I'm experimenting with 00 Raiser to see if the main arm of the action base will sufficiently stabilize them without the little arm if you pose them flat-footed. I figure if his fat rear end doesn't tip over between now and when I get home, it'll be safe to use for when I do the Great Shelf of Tippy Bullshit (I want to do MG Unicorn and Sinanju to go with Nu and Sazabi, eventually).

TARDISman posted:I like green psychoframe Unicorn more than the red frame, but Unicorn mode is a close second. Hell, if I get drunk and order a Master Grade Unicorn that'll be the mode it'll stay in since otherwise it'll fall apart at the drop of a hat. Yeah this is what I'm planning on doing when I get around to that part of my "Look at these dope UC Gundams and their red space nazi counterparts" shelf, but I have a bit. At least two more kits before I get there, if not 4, depending on if I do the RX and Char's Zaku sooner or later.

Holy poo poo I can get the 2.0 RX and Char's Zaku for like sixty bucks with shipping. Put it in me. Put it. In me. edit and it always works out the smae by the time I figure in the fact that I have prime and would have to wait on shipping. Curse you, Japan. e2: Is there a way to get a more specific restock estimate than just "December"? BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 17:46 on Nov 4, 2014 |

How's the stand that comes with Nu vKa in terms of being a decent stand that will holid up my plastic space man Jesus and not a "look at this fancy robot pose" thing because I am bad at posing and just want to display a model.

Dang, that's basically all I want to do beacuse I'm boring and hate posing and just want to put the models that I'm going to put the most work into on a Big Gay Shelf of robot poo poo, and looking at the instructions it doesn't look like there's a clip included for an AB.

I mean theoretically neither are ABs but still. I'll have to use one of the U-shaped clips from an AB kit I guess.

It was just a marker, I'm just trying to figure out if it'll get sent back and I'll get refunded, if I'm just straight up out five bucks, what's going on.

If I get a set of .20mm Microns, should I even bother getting that .10mm one on Dick Blick unless I'm like the most autistic dude alive?

BlitzBlast posted:Master and Shining already have release dates, and Rising and Fuuinsaiki were shown last expo. Supposedly this is how they're celebrating G Gundam's 10th anniversary, so hopefully they won't all just vanish into the pit of forgotten prototypes like the GP-01 fb or the Airmaster Burst. And hey, maybe they'll release the full Shuffle Alliance. To quote a movie, Lord, I'm not a praying man, but please, give me a bunch of little plastic robot action figures.

See I found a real good solution to wanting the green frame but not wanting the tippy nightmare of FA Unicorn: Don't put the backpack and poo poo on him. Boom, no paint required, you're welcome, I accept cash and personal checks made out to Dickeye Tennyson.

TARDISman posted:Yeah, but it's an extra $40-50 and frankly I don't want to pay the extra in addition to which I don't have enough MGs with weapons I don't like that much to replace with the Full Armor pieces. Right now it's about a ten dollar difference on Amazon. MG FA Unicorn vKa 2.0 Build Custom Amazing is 82 dollars to the regular MG Unicorn vKa's 70.

TaurusOxford posted:Just because you have buyer's remorse doesn't mean you're allowed to try and stick that on the rest of us. Who said I have buyer's remorse? It looks baller on my shelf. Fauxtool posted:I have spent a ton of money on plastic, but I can comfortably say I never wasted it on something terrible like a neo zeong. Even the dendrobium seems better since its not 50% hollow space. One zeong, as evidenced by the fact that I don't have many HG kits and prefer building fewer MGs. Now, if you asked me if I'd rather have a few MGs, that's a tougher call, because I do really enjoy buidling them, but the Zeong still looks dope.

Mecha Gojira posted:If the tips of your thumbs aren't mostly scartissue at this point, you haven't been in this hobby long enough. I cut off the tip of my index finger the first time I used an xacto. And I mean the tip, a nice little hunk came out and I was all out of bandages so I had to wrap my hand in a towel and drive to the store with one hand and cannibalize a box of Band Aids in the aisle before I paid because I was bleeding hard.

It ends up not looking too bad because so little of it is visible, and it being a brighter red helps the Sinanju pop more. It looks like an actual separate robot thats piloting this giant one, and not just one big thing.

BlitzBlast posted:Also if it's more than 15 years old and isn't a MG you're probably poo poo out of luck. Good thing all I want are MGs at this point. I was just checking because I'm looking at kits for Shelf Part Deux (old school Zeon suits) and a lot of them (Z'gok, Gelgoog 2.0, Zeong) are listed as backordered/out of stock, and I know the HG 00 kits are listed that way and have been for approximately Forever.

Gaius Marius posted:Don't quote me on this but I believe backordered means they're waiting for a certain threshold of people to order the model before they go out and buy them. It's a real crapshoot to how long it'll take. I've ordered backordered stuff that's gotten payment requested in a week, but on the other hand I ordered the ESF GN-XIII last March and it's still sitting there pending. Harumph. To eBay and Amazon I go, I guess.

People who have built the 00 Raiser, what's E16 for? I can't find it in the book, it's not crossed out, and I'm too lazy to comb through that book again. I'm thinking it's maybe a plug for his back?Fauxtool posted:Mandarake is a really good place to find kits way below retail They also don't have the few I rattled off that I know are backordered on HLJ.

BlitzBlast posted:It's the bit that connects the two GN Sword IIs. It's on the page talking about how you can use all the accessories so I guess you just skipped past it. I didn't even think to look at that part, to be honest. I was just trying to finally do the last few things (extra hands, pieces like E16, making sure I'm not leaving anything on the sprues, etc) and assembling my spare AB1 before MG Unicorn gets here tomorrow, and the accessories page is one I skip past by default when I'm doing this poo poo because "Well poo poo I already made all the little doodads and they're finished so what could possibly be in there."

chumbler posted:The Z'gok I'll give you, but Build Burning is dumb butt for butts. I'm sorry. gently caress no, that kit's dope and a real fun build. One of the things Gunpla TV pointed out that I didn't realize somehow was the shoulders are constructed as hinges on the torso, so when you bring the arm forward it actually moves with it instead of the arm sort of pulling away from the torso. It looks really goddamn good. edit and then buy a Neo Zeong. BENGHAZI 2 fucked around with this message at 04:31 on Nov 12, 2014 |
