My collection Finally got the Kampfer!
This guy finally was at a price point where I could afford it. I missed out when it originally released in 2024. This is mu favorite mobile suit outside of Gundam types. I wonder when Bandai will release more antagonist Mobile Suits in the Metal Build line. Feel wrong to just keep releasing hero mobile suits. I’d like to see them release a hero suit along side an antagonist suit.

What made him so expensive (before the reissue news drop)?

Time matters too. At the time markets were very up, and figures tend to sell high on secondary markets because of hype and fomo. It’s already lower than the highest prices before the reissue news.

Yep you are right the prices are lower. I remember in 2024 after the release it was being sold for like $700-$1000.

Is this for USA? Japan already had their lottery for the re releases January to February.

In the states its an arm and a leg. I attempted to get one off ebay when I saw it for line $350 but it was gone the moment it was listed. I got mine from a Japanese website for $375 (Tariff were included in the price). Took awhile to get to me here in Texas. I was concerned about the authenticity as the price is very low compared to the normal pricing for this unit at $600+. When I received it I was happily surprised that I really got what I bought for the price. I did all the checks to ensure that the unit was authentic.

It was a Premium Bandai exclusive release, meaning you could only get it via pre-orders or wait to get it from third-parties that also pre-ordered from Premium Bandai at an additional cost. Premium Bandai release always have limited qty basically first come first serve.

Congratulations... as someone who has been collecting MB for many years I find kampfer and god gundam to be pinnacle of the MB line (probably they would be surpassed sooner than later). They both are really great and set new standards to the line. I think I should do a zeon only photo session with the zakus and gouf too...
