[@lllXanderlll]

It's actually insane that the RG Sazabi is strong enough to hold the weapon and the effect part up without the arm sagging, hell it'll fall over before it'll let that arm go slack !

[@HaohmaruHL]

Yeah, my MG verka one looks so woobly in comparison

[@tedhodge4830]

The RG is a tank, the only weak point is the toe hinge

[@bbqbaconborgar]

Ah yes, the Mr. Krabs Sazabi

[@PO-xk3qd]

And when you sandwich them ff together they'll become krab-bi patty

[@shiro-neko1848]

Kyujin sazabi

[@ClydeFake]

The Krazabi.

[@CaneMcKeyton]

"Arararar, Amuro me boy!"

[@Yusei255]

Kind of looks boring.

[@HyperWeaponHobby]

definitely loved the freebies, now they should make an Entry Grade version of this kit. Its a good contrast to the Nu Gundam

[@armin8306]

I kinda wish you got two green effect parts but this is pretty cool. I didn't expect the new parts to be pretty intricate

[@nekodegozaru951]

The FF version is in bright red plastic compared to the muted darker red of the regular version.

[@jrmarcus]

Haven’t built that version of RG Sazabi, but the regular version is in my top 2 or 3 RGs - God, Sazabi, and Hi Nu. I can’t wait for Epyon. Recent RGs have been so much fun to build.

[@darkwisher831]

It will be available in the US at the P-Bandai shop tomorrow June 14th

[@Parasprites]

i'm glad i picked this lobster while i was visiting fukuoka along with FF nu, the pbandai markup in the states with shipping is like 50 extra dollars

[@burps20]

Those weapons when in double barrel mode look like a Star Wars pod racer and now I want to get it to do just that lol

[@MSGSlayer1]

Just pre-ordered mine the other day. Now I question my money-management skills.

[@malakimphoros2164]

I'm happy that someone is about to reproduce the finhorn funnels as a 3d printable kit

[@spicy_bulgogi]

I loved playing as the 04ff sazabi on gbo2, just preordered my kit off pbandai

[@TheNerdzerker]

Would love to get one, and try to modify the backpack to have both types of funnels attached, full compliment.

[@razrafz]

tbh, after building several kits with the kps frames, yes they are easy to clean and grips parts nicely, but since they are quite soft, are also susceptible to shearing stress. the worst kind of plastic to use with C-clips, which what plagues the WFM kits (also the infamous freedom 2.0 hips)

[@viperson9818]

I was gonna pick up this kit but I personally don’t think if you already have a sazabi this one wouldn’t stand out unless you want the lobster claw weapons. Unlike the SideF Nu Gundam which have a different color scheme to boot and it’s new beam weapon.

[@shinjari]

This comes with an effect part for the Fukuoka Nu....curse you Bandai marketing...

[@viperson9818]

@@shinjari Ik so weird to lock an effect part behind another entire kit.

[@stevenhirtle7000]

​@@viperson9818 You. Could always just buy the 3rd Party repro of the effect part if you don't want to pay for a whole kit.

[@michaelsky2701]

Anything below Gundarium for this beast is low ballin'. Just look at those arms, holding such huge blasters!

[@chrischoi1441]

Well, the price did't gone better it's double of the price for the claws.

[@PAYM3]

I know right ? I would've considered it at ~80$ max, but the mark up at the US Premium Bandai is simply ridiculous, especially considering that the dollar is already strong compared to the Yen.

[@thaihungphan7255]

Man its about 120 dollar in my local shop 😭

[@lawz7787]

I ordered mine for just 40 usd lol. I used shoppee since I’m in SEA and thr ff sazabi retails for 60 usd here. However with a 30% off voucher I was able to massively bring down the price 😂. I wouldn’t order this otherwise. If you know someone who lives in Philippines or malaysia you could ask them to order this for you if they ever go back to your country

[@a.p.studios8713]

I see that Macross YF-19 in the back! Cant wait for that review and also anyone know how to get an affordable macross hg? All Yf-19s anywhere are above 50$ in US so im wsiting for $37 Durandal or later YF-21

[@emi.mp4]

hah! i just built the yf-19 myself. love those forward swept wings!

[@Crimson_Dragon01]

The stickers are for the Nu-Gundam to recreate it being manufactured like the Nu Gundam in the movie. They're the tape covers the joints and the white cover for over the eyes.

[@bizarrion]

Did the mod you made where you cut a piece off the waist to add more of an ab crunch affect its stability over time?

[@mrasco317]

if your reading this the day of the video unloading (6/13) just know the us pbandai shop is gonna have this kit available for preorder the next day (6/14) at 9 pm/21:00 (EDT) for 94 USD plus pban tax

[@NeoSlashott]

FInally, the lobster-Zabi with pincers in true form! 😋

[@zero195]

I'm hoping they release the claws as a separate expansion for the kit since it's a lot just for some new accessories.

[@bukimari]

This reminded me I need to put the water slides on my MG Ver Ka Sazabi. Procrastinatiooonnnn

[@F4NCY_]

Retired doing gundam for awhile now... but i think i should buy this

[@jonathansalazar4630]

The Sazabi is one of my favorite mobile suits of the franchise and was very happy with both the ver ka mg and rg, this variant is really interesting with those giant lobster claws they look cool looking.

[@AndreaRionaReyzu]

When one of the designer reccommend something silly out of joke about placing nipper on Sazabi, but Bandai take it seriously as the next p-bandai product.

[@D.E.S_CT]

P-bandai Usa Will have preorders open for this today 6/14 at 9pm EDT

[@CanonicalBomb]

I do want to see RG Nu Gundam Fully kitted out with everything the Long Range and normal fin Funnels, HWS, on top

[@AlteredNova04]

I just pre-ordered this from P-bandai after watching your review. Already starting to feel regret as it costs literally double the standard RG Sazabi, hopefully those badass funnel cannons are enough to soothe the financial pain.

[@Crystal_Lime]

I got the rg nu gundam a few years back not long after I firsts started building gunpla as it was one of my favourite designs, and I really want a sazabi to go along with it. What would be the best sazabi kit for me to get to pair with the nu?

[@morse2511]

I love how almost all CCA MS have BFW, other than just for show what do you gonna use it for? Destroy Spaceship? MA? Space Fortress?

[@gwkleong]

Awesome kit

[@sierracosta47]

Just got the 93ff but this looks pretty good

[@akuma_mx5]

Saw this in Fukuoka Gundam Base was contemplating as i already have RG Sazabi

[@Gajenzask]

I had this pre ordered on Pbandai

[@henry_ho0606]

You can switch between standard and mr crab as you want, which is rly nice for such a company like bandai, cuz that wont be happening for the most of the time

[@DeadLichertool]

I just finished building the original RG Sazabi and broke the left shoulder peg as I didn't knew it had such issues, complete bummer. Wish I could get this lobster one and build it right next time. Feels so bad to ruin such a good looking kit.

[@tyronedeasis5055]

Still waiting for your RG Nu FF review hehe

[@weaponwaffers3516]

Do Sazabi’s normal funnels fit into the holes of his new funnels? I feel like that could be a pretty cool kitbash to have him wield giant tonfas that hold his normal funnels

[@ashtontan2450]

yep theyre the same part so they should

[@nekodegozaru951]

Not directly. There is an adaptor piece that you put over where the funnels are supposed to store in order to put the new weapons on. You still have the old parts so you could just assemble it as a regular Sazabi with extra weapons. Also it was mentioned at 11:23.

[@cosmicaler]

@@nekodegozaru951 The old parts like the regular fin funnels? Any more difference between this and the regular sazabi?

[@nekodegozaru951]

@@cosmicaler It's basically the same original RG Sazabi with richer red color+ the crab claws, effect parts, action base, and new decals.

[@TheColterbolt]

@@nekodegozaru951 do you know how easy it is to switch out the funnel storage after it's built?

[@kevinwu2053]

Did you do a review on the PG Astray Red Frame? Cause I hadn’t found any Video :D

Still Waiting for them to announce the robot Spirits version of this mobile suit and the full armor hyaku Shiki

[@findthereal12]

At the time of this post, it's still available for pre-order on p-bandai. They've had some pretty nice stuff lately too. The last thing I picked up was the Gundam Fenice Rinascita Alba. Really looking forward to that one, but also sad that I missed out on the MG Tallgeese III.

[@olo398]

yea 94 usd, no thanks.

[@Viper-jr4sp]

@@olo398 i can't use p bandai in canada and p bandai is scarce and stupid expensive saw two stores selling this guy for 175$CAD no fking thanks oh and MG stark jegan 269$ its BS

[@findthereal12]

That p-bandai markup can be a real bitch at times.

[@willisjackson7029]

Crazy, I got the MG Tallgeese III for just under $65 US dollars a few years ago. But I definitely agree that the P-Bandai markups are inexcusable.

[@Viper-jr4sp]

@@willisjackson7029 we used to have a p bandai store here in canada but since it shut down in 2019 its just stupid expensive

[@rhotonj1]

While I want this kit, I already have a RG Sazabi. I think I'll just wait for the third party reproduction of the funnels to come out, and save about 60 bucks. It'll probably come with two effect parts, too.

[@alternativezetton6167]

are those holes on the giant funnels the position to set the original Sazabi's funnels?

[@DeLEWD]

This is about to drop today on USA p bandai today

[@HybrydATP64]

This version of the sazabi is actually a much richer and vibrant shade of red compared to the regular sazabi, i only noticed when i saw videos comparing the two

[@insomaniac1796]

i think that's just the lighting but ur probably right

Sazabi krab custom with his big meaty claw!

[@D_To_The_J]

My only issue with HLJ or Buyee are that HLJ at least didn't tell me how much shipping was going to be until after I purchased the Kit. Shipping was more expensive than the kit to the US.

[@yashil1215]

Yeah it is unfortunate, I remember buying some witch from mercury kits and ended up pretty much breaking even when compared to just buying locally

[@liammathus]

I think the best way to use them is for buying multiple kits cause it ends up being cheaper to buy just one locally

[@tedhodge4830]

@@yashil1215 That's why buying locally is so expensive - shipping international. HLJ calculates the shipping cost for you during checkout before final purchase, you can use that to compare the final pricing....you can still get good deals on HLJ depending on the shipping.

I already bought the standard version. Now i want the accessories on this one but i Don't want to buy a 2nd one

Apart from the big-ass fin funnels, what's the difference between this and the regular RG Sazabi?
