Bandai Spirits has opened a third round of orders for the METAL BUILD METEOR from Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, following strong demand for the large-scale mech. The third order is a lottery sale on Premium Bandai, with applications accepted from August 7, 2026 at 11:00 JST through September 27, 2026 at 23:00 JST. Winners will be announced in late September 2026, and the item is scheduled to ship in April 2027. The METEOR was supervised by Shigeta Satoshi, chief mechanical designer for the Gundam SEED series, and was created by the same team behind the METAL BUILD Gundam SEED line. The figure measures approximately 705mm in length, or about 860mm when connected to a mobile suit, and extends to over 1,200mm with the beam sword effect parts attached. It includes gimmicks such as firing mode expansion, engine rotation, and hatch opening mechanisms. As an original feature, it supports connection to the Aile Strike Gundam and Force Impulse Gundam. The set includes the main body, beam sword effect parts, arm cover parts, exchangeable panel parts, joint parts, and a dedicated base. The price is 88,000 yen including tax, with free shipping. The figure itself is not included.
The METAL BUILD METEOR is a large-scale mech from the Gundam SEED series, and this third order follows two previous rounds that sold out. The lottery format on Premium Bandai is a common approach for high-demand items, allowing Bandai Spirits to control distribution. The figure is made of ABS and die-cast materials, and its gimmicks include firing mode expansion, engine rotation, and hatch opening mechanisms. The original feature is its compatibility with the Aile Strike Gundam and Force Impulse Gundam, which is not standard for the METEOR design. The set includes the main body, beam sword effect parts, arm cover parts, exchangeable panel parts, joint parts, and a dedicated base. The price is 88,000 yen including tax, with free shipping. The figure itself is not included, so buyers need a separately sold METAL BUILD Gundam to display it in connected form. The application period runs from August 7 to September 27, 2026, with winners announced in late September and shipping scheduled for April 2027.
