Looking at all of the new stuff over @ Ngeekhiong is making me melt.

I really need to set my priorities straight with these mecha or I'm going to get 50 Kit boxes in the next year or so..

I'm a ninja..

Do we really need another OO or Exia kit of any kind? There are already 50 of each. I'm eagerly awaiting the inevitable OO seven sword trans am kit...or not.

I'm one of the few people that thinks that kit looks horrible. I'd rather spend a couple dollars more and pick up something like the Gaplant TR-5 Hrairoo (a fantastic 1/144 kit.)

Back to kits that don't suck, I just completed my 3rd MG Acguy and I love that kit. I still think it's the best MG Ever.

MG GN-X and G-3 will be arriving Friday. Disappointed GN-X doesn't come with the led.

Any thoughts on the recently announced 30th anniversary refinished PG's? I'll probably pass.

A trip to the Olympics means a trip to Richmond... means Gundam! Garazzo, Seravee and SD 00. SD 00 has been pretty slick for a $9 figure!

Nice pickup. SD OO is great. You going to paint it?

Yeah, I paint all of my models. I'm freaking impressed SD 00 has 'Gundam 00' engraved onto it's forehead.. that's damn good detailing for like I said.. a $9 figure.

You'd probably like the SD Exia's and O Gundam as well. They are all on my desk at this very moment. Great kits.

HLJ has a part 2 their sale now:

My latest Gunpla acquisition:

I've finally jumped onto the 00 Gundam bandwagon.

Good to see it bro! For the first time in the Seibertron Gundam era, I'm actually jealous of what you've got now

News Credits: 2 · by **Convotron** » Wed Feb 17, 2010 3:59 pm

Hehe, my life is now complete! I can't wait to experience first hand the crazy range of articulation the HG 00 Gundam has.

News Credits: 1452 · by **Blurrz** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:09 am

Haha 00 isn't the best, but it's quite solid.

And this boxart... I'll post it again, cause my goodness it looks so damn good;

News Credits: 2 · by **Convotron** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 9:58 am

I must say that the HG 00 Gundam is a great model. I wish I purchased one of the several HG 00s sooner! The Seven Sword/G accessories are great too but the real gem is the 00.

Do you plan on acquiring the MG Exia Trans-Am, Blurrz?

by **pt206** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 11:19 am

That may be the best boxart ever seen on a gundam model kit. I'll pick it up, but it'll go in the pile of things to do at a later time. Does it come with the led or is it like GN-X?

Also released was the last wave of the clear parts campaign. I purchased them all so my last big box of models will be here shortly. I think I have enough MG's to last at least a year now.

by **Gutter Bunny** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:27 pm

Personally I can't get behind the clear parts figs...are they extra parts like on some of the PG's or are they mandatory to complete the figure? If the former, then i might pick a couple up as there are some models that i missed that i wouldn't mind building. If the latter then that is a big pass from me.

Anybody care to share a couple of their Gundam Sources with me? I've been playing hell trying to get a MG blue frame astray over the last couple days. I've had two retailers cancel my order because the item was listed in stock when in fact it wasn't. :-x

I ended up Ebaying it, but i never like doing that.

News Credits: 1452 · by **Blurrz** » Fri Feb 19, 2010 5:48 pm

Check out Hobbywave, they might have it.

And yeah.. I will definitely get MG Trans-Am Exia. MG's are usually fun projects for me. I can't justify buying the regular MG Exia because I already have the 1/100 that's my favourite figure of all time. I've needed a Trans-Am Exia and everything about it.. the boxart, the paintjob, and etc are just jawdropping for me.

The clear parts are extra armour pieces so you still get the original model in its entirety and then you also can use the clear parts to expose the inner frame.

You can go to HWJapan for the MG Blue Frame Second Revise, which is in stock and priced at 30% discount.

What do you think about the 1/100 Exia Avalanche, Blurrz? I've been thinking of getting it. I like how the Exia gets hulked up with the extra armour bits.

by **pt206** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 2:11 pm

Avalanche Exia is a great kit. The MG has better articulation, bordering on too much actually. But, the design of Avalanche is really nice.

If you're in Canada or the US, Gundam Store and More is the place to shop. They have the blue frame in stock. I'm a club member so I get free shipping. I have never seen Hobbywave beat GS&M Prices and GS&M has better packaging.

It seems there is a hobby store war going on in Asia. Excluding sales, I get my kits from Rainbow 10 most of the time if I'm ordering from outside the US. HLJ has now added a third part to their Gundam sale.

News Credits: 1452 · by **Blurrz** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 3:31 pm

Avalanche Exia is a freaking beast. All the 1/100 Gundam 00 Kits are fantastic.. they blow all previous Gundams away. Heck, some are better than old MGs. I love Avalanche's arsenal. It really looks like an Exia trying to act as a Virtue/Seravee type Gundam. And some movie scans...

This year is going to rock...

Apparently the first chapter of Unicorn Gundam has been released on PSN. I can't wait for some fansubs for it.

Yeah, that'll be cool.

Something's been bugging me.... are Anew and Revive, sister and brother? Revive mentions them of being the same 'type' and they look the same. Can we refer to the Innovators as siblings? That means Tieria & Regene, Ribbons & Hilling and Bring & Devine?

It makes sense. The genetics between certain Innovades is pretty close, closer, in fact, than most siblings, (Except maybe the Super Lockon Bros.) and they never said they weren't related.
