The good news, is that it broke off at a good angle that it could still hold the bit in place when retracted. If its the lower part that's broken, ouch.
Funny thing is, it's very easy to clip it in, but dangerously hard to pull it back out :/

Quant never came with LED.. its yours tho for a low price of only 700 yen
next time, for an easy solution, keep all broken parts, and buy a bottle of cement. not very exp, only rm9. plastic cement will fix these problems for you, making it good as new. also addresses the #1 complaint here which is loose joints. apply generous amounts of cement on the male peg of the join you think is loose, wait for it to cure, and insert back. viola. instant tightness.

Already have a bottle smile.gif, but part is too small for a cement fix. Considering the way the clipper is supposed to move/hold the C-bit, the fix will only be temporary at best before it breaks off again (I'm quite the type to change poses of my kits every week or so till I'm bored, so... sweat.gif ). Cement fixing MG Exia's hip joint though, works like a charm laugh.gif

Yes, but a V-fin is not a movable part, there's no force being applied to it by default. Fixing the clipper on 00Q is like fixing a broken lego man's hand, in comparison. The fix will hold on long enough until it breaks at the same spot due to the stress applied to it when clipping in/out the parts. I know because I've also encountered such issues before. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions smile.gif As of now my 00Q is being posed together with MG Exia in battle at my office's desk biggrin.gif Great MG overall, but man I wished the backpack unit is mounted better than what they made it to be. The whole weight of the backpack is currently supported by the rear cap of the GN Drive alone, so if you guys aren't gonna put in any LED in it, better cement it tight.

Would probably be cheaper to just DIY a LED + bateri butang biggrin.gif It's not like you're gonna leave the lights on 24/7 anyways tongue.gif

But seriously, godamnit Bandai for not using a standardized LED unit (NG1/100 00's is just that -slightly- larger to fit in the MG).

He's talking about that white part on top of the chest window. Yeah, quite fragile, but you've probably applied too much force into it. Some cementing should ought to fix it.

If like that then no mecha will ever rival GurenLagann in smexiness, lol. Unless there happens to be a mecha larger than the entire outerspace biggrin.gif Maybe a 4th Dimensional mecha?

Oh right, Time Machine had stocks of HobbyJapan Feb (with Full Saber), for whoever is interested.

i wan the ori Fei-Yen, but like no see also sad.gif

Ori Fei-yen is from Wave, very very old, but Kotobukiya is currently releasing VOOM/VOOT kits slowly, so there'll be a chance for her to make a comeback. VOOT Fei Yen is released already though, I think you can still find her online.

I can't find any model kits of she at local !!!!! sad.gif

Local stores seldom take in unpopular kits like VO. Better chances to get them online smile.gif

Actually, Gackt is the pilot.  nod.gif
I believe the correct term is Extreme Particles.  tongue.gif

I was under the impression that there's no pilot, similar to Musha Gundam. But lol Extreme Gundam got plain boxart laugh.gif

Yup, it doesn't have a pilot.

Gackt was the one who voiced Extreme Gundam in the game, so he's the AI controlling the unit, rather than an actual pilot.

So Gackt officially beats Setsuna at being a Gundam? laugh.gif

I used to like any gunpla that looks cool, but after building gunpla and watching gundam animes for so long I've learned to appreciate the design concept, the implementation of gunpla technology, and of course the fictional history of a certain suit. Don't get me wrong - Epyon used to be one of my favourite suits but not anymore. Same with Justice Gundam.

Banagher Links is the English spelling used by Bandai and Sunrise in the Unicorn franchise. It used to be spelled unofficially by various forums as Barnage Linx during Unicorn's early days where only the Japanese pronunciation were present. Riddy/Liddy is now Riddhe instead.

Gundam characters often have names that sound different from their English spelling - the old MG Zeta manual spelled "Kamiyu Vidan" instead of the now-commonly used Kamille Bidan. Another more common example would be Athrun Zala which should Asuran Zala.

Thank god Quatro was never spelt wrong, if you know what i mean... tongue.gif

Plagiarism spotted. No wonder MG DSHC's boxart looked familiar.

Now i'm really curious who's the illustrator. It can't be Morishita Naochika, could it? hmm.gif

In case anyone's wondering, that green mecha is Forbidden Gundam from GSD.

Not the first one to do it, never the last either

Not really, that in-game shot is another one of the many fanarts the Japanese did for the lulz; They're simply much more awesome that the real thing.
