Premium Bandai Opens Preorders For Four Gundam Metal Robot Spirits Items
Three of the four scheduled items are second or third preorder rounds rather than debuts, and the Double X bypasses first-come ordering entirely for a lottery, which shows how Premium Bandai is spacing out supply of these 40th and 30th anniversary releases.

Premium Bandai has set September 25 to 29 as a preorder window for four Metal Robot Spirits and Robot Spirits Gundam releases, all ordered through its own store. The Metal Robot Spirits Nu Gundam Exclusive HWS & Display Parts Set opens September 25 at 16:00 for 12,100 yen, shipping March 2027, and pairs armor and weapon parts with maintenance deck style display parts. On September 29 at 16:00, the Metal Robot Spirits (Ka signature) Enhanced ZZ Gundam enters a third preorder round at 26,400 yen for June 2027 shipment, and the Full Armor Parts Set for that figure enters a second round at 13,200 yen for May 2027. The Robot Spirits Qubeley Mass Production Type Marking Plus takes a second round the same day at 35,200 yen for April 2027. The Metal Robot Spirits Gundam Double X runs as a lottery instead, at 24,200 yen with applications until 23:00 on October 18, winners in late October, and shipping in March 2027.
The four items split across three Gundam television series. The Enhanced ZZ Gundam and the Qubeley Mass Production Type both carry 40th anniversary framing for Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, while the Gundam Double X marks the 30th anniversary of After War Gundam X. The Nu Gundam set is tied to Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack.
The ZZ pair is built to combine. Adding the Full Armor Parts Set to the Enhanced ZZ Gundam produces the Full Armor ZZ Gundam, and the parts set carries a Hyper Mega Cannon that mounts on either backpack, with flexible energy supply cables for posing. The Qubeley Mass Production Type, supervised by mechanical designer Mika Akitaka, measures roughly 260mm in overall height and arrives with 14 funnel effect parts and beam saber effects reaching about 160mm.
The Double X avoids a standard queue. Premium Bandai is taking lottery applications for it until 23:00 on October 18, with winners named in late October. Its reflectors, energy radiator, and satellite cannon deploy without parts swapping, and it includes effect parts for the dual-wielding pose from Episode 24, "Double X, Activate!"
