If I continued with my PO, I wasn't sure where to put it so I backed out. And besides, I want the Hi-Nu more than the Justice. So I will make room for that one. Hehehe.

Which I think looks better for a Hyaku-Shiki. Quote

Very similar to this, maybe a tad bit shinier. I'm personally not a great fan of the mirror shiny gold, shows surface imperfection and fingerprints too much. Quote

sqidd Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I'm considering getting a MS. In the anime how many sets of fin/funnels did it have? I'd like to get some. May as well shoot for cannon. Quote

Hi-Nu on the other hand, different color scheme, was featured in the first Gunpla Builders series. It also carries 6 Fin Funnels. Quote

Scyla Posted January 30, 2022 Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) @sqidd my understanding is that the asymmetric version with the six Fin Funnels in the shape of an „A“ over the left shoulder is the „correct“ look. However the piece is expensive so I would go with the look you prefer. I prefer the asymmetric look so I would go with that one. [edit:] Also the Sazabi and the Hi-Nu both have six Funnels each. So six seems to be the magic number. Edited January 30, 2022 by Scyla Quote

Expand I don't think that's the issue here, but the Metal Structure Nu does not come with the fin funnels. So it's more a matter of if you can find the funnel set, two if you want symmetrical look. They are going for up to 3 times the original $200 MSRP at this point. Hopefully with the teased reprint of the MS Nu they will make more, and I can get a second set at reasonable price. Quote

Expand They teased it late last year when the released some more photos of the MS Sazabi. But again, with all of Bandai's teases, who knows for sure. It's likely that it'll be hard to get your hands on it either way. The first time the MS Nu was released for PO people were skeptical of the price point and it was a bit lukewarm at first. Then the reviews came out and suddenly folks wanted one...it's proven that the market is there. They didn't even put a timeline on a reprint, so... I'd go with a surer thing honestly, who knows how long you'd be waiting. Quote

Sqidd buy that MS Nu in the Marketplace , it comes with Fin Funnels too Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 31, 2022 Author Posted January 31, 2022 Hey @sqidd. Yup, 6 separate Funnels as everyone pointed out for the original look. 12 if you want the Double Fin Funnels setup. You should probably hunt down the Londo Bell Engineers Option Part Set as well. Good luck on the purchase. Quote

sqidd Posted January 31, 2022 Posted January 31, 2022 I actually like the look of the 6 better. Asymmetric can have a really good look sometimes. I don't need that ground crew kit. I probably won't even display it with the "dock" or work area stand it comes with. Thank goodness, money saved! Quote
