i came to know that the new wing gundam version ew doesn't come with the new 'hands' the rest of the other new mg wing ms' get. it's gonna be a hard time to have it hold its huge buster rifle

anyone knows where can i get mg hand manipulators for a reasonable price? hlj's selling for rm80 wtf @.@

T.T for a set of 6 hands plus shipment fees i'd incur...i could buy myself a decent 144 owh well...guess i gotta cross ew wing off of my buy list.

thx for the tip. my friend once told me bout this before :/ but i was hoping for...you know...an improvement or a solution to the old mg hands issue from bandai since this kit's supposed to be 'new'. if a new box art, a change of colour scheme and extra parts for an action base is enough to warrant a new release...it sounds cheap though it's kinda expected from bandai =.= i'm a noob modeler, i rely on stock hands ^^"

just asking: anyone knows where or who should i look for if i wanna buy replacement parts for maybe a pg model? for example: the head armours of a strike?

i heard of that video but it's for japan use only. and upon checking...just for one part replacement may cost up to 400 yen and that's expensive @.@ asked hlj since they sounded like they sell the said spare parts...in the end...



...they say they don't provide spare parts for model kits =.= fml

i actually e-mailed hlj. that's why i was 'wtf-ed' when i received their reply.

oh forgot bout gg. i'll give it a try

i hope gg might quote me a reasonable price. or else i'll have to buy myself another kit and hope that i don't screw up again >.<

hahaha. i better not discuss on the damage i've done to my pg ^^" it'll break hearts lol. let's just say it's so scratched that...i have no idea on repairing it ^^"

and if they sell as a whole runner...i hope it would be cheaper than bandai's. since bandai'd put in more work by specifically giving you the parts you need ^^

Deep scratches that even ruin the panel lines T.T If worse come to worse I can't get it from gg. Next I'll wait for someone who is willing to part with their strike's parts lol. Or I'll muka tebal go ask those hobby shop owners to exchange my damaged parts for their display units at the price

And truth be told, I somehow feel that Strike's the best PG so far with a good price. 00 Raiser's overweighted back and strange proportions make it look like an ape with a travel pack, the ones before Strike are just expensive and are not as articulate, Red Frame has its skirt that limits its posability and Strike Freedom looks too timid and relies too much on the bling and wings to look cool. Of course, that's just my opinion and I stand corrected la Self-admitted Strike fanboy here lol

You think Mr Surfacer would work? I was thinking on getting the 1000 one and spray till the scratches are filled cause right now, I lack the skill to putty, sand and put panel line 'gaps' myself ^^"

Thanks for the heads up.

You sure are right on that statement on Strike XD Would've really fallen in love with the ARF if it wasn't because of the 'tamed' looks of the inner frame and some posing hiccups. The head internal skeleton was
Ironically, it was the ARF that I was looking forward to get a PG treatment than the Strike =.="

Thanks bro But not at the moment. Maybe in 2 months time? I'm overseas studying now and I have to part with my Strike 'wife' T_T Seriously, it sucks having no physical contact with those Gundam boxes for months. I can feel something pulling right inside me lol.

Lol. Never. Poisoning myself with pics instead. Can't wait to splurge on some when I get back. It's been a year since my last MG T.T and the ones I last built were just SDs =.=

No worries, they are well taken care of On mods and add-ons, bring in the PG Sword and Launcher Striker packs already!

2.0 all the way bro. Better articulation for poses. Big ass guns? This one has it too

I was hoping for the Unicorn to get PG treatment instead. No cheating on the transformation; with 100% internal skeletal structure and possible no-swapping transformation. I can settle on the Sinanju though...if it ever happens.

The RGZ? I don't know if it really qualifies as transformable ^^"

RG X. Confirm buy. Nuff said ^^
