It's picking up. It helps that they've more or less probably shown us that the UE aren't aliens. Also that Grodek is badass.

Quite the badass, and yes, it's picking up now after spending what IMO was way too much time on Fardain, but now there's going to be a huge battle, and those are always good, and will probably reveal more about the UE especially after recent revelations...

What do you guys think of the Age-2?

It's sleek but that head in Strider mode makes me want to vomit.

I like it, but they just were not even trying in strider mode with the head

I got so excited when the transformation scene for the Diva started... and then went awww when it was just a similar looking ship... :-(

Anyway saw that "huge plot twist" coming a mile off >:oP

Ugh... that was a tough scene to watch there. But I guess it was bound to happen since it was always hinted that blondie would be the mother.

Didn't get to me that much, considering when lockon died in 00 we have known who he is, what he's like and why we like him for a whole season, Tifa...er...Yurin dyingI don't know why I should care, was in all of three episodes, we know next to nothing about the character. Really, all the characters we know anything but basic facts about are Flit, Grudek and possibly Woolf >:oP

I did something today I still can't believe. I ordered a MG Nemo. Only about $30. I've been having an urge to build a grunt suit for a change, but i HATE the style of GM's and wanted something newer. I was looking at a ReZel, but then I noticed something about the Nemo. This kit is VERY under-appreciated. The frame is pretty much a 2.0 frame. It's just different enough from the GM that i don't outright hate it. I think I'm gonna try to kitbash or customize him though, not something I've done before. I've basically got a MG Aile Strike, MG FAZZ, MG Hyaku-Shiki, and a MG Zeta C Plus to draw parts from.

That's killer. Any MG for $30 is awesome. I'm contemplating to get MG Qant but at the same time, that movie wasn't too thrilling for me, I'd rather bite on an MG Exia..

by **Aluus** » Mon Feb 27, 2012 5:54 am

Exia was the last MG I built and one of my favorites. The build is unique and the design is just... in a word... AWESOME!

EDIT: Apparently, dalong.net doesn't like when I use their images so just click on the links instead

Now, regarding the Nemo... Look at these.

I'll admit... Not the most flashy of suits, and he got very little screen time in Z.

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_02.jpg

This is the inner frame of the suit. Not to shabby given the price I paid.

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_20.jpg

With the right customizations, this guy can be a little badass! First pic has the ballute system as part of the customization. Out of the box he already comes set up for equipping that.

He was $33.88 from http://www.gundamstoreandmore.com

For comparison, that's only a few dollars more than a MG Ball and the same as some of the older version 1.0 kits. This guy comes with a full inner frame (excluding some parts at the shoulders), an extra joint in the wrists allowing him to bend his hands up and down, a bunch of moving and working pistons in his legs and so on.

Double-jointed wrists.

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_26.jpg

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_27.jpg

Hip mechanism for added posing.

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_30.jpg

And here's what I'm talking about. Look at all the details and gimmicks in his legs alone.

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_55.jpg

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_56.jpg

http://www.dalong.net/review/mg/m88/p/m88_57.jpg

From what I can tell, the MG Nemo was basically a test bed for all the new designs and tech put into the 2.0 kits. The only reason he's so cheap is because he's sort of under the radar. Slap a v-fin on this guy and rename him and he'd fly off the shelves I think. Dalong gives him a rating of 96. That's 2 less than the MG Zeta 2.0, MK 2.0's and even the brand new MG Duel Assault Shroud. It's the same rating as the MG Deathscythe.

Wow that easy. Thanks for uh, what's that word, when you locate something, what is it...

by **Aluus** » Tue Feb 28, 2012 3:06 am

It's only about 100 yen (about $1) more with shipping to order from gundamstoreandmore.com and since it ships from Michigan as opposed to JAPAN, you'll get it a lot faster (assuming you live in the US.)

Hehe. I hit up Ako Hobby for some custom parts. None of them are designed for the nemo actually. I ordered some that are upgrades for the GM Kai. With a little tweaking, i should be able to make them work. This will be my first custom. It's not the painting, sanding, cutting, gluing or assembling that bugs me. It's the painting. That part will most likely suck donkey balls. :BANG_HEAD:

So AGE second Gen...not bad, Asemu is inherently less annoying than Flit, and the Emily type character is not a psycho b---h. Dique's kid is annoying though. I will say, having Woolf and Milas back is great, and AGE-2 is growing on me. Also, QAN(t) very good kit, especially if you cut out a square from the polycap frame and shove it in the waist to fix the balance. I didn't like the movie at all, but the kit is much better than anything about that movie (space flower, my ass). Also, getting the BTR or resin Sword IV for it makes it even better.

by **Aluus** » Sun Apr 22, 2012 2:33 am

I start off trying to build a customized MG Nemo... I wind up with something that can only be called a high-performance, high-mobility, GUNDAM with only 40% of it's parts still being from the Nemo. WTF MAN?!

I'll upload some pics once I get it cleaned up and primed.

Hi, I'm new to the gundam game. I've never seen any of the cartoons but I've got one model. And have more then a few in mind to buy

But I have a few questions first

Are there any that you'd recommend? (My roof price is in the mid thirties)

Which size is bigger, 1/144 or 1/100?

Is eHobby a good place to perchase them? Or is someplace else?
