Very impressive movement range on the MG 00Q... thumbup.gif

But be very afraid when these joints become loose. sweat.gif

Anyone remember MG Nu Gundam? MG 00Q might suffer from the same left-side leaning problem.

Even PGs suffer the same weight issues. doh.gif

the one VERY easy solution for this problem?use a stand. all yours for the unbelievably low price of RM 20!! whistling.gif

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. blink.gif

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". tongue.gif

Yup, i don't know why must they use foil stickers for the PG SF. doh.gif



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?  ohmy.gif

January and February 2011, my friend. MG ReZEL Commander Type and MG DSHC. wink.gif

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. sweat.gif

No it doesn't. Some mods are required because the connector is different.

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. sweat.gif

Probably because you kept harping at it non stop at every single opportunity laugh.gif

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.

sweat.gif

But, enough about this. Let's look at a funny mod.

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.

No MG. The PG SF shall be everyone's "MG" for this Christmas. sweat.gif

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. notworthy.gif

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.

Too bad the final mould deviated from the lineart. Otherwise, it'd look better.

Here's an OOB PG SF by a Korean reviewer...

...and his comments on the kit:

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


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. sweat.gif
