The Third Party Gundam Thread

There are lots of rumors going around now.

Not sure what to believe. A few minutes ago, saw a report about air pollution index in Wuhan is sky-rocketing. The conspiracy theorist estimated the burning of 19,000 human body could be the cause of this.

19K people dies?

I dont want to anger the macross gods so I will keep this brief. I find it hilarious others that question any narrative to be labelled a conspiracy theorist and then you see historical artifacts are discovered to open the truth of things. Trust me Im no alien or flat earther or we didnt land on the moon but there have been a bunch of coincidences that seem contrary to the leading narratives. China must save face. It has to present itself as "AWESOME" and beyond refute. Whats going on is not good. Just the R-Naught alone is an indicator this is not good. The research logs from research databases suggest HIV inserts. Nevermind in Aug the RCMP (CIA) lead out the chinese lab technicians from canada's only BioLab leve 4 were escorted out and shipped back to china...2015 US patents the virus and talks about using BAT RNA..etc etc etc. I am simply looking at the events playing out and it doesnt match the actual information from what is being promoted. Thats it. And i am merely pointing out that you may want to consider getting refunds on items you may have paid in full. It doesnt seem like they can get their supply chain in order....

That is all im going to say on the issue. Back to 3rd Party Gundams Please and thank you

I don't believe for a second it's any of those numbers. 

If you want to watch something horrifying watch Chernobyl on HBO. In the first episode a party boss gives a "pep talk" to the lower bosses about how it's going to be handled and what they're going to do with the population "for their protection".  That's my impression of how this is probably going down in China.

NO worries man its all good hard to tell sometimes with words

19K people? It's adorable that you think it's that few.

No, I don't believe it. It is what the conspiracy theorist said now.

Some had been quoting number in the 40K range.

I laugh now because, these numbers are just pulled out from whoever's "back end".

Show me proof I say before making any claims.

Sometimes the damage from people panicking is worst than the actual harm of the cause of the panic itself.

[kkx]

Yup, enough OT.

I have nothing paid in full no shipped now. So only risking $20 of PO money. So will wait and see.

[Alphahorizon]

Yeah I'm holdng off ordering.more feo. ShowZ for the time. I have the Strike Gundam that was shipped o  the 18th of January. I have sent them 2 messages asking why theres been no change to it other then " Collected at Post" but I assume I know why and have gotten everything else i ordered from them. So no worries on the wait.

I've got one more inbound in the next few days. It's St Louis right now. I think I'll hit that one with a little disinfectant because..... why not.

I need that! Not for the virus outbreak, but for when I receive my credit card statement after a few weeks of PO craziness.

Hey i did get a package today that seemed "trackable" thoughout its shipping life cycle. The Postie gave me a strange look when i asked him to leave it outside after I signed for it. Put on the gloves and mask took it out of its package and massaged it in ooooh baby Purel in the garage ALL GOOD NOW

Oh I just got the 1/72 MoShow Strike that was released a few years back. Poison Toys/Moshow are by far my favorite third party creators right now. This thing is was worth the money for sure.

I think I saw some new weapon (sword and launcher) pack for this.

Would be nice to have a complete 1/72 perfect strike. Where did you get this? I search around a few days ago but can't find anything that does not cause over $300.

I ordered that one to. There was a seller on Ebay that had 4 of them for 225.00 each.I bought one, they took the remaining three down. Relisted in CAD for 40.00 more. Sent me an email to the effect "Cant ship for some time, may give refund if you want." I said no I will wait. If this one is like the Strike it is going to be amazing.

Found this one after digging deep: https://www.pavaykamall.com/poison-toys-172-scale-mechax103-hurricane-buster-gundam-figure-in-stock-p-474729.htm

But it is likely a scam.

I couldnt find anything about that website. Good or bad to tell you the truth. I think it is a scam. Maybe not but no reviews...

@kkxI went ahead and ordered the Blaster and sword for the strike. This is maybe one of my more favorite toys. It is solid and beast as far as build. After watching a few vids on the blaster/sword pack additions I thought it was a no brainer.

Nice, looking forward to see photos of the complete package from you.

[Alphahorizon]

Thanks! I will take some once those two items arrive and I get a little "inner child" time with it. After a further inspection of that website you linked I recall stumbling across it about a month ago. The prices are just to good to be true. In my youth I would have made a purchase there. But now, and after a few burns I just dont think its a legit site. And after reading their FAQ portion I am even more suspect.

The original Moshow Aile Strike's backpack has a set of hidden holes for the launcher and the sword, with minimal modification of thickening the pins, you can create the Perfect Strike.

 

[Alphahorizon]

Now I really cant wait to get the other 2 sets to compliment the Strike

[kkx]

After I glued the thumb, the hands are much more manageable.

Here are the crappy phone camera, poor lighting photo of the two latest arrival from Show.z:

Knowing you are the hardest of hardcore collectors, I trust that you trust them. I will IM the name to keep it private to confirm its the same seller.

I trust that I ordered it once and one was sent. I wouldn't give them my dog to take care of for the weekend,

I got my MotorNuclear White Dragon (phoenix) today from ShowZStore, finally. Was scheduled to arrive the 6th but usps posted no updates, then yesterday the 12th they posted that there was an incomplete address error. And then today they stated the item was undeliverable at 8:14am and to reschedule a redelivery (but did not provide the rescheduling link) or pick it up in person. I checked the security cams and noone attempted to deliver anything within the 20 min time frame around 8:15am. I had to go down to the post office to pick it up in person, and wait for the clerk to search for it for 30 mins. The outer brown box was wrapped in a black plastic bag with ShowZStore's packing taped and the affixed shipping label was 'typed' (not handwritten) on the broadside of the box. The shipping label looked like it had seen a fair amount of water, but was still completely legible... so I'm not sure what USPS' reasoning for an incomplete address. The outer box looked like it got tossed around with other boxes (and maybe kicked, lol), but the item's package remained well intact. The only damage I could see was one or two dented/bent points/tips. Otherwise it's a great item!

The base is even mold with two colors, black and a clear smoke gray.

I received the Sinanju yesterday and got the chance of opening it earlier. It somehow reeks some smell and I just want to ask if that the smell of lead paint or just the paint itself? Sorry to ask. I’m aware of what lead paints do but I have no clue on how they smell. This is the first time I received something like this.

Anyways, I haven’t assemble it yet since I don’t have a space to display it and I’m not sure if I can easily disassemble it afterwards.

It's the smell of corona virus. Lol!

Just air it out or you'll probably just get used to the smell and not notice it.
