anyone interested.

The new Premium Bandai Gunpla Drops for October are up!

Leave a comment

Premium Bandai just dropped a few kits that you are going to want to look into. I know my wallet is getting scared. If you enjoy these updates, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends.

Master Grade

ECLIPSE GUNDAM ($52)

I love the shape of this kit, and it transforms! The MG ECLIPSE GUNDAM kit is a 1/100 scale model going for $52, which isn’t terrible for a Master Grade. It does have add-ons that I will go over down below. The kit is available for preorder till March 4th or until supplies run out. It is expected to ship in April 2024.

MANEUVER STRIKER for ECLIPSE GUNDAM ($32)

If you want to spruce up your Eclipse Gundam, Premium Bandai is releasing the two Striker kits to add to your collection. I’ll start with the Maneuver Striker kit because I think it is the cooler of the two. The Maneuver Striker is a 1/100 scale model you can pick up for $32. You can display it in its vehicle mode, or combine it with your Eclipse Gundam for some cool action poses! Preorders are open till March 4, or till supplies run out. Kits ship out in April.

RAIJIN STRIKER ($34)

The Raijin Striker is still cool, especially when you transform your Eclipse Gundam into the ship, but I still like the aesthetics of the Maneuver Stricker a bit better. It is still a fun add-on if you need it. The Raijin Striker is also a 1/100 scale model, and you can pick one up for $34. Preorders are open till March 4th, or until supplies run out. Kits are expected to ship in April.

Real Grade

OO XN RAISER ($50)

Out of all the builds I’ve done so far, I think I’ve had the most fun building my Real Grade kit. While I love the casual building experience that High Grades offer, the details that Real Grades have are just so satisfying to see in person. Premium Bandai has a 1/144 scale OO XN RAISER RG kit and I am tempted. This kit looks so cool. I love the accessories, and I know it’s going to look amazing on the shelf. The kit costs $50, and preorders are open till February 2nd, or when supplies run out. Kits are expected to ship in March.

High Grade

GM [MOROCCAN FRONT TYPE] ($22)

These little HG kits are always a blast to build. I love how unique it will look in my collection against the more traditional-looking Gundams. This kit has such a visually pleasing color scheme. The GM [MOROCCAN FRONT TYPE] is a 1/44 scale model you can pick up for only $22. Preorders are open til February 2nd, or until supplies run out. The kits ship in March 2024.

New Premium Bandai Gunpla preorders are live and they look sick!

Leave a comment

I recently found my obsession with Gunpla and have been slowly filling my shelves with models with a few of the older kits. I didn’t think this hobby was for me because my ADHD is so bad, but I was surprised to find the whole process soothing and relaxing. If you’ve been considering getting into the hobby, just buy yourself a kit, some nipper, and a sanding stick and get ready to spend all your money on Gunpla!

The Premium Bandai stuff that was just put on for preorder looks amazing! They have extra parts, swag, and unique Gunpla that you won’t find anywhere else. They aren’t there for every, so make sure you get your order in before it’s too late! I am just going to focus on the Gunpla, but make sure you check out Premium Bandai for everything else. And if you’ve been enjoying these updates, or the rest of my content, make sure you like, comment, follow, and share this with your friends!
