I think I've made a mistake. Never brought a kit that came with a disclaimer from the store before

MJP posted:Anyone else in a Gunpla slump thanks to the pandemic? I used to find the most satisfaction working on a model in the evenings after having to spend the day at the office, but in month two of lockdown I realized I was much less stressed and needing to separate. I haven't really worked on anything since then. Extremely yes. For the first few months of lockdown I went on a building binge, but ever since then things have been pretty sporadic. I can't tell you when the last time I built anything other than a Haro or SD kit was. ..Hasn't really stopped me from buying them, though.  E: my most recent build. BE NOT AFRAID

I haven't really worked on anything since then. I rotate hobbies - fall/winter is gunpla time and then spring/summer is gardening time. Really helps me avoid burnout and you still get that rush of “starting something new”.

As a friend of the owners of Gundam mad (and occasional MCM London stall helper), they're very keen on making people aware of things, and they're super customer focused. G and Lindsey are both awesome. Just never lie to them. G has a bullshit detector like no other, and as a huge Plamo hobbyist himself, he knows the hobby inside out. e. also never go drinking with G and Phil from Genki Gear. You won't survive it.

Gundam Mad are the only store I've ever sent an email to specifically to thank them, mainly for making it easy to get into gunpla and not pricing their stuff like absolute psychopaths like some UK stores do. I'll never forgive them for sending me a duplicate Gudetama though

They have really good supply lines, and aside from limited ed stuff they literally have to buy off the shelf in Japan, or buy second hand off people, they run really tight margins. Since old Gundam Mad closed (Gundam Mad we know now used to be Gundam Nation, G bought them out about 10 years back when they decided they didn't have the time to keep their day jobs and run GM and kept the name) they've been the only place in the UK I've dealt with. I'll get out of stock kits I want in a hurry from overseas, but G's looked after me and my pain in the rear end requests for over a decade. They also get amazing quantities of P-Bandai stuff.

Alright cool, my Moon Gundam stealthily arrived this evening; kinda want to do that first but I already started unboxing my Lupus Rex. And also the Lupus Rex seems to have a lot less parts than the Mk II (so does the Vidar oddly enough). I also saw on reddit that there were some complaints with the HG Lupus Rex? What was that all about if true?

While the 100 simply can't.pose without assistance from stands.

They're not out for a few months yet, and it's usually a month or so more before they reach wide release outside of Japan. 1999.co.jp and hlj.com are pretty good for preorders. Prices will be lower than you're used to, but shipping can be a bit rough.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of cases of shipping being as much as the model itself on eBay. I assumed thats the cost of import. Thanks for the info! Guess I'll keep an eye on those couple sites in the future.

Kotobukiya has pretty good licenses though, I mean it sucks they aren't Bandai quality, but nothing else is.

Just looks like the sengoku armor for the Spinatio, angled so that the bit of helmet occludes the center of the eye.
