Phew i gotta lie down...battle of heart v wallet has already started a beat...

1) Why do we still not have a Master Grade Justice Gundam?

2)New MG ZZ gundam=awesome; ZZ ver.Ka=awesome; not even a Katoki profile shot to show off=lame.

3) What is HRM again and should I be excited?

Posted

HRM = pre-built frame and you assemble the armor on like the barbatos...http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10367059/10/0

The frame has moving pistons if m not mistaken, so having something like that on a wing kit, i can only imagine what they will do..

Only downside was the HRM barbatos was kinda expensive,wanted one until i saw the price..

However if they pull out a nice HRM from the wing zero, well thats the heart talking again...

The barzam has never been a favorite design, but the more I look at the hg kit the more I want it. The efreet hg is probably my favorite of the new announcements. I'm hoping the 08th ms team sniper will be a standard release.

I hope I get more spare time to build these.

From the few pictures we have it does indeed look like the Zeta Revive is capable of perfect transformation. Regardless of if it's a floppy mess or not I love the proportions. I'm glad that the Re100 Efreet was such a success we are getting a 1/144, it looks as if they just scaled down the 1/100. The HG Barzam is an instant buy, hopefully they make the Refined Barzam as well.

The HGUC Efreet seems like a really odd choice to me. The RE100 came out just last year(?) and is still fairly popular(?). Are they going on a Blue Destiny Revive theme or something for the next few months that would justify this? But... yeah, just seems odd.

I'm digging the Ground GM, though, for the most part. It could probably benefit from a kitbash with the old 90s HG/Ground War Set head/HGUC Ground Gundam (the same way the Ground Gundam benefits from a kitbash with its 90s HG counterpart), but overall it's looking like a nice package. I'm hoping the Sniper variant comes as a standard release, too, instead of P-Bandai.

I'm like %90 certain that's a custom build.

Definitely looks like it to me, there is no color variations on the white.

A CnP from my GE post:

A Black Friday Barnes and Noble 30% off any item coupon, not active until this Thursday online/Friday in-store: BNBFRIDAY16

Though it seems to be working now, too. Have at it, folks.

For reference, a quick search for "Bandai" + coupon resulted in the Movie Realization Sand Trooper selling for about $60 shipped (MSRP of 7800 yen).

MG Freedom 2.0 for ~$40 shipped.

The website doesn't allow you to differentiate between third-party sellers and BnN itself, though, so seeing if something qualifies is a bit of a chore.

EDIT:

Compiled a list of eligible kits (based on a search for "gundam" under Hobbies and Collectibles, may have thus omitted some items):

Dunno where else to put this, but here's some Kotobukiya plamo goodness (also their figures, if you're interested in that).

I see Frame Arms, Muv Luv, Armored Core, Super Robot Wars, Metal Gear, GitS, and Ikaruga being represented, among others.

Kotobukiya is having a fantastic sale for model bundles. 50, 100 and 200 dollar bundles. They lower the price on some kits. Like all of the FA Girls are 30.

https://www.kotous.com/retailstore/holiday-sale-9.html

Bundles are towards the bottom of the list.

:huh::blink::shok: ... at that price ... :wacko::ohmy::bigshok:

Sheesh!!! $450!!! Might as well go to $500+! Cant believe that the HAVE to announce the Phenix now of all time! Why not a Green Pshycoframe Banshee yet? Or even New PG like Barbatos, Or Nu Gundam??

Posted

I'm lucky I still have a backlog of kits (have trouble finding space for them). I don't have an urge to buy anything Gundam but next year might be a different story...

Posted

how does someone do video reviews on Youtube for this long and still have such a crap mic? Anyways the gold on the knock off looks trash compared to the vac chrome as does the brown frame parts.

Posted

I prefer muted gold if done correctly. For bandai, since they are using P-bandai route, I wished they have offered the same kit in puke gold they use for cheaper kits. It will be a good kit to those that paints their model.
