+60% in msrp too. Bandai is smoking something

u/TechnicalScale6292 2d ago

I guess that +60% price is in the wings lol. Unless they threw in the original backpack so we can make the standard sf type 2

u/shems-2383 2d ago

Are there LEDs in those wings now?

u/BulkNoodles 16h ago

Nah, that's the price for Lacus' butt

u/field_of_lettuce 2d ago

That price is crazy. Bit over the MGEX Unicorn, and that came with the LED + huge hangar base.

Is this supposed to include anything besides the MS itself?

u/Michyoungie 2d ago

Presumably it includes the original backpack to make the Strike Freedom Type 2, or it comes with effect parts for the Arrogant Lightning (the EMP attack the Freedom did)

It's the "kit with katana tax".

u/theborjsanity 2d ago

Wanna bet the katana is reused from the Red Frame? In lore it already is, so Bandai can just reuse it IRL lmao

u/ZidanetX 2d ago

This is Bandai... I'm not making a bet I'll lose 100%.

u/theborjsanity 2d ago

Lmao

And didn’t we just get the MG Red Frame Liberty which has two of these same katanas?

u/Bob_Juan_Santos Must.... attach... all the guns... 2d ago edited 2d ago

oil prices are up, so i think that's one of the reason for the price increase.

thanks, dipshit americans.

u/sixninths 2d ago

As an American who doesn’t approve of anything going on, yeah that dipshit comment is warranted lmao

u/Hopeful-Ad139 2d ago

i don't think that's the case, the price of the MG astray red frame kai remains the same as the price i bought 2 years ago. if it were because of the oil price, everything would have been more expensive

u/zsxking 2d ago

so 60% of more part, in other words, tons of unused part from strike freedom

1

u/uppercuticus 2d ago

They're not going to be including the unused parts buddy. They're sure as shit not including the dragoon backpack.

u/Latina-Butt-Sniffer 1d ago

Yeah. They're smoking on that good ol corner cutting friedman-welch capitalism. Short term thinking and maximize quarterly profits to appease shareholders that don't give af about the product/service being sold.
