promethuem5 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Certainly not bc/ the mecha are realistic or dramatic or exciting... I've alwys been with Graham on Gundam stuff.... only gritty stuff like 08th MS Team, with some realistic militatia to it... or 083 bc/ it's only got the BEST freakin Gundam designs out there.
Graham Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 It started with a Rx 78 and for sure they will make a "suppa cool" RX 78 for the 100 issue... ANOTHER RX 78... and the funny thing is the design sucks and it doesnt matter how hard they try IT will suck anyways. I also think the 100th MG will be an RX-78, it's a no-brainer really. I also agree with Sebastian that the RX-78 sucks. One of the ugliest mecha ever IMO. Graham
promethuem5 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I'm not a huge fan... some of the alternate paint schemes are interesting, but as a mecha the way they deliver it, it's just a clown-colored bland design.
ShadowerV2 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Be nice if they made a kit of the Nu Gundam from the Evolve series.
Sarensaas Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Why is Bandai pushing Crossbone? I dunno, they should be pushing more Gundam Sentinel!
Black Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 (edited) Why is Bandai pushing Crossbone? I`m also wondering why ? action figures, Kits and they`ve appeared in SRW-Alpha 2 and SD Gundam Generation for the PS2 with their own BGM. Everybody believed from all of this that there was going to be CB-Gundam series or an OVA but it never happened. Cilps with with CBG in SRWA2 and SD Generation SD Gundam Generation - Gundam Sentinel Edited March 5, 2007 by Black Valkyrie
ShadowerV2 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 they should be pushing more Gundam Sentinel! Agreed!
Jolly Rogers Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Why is Bandai pushing Crossbone? Probably because a sequel in manga form was recently serialized in Gundam Ace magazine, making the series 'current' again.
Fort Max Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Bandai sometimes moves in mysterious ways but mostly just circles.
Fly4victory Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 only gritty stuff like 08th MS Team, with some realistic militatia to it... Can really relate with the gritty ground mech!
Black Valkyrie Posted March 5, 2007 Author Posted March 5, 2007 I also agree with Sebastian that the RX-78 sucks. One of the ugliest mecha ever IMO. Graham Nope it isn`t, for me its the color.
Vince Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Nope it isn`t, for me its the color. Is it close to 30 yrs for gundam? I think It came out in '78. We should save up out money for the 30th anniversary release of Rx-78.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 i've been wanting to get this kit... http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN946745 for a while now... does anyone have any pictures of the kit or anything?

Apollo Leader Posted March 15, 2007 Posted March 15, 2007 Gun-DAMN! ToyboxDX's own Matt Alt and others build Bandai's 1/12th scale, $3,000 RX-78 Gundam. If only I had $3,000 to throw around for one. http://toyboxdx.com/brog/?p=112
Black Valkyrie Posted March 15, 2007 Author Posted March 15, 2007 Nice but I prefer this one : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sws5DhhoTpI...ted&search=
GRAND CANNON Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 (edited) We have the in-between kits until MG #100 arrives in August: This month's hobby mag news MG Char's Zaku Ver. 2.0 - w/ loading crane, May, 4,725 yen (#98) MG Char's Gelgoog Ver. 2.0 - July (#99) HGUC Ground-Type Gundam - June BB Senshi Blu Duel HCM-Pro Destroy Gundam - May I'm very interested in what they do to the Gelgoog. *edit* Early (small) pics: Edited March 21, 2007 by GRAND CANNON
azrael Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 So Zeta #3 doesn't count? Ok..... RX-78-2 ver. 2 where art thou?
GRAND CANNON Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Because it's a 'Limited' kit, it's not part of the countdown. Man, do I hope that #100 is more than a Gundam v2.
Fort Max Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Whadaya know, the 100th MG will be gold plated, From Gunota, "With the 98th (Char's Zaku II ver 2.0) and 99th (Char's Gelgoog ver 2.0) MG kits announced, the "MG No.100 Countdown" campaign is now underway. Sponsored by Gundam Ace, Dengeki Hobby Magazine, and Hobby Japan Magazine, readers can submit their guesses as to what the 100th will be on a postcard that comes with each issue. Bandai will randomly give away 100 gold-plated versions of the 100th MG kit to contestants with the correct MS. The 100th MG will be announced at the Shizuoka Hobby Show (May 17-20th)."
promethuem5 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Ha, what a lame-o give away... sounds like they're gonna need more than 100 if it IS the RX-78-2
big F Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Whadaya know, the 100th MG will be gold plated, Cue hundreds of knock offs apearing on ebay. I can hear the electroplaters warming up already.
Noyhauser Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Pfft. All of you are ignoring the really important annoucement. A HGUC RX-78G Gundam from 8th MS team. You don't know how long have I been waiting for this one (and you KNOW that the RGM-79G is coming out next.)
promethuem5 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Hey, that'll be pretty cool too! The MG 78G and 79G aren't that great... got all the features, but the hands dont stay on well and the head for the 78G is humungous.
GRAND CANNON Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I said it before . Thankfully it's only a limited kit, though.
Fort Max Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Thankfully it's only a limited kit, though. And they haven't confirmed that it's an RX-78 just yet.
LePoseur Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 (edited) A little bit off the "Who's the 100" thread, but having just finished my Hi-Nu this Friday, I can't help but be a little disappointed. The Nu and the Hi-Nu are two of my all time favorite MS's, but I really felt some things were lacking. The Funnels are the source of my main frustration now, as their connection-point to the body is weak and they fall off with the slightest movement (I'll have to put pegs in there to help them stay on I guess). The clear plastic mounts for them are too weak to support the weight as well. So if you do mount them in flight on the stand, they'll last for about a day so so before the start to droop, and after 48 hours I have two that are almost touching the ground. Again, no big problem, as I can get sturdier replacements, but still, I really feel like why should I have to. The big problem though was the kit was just not that much fun to build. Maybe it's because I was just in a bad funk, or, more likely, it has to do with it coming right after I built the Mk II ver 2. Now that was a fun kit! Looking back at how the old Mk. II was built, I was in constant amazement at how much it had improved. I didn't feel that at all with the Hi-Nu. Don't get me wrong, there are improvements over the regular Nu, but it just didn't do it. In a way, I really wish they would have made the PG Nu first, as all the MG kit ver 2.0's that have come after the PG have had significant improvements over the original MG. *sigh* just venting I guess, as I would by it again anyhow. Still... Hope you guys feel different. Edited March 26, 2007 by LePoseur
kung flu Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Models I've ordered and on the way:- MG ZZ Gundam MG F91 1/100 Turn A Gundam HG 1/100 V1 & V2 Gundam I was worried the 100th MG kit was going to be one of the non MG kits I've ordered, I would have been annoyed if it turned out i only needed to wait a little bit longer for MG versions. But now we know its going to be gold witch means it could be based on a yellow or gold suit in my opinion. Does the 100th MG actually has to be from Gundam? Could it be from another show like the Patlabor MGs.
Black Valkyrie Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 I`m sure its a RX-78-2 but I wish for a MG Turn A Gundam
