  1. Has there been a change in the way the Gundam markers work? I bought one months ago and just finally started using it after I bought the Victory Gundam type 2 kit at a local store. And I noticed the ink wipes off REALLY easily making the lines look so less thick than they use too. I remember once that stuff was on there it was on there, you had to take a special eraser or something to knock it down and it smeared. So It's just interesting to see this. I'll take a picture or something to show it, but very interesting. I need to go get a Q-tip though to get those really tight areas.
  2. The price...........MY WALLET! No.......MY CREDIT!!
  3. Interesting, couple places by my apartment have been selling Yamato models under the starblazer name for last month 0_o it's like there's a craze I didn't know about going on.
  4. started watching it 2 weeks ago when i was bored and had nothing to watch on netflix. Next thing I know i was finished with the 15th episode of Season 2 going "WHAT YEAR IS IT?!"
  5. preordered as well since I have Turn A. I'm kinda curious though if they'll do this though: Use the LED system they've done on certain kits to let the translucent parts glow a pale green. That would be kind of neat!
  6. They did? I didn't even notice them, probably cause they weren't so well known to me exactly. BUT I was at least right on my guess of CCA Amuro and Chan near near the fence on the Gundam's left leg. Score 1 for me.
  7. WOW, she can't keep her balance with a rack like that.
  8. Yeah wow so many characters showed up, anywhere from 1-3 characters per series....I wouldn't be surprised if in some way we saw character from every gundam anime we've been given. But it was a fairly fun episode.
  9. Gotta tell you, honestly, that was the WORST ever mash up I've ever seen. Practically NONE of their characteristics or abilities were put to the test against one and other. Chief clearly should of been the winner I think. I know they've made an alternate ending cause "it was close" just like the last one, but k'mon that was just sad.
  10. Thank the moon children! I just hope I still have my Turn A safely tucked in storage soon to be re-released from 3 years of slumber. Maybe it turned into a statue?!
  11. 0_o the flash reflection on bearguy is like evil looking to me.
  12. Yeah, I'd welcome a turn x to compliment my Turn A, it just isn't fair otherwise.
  13. HAH I KNEW IT! Aaannnd when was the last time Star Build used it's Vulcans?
  14. Pff, JDF probably just said "hell yeah i wanna do it" cause he has nothing else to do.....
  15. The original MG Sazabi was nicely done for it's time, a very long time ago. The ver Ka is amazing, blows the original away in terms of gimmicks and engineering. It's a lot to build, and the decals when applied just really enhance the kit further, but they're so many it'll take forever to apply them all. I kind of just gave up for the time being cause it's very time consuming. The only issue I had with my original MG Sazabi was the right shoulder popped out of it's socket allllllllllllllllllllllllllllll the time.
  16. FINALLY! VULCANS WERE USED! Good episode, I liked it, probably one of my favorites for the time being.
  17. don't like trains, and I don't like the suites and I don't like the robots, good god that's a horrible design! Looks like another year of sentai for me gone buh-bye.
  18. oooooooooooooh, those sonavabitches.
  19. Well, after watching the first episode of this i can say that all the magic and success of Gokaiger is completely missing.....completely. i could of written a better western variation of this crap AND would of been epic.
  20. K bit of warning. There's a piece that you need to plug into the gundam X's backpack that also plugs into the Sattelite recievers. This piece while meant to move around is very fragile from the backpack side and can snap super easy. I'll get the 2 part numbers later after I check to see if the super glue did the trick. But if this area breaks it totally ruins the functionality of the Sattelite weaponary. Parts are D 3 and D 6. Very fragile.
  21. actually the "hero robot" has always existed in Gundam. the RX-78-2 was the main focus of the whole Gundam 0079 series, Amuro was the only one with that specific Gundam, and in each series, there's been a variation of the Gundam design served as the hero robot. in some cases there's a blur if you take Gundam Wing for example, originally the hero robot was the wing, then it moved to the zero, but in all each Gundam served a specific purpose making them all the hero. G Gundam obviously the hero was the Shining then the God Gundam. Zeta gundam, at first it was the MK-II then it obviously moved to Zeta, Double Zeta and so forth. so in terms of Real Robot Concept, we're given the fact that you don't need voice activation or super transformations of ridiculous skyscraper proportions. We're given a more realistic approach that the robots serve a specific purpose moving from construction of colonies to warfare. Here in Build fighers, it serves a similar styling as to G Gundam in most ways. They fight, and fight and continue to fight until one of them proves to be the number 1 fighter. BUT, we're gonna market the crap out of different mobile suit designs, and we're gonna have all these really stupid accessories that kids are gonna wanna buy. We'll make Master Grades for the older crowd cause they'll like that, but let's use our 1/144 product so ANYONE can buy Gunpla and make it more affordable and cheaper to produce. I just bought a Star Build strike and as I was putting it together I was scratching my head going "Wait.....why didn't they offer at least stickers for the entire shield?! Wait....Why not just make them all seperate layered pieces to avoid now stickering AND painting?!" The bloody shield is practically stickers and paint! So if anything, it reminded me why i don't buy 1/144's unless they're Real Grade variants. And if you wanna get technical about designs, I think they actually asked for fans to design Gundams that would be showcased in some way, i think that was stated a page or two back during Maoh's battle with Sei and Reiji.
