The point is the joints: parts detach and reattach so the four machines can be broken down and rebuilt, which is the same logic the game uses in its garage. Bandai Candy Division ships them to the confectionery sections of mass retailers nationwide, not to hobby shops alone. The lineup is LOADER 4, Nightfall, Steel Haze, and Milk Tooth, one per box, four types total.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLOADER 4\u003c/strong\u003e: First in the four-type lineup\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNightfall\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Haze\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMilk Tooth\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e","blueskyPost":"Bandai's Armored Core VI Assembly Collection sells one random figure per box, so the swappable parts only matter if you buy duplicates.
