QUOTE(wuwah @ Feb 3 2010, 09:27 PM) yeah, but the price is a lot higher than ver ka.. slightly higher yes. but definitely lower than MG unicorn + 1 koto mech base. same thing with 00 raiser and 00 raiser + GN sword III. Will you buy 00 raiser for the extra GN sword III? I think most will. Wallet bleeding soon. 00 Seven sword/G, MG Astray red kai... QQ

QUOTE(zieraq @ Feb 3 2010, 08:07 PM) maybe there will be some update/upgrade with the decals. lets wait & see. about the broken joint, u can try use teflon tape (usually use to seal pipes) to minimize the friction so less probability of broken. I did mine & nothing broken so far. Since it's the OVA version and the OVA Unicorn doesn't have any decals on it, i doubt it'll be included. But one can always choose to purchase it separately.
Teflon tape? Sounds like a unique solution. LOL. Might give it a try on my yet-to-be-broken joints. Thanks!
QUOTE(gorilakang85 @ Feb 3 2010, 10:50 PM) ya, my destiny joint also almost unmoveable... nxt time can try move to move the joint to test the tightness b4 completely snappin it in... can reduce abit wit knife scratchin if too tight.. Yeah, that's the symptom alright... force move the legs and it'll twist and break. Should sand it down a bit first before plugging in the joints.

MG Kshatriya? I wouldn't say impossible, but it's less likely. The size and price would be ridiculous.
But of course, Bandai's releasing a new line of model kit somewhere in June or July, quality between MG and PG. Who knows it might be a line of those super huge mechs like Nightingale, Zeta Plus "Hummingbird", Queen Mansa, S Gundam "Deep Striker", Neue Ziel, etc.
They already made a Jumbo Grade RX-78-2 easily at such a cheap price as, so this line of huge mechs could be made possible.

Then drill a hole in the original part and fit it into it along with some plastic cement. I managed to fix my MG IJ using MG SF:FBM's extra parts. Just some sanding and cutting needed. Gonna try zieraq's suggestion of using Teflon tape to lessen the friction between joints...

MG SF:FBM does come with a lot of unused parts in case you all didn't notice...

I intend to fix my MG:SF's shoulders with leftover parts from my Koto kit

As for the other kits, they belong to my friends, so i'm not sure how's their repair progress.

Hmm actually Bandai technology is quite advanced already.. they can actually enlarge a 1/144 kit easily to 1/100 (Overflag) or even 1/48 (RX-78-2 30th Anniversary ver). They will do some improvement and extra detailing if they enlarge the kit usually. This post has been edited by Exiled_Gundam: Feb 4 2010, 05:08 PM

Kshatriya seriously poisoned me. Dang mean looking. Used to play with this, but kinda messed it up since it was my 1st try in modifying. After done with it, I found like dozen leftover parts which I got no idea where it's suppose to go, or use, n yea, I screwed up with the stickers as well. By the time I learned how to stick them better I already ruin more than half of it.  On the comfort side, well at least dint break any parts. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

I used to throw the runners away too but i thought, i paid so much for this dumb plastic kit, so why throw them away? Actually, you can also recycle them at Ikea, they pay quite a good price for it, if you have the volume.

Yeah, the MG Zaku 2.0 is a very good kit. One of my favourites too
