It’s usually an extra months wait for imports from them though. https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/VariationDetails/89859 Thanks, but i wanted to have that kit in august since i have a week off from work and was planning to start building it. I guess i will take my chances on e-bay then. Quote

Mommar Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Does anybody here touch the Real Grades? I just saw it was released at NY. I've always liked Tallgeese III. I might get this. Quote

I don't touch RGs anymore (though this might change my mind), but you should check out Bluefin first to make sure you don't pay up the butt when you don't have to: https://www.bluefinbrands.com/tallgeese-iii-gundam-wing-endless-waltz-bandai-rg-1-144-bas5058023.html Quote

I actually already jumped over there and got it. I like Tallgeese too much. Quote
Lolicon Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 (edited) Oh that's not a bad price for Tallgeese III. I might have to get one. I always thought the original Tallgeese was a wonky looking mobile suit, but Katoki really jazzed it up. Just need some waterslide decals for it. Edited August 1, 2019 by Lolicon Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Man, wish I’d seen bluefin had the MG heavy arms before I ordered thru FromJapan. Oh well. As to RG kits, they’re awesome, with a few exceptions: mostly zeta and sinanju. The early kits like DX-78 and Zaikuon also aren’t nearly as well designed as the more recent stuff. Best ones are probably the Mk II, red frame, and Sazabi, plus the wing zero is a personal favorite. just hope you don’t mind small parts, and be careful with the parts off the B runner, make sure to loosen them up a bit before assembly.

Curious since it's almost August in a few days. I got my shipping notice. I was being impatient lol On 7/30/2019 at 12:41 PM, David Hingtgen said: How many people actually ordered that set, and how many will actually build them all? I got one, built it, and am happy. Sure I'd love to have one or two of the custom ones, but not so much that I'll buy a few dozen extras just for them... Lol didn't buy that 36-set. Got the 2 customs because I didn't want to regret not buying in a few months like what happened with the PBandai Leos. Quote

Mommar Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 The downside to ordering from Bluefin is they charge up front regardless of your payment method. Since somehow getting pulled back into Gundam Wing with these weird variants (Macross the First and The Ride toys might be a smart move...) I tried to look up the other three to see what was different about them. Sandrock just plain starts off looking like the EW version? Quote

I tried to look up the other three to see what was different about them. Sandrock just plain starts off looking like the EW version? Pretty much, yeah. Wing EW looks more like the Wing Zero EW, with different wings/forearms. It gets optional buster rifle ammo packs and a shield. Deathscythe similarly has different wings/forearms, but also different shoulders. Its beam scythe oddly enough is exactly the same, though in fairness don't fix what ain't broke, I guess. It retains the shooty beamy shield thing from the TV Deathscythe. Heavyarms looks almost exactly like its EW counterpart. The difference is in the minute details; the missiles in its packs are lessened as well as the number of guns in its chest. It does come with a big frakk-off gatling gun, though, with belt and ammo drum. Shenlong is exactly the same as its EW movie look. The dragon fangs become a single dragon fang, and it loses the ability to extend that arm like the TV version can (though the fang does have a bit of an extension gimmick built in...). The beam glaive of the TV version becomes a beam trident (which then becomes the double beam trident of the TV/EW Altron). The Sandrock is exactly the same as its EW version. It gets a shield and machine gun that the EW version lacks. The EW version gets that cloak thing instead. Quote

Lolicon Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 I'll take a PG Nu Gundam over the $1000 one coming out in December Quote
Hikuro Posted August 5, 2019 Posted August 5, 2019 Anyone know where there might be a digital scan of the rgm-79gs master grade? I know it’s similar to the colony version until you get to the backpack. Quote
Mommar Posted August 6, 2019 Posted August 6, 2019 The double fin funnel parts come out next month too. https://www.nippon-yasan.com/figures/28639-rg-1-144-double-fin-funnel-expansion-unit-for-v-gundam-limited-edition.html Quote

P-bandai kits always come with waterslide decal sheets. It just says 'now planning' because they haven't finalized this kits sheet yet. Quote

Actually, that's not true, although a lot of people think so(including me, untill few weeks ago).You should check on the official page of the specific product, the description should point out wheter or not they come with waterslides.

Graham Posted August 26, 2019 Posted August 26, 2019 Just Spent the weekend building the Master Grade Jesta. It's an awesome looking kit. Got the LED for the head as well. I'm a sucker for Special Forces MS. Quote
