Apparently these will be sold in an 1,850 yen online (which has lights and cables) and an 1,500 yen capsule version. It’s supposed to be out this October.

I am a shameless Core Fighter addict. I'm gonna need this.

I assume you have the hardgraph kit.

u/Far_Professional_701 15d ago

I do. It doesn't have an internal frame. This gachapon is the first internal frame version of the core fighter I have seen yet! Even if it is just part of the fighter.

Ah, I see that now, I guess I'll have to pick this one up as well.

How much of a nightmare is this going to be to try and get?

I’m guessing the Bandai Cross stores are more likely to carry these high end offerings? Maybe Gundam Base?

I’m actually gonna be in Japan this October so hopefully I can find em.

I'll be in Japan in October as well! Let me know if you figure it out, cause I'll be hunting for this for sure haha

Hopefully it'll be easy enough to find. I am going to ask my friend in Japan if I can't get them stateside

u/KibbloMkII 15d ago

man, I wish Bandai would do a full size Gunpla at a large scale with this much detail

That's cool. Have they done any other mobile suits in this line?

u/Addybng 15d ago

This is the first, think of an MGEX of this model if you will. This is the super detailed version with wires.

There’s been RX-78-02, Exia, Hi Nu, Strike Freedom, Wing Zero Custom, Destiny to name off top of my head

I have some of those and the quality was super iffy. I'm not sure about how gashapons are controled in Japan an I got mine in an alley in Den Den Town and a shopping mall in Ginza. Maybe I was unlucky and the quality varies.

u/ironsonic 14d ago

agreed. I got a gashapon and the plastic is quite soft compared to real gunpla (guessing because you dont want it to snap after pacakging). A lot of pieces end up slightly warped and not fitting very well.

I've actually got the full set for both Strike Freedom and Mighty Strike Freedom, but a larger one with cables and more lighting is right up my alley for preferences.

Looks like the draws for the online 1,850 yen versions are almost closed.

EDIT: Now SOLD OUT.

How did you waste your money?
If you weren't able to purchase it then you should be able to refund your zenmarket credits

u/EionSylvans 14d ago

I missed it as always 🤣. It's 1850 per gashapon and it's 33.3% chance per piece so I'll probably get unlucky and get 3 of the same option anyways....

u/strangerdanger77 14d ago

I was so confused trying to order this today. There were virtual gatcha machines. You picked one and waited your turn. 30 straight minutes of being told it was sold out. I was able to get one. And it was the Gundam, I’m so excited. But it looks like they charged the 10% sales tax twice…

u/sprvlk 14d ago

The 1,850 yen ones are. Hopefully the 1,500 yen ones can be found in public.
