Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) to be honest...i really wish bandai used this box i might be alone on this one though... Edited November 19, 2004 by Dat Pinche Haro! Quote
zeo-mare Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 to be honest...i really wish bandai used this boxi might be alone on this one though... you are not alone I mentioned it as well. the new box is not as nice as the prototype box, i cannot wait to get it though, it looks freekin awesome.

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 having the strike out there on the box doing some kinda pose sorta makes the box look cheesie...and this box is straight forward...if they were gonna do some kinda box art bandai should've had a painted picture much like hasegawa's boxes for their VF's...but that's just my opinion Quote

I usually use the boxes on my shelves for display the proto looked cool but i do not think i am going to display this box anymore, Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 it sorta makes me wish it had the same box as the Big Scale 1/60 Quote
F360° Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 I like the proto type box too,, I even wish they include those kind or ARt work of Strike as some wallscrolls. Similar to the 3 they show handing on the wall of the display booth. Quote

Similar to the 3 they show handing on the wall of the display booth. i wish it came with a display stand , there was a cool one in those pics it was just a flat peice but it had the fancy writing on it and the strike looked cool on it. i hope the Aile pack comes with some sort of nice display stand like the MG freedom, (I doubt it will) but it would look awesome on a stand Quote
Armor Posted November 19, 2004 Author Posted November 19, 2004 I just put up a self for my PG Strike. Now it just needs to get here! Quote
Hikuro Posted November 19, 2004 Posted November 19, 2004 ........You know I can get it from HLJ....I'm willin to wait.....its just......dammit I can't buy from online without getting caught and fired >< GAH! Someone wanna put up the order so than I can just do the Money Order bussniess? Quote
zeo-mare Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 (edited) it looks like hobby search has all the pics up including the parts and the instructions. it looks like the all the fingers are now on one peice (yay!) Hobby search strike Gundam , Edited November 20, 2004 by zeo-mare Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 i guess there's a wire in the fingers to help it hold stuff...i'm actually surprised bandai hadn't thought of it earlier Quote
Vince Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 speaking of Hobby Search, I orderd some supplies a couple of months ago which were shipped SAL a month ago. I haven't seen anything yet, meanwhile, I've got two separate orders from HLJ last month, and each SAL packages took less than two weeks to get here. And I needed the stuffs!! So far its been slow for me everytime.. Does anybody ever has this problem? Quote
Armor Posted November 20, 2004 Author Posted November 20, 2004 Just got an Email from HLJ saying that my Srtike has shipped but, there is no charge to my credit card yet. I think I got a bulk Email. But will see. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 20, 2004 Posted November 20, 2004 (edited) you'll get charged within the next couple weeks (or up to a month later )...i just ordered some stuff last week and i got an email stating that my stuff has been shipped...this is expected of hlj...don't worry about it Edited November 20, 2004 by Dat Pinche Haro!

rikiryou Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Hmm, couple of months ago from hobbysearch? O_o Mine came in a week's time, so I was pretty impressed with them (despite the fact that they stated it'd take a month or two). Probably depends on where you are. Quote
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Is it going to take a month? I honestly don't know...SAL is funny like that If you're in the US it could take up to a month for delivery. I live on the westcoast (and just 2 and a half hours from Los Angeles) and it takes up to a month for me to recieve my order. For some products, EMS is actually cheaper than SAL. After looking at HLJ, it looks like EMS and SAL are pretty even...there's only a few dollars difference between the two... EMS: 5,400 yen, SAL: 5,000yen There's the shipping estimate HLJ gives for the PG Strike Gundam. I could understand you using SAL since HLJ didn't give any cules to shipping. I feel for you though. When you try to get something you've waited for so long and when it's finally in your grasp, stuff like this happens... Quote

O_o Mine came in a week's time, so I was pretty impressed with them (despite the fact that they stated it'd take a month or two). Probably depends on where you are. Maybe its just me then. just reading you guy talking about to pg strike make me want one, but I think I'll wait till x'mas or later since will probably won't open it until next summer. besides, i bought more than I should have this month, thanks to hlj putting them on sales, plus I'm out of storage space. Could someone do a open box review once it arrived? HLJ is charging about $3 more for shipping EMS vs SAL, that a easy choice. They shipped me a pg mk2 with EMS a while back because it was cheaper than the SAL option I selected, and the postman shown up on Saturday morning. I live in the SE US, it took five business days for EMS, and SAL from HLJ has never took more than 2 weeks. Quote
Vince Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 Is it going to take a month? I say 2 and a half week is most likely, I've my last package last week after only 9 days. Quote
Armor Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 Yeah, thats what I thought. I won some thing on Ebay and it came direct from Japan and it took nine days. So... Quote

Someone wanna put up the order so than I can just do the Money Order bussniess? they do paypal Quote
Vince Posted November 21, 2004 Posted November 21, 2004 i guess there's a wire in the fingers to help it hold stuff...i'm actually surprised bandai hadn't thought of it earlier All pg fingers come they way, I haven't figure out how exactly they do it, but they look like there are mulituple trees pre-assemble together. kinda like the homemade ones modeling mag used to show us. I thinks its pretty cool, print them might not be too much fun since they seems to be made out of the stuff of the pc parts, at least for the ones I've got Quote
Armor Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 The new finger style should be nice. I just love all the new things they are doing with the PG kits. I can't wait to for next PG kit. What do you guys think it will be? Quote

Armor Posted November 21, 2004 Author Posted November 21, 2004 What does the Hyaku Shiki look like? Quote
