Even Freedom hit 19,500 at one stage, this is now the reissue hence is lowered. I am a bit surprised that they have began to hit over 20,000 yen for all the new metal builds lately, and I honestly think its not justifying as you stated freedom is like what 13,000 yen ?
I have gotten my Metal Build Gundam Avalanche Exia but I am waiting for the options parts so as to look as if I bought only ONE toy and not get murdered by my wife.
