Big s Posted September 11 Posted September 11 Looks like tomorrow at the U.S. site for the preorder. It lists 9/11 9pm eastern time, I think that’s 6 over here on the west coast, but my math is always a little off.a bit pricey, but I’ve wanted one for a long time, although I would’ve preferred the zeta version, this redesign looks pretty mean. Just too bad it only looks like it has one set of hands Quote

no3Ljm Posted September 27 Posted September 27 (edited) So I was able to get the reissue of Point Factory Metal Frame upgrade from Gundamit/ShowZ for my 12 y/o MG Nu Gundam ver.Ka. Most of the frame are now pre-built versus before you have to assemble it. The only downside of the reissue is that it didn't include the metal V fin antenna which I was actually hoping to get. I only snap built the parts onto the metal frame so not all of it are flushed. Some armor parts probably might need a bit of sanding so it can fit properly. The joints are so tight. Shoulder and feet are ratchet joints so that's good. I do really like the added weight to the kit afterwards making it feel like a Metal Build/Chogokin figure. Though the plastics are so thin compared to the Metal Builds. So yeah. The kit blends very well with the rest of my Metal Builds and the Chogokin RX-78. Too bad though that when I disassemble the armor parts on the arms from the original kit frame it's so fragile that it snapped, that's why the green parts are now exposed on the arm near the elbow joints as shown below. Which made me decide, I'll probably just get another kit if it's on sale. And sure enough that same night I made my decision I found a kit on eBay where the seller is selling it almost half the price. Probably some old stock that he has. Maybe. What's nice though is that he's also selling a HWS add-on parts which is a P-Bandai exclusive so I went and add that on my order as well hope that the metal frame can handle the extra weight after. Seller confirmed that everything is complete. So fingers crossed. 🤞 Once I receive it, I'll do some tweaking on the parts so it will be flushed to the metal frame. No painting. Just probably light panel lining, decals, and topcoat. I don't think this needed some extra detailing since it's already good enough as is for me besides my MB Hi-Nu and Chogokin RX-78. Edit: Any suggestion what glue I can use to glue the Gunpla plastics to metal? Is the Tamiya cement is good enough? Aside from the metal frame, I also have some metal exhaust parts that I want to put it as well. Thanks! Edited September 27 by no3Ljm Quote

no3Ljm Posted October 3 Posted October 3 Can anyone suggest a fixed pose hands for MG RX-93 Nu ver.Ka? And where can I buy one? Thanks in advance. Also just wanted to share this while browsing eBay. Acrylic Wall Mount Stand compatible for 1/100 1/144 Gunplas. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125136515170 Quote

There used to be a set of 1/100 hands from Bandai that came in a few sizes for smaller suits to larger ones. I don’t know if you can still find those, but if not, there’s some 3D companies that sometimes print them like the ones available at newtype hobbies. Quote

I browsed Aliexpress and found this: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256807215881580.html. Looks like it only comes in one color, so I hope I can reuse the original white part for the back of the hand. Quote

Twich An mg kit seems a bit far off if it were ever to happen. Mg kits are so rare that I rarely feel like buying into the 1/100 scale. They rarely pick designs that I like, so I usually just look past the 1/100 stuff these days. Although there are a few designs that I’m surprised got an mg kit though like the seed Zakus and the Ginn although they really made the head way too small on the ginn Quote

If you have Netflix, it’s on there along with all the other seed stuff. I’m about halfway through the first series on a rewatch since it’s been a long time and I’ll finish with the movie after all the shows Quote

Gonna watch it this weekend. Oh boy! Oh boy! Edit: Ok, I checked and it's just in English. I'll probably wait until it becomes available in Japanese too. Btw, thanks for the heads up too.

Btw, thanks for the heads up too. Just checked the audio options out of curiosity and it’s really weird that there are only English options. They basically just have English or English with subtitles that are probably also in English. Definitely an odd one, then again the first seed series has weird audio incidents where the dub disappears for certain characters on a few episodes. Seed seems haunted or something on Netflix Quote

Man I wish Bandai would just do an update of all the older Kits and remove those stupid poseable finger hands from all their kits. So happy the current MG's all have solid hands Quote

Big s Posted October 18 Posted October 18 Got through episode four of the new series on Netflix and while I’m not a fan of the Zaku designs, that Gundam is kinda likeable to me. But how about a kit for that GM. I thought that was a pretty cool redesign in my opinion Quote

Reminds me a bit of a mix between some of the seed stuff with some of the baddies from f-91, a sinanju and a Mandalorian all in one with a bit of a medieval flare. Quote
Big s Posted October 30 Posted October 30 Lots of stuff from the gundam front store getting preorders on the first at the p Bandai website. I’m super excited cause I finally get another shot at trying to get the hg torohachi and they’re also adding the Draken as well. Pretty much both the gundam kits I’ve really been wanting the most Quote
Big s Posted November 2 Posted November 2 Lucked out this time and got my preorders in for the torohachi and Draken kits. I really didn’t care about the other three pages of items that went up for preorder, just happy to get those two at slightly less than scalper prices Quote
Big s Posted November 3 Posted November 3 Torohachi sold out pretty quickly, but I guess the Draken isn’t as popular and still available Quote
