I'm in Hong Kong for vacation and wow there are a lot of places to buy gunpla. Lots of p-bandai items for reasonable prices too. I just wish I had more space in my bag... Also like an idiot I forgot to buy the godhands!  I didn't know there were like 6 types.

I'm trying to decide if I want to get the P-Bandai GN-X GBF version, which is secretly GN-X IV as well, or the GN-X Striker, which is secretly also the GN-X II. More I think about it the more I consider getting both to bash them together.

unpurposed posted:Same here! What places did you go to? I went to Richmond's Shopping Arcade, In's Point and Fook Lee Model. The last one was a much more organized shopping experience but the others were real interesting overall. Mind bogglingly confused by the seemingly infinite Lego resellers though. Also Fook Lee had the 7/11 Astray and Unicorn PGs that I thought real hard about.

Improbable Lobster posted:It's hosed up that 0080 has so many great designs that just never show up again Eh... that's not really true. 0080's designs showed up in video games a lot, namely the Blue Destiny games for Saturn and Rise from the Ashes for Dreamcast. In fact, a lot of them showed up in games way more than they did in the actual OVA. The GM Sniper II is well known for being one of the coolest Feddie grunt suits ever, but it shows up for maybe 5 seconds in the OVA, if even that. 0080 and the 08th MS Team have some of the best and coolest designs because they actually kinda look like military machines. And the makers of Gundam games and model kits definitely realize this. (0080 only has 3 MGs, but HGUC has every MS from the show.)

I'd even put a little money on getting a Cold Climate type sooner or later, considering the other three GMs are coming out.

Video games from 15 years ago count though, right? I mean, Gundam Battle Assault 2 came out that long ago, and we still deserve a Psyco Gundam Mk III.

Kabuki Shipoopi posted:Nankin Hobby in Farmington and RIW Hobbies in Livonia for sure carry Tamiya. I just heard there is a store that sells Gundam in Ypsilanti on Michigan Ave. and Howell who might as well. There used to be a Hobby town in Ypsi near that plaza just off 94, but I haven't been out there in a year or so. Sorry to pull this from like 5 pages ago but, how exactly am I supposed to use this thing? I got one to try it out but I’m gouging the plastic with this thing when removing nubs even worse than an xacto.

But yeah, it's pretty obvious that they were never intended to be integrated with the main universe and nothing outside of veeyogamz has ever really bothered to try.

You want to keep it as parallel as possible to the part you're trying to remove mould lines from. Think of it as a planer. It doesn't take really any force to use because of it's sharp edges. It's more for lines than nubs..

its not at all for nubs. If you dont know what its for you may not even have the problem its designed to fix. Use it like you would use your fingernail to scrape a mold line off. Its hard and the plastic is soft so a very light touch is needed
