Sanity is Optional Posted February 13, 2019 Posted February 13, 2019 9 minutes ago, General Rasp said: I ordered from NY but I also check Hanger Bay ebay store. Both had high shipping. NY always overcharges for shipping, PLUS they add the domestic shipping into the shipping charges for P-Bandai items. Not sure about hangar bay. You can try using proxy shopping with FromJapan, or order from Gentei kits (much higher "item price", but sometimes ends up lower cost for smaller kits, like a pair of HG Leos). Quote
sumyumgoy Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 The NT-1 looks great. I like how you can display the armor that way. It would look sweet in a hangar. Quote
dizman Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 They both look great! Interesting that they went with the ver Ka Crossbone X1 and that inner frame for the Alex's chobham armor is pretty neat. Quote
Duymon Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 The Alex is an instabuy for me. Been wanting one every since the GM Sniper II came out. The EFSF 0080 line only needs the RX-77D and the GM Cold Climate type now hehe. 0080 Zeeks are still sorely lacking though Quote
Big s Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Maybe this is a sign that the zeon suits will be in the near future. I like that x1. It’s worth the purchase for the hands alone. Hopefully there’s gonna be a decal set soon. Quote
JakCrow Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 I received the Super Nova / Model Heart Wing 0 today. Adding to the queue. Quote

Duymon Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 That is like the 1st Dom in 1/100 in a long time O_o Though the Dwadge being P-Bandai has me worried it's going to be using 20-yr old DOM as a base, which would be just as disappointing as the MG Heavy Gundam and Powered GM which also used ancient base-kits :0 Quote

Seems they've added some posability in the hips, thighs and shoulders. I have an old Rick Dom on my desk that has fixed ball joint hips. I really like this version better, but not enough to drop the P-Bandai $$ on it. Maybe I'll just paint mine like this one. Edited February 20, 2019 by Kelsain Quote
kajnrig Posted February 20, 2019 Posted February 20, 2019 What's the difference between this and a Dom? I see some small additions here and there, but it just seems like an ace custom, not an entirely different mecha. Quote

You really can't tell as easily from the front but when you look at it from the back it has much more variation. 4 hours ago, Kelsain said: If you look at this page: https://www.gundamkitscollection.com/2019/02/p-bandai-mg-1100-dwadge-zz-ver-release.html It looks like there have been a couple of updates.

It's more like a DOM 1.5 at that point. Really puzzling that such an updated kit would be P-Bandai O_o Quote
Golden Arms Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 Did anyone catch Narrative last night? Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I realized a couple hours too late, that it was last night. (could have bought tickets) Quote
Big s Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I was working, I saw the preview on the big screen this weekend when we saw Alita and was thinking it was strange to see a gundam preview before the Gunm movie. Quote
hachi Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 I am officially worried for my Space Leo. It's been in PHLPost purgatory hell for almost a week. It's not even the Christmas season why can they be so slow... Quote

If you are in metro and you picked EMS, chances are your item is in Pasay already. Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted February 21, 2019 Posted February 21, 2019 What are some good master grade gundams I could build, I am looking to get one. I build a Freedom already. Where is a good place to buy them from. Quote

I build a Freedom already. Where is a good place to buy them from. Here's my typical suggestion list. The first 3 are nice simple builds that are also nice finished pieces. The latter two are much more involved, but impressive mechanically/visually. MG Jesta (simple good looking build with lots of gimmicks) MG RX-78 Origin (based on the 2.0 RX-78 which is much less fiddly than the 3.0, but with additional weapons and such) MG Ball. Because it's the MG Ball. Also it's cheap and has great detail. MG Sinanju OVA. Much more complicated build than the above, but one of the best MGs. MG Sazabi Ver Ka. Absolute unit, practically a Perfect Grade kit. Pretty much any MG kit from the last few years, excepting the Deep Striker or MG Unicorn/Banshee/Phenix, is a decent enough kit. Quote
Mommar Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I finally took the plunge on a few kits and I was wondering if there were any tools or tool kits you guys recommend to prep/clean up the parts Quote

In my opinion, you really don't need to go out and buy the expensive brand name. You can get some pretty cheap starter kits off Amazon. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 (edited) I use an Olfa hobby knife and Tamiya nippers. Make sure to buy spare blades for your hobby knife, if the blade gets dull you are far more likely to cut yourself, so switch out blades if they dull. Also the sharper the knife, the better a cut will seal back up. Pro-tip: superglue works great as an instant bandage. Edited February 22, 2019 by Sanity is Optional Quote

To add to this, I usually cut the piece off and sand the nubs down but this is if you plan on painting your kit. I only use my knife for fine details or if I can't sand it Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Also, for best results, cut the nubs off as far away from the part as possible, and support it so it doesn't sag or twist against the remaining nubs. After it's removed cut the nubs a second time, trimming them shorter. The big nasty white marks and pitting are caused by stressing the plastic where the nub connects to the part. Quote

TMBounty_Hunter Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Well this is wonderfully unexpected: Bandai actually made a properly wide-chested Zaku? Without ruining it by recycling some MG frame? I wonder what tetsujin will think of this... Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 RE/100 Zaku II KAI? Interesting. I guess no MG Zaku 3.0 then. Quote

I am hoping that is not the case. The item is well under 10k pesos they don't really have a reason to ask for it. On 2/21/2019 at 1:38 PM, chyll2 said: what method of shipping did you pick?

This is not the first time my stuff has been delayed but the reason lately has been insufficient documentation blah3x. Why I am doubly worried is because it is a P-Bandai item and I really, really do not want to cough up the $$$ to buy another one. What if the postman was a Gundam Wing fan??? ^_^; (Unless I suddenly become a millionaire then I'll buy the damn thing 10x lol) Quote
Big s Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 I was actually hoping the Zaku would be an mg because the hands on the recent re’s have been a let down. But at least it’ll go well with the gm’s and upcoming Alex. Quote

I use 2 nippers, a bigger diagonal side cutter for thick runners, then a hobby nipper for smaller ones or clean up. Olfa knife I use for when the hobby nipper can't cut anymore. Quote
Kelsain Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Meh, never been a fan of that Zaku. Now, how about a Gelgoog Jaeger? Quote
electric indigo Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 I loved the FZ's "walking tank" design from the beginning. Quote
Duymon Posted February 23, 2019 Posted February 23, 2019 the FZ is look noice but def gotta replace those hands with aftermarket pieces Quote
