Someone was asking if MG ShenLong's dragon fang could be switched to the other arm? Answer is yes.  rclxms.gif

From the diagram, it seems the peg on the dragon fang was meant for right arm only. How to swap?

The peg is part of the dragon fang, and both the forearms have the holes to fit it in. It is the same shape as (part F5) used for the shield, so it's swappable.

There were holes on both forearms. Unfortunately, F4 isn't a peg. The peg on dragon fang was G19.

So they were not swappable. In fact, they don't even looked the same.


Added on March 21, 2011, 11:48 pmThe Gundam T-shirts look nice, especially Unicorn's. But >RM100/piece... a bit too steep for just a t-shirt. sad.gif

My bad, lost in translation while I was checking the rest of the diagrams.

Anyway, peg on F5 and G19 (no mistakes this time) are not interchangeable. So I still don't think dragon fang can be fitted on the left arm. smile.gif

Looks tempting!

But I guess I might give this a pass, since I have already got a PG. Don't think the RG would come close in term of details/articulations. Perhaps colour might be better though.

Building RX-78 was a bit of a PITA. Getting another RG sounds like a nightmare. Perhaps get the RG Zaku to make it a pair and close case. lol

I want the rest of the weapon packs for PG Strike Gundam! vmad.gif

Slow for them, but quick for me. Spent close to RM700 on toys this month.

Kagari figure + Formania Sazabi, coming my way. sleep.gif

And my MG ARF still WIP. Where can't I chrome/coat those ugly fake golden parts with shiny looking gold huh?

Not just that. The shoulders were too small and look flattened. The front skirt so short, like wearing mini-skirts. Maybe Strike Rouge would be better? Sexier... whistling.gif

And plenty of touch up to do on the 2 pairs of fins. At least RX-78's were sharp sharp. biggrin.gif

Wah, how come you all shop for Gundams from TM or XL?

Gamers Arena obviously has the best price there, unless they increased the price already. Otherwise, all my Gundam kits are from GA only.

Yeah, but it's 8800 yen. If it's accurate to scale, Prime should be around 28cm.  shocking.gif
True for action bases, modelling goods and some kits only. There's always not much Gunpla choice. Cheaper if you go to GT or Aunt Lenny's, if you know how to bargain.  wink.gif

*
What's the scale of the TF toy? If 8.8k yen for that size, it's cheap. biggrin.gif

Unfortunately, I found GA's action bases a bit costly. Just by comparing to Graffiti Toys'. GT's cheapers. But for Gunpla kits, I'll still go for GA. While on the contrary, it was some kit from GT which is cheaper, compared to GA.

But do take note though, GA's gunpla kits arrive quite late compared to competition. If you can get, you'd get yourself cheaper kits. smile.gif

I see. HG/NG or MG? Usually the MG kit I checked, still GA cheaper. My ARF, UG + cage and RG RX-78 all from GA. Even Hi Nu, but I do saw some other shops selling Hi Nu at an even cheaper price now. But back when I hunted for it, GA still gave me the best price.

sometimes i buy base on stock availability also
last month i bought VF-25F Armored Messiah kit frm GA at rm279 although GT selling at rm269
reason? GT only got VF-25S in stock  laugh.gif

GT used to sell their Armored Messiah for RM199, with badly dented box, of course.

Now that's a deal incomparable. thumbup.gif

but i still prefer GA.. coz the price there won''t be that so different from TM

Even if TM could be cheaper by RM2-RM5, I'd rather go to GA. I don't like the kind of service @ TM. GA's staffs are much much more friendly. Can chat with the guy there even without buying anything. He doesn't mind showing you the display unit if you just want to take a look. rclxms.gif

GA price is around RM20-22 for the basic black/white/grey ones.. the clear sparkling green (matches the colour of GN Drives from double-oh series) is about RM25..

I bought about 3 action base/stand + 1 lighting base from GA, then later only found out that the neighbour (GT) was selling about RM2 cheaper, for each. I was so confident that GA was the cheapest there, I guess I was dead wrong. shakehead.gif

Even before GA was open i was playing Magic card at their store at Mutiara complex near jalan ipoh there...
didn't know they are actually the same boss until i met him last month...

the boss is pretty friendly too..

I too, just found out not long ago, the shop in Sg Wang (top floor) where people play cards, is Gamers Arena. I never went into that shop before, just walk pass, saw a few boxes (very little) of Gundam on display by the glass wall.

Nah... it never strikes me as a shop selling Gunplas. That's why I never enter before. Only saw a few box lying around by the glass wall. smile.gif

Usually I never bothered to look at the shop's sign, but that time I looked up and surprised to find that it's been Gamers Arena all this while.

True. Like how I have waited for the HGUC 1/144 Unicorn + Display head to be available in GA, but never arrived.

That was RM85 and I just had to buy it. sad.gif

My first and last waterfish @ TM, no more shopping with them even-though their Gundams are cheaper or whatnot.

Anyway, I was talking about the limited edition of the HGUC 1/144 UG with Display Head, which is rather exclusive at GT (if not mistaken). Can't find it somewhere else.
