1st. Also first time posting in this thread.

Have a question for those who owns the PG 00 Raiser gundam. I'm thinking of buying it and want to know how stable it is on the stand when you have the GN condensers + 0 raiser swept to the back? Having the condensers facing to the side makes the model look so wide.

Hope this makes sense and hope you guys can advise sweat.gif

Hey all,

Don't know if this is the right place to ask but hope you guys can help me here. I want to order some parts for some of my MG kits which have been "mishandled" aka broken sad.gif

I'd want to get parts for 5 of my kits. I asked HLJ since they were able to get me some parts before but this time they said that they would not be able to determine when they will be able to get the parts as their parts department was "dismantled" before the earthquake and is now significantly delayed because of the earthquake.

So question is, where else can I go to ask to order parts from? This is for Bandai MG 1/100 kits. Thanx in advance sweat.gif notworthy.gif

Seems like people in this thread like to ignore serious questions...  whistling.gif

Okay, Allfather. If it's still new and wrapped in plastic, most retailers could get replacements for you. If you already assembled it and you yourself is the one responsible for the mishandling, you could try emaling bandaiactionkit@bandai.co.jp and ask them whether replacements are available and where you can get them.

Alternatively, you could try emailing info@gginifinte.com as they provide parts replacement service as well.

Remember that it would be costly.

Thank you for getting back to me, I was following the thread in the office today hoping for an answer and not being labelled a troll sweat.gif laugh.gif

Any experience ordering parts/runners? HLJ took a few weeks the last time and I got it eventually, wonder if other options could be faster than HLJ this time around..

1) Get a Japan proxy.
2) Order your parts here: https://bandai-hobby.net/partsorder/index4.html
3) Have that proxy send it to you with the fastest courier service.

Takes less than a week.  wink.gif

Sounds like an idea, will look up more info on this method hmm.gif

replacing parts... you need to order the whole runner even though the broken parts is only the small one... so yeah.. its costly... the alternative... ask help from someone pro enough to recast the parts...

Recast? As in fix? My heart would ache looking at that particular part on the MS still knowing it was once a broken piece..call me wtf but it's just me sweat.gif

OR,

get a 'cheaper pirate' version of it.

And no thank you I don't want to put an ahem piece on the Bandai kits sweat.gif

Thanx guys for the ideas, appreciate it notworthy.gif

I have to ask this:

I remember last year at one event (don't remember which event, BAKUC at Sg. Wang iirc), a new MG kit (I think it was 00 Qan[t]) reached here few days after being released in Japan.

Now, with MG 00 Raiser being released, what're the chances we'll see it at this years' BAKUC.. hmm.gif


And that Top 20 list came early, should've waited for 00 Raiser to be released to make it into that list.
