Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower

It’s not enough that we’re currently taking pre-orders for Gundam The Origin V, and will be bringing the first part of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ to Blu-ray in September, as today we’re happy to announce we are offering fans in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Scandinavian territories the opportunity to order the upcoming import release of Mobile Suit Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower from our AllTheAnime.com web shop.

As has been the case the before, this pre-order scheme at our AllTheAnime.com web shop is in conjunction with Bandai Visual and allows UK, Ireland and Scandinavian fans the chance to pre-order this upcoming release knowing it will be sent from our offices here in the UK (once stock arrives – expect in December 2017/January 2018).

But as has been the case with past pre-order schemes like this, please note this is a Japanese product. Thought the main feature, Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower, will include an English language audio option along with English subtitles to accompany the Japanese audio, any additional on-disc features and/or physical items that are included as part of the product will be in Japanese only.

We (Anime Limited) will begin taking pre-orders for Gundam Thunderbolt: Bandit Flower for UK, Ireland and Scandinavian customers through our AllTheAnime.com web shop starting today (Tuesday 25th July 2017.)

NOTE: The deadline to pre-order by will be Tuesday 10th October 2017. After this deadline has passed we will not accept any more orders for this product. Though unlikely, should there be any additional units following fulfilment of pre-orders, they will be made available to order through our AllTheAnime.com web shop on a first-come first served basis.

PRE-ORDER GUNDAM THUNDERBOLT: BANDIT FLOWER HERE

The product itself isn’t released in Japan mid-November 2017, so we anticipate our stock to arrive following the Japanese release date. We anticipate order for this to be shipping in late November/early December 2017. Obviously if our allocation arrives earlier than that we will work to fulfil pre-orders sooner.

Please read on below for details on what you can expect with this product.

Synopsis:Earth, eight months after the end of the One Year War. Captain Monica launches a secret mission, “Operation Thunderbolt,” and selects Io to pilot the Atlas Gundam. She leads the assault landing ship Spartan into a part of the ocean effectively controlled by the South Seas Alliance. Their objective is to secure or destroy the data of the Psycho Zaku, which the Alliance now possesses. Daryl, who took the upper hand in his battle with Io, has descended to Earth as part of the remnant forces of the Principality of Zeon. He has also been given the mission of obtaining information on the Psycho Zaku.

Fighting alongside his new comrades, Io encounters Commander Peer, the South Seas Alliance’s border garrison commander. In the sea, on the ice field, and among the thick jungle, the mobile suits of Zeon, the Federation, and the South Seas Alliance battle each other.

The war is not over yet.
