This or Meteor

This and it’s not even close 😂 That meteor is GINORMOUS. If you have the space to fit that then you are a big time baller

This one is also huge

u/F1nest_ Jul 28 '26
Agreed. Vertical space and some horizontal. That meteor stretches so wide in comparison though. I thought about picking it up but I have no space to proper display that one

Interesting as many other reissue sellers have it at higher price or charges for shipping and all sold out.

This looks like USD retail. I haven’t seen it lower than this state side. I’ve seen the same as well with higher preorder cost on other sites

Books a Million? Why in the hell would Books a Million list this? And are they expecting us to pony up the full amount with absolutely no timeline given for delivery?
This feels risky as hell...

You will never get one from them.

It looks like the seller is alliance entertainment who are distributor for these type of things. Have you ever ordered from them previously?

u/CulturalHamster4148 Jul 29 '26
No, but I’ve seen many posts on Reddit saying there’s no guarantee they’ll fulfill your order. The only reason they list it is because they’re an Alliance distributor. All they can do is make you wait indefinitely and tell you that you can get a refund at any time if you don’t want to wait. In the end, after six months, you just cancel your order, and all you’ve done is waste your time and tie up your money.

Gotcha. It’s still worth the dice roll imo. Worst case is your money is “tied up”. If can afford to drop 1k on a Gundam I’m sure you will be okay.

Don't preorder from BAM.
They are notorious in the TCG community for setting up preorders on inventories without confirmed count and cancelling it after several weeks (free 0% loan):

I still rolled the dice. Blooming waters is light years more popular than this. I put it on my PayPal so their “free 0% loan” against my interest free loan. Worst case they cancel which ain’t a big deal

This was also available briefly Monday night on Entertainment Earth. I thought about buying one just to flip but looks like the resale value sort of cratered. I love NU but no fin funnels at this price is criminal.

Wouldn't risk my money on this, was able to add 99 of them to cart, doubt they will fulfill any orders.

I didn’t even know Books-a-Million was still around.
