NERV Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I was at Walmart today, I had seen the SD gundams there previous times but today i took a closer look at them and saw that they actually seemed to have pretty good poseability and the Wing Zero one was even transformable, I was gonna bu it but I left my wallet in the car and that was too much effort. So has anyone else got em? and what do you think? Quote
Skippy438 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I bought alot of the SD models, but not the figures though. Places are charging too much for them! The models, besides looking better, are also alot cheaper than the toys, only about a dollar or two over their japanese cost if I was to import them. Although I did see the new Gouf at Wal-Mart the other day .... Quote
j_wong00 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I have a few models when they were imported under the "G Generation" line. Quote
joke-machine Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I really, really want to, but come on $9 for one? i will wait till I can get them a little cheaper (around $5-6 seems right). Quote
BoBe-Patt Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I really, really want to, but come on $9 for one? i will wait till I can get them a little cheaper (around $5-6 seems right). Yeah, I think I'll pick these up when they get cheaper. Maybe when nobody buys them at frank and sons, they'll lower the prices and then I'll buy them there! Quote
NERV Posted October 1, 2003 Author Posted October 1, 2003 well actually id condier them to be worth the $9 , if they have the poseability that they seem to, i mean its larger, preassembled, prepainted, and signifigantly more poseable than the sd kits Quote
MacPnoy74 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I've been buying the models instead of the figures myself...I prefer the original JDM 'stubby' SD look compared to their American cousins =) Quote
BYG-DAMN Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 The figures look very cheaply made, in fact they make the models look expensive. Plus the packaging is awful. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I'll buy mself a dozen Pikachu figures before I blow my cash on those cheap imitations of the real SD. Quote
kanata67 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 I picked up two of the sd gundam kits at a local video game store for $6 apiece, and later saw the exact same kit repackaged to be american friendly at TRU for $18! I wouldn't spend that much, but at $6 I consider the money well spent. Took a couple hours to assemble and they reminded me of my SD lintseeker kit. They had polycaps, good articulation, and weapons that fired after assembly. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 that show is an abomination. i won't support it by buying the merchandise. its a horrible show. Quote
Jolly Rogers Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) that show is an abomination. i won't support it by buying the merchandise. its a horrible show. 100% agree. This show is good for me to... Hey BoB, got some time to PhotoShop a Pikachu Gundam? Edited October 1, 2003 by Jolly Rogers Quote
Mechafan Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 (edited) I saw the regular figures in Walmart for $5.88 which was not bad. The only one I saw for $9 was the Deluxe transformable Wing 0. Which to me was worth it for that one. Need to pick one up next time I go there. The only one I thinking about so far is that one. The rest of the figures did not impress me that much.

NERV Posted October 2, 2003 Author Posted October 2, 2003 i just picked up the wing zero, its alright, the bird mode isnt worth doing tho and the legs are less poseable than they appeared, it wasnt worth it Quote
treatment Posted October 2, 2003 Posted October 2, 2003 It's sold out from the Walmart I visited earlier. bastards. Quote
91WhiskeyM6 Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 I tried and tried, but I just can't get into Gundam . Whether it's the Anime or the toys. Quote
Isamu Atreides 86 Posted October 3, 2003 Posted October 3, 2003 Gundam is one thing. this show is not Gundam. its crap. Quote
