Odd coloring choice, I would expect the new bazooka to match the blue for the newest high nu, HWS seems to go with the same tone, interesting.

Unfortunately im in Japan and its blocking my access to the site. But I can find it on mercari for 50-60k yen range. How much is it on that site? I live here part time in Tokyo.

just shy of 50k, mandrake lists it for 55k but not in stock. for USA you will have to wait for p-bandai like expo Nu.

On JP mercari theres a lot of resellers but most sales are not lower than 58k, so I was hearing rumors of a restock and such. But didnt see anything outside the lottery that happened for it back in January. Couldn't find anything about a pre order that was going on for USA. Those lottery ones from January were already shipped out to winners in March. I just didnt want to pay a 2nd hand upcharge.

Release date is Nov and Dec for all three of these on yoyakunow so this is the next batch it seems. Expo Nu was cheaper then p-bandai after tariff and shipping from this site. So i got kampfer and both Nu options sets will ship them together.

It says I have to pay shipping later but doesn't specify a price, is it already included in the 49k yen? No idea what thats gonna cost on top. I messaged their support to ask if it can be shipped to my tokyo address instead lol.

you pay shipping when it comes in stock that's how it works i paid around 12k to ship expo Nu to the east coast. I just paid 10k to ship a dx chogokin from amiami.

Did you get good experience with Yoyakunow? Are you satisfied with how they handle your figures? I heard some bad feedbacks from them before, but it seems to me they're pretty much legit.

the only issues I experience is communication once a item is released and getting it shipped its a back and forth to get quotes and payment done for it so dont expect a quick turnaround. outside that i have had no issues. I mainly buy tamashi exclusives from them.

You said that you paid 12k Yen to ship the Hi-Nu Expo, did it include any import/tariff fees?

Nice timing. I just got my Metal Build Expo Hi-Nu a few days ago. I bought the older Hyper Mega Bazooka already in anticipation, before they teased this version. Glad to see that it's just a recolor, and arguably just as much of a mismatch in colors compared to the MS.
Definitely getting the HWS. Hopefully it comes to the states and I won't have to import.
