QUOTE(shauno @ Nov 28 2010, 06:42 PM) the one VERY easy solution for this problem?use a stand. all yours for the unbelievably low price of RM 20!!  True, but not really feasible if you have a lot of MGs or you're lacking in space.
By the way, where do you find 1/100 stands for RM20? Feel like getting some for myself.

QUOTE(shauno @ Nov 28 2010, 07:07 PM) RM 20 stand can be found in BTS. next to graffiti Sweet! And thanks. Will check it out when i'm there for LT's warehouse sale.
But kinda pity the shop. Hardly anyone remembers its name (me included). It's always "the shop next to Graffiti Toys".

QUOTE(ascentic @ Nov 29 2010, 03:10 AM) I was too happy with my own reward. I won the Limited Edition 30th anniversary HG clear Heros gundam with serial code 395/2000 of the whole world!.. but I am the first in Malaysia to get it according to the Littak announcer Congratulations, man.
QUOTE(edwardgsk @ Nov 29 2010, 03:25 AM) f**k foil sticker!  Yup, i don't know why must they use foil stickers for the PG SF.
QUOTE(Harddisk @ Nov 29 2010, 03:32 AM) I believe this was made on purpose? There were screws to tighten the joints in this kit. Not made on purpose. There are screws on the knees and ankles but none on the upper hip, which caused the PG Aile Strike to lean backwards due to the weight.
QUOTE(Jet23sky @ Nov 29 2010, 02:21 PM) Recently those new Gundam models are not so attractive to me nowadays. Don't know whether you guys have felt it or not. It's weird for me not getting any gundam model for quite some time already. Isn't there any nice new model released?  January and February 2011, my friend. MG ReZEL Commander Type and MG DSHC.
QUOTE(madmoz @ Nov 29 2010, 04:46 PM) It is the matter of timing imho. I betcha most of the gunpla they sold at the expo will be much cheaper again during the warehouse sales. Same thing's gonna repeat during the warehouse sale. Those who went there at different times will see different prices and kits.

QUOTE(golbeza @ Dec 1 2010, 01:26 PM) To anyone who owns the Unicorn Head Display, does it support MG Unicorn? No it doesn't. Some mods are required because the connector is different.
QUOTE(nicholas84 @ Dec 1 2010, 02:11 PM) Plus there's a lot of annoying einstein standing beside the shelves doing nothing but bragging about what they want to buy and how much they know about the series, don't see them buying anything Hmph, i've seen a lot, but the most talkative ones are those below 15 years old.

QUOTE(clivengu @ Dec 2 2010, 01:44 AM) The Dragoon wing looks like has a bad 2pieces joining seam line.. which is ugly and obvious on such a big kit... they should make d perfect grade just a bit more..... Perfect.. Thanks for pointing it out.
If i were the one who said that, people here would say something's wrong with me, or i'm a sour plum, and that they're gonna barf.

This is some wicked mod on the RG 1/144. The small scale makes this a very very impressive feat.

QUOTE(clivengu @ Dec 2 2010, 02:03 AM) Hahaha. Why is that so? U have been complaining bout the PG SF a lot? So far it is a mix feeling for me.. One time i find it look totally horrible. then sometime i find it has a very nice proportion. I don't really know. I was just stating obvious facts like how it looked too similar to the MG, how the lack of full gold coating didn't justify the price, or how the dragoon-eject gimmick was loosely constructed, and people aren't happy.

QUOTE(madmoz @ Dec 2 2010, 02:34 AM) Probably because you kept harping at it non stop at every single opportunity  To each his own. Tak suka jangan beli. Nanti kena tuduh sour grapes kot. That's an exaggeration. I did mention the shoulder hatch and the gold (stickers?) on the Dragoons look nice and so is the boxart. And i never complained about how the wings don't spread evenly because i honestly believe it's due to some locking mechanism to hold the wings in position due to its weight.
So what now? If you like it, you're allowed to express it but if you don't, you're not allowed to?
Someone over at MechaTalk called it Pricey Garbage (PG), and although one or two disagreed, no one bashed him or called him a cuckoo. I guess that's the difference between a forum frequented by westerners and a forum frequented by easterners.
But, enough about this. Let's look at a funny mod.

You don't even need to change the color scheme. Just swap the head and instant HG 1/144 Super Custom Dom.

QUOTE(stanleysum @ Dec 3 2010, 03:01 PM) yesterday i sapu the Evangelion-00 New Movie Ver. 3500yen @ RM50. my first Eva  Careful with the rubber arms. It breaks after a certain time unless properly maintained.
QUOTE(stanleysum @ Dec 3 2010, 03:01 PM) I wonder should i get this or not MG Z Gundam Ver.2.0 HD Color 5000YEN @ RM166 is it a good kit? i guess the price is alright. The Zeta 2.0 is a very nice kit although the transformation is a bit fussy (but nothing compared to the 1.0). I personally don't like the HD color's glossy shine and the metallic decals have problems sticking to the unbelievably smooth surface. You'll need to use Mark Setter to help it stick.
QUOTE(kellefe @ Dec 3 2010, 03:42 PM) Or am i miss out MG in December or no MG in this December ? No MG. The PG SF shall be everyone's "MG" for this Christmas.

QUOTE(madmoz @ Dec 8 2010, 12:07 PM) no need to bash lor, bandai will eventuaslly (i hope) notice the falling sales and react. No offense to all the Katoki fanboys, but Bandai has already realised the "flaws" in PG SF.
That was the one major reason we didn't get an MG for December; so buyers can all concentrate their budgets on the PG rather than splitting them up for December's MG. They already have two complete prototypes (MG ReZEL Type C and MG DSHC) but they decided it would boost PG sales further if they pushed the kits to Jan and Feb 2011. Good marketing gimmick, i'd say.

QUOTE(raxeus @ Dec 8 2010, 08:01 PM) both's articulation seem very rigid hardly poseable...Is that present in all ver.ka models? Did you mean the joints are tight, or that they are not poseable?
Either way, i have both and the Unicorn does have some very tight joints and it's not that poseable. Sinanju also has very tight joints. No such issues with the Xbone though.

Actually, a simple LED mod could achieve that effect as well.

Or some other fap-worthy mods...

QUOTE(golbeza @ Dec 10 2010, 01:10 AM) looks like oversized Master Grade 
Too bad the final mould deviated from the lineart. Otherwise, it'd look better.

Rather than me pointing out the differences and be called a basher, i'll leave it to you guys to spot the differences yourselves.

Here's an OOB PG SF by a Korean reviewer...
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «
...and his comments on the kit:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « + Proportions are almost perfect - Boring details - Hand have difficulty holding rifles, especially when combined, even with the hand pegs' help + Dragoon-ejecting gimmick - Fragile wings (connectors are easily broken) - Wings do not automatically separate when you swivel them up like in the MG + Interesting decal designs - Gold stickers for the dragoons - Some very obvious seam lines + Large wingspan makes for an interesting display
I've checked the manual scans and it appears that there are no locking mechanisms for the wings.
So, the good news is, if you don't like the wings to look like an "X" you can pose it to be spread evenly like the MG.
The bad news is, i wonder how long will those joints hold up the wings considering the weight.
