Gotta be honest, I don't really care much for it in either mode. Normal mode is just boring because it's solid white all over, and Destroy Mode just looks weird to me. It might be because I've never seen the OVA, but I just don't really get the appeal of the suit in an aesthetic sense.

Got an e-mail from HLJ earlier that my Lightning Gundam is now in my Private Warehouse and ready for shipping. I also ordered the Ez-SR at the same time, but didn't receive a notice about that one; checking the HLJ page for the Ez-SR mentions that it's not coming out until the 30th. Does Bandai actually wait until the last day of the month to release certain kits, or is it more likely that they're just waiting until after the actual episode with the Ez-SR airs next week?

Just got a shipment of kits in from HLJ. This month's haul: HGBF Lightning Gundam HGBF Gundam Ez-SR HGAW Gundam X HGUC GM Quel Just a heads up for anyone considering ordering the Lightning Gundam: it does not include the parts needed to transform it into its flight mode. If you want to do that, you have to purchase the Lightning Back Weapon System kit, which is an extra 6 dollars (5 euros) or so, plus whatever impact the extra box would have on the final shipping & handling fees.

Warmachine posted:edit: Oh man, the Ez-8 team from the last episode of Build Fighters is getting a kit, and it's got feddy radar dishes. http://www.gundamplanet.com/hgbf-ez-sr.html It's already out; it's one of the kits that I got in the mail today. It's actually a pretty neat setup; it includes all the parts needed to build it in any of the three configurations they had in the episode. Essentially, it's the same body for the all three configurations; the only parts that vary between them are the right knee, the forearm bits, the shoulders, the head, the backpack options and whatever weapons you give it. The nice thing about that meaning that there'll be spare parts leftover for you to customize other kits with.

If we're tossing out recommendations for a good entry point, I'd suggest Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, especially since most of the fight scenes end with the damaged suits mostly intact as opposed to exploding dramatically for no reason.

I can't actually vouch for the quality of AGE having never seen it myself, but pretty much everything I've ever seen about it agrees that it was pretty lovely, aside from the mobile suit designs, which were actually pretty cool. As for 0083, I suffered through it up to about episode 8, at which point I gave up on it. Despite owning all four DVDs, I've never watched it to completion because of just how much stupid contrived bullshit occurs to keep the plot rolling along.

TARDISman posted:They could sort Qubeley under Zeta, which is having its 30th anniversary this year. That's what the prediction is based off of. ZZ's also on the prediction list since it's the next Gundam in UC to make an RG off of. That being said, ZZ would be ridiculous for an RG unless they finally figure out transformations. To this day, I still believe that Tomino requested the designer make the ZZ's transformation as gimmicky and complicated as possible as a giant middle finger to Bandai.

A few days ago, my brother asked me if I'd be willing to part with some old, unopened G.I. Joe figures I picked up back when the first live action movie came out. I said sure, since it's not like I was ever planning on doing anything with them. In exchange, he ended up buying me a Master Grade Exia Dark Matter, which came in today and he just dropped it off with me a few minutes ago. Looking over the instructions, I notice that there's an option for building the GN Drives with LEDs... which LEDs would I be looking for in order to make this work?

TaurusOxford posted:Because Bandai loves making web exclusives out of slight mold edits to kits and figures. It's hardly out of the question that Leopard could be made web-exclusive. BlitzBlast posted:Yeah, because the Crossbone Maoh changed a significant amount of stuff from the X1. The Leopard da Vinci just changed shoulders and took off the arm gun. I'm hoping for a general release, but I'm not expecting it. So you're saying that even though they've done general releases for the Gundam X, the X Divider, the Double X, and the Airmaster, they might not do a general release of the Leopard because it's just a slight tweak to a mold for a kit of a suit that had a grand total of around a minute of screentime?  BlitzBlast posted:The ZZ version of various Unicorn kits say hi. Weren't the vast majority of the ZZ suits that showed up in Unicorn just generic grunt cannon fodder suits, though? Again, that strikes me as being a bit different than not doing a general release for one of the three lead suits from a full-length* series just because it would be a minor cosmetic tweak.  *Granted, it was cut short, but it was still intended to be a full-length TV series, as opposed to a 7-hour OVA series that exists for no other reason than to keep milking the pre-CCA UC suits.

BlitzBlast posted:...Yes? Those are some astoundingly bad examples by the way; the GX, Divider, and DX are lead Gundams, and while the Airmaster shares v-fins with the Build mkII that's about it. My point is that I fail to see why they would shaft one of the three lead suits from a series based solely on, "Well, it only has one or two tweaks from this mold we're doing for a kit based on it that showed up for about a minute in the very last episode of Build Fighters Try. There's no way there'll be an actual market for the original Leopard besides a few diehards who'll pay through the nose for it as a web exclusive." That just dosen't make any sense to me. I mean, hell, why even bother making a kit for the Leopard Da Vinci if they weren't eventually planning on reusing the mold for an HGAW Leopard and an HGAW Leopard Destroy later on down the line?
