Don't see why not, same company and all. I would love to get some mini-pla kits, had my eyes on the sentai stuff and the GaoGaiGar kits

You can get GGG for cheap now off BBTS. It's on my list to build. Right now I'm working on the accessories for a 30 mm Dark Gray Alto and I think I need to finish my MG Astray Red frame. I go through these periods where I really want to build, then I don't. I'm still pissed that the arm for Great Exkiser was warped and it sheared off a peg.

Unfortunately I missed out on the pre-orders for Sun Vulcan and I'm really pissed I missed out on Baikanfu but the prices have shot up. A year or so ago I remember Super Minipla kits going for under $100 USD and now they average $125. I did try getting Sun Vulcan off Amazon Japan but they wouldn't ship it to the US now. Hopefully I'll be able to get it later like Dancouga on sale.

Sucks about your Great Exkiser, the kits that have been getting my attention is the Mazinkaiser ones, like the HG Mazinkaiser (Infinitsm) build. There's just not enough space for all the kits I want :lol:

I do like though that there's more out there then just gundam, my super robot tastes are quite varied

Dude, I'm running out of space for the kits I haven't built yet. Is there an easy way to upload pics from my phone? I'd love to share some of my work

I don't know, I used to use photobucket but they went to hell. I need to find a new image hosting service

None of those work for me as I'd have to upload the photo first then pop it in here. I just want to go from my phone to here.

Unless you do it as just an attachment, you can't directly upload (at least not yet)

MG Kyrios is coming.

https://www.gunjap.net/site/?p=357530

Actually surprised they went with Kyrios next since Virtue/Nadleeh was supposedly more popular.

Still hoping for Exia 2.0 that comes with all the parts for R1, R2, and R3.

News Credits: 1350 · Sat Jan 04, 2020 10:58 am

Ah but Kryios transforms... At least that's my reasoning.

News Credits: 332 · Sat Jan 04, 2020 6:21 pm

Still need to get Dynames. On another note my G40 is on the way.

News Credits: 7 · Sat Feb 01, 2020 1:54 am

Just completed my MG Dynames.

Easily beats out the MG Exia, solving the issue of lose joints that plagued it. After this, MG Exia's kit needs a 2.0 that includes not only the Repair 1 but also Repairs 2 and 3. Hopefully we'll see one after Virtue and Kyrios.

Did you hear we're getting a Kyrios?

For the delayed response. Yeah, I knew.

...Anywho, with all this stuff going on, I figured it was time to start another Perfect Grade. So I purchased Exia. From what I have seen in vids, it does solve issues OO Raiser had. Now to play the waiting game since it is scheduled not to arrive until the 1st of May.

You'll have to post pics when you get it! Wish I had the space for perfect grade, don't even have the space for my master grades at the moment.

When you have a place big enough, swing by IKEA or an equivalent store if you have one. They have trophy cases that are perfect for model/figure storage. I've got one of three cases I am installing. The other two must wait a bit though due to the current situation.

I'll give it a go on pics. I didn't have the means to upload when I did OO a few years back but I can now. This will be my fifth PG.

Edit: Looks like it's gonna get to my house by the 13th. Guess with cases lower than projected, they have an opening to get non-essentials out.

It's here! Can't wait tonget started!

Does it come with parts to represent Exia repair or have GN-Swords 3?

I think there are two separate kits for those and a few other Exia variants. They really milked this from what I can remember.

News Credits: 1350 · Mon Apr 13, 2020 5:03 pm

Why am I not suprised

Nothing in the part runners for R1 or R2. I would have thought they'd include the parts for GN Sword III, at least. Repair 2 was basically restored Exia with a new GN Sword.

And unlike the OO Raiser, there's no LEDs in this version. You're having to fork over quite a bit for the LED kit Ban Dai is putting out or sell a kidney for the Lightning Mode version.

As Chuck said, they're definately treating this one like the more recent Strike model kits if you wanted the other Striker packs. There is a Repair 1 kit on sale for $77-$80 that is sold online.

How about a progress update? Endoskeleton frame is built and ready for the armor. Fingers are your typical PG joints that you have to pit together yourself. GN condensers went in much easier than OO's as they don't have nearly as many parts. There are also insert slots available in the model for LEDs.

Looking good! How long did it take you to get this far?

Today was day 4 with the right hand, head, GN Drive, and armor for head and upper torso. I've been breaking it into sections like I usually do since arms and legs can be a little tedious.

Do the instructions tell you to build the frame first?
