Bandai announced a special booster pack for Mobile Suit Gundam Arsenal Base celebrating the game's 4.5th anniversary. Every card in the pack uses the new NEXT RARE rarity, featuring popular mobile suits and pilots from Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket through Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX. Buying 10 boxes guarantees a specially designed BP09-006 Freedom Gundam card as a purchase bonus. Reservations run through September 7 at Premium Bandai, with shipping scheduled for November.
The 4.5th anniversary set drops the usual rarity mix entirely. Every card in the pack is NEXT RARE, a rarity Bandai is introducing with this booster. The card pool spans the franchise broadly, from Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket to Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX.
Bandai is pairing the rarity overhaul with a volume incentive. A purchase of 10 boxes guarantees BP09-006 Freedom Gundam, a specially designed SECRET card not tied to random pulls. The pack retails at 3,300 yen per box, with each box holding 10 packs of three cards.
Reservations close September 7 at 23:00, and Bandai notes orders end once the prepared quantity is reached. Shipment is planned for November, with the product also listed for sale in some overseas regions.
