Oh wow. I didn't realize the MG Hazel was even coming out until I read this thread today. Instant PO at AE. I would have been pretty upset with myself if I missed out on this one.

Noel, its available at AE. Thanks for the reminder to check, was waiting for a cheaper prices at my local hobby shops, but AE seems cheap enough.

Thanks Seti. ;) 

How much again shipping with AE? Is it reasonable for 2 MG Kits?

First time going with AE, so cant comment much on the shipping processing. Anyone with AE exp care to comment?  

Was looking for a chance to get a shipping bundle together with AE, since was mentioned in the threads that multiple p-bandai orders across months, can be bundled together.  Am sure there will be other p-bandai items coming up, like the white drakens or arad's 31, which i want to get some savings on shipping.

Both are available as regular retail kits (you have to buy the Mikumo Deculture Decal kit for the white Draken).

...or do you mean DXes, as I'm now suspecting?

Came across this, thought you all might like. It certainly makes the Lupus Rex more appealing, IMO. It's by Model Bingo, the same GK company making the MG Stargazer conversion kit. Requires the 1/100 Barbatos Lupus Rex as a base. Cost is $88 after shipping, with a release date of August.

The only place I can find it on preorder: http://www.shop2000.com.tw/GK-M/product/p26017201

I need to stop surfing this forum when I have money, that suit looks amazing.

So..... Gyanko's getting a HGBF kit of her own like Super Fumina? Fumina herself is getting another Super version this time with a revised new sculpt with less creepy death stare and cast off armor parts that form their own mini Winning Gundam.

Sure is. Did you use one of their regular-ish xx%-off coupons, or some other discount? Either way, nice grab.

Apparently there's another Gunpla bonus parts campaign going on: https://hlj.com/summer-gundam-2017

The kit was priced at 20% off and coupled with an additional member discount of 10%, the total came out to $35. It's a good thing I looked around before buying this particular MG.

And would you look at that, Altron; Heavyarms; and Tallgeese II & III are all getting reissues:

That'll be a lot of stuff but I think I'll need to get Altron, sandrock and tallgeese 3 to have the full movie set. I wonder if the HRM wing zero will look good with the MG's...

Every time I see the five pre-Kai EW suits together, I get the itch to buy all of them together. They just match so well, way more than their upgraded brethren. That said, I'm tempted to get in on this reissue for all the Kai suits I missed, too...

The HRM Wing Zero is based on the latest manga revision and then further "bulked up," so it'll probably clash with the EW suits it's next to. Except maybe the Tallgeese, that one has some nice thicc proportions. If you get the original Wing Zero EW, you'll have an older model but one that better matches the bishounen look of the OVA.

Too good. Too good.

I've still been waiting 20 years for a 1/100 Sandrock.   Not EW, not retconned.  The original.  THAT is the best-looking version to me, by far.  (Plus it's actually on-screen canon for more than 3 mins).  

Posted

Well... there's this. I'll be honest, though, the original Sandrock never did anything for me. Aside from its more reasonable shotels, it looks... bad, all around. (That goatee...) All of the Okawara Wing designs looked funky in one way or another. It's the only series where I was glad for Katoki versions.

Now on the other hand, if they ever come out with 1/100s of the Maganac/Zodiac suits... And while I'm at it, a MG Serpent wouldn't be too much to ask for, would it?

I never liked Sandrock as a kid. Admittedly it was mostly because I hated Quatre, he was such a putz.

Ok, I'll be more specific:  I want a high-pressure steel-die injection-molded 1/100 Sandrock.   The B-Club kit was rare and expensive back when it was new, it's only even more so now.   And ancient by modern Gunpla standards.  (and it's not even really Gunpla--more like Gunres).

Yeah, I wasn't being too serious with that one. I can't imagine what any B-Club recast must be going for nowadays, to say nothing of any originals. Why Bandai did away with its resin divisions, I'll never understand.
