Zeether posted:Eh, that's fine with me. The main reason I'd want it is minimal "parts leprosy" for the super mode and having the leg flaps fold out instead of taking them off and trying to get them into a better position is good enough. Also, I'm probably going to have to look into getting some gold Gundam Markers so I can paint the "shining" parts. Can you confirm that what you got was the HGFC Shining? Because I was thinking of getting one myself, and the link here http://www.amazon.com/Bandai-Shining-Gundam-Future-Century/dp/B0052PEUFE/ref=pd_sim_t_1 specifically mentions the Shining Finger Sword and has it in the pictures too.

So Bandai's putting out a set of the HGUC G-Defensor and Flying Armor as accessories for the new RG Mk-II. I'm probably the biggest fan of the Super Gundam you're likely to find, so this is very appealing to me, but what I really want to know is if the HGUC G-Defensor is as well-articulated as the MG-- and I can't seem to find that information available anywhere. Does anyone in here know? Or, barring that, can anyone direct me to somewhere I might be able to find that out?

Reiterpallasch posted:So I just started building my first kit (I helped a friend put together a HG ReZel a while ago) and I had the misfortune to choose the HGUC Qubeley. It's one of my favorite suits but holy poo poo the little red vent stickers went everywhere and stuck to everything except where they were supposed to go. Oh hey, the Nu HWS was my most recent kit. It is pretty great, and I didn't have any problems with anything except for accidentally losing one of the sticker sheets because I'm dumb and it got stuck to the manual. Besides that, really great kit.

I'm assuming "Full Armor ZZ" refers to Judau's suit while "FAZZ" refers to the Gundam Sentinel version, but aren't both kits just the original MG ZZ Gundam with new armor pieces and a new gun? If the kit is accurate to canon, the Full Armor pieces on the FAZZ are part of the body and not extra armor, and thus it can't transform.

Is there a list somewhere of pre-2003 Master Grades that aren't exceedingly terrible? Many of my favorite UC suits came out before that but I've heard so many horror stories about old MGs that I've been pretty wary.

muike posted:I wouldn't be too worried about it, depending on what you want, it's either a good kit in its own right, or it has a 2.0 version. I'm mostly interested in the Alex, the Kampfer, the Ez8, the GP-02, the Super Gundam, the Gelgoog Cannon, all the Zeta Pluses, the God Gundam and both Superiour Gundams. Post 2003, about the only stuff I'm interested in is stuff I know is supposed to be terrible like F91, Crossbone and Victory, or exceedingly expensive like the Destiny Extreme Blast and G-Armor Real Color.

I've gotta have that Red Frame, especially since I can't stand the Red Frame Kai. What are my options for getting online exclusive in the US without the price getting too jacked up? I seem to remember being interested in one of the online exclusive RGs before (the Strike Gundam with the bazooka/knives and no Aile Pack, I think) but the only place I could find it jacked it up to like 50 bucks which is ridiculous for an RG. Hopefully if I look into it before it actually comes out I'll be able to get it for cheaper.

I'm holding off on getting excited for it until I can find out for sure whether they gave the DX reflective stickers or not-- if not I'll probably end up passing on it.

TaurusOxford posted:Cause there's currently a Gundam Wing manga running called Glory of the Losers, which is basically the anime except it's using the mobile suit designs from Endless Waltz. The idea is that they wanted to retcon TV Wing Zero into the EW universe, but not overwrite Wing Zero EW itself. The result is making TV Wing Zero the prototype for EW Wing Zero, hence Proto Zero. This isn't exactly right. The MG they're selling is another Katoki redesign. It's definitely based on the original TV Wing Zero, but it's also different enough to make me lose interest. TaurusOxford posted:http://gundamguy.blogspot.ca/2013/07/hgaw-1144-gundam-double-x-new-images.html#more - looks pretty reflective to me. Huh, I hadn't seen these pictures of it.

All the other parts too could be pretty hollow. It's going to be massive, but probably not nearly as expensive as the Dendrobium Stamen. Doesn't it have the Sinanju inside it, though?
