zeo-mare Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) Out of your 2 choices, I'd hope for a Legend to break up the same ol' "everything Strike, Freedom, of Destiny" frame of mind....Hopefully this report in the I. Justice does solidify. 363648[/snapback] more cool stuff, the Destiny is looking real good edit I do not know why the picture is coming out so small, i will upload it the old fanished way as well. Edited January 24, 2006 by zeo-mare
zeo-mare Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 (edited) more new cool stuff, the new HCM Pro, by the way does the Green Divers Asshimar have a white racing line on it or is that just a light reflection on the blue? Looks like a reflection to me. Edited January 24, 2006 by zeo-mare
GRAND CANNON Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 It's a white pinstripe. Here's another shot of it at the Radiocon fair last year:
zeo-mare Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 thanks, that pinstripe looks like it needs some wotk, it looks kind of awkward and warped in the UFO mode. chris
zeo-mare Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) wow what a great day for gundam collectors tons of new info, Hobby Link Japan has confirmed the G Gundam and Nobel Gundam Fix, but nothing prepared me for Junes release, the Zeta II Z2 Gundam is next, this is awesome news it is a great design and very rare, i wanted to get the 1/144 Bclub kit for around $180.00 this will definetly save money I cannot wait to see the prototypes. they also confirm these, ( i was hoping the Bacue was Extended Msia) MSIA BuCUE MSIA Gouf Ignited Production MSIA Extended Freedom Gundam MSIA Extended Justice Gundam chris Edited January 25, 2006 by zeo-mare
Lynx7725 Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) If you guys can get it, go for the UC Arms Galley #1. These weapons are quite detailed, and are to scale with the 1/144, especially eMSiA. The Zaku II 120mm cannon is more detailed than those which comes with the eMSiA Zaku II. The gems here are the 90mm, the 175mm cannons, and the Kampfer shotguns. I think the distribution per box is fixed though, as I got exactly 2 of each for my single box. That meant 120mm cannons.. which I have absolutely no idea what to do with. Anyone wants to trade for shotguns and 90mm? EDIT: Removed pic because HLJ blocked leechers like me. Edited January 25, 2006 by Lynx7725
zeo-mare Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 hi do you have them yourself? if so can you post pictures of the actual product? sometimes they always look better in the production photos on sites then they do when you get them in person. by the way you can not use pics directly from HLJ you get a error message. so your picture you posted in not showing, it just says picture stolen from HLJ
Lynx7725 Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Hah, figured HLJ would be that smart. They had problems with leechers like myself. I'll edit the post above to remove it. Yes, I have the product. The promo pics are pretty accurate, but what they don't tell you is that they broke the weapons down into individual parts which you have to assemble. Not very hard, but some pieces are small and can disappear.

Lynx7725 Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 I'll see what I can do later tonight. A Zaku IIF with twin 90mm looks... good.
Black Valkyrie Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) I heard that contain some die-cast parts. It`s strange now I`m shifting to from MSIA/EMSIA to Gunpla, before it it was the opposite. Edited January 25, 2006 by Black Valkyrie
Lynx7725 Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 Sorry folks, no photos tonight. It's been a tough night for me and I still got some ways to go. And yes, parts of the weapons are diecast; normally the magazines.
zeo-mare Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) the HCM Pro Zaku Warrior Set and Gundam fix Guncannon are out, is anyone getting them? I want to get one but i think I need another Ikea case first my two are now overflowing and i am having a hard time fitting anything. I am definetly grabbing the Fix however very soon Gundam Fix Guncannon http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN940330 Chris Edited January 25, 2006 by zeo-mare
Black Valkyrie Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 No, I`m waiting for official announcement of HCM-Pro Turn A.
GRAND CANNON Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 (edited) Here's some auction shots of the ZAKU set box configuration. The box with the Wizard Packs can be switched-out for the Impulse to bring the team together. Edited January 25, 2006 by GRAND CANNON
zeo-mare Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 very cool i will probably just leave it the way it is, or put the normal Zaku Warrior in it. chris
Fort Max Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 the HCM Pro Zaku Warrior Set and Gundam fix Guncannon are out, is anyone getting them?

I am definetly grabbing the Fix however very soon Gundam Fix Guncannon http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN940330 Chris 364059[/snapback] I would have but for three reasons, 1) money is tight, 2) I can't be bothered & 3) the vertiable downpouring of news from japan this week makes me think I should really save some money.
Lynx7725 Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 Ok, not much time tonight, just some very rough shots. Please ignore the cluttered background as much as you can.
zeo-mare Posted January 26, 2006 Posted January 26, 2006 very sweet i may try to pick a few of these up. chris
F360° Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 those guns looks pretty good,, is the cyliner thing on the Shotgun metal?
Lynx7725 Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 IIRC, no, it's plated/ chromed plastic, but I'll check again when I'm at home. Surprisingly, the shotgun is the weapon with the least (if not none) diecast. The pics only show the shotgun, the 90mm and the 175mm. It doesn't show the three (!) variety of 120mm cannons that the kit comes with -- if I got time later tonight I'll take more pics. Also, the weapons doesn't come with any attachment points. I got the shotgun to hang on the back of the leader Zaku by using the bazooka attachment part, but that's very loose and prone to falling out.
Black Valkyrie Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Hi, I`m looking for the MSIA Z Gundam 2nd ver. transforming guide if any of you still have it.
GRAND CANNON Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 A GW member (akum6n) has found some new HCM Pro goodies: New pic of the Hambrabi - which shows some decals/stickers - this a first for HCMPros? New pic of Green Diver Asshimar which will be "limited", but just how and why are unknown right now. Also a new addition of a Titans Hi-Zack for April. Even comes with a flag! You also know this means an EFSF verison will be showing up someday.....maybe even a Hobby Hi-Zack?
zeo-mare Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 great pictures the Hambradi and Hizack are definetly mine when they come out, i do not like the new Asshamair however so i will pass of that one, i would love a AOZ Hizack however, maybe we will get lucky. chris
Black Valkyrie Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Impressive, Green Diver Asshimar color is better than Zeta version could the Green Diver Zeta be behind ?
Fort Max Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Hambrabri is looking much, much better painted, the optional stickers are a nice touch. Good to see that Bandai does think about the little things it can do to make a figure standout. Speaking of which, the Hi-Zacks white flag accessory is inspired, mad props to them for even thinking of including that. OTOH, I curse them for their overzealousness when it comes to limited items.
GRAND CANNON Posted February 1, 2006 Author Posted February 1, 2006 (edited) Impressive, Green Diver Asshimar color is better than Zeta version could the Green Diver Zeta be behind ?365503[/snapback] That would be nice, indeed.OTOH, I curse them for their overzealousness when it comes to limited items.365524[/snapback] I bet they'll make up for it with an EFSF release that has a nice weapons loadout. Edited February 1, 2006 by GRAND CANNON
F360° Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 Thanx for the pics GRAND CANNON. I just love the HCM pro line, with every release they come up with something new or extras. The turtle Decal and the extra white flag crack me up a bit I gave up on the wait and just brought almost every one of them,, the bills will come soon
Fort Max Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 There's only a few pros I don't own and I think they're all repaints with the possible exception of the Seed ZAKU pair.
Anubis Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) This new batch of HCM Pros look great. Especially the Hi-Zack! I am thrilled they're doing that one now. The flag on the Hi-Zack is a great bonus too. I'm not evena big fan of the Hambrabi, but have to admit the HCM Pro of it is sweet. Hope they do a Marasai too. The Green Diver's Asshimar looks real nice. I do wonder how "limited" it will be. The Char's Rick-dom was sorely limited. Was that a contest item or something? Even if the Asshimar is released about the quantity of the limited ver. plating Master Grade kits I would expect prices to climb on that Asshimar so get it right away if you want it. Excellent line these HCM Pro's have become. Edited February 2, 2006 by Anubis

Anubis Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) The HCm Pro Char's Rick-Dom was gorgeous. I saw it on ebay a couple of times, always for around 100 bucks + shipping. Not surprising given there were so few of them actually produced, and all lotteried off. I gave up on that one and ordered the Zeonography with BBTS's sale. I'm undecided on wether I'll get the Green Divers Asshimar. I should decide soon thogh just in case. Edited February 2, 2006 by Anubis
zeo-mare Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 I just ordered the Gundam Fix Guncannon, and the EMSIA MK II Titan off of HLJ I wanted to get the 1/144 Gundam Seed Akatusaki but it just went out of stock Does anyone know someplace reliable with fast shiping that has it in stock?, i got 2 of the guncannons so i could pose both of them side by side. i will post pictures when they come in chris
aaajin Posted February 2, 2006 Posted February 2, 2006 (edited) speaking of guncannons, here's a funny video that some guys in the 70's did as a parody to the 1st gen of Gundam. You guys just have to see it! 3D Gundam Edited February 2, 2006 by aaajin
