QUOTE(shauno @ Jun 12 2011, 04:35 PM) bright LED is not always a good thing.. too bright and it will cause light bleeding.. A layer of paint on the inside should solve that problem.
QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jun 12 2011, 04:38 PM) that one with MG is purposely for 00's eye so i dont think it need brighter light On the contrary, MG 00R's eyes are lighted from the chest, so it will need a brighter LED or it will be dim like in Dalong's pictures.
QUOTE(General_Nic @ Jun 12 2011, 04:40 PM) question now is how or where to buy the LEDs separately n how much Rather cheap if you get it from Taobao.com
QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 12 2011, 05:16 PM) Make it a USB attachment.

QUOTE(zheyuen @ Jun 12 2011, 06:22 PM) by the way, if you were there today, around 2 something and saw someone with blue hair, that's most probably me. lol. Wow, blue hair. Totally radical. 
QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jun 12 2011, 08:39 PM) Counterattack!  nothing can beat this » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « I think the upcoming Angemon and Devimon can beat that.
QUOTE(Silverfire @ Jun 12 2011, 08:53 PM)  But it sounds like they are really doing it, the only thing is just the price factor due to the design of the pyschoframe. Like the Bandai representative said, the price would be a turn off because: 1) the psychoframe would have light-up gimmicks 2) full transformation capabilities
Also keep in mind that Unicorn is way taller (and heavier) than the other PGs, but if the psychoframe is supposed to light up, that would mean the inner frames would most likely be hollow and if you throw in the full transformation ability as well, it would be a pretty fragile kit with not much articulation for a really expensive price. Only way for Bandai to make it plausible for mass production is to give up the light-up gimmick.
QUOTE(clivengu @ Jun 12 2011, 09:15 PM) This is nice.. i want too.. But before this, i wanna ask since it is a conversion kit = Resin Kit.... is it going to be as difficult to built as the full resin kit... where u need to drill hole and + Pin to it... or is more simpler.. just clip onto the existing MG plastic frame? mind to share? Full resin and conversion kits are the same. Only difference is that conversion kits carry less parts and you'll need the corresponding GunPla for it. Method of construction is pretty much the same for both.

QUOTE(Ayam-man @ Jun 12 2011, 09:56 PM) I also want join LED bulk......btw it can be used for other mg like gnX? It's compatible, but wrong LED color.
QUOTE(clivengu @ Jun 12 2011, 09:58 PM) ouch.. then it must be very hard to build.. somemore i thought resin is usually heavier.. when go with plastic inner frame.. isnt it going to be not balance? I dont get why they still produce resin kit if plastic has all the benefit compare to resin.. whats so good about this material other than more expensive & sounded Pro.  Resin looks better and much easier to customize. About the weight, that's what makes it sturdier as well, but articulation is compromised.

QUOTE(rihuhs @ Jun 12 2011, 10:04 PM) just change the LED lor.. available at any electronics shop for just around RM1  That's just too expensive. Ask a friend from an E&E factory to get you some. RM1 could get you a whole strip of 25 LEDs.
QUOTE(clivengu @ Jun 12 2011, 10:07 PM) Mind sharing why is resin easier to customize? is it because the material is softer to cut? or is it because it comes with whole solid piece of plastic which is not hollow inside. so u can cut it to any shape u want? Just my guess...  Yes, the material is easier to manage. Anymore questions, ask in modelling thread, okay? Kinda going off-topic here.

QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jun 13 2011, 12:14 PM) despite the great articulation, 00 Raiser/Qan T is still suffering weak ankle part as it can falling front very easily(try hold the ankle and move it front a bit, you will understand what i mean) I believe MG Exia and GN-X suffers from the same problem, but golbeza seems to say otherwise.
QUOTE(divinelight @ Jun 13 2011, 01:44 PM) but, if there really sold separately, who will buy AGE-1 only? I'd rather buy one of Titus or Spallow if AGE-1 is included Knowing Bandai, some parts will be missing so you won't get a full figure of it in the Sparrow and Titus version.

QUOTE(rihuhs @ Jun 13 2011, 02:06 PM) MG ARF on the other hand, have extra parts enough to completely convert the TA to ABF's version with the gattling gun.. complete with armor schneider  That's because Bandai didn't plan to release MG ARF with the TA II, so they used the same runner from ABF2L. They just threw it in there so they could charge higher compared to giving you just the regular backpack.
You still don't get MG ABF2L's complete feet in MG ARF's box.

QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jun 13 2011, 02:14 PM) indeed, 00R and Q inherit weak ankle joint from Exia(GN-X i dont own yet so i dunno) but should not be problem for me since i put on action base all the time  MG GN-X shares the same leg construction like Exia if i'm not mistaken. They use the same runners too with lotsa leftovers in GN-X's.
QUOTE(MyKy44 @ Jun 13 2011, 02:23 PM) alas, the leg still too slim for my liking.. if only i can incorporate NG legs to it  I thought you already did?
QUOTE(Jev_Veracon @ Jun 13 2011, 02:24 PM) My 00 Qan n raiser hv no problem on standing pose The new mg 00 raiser stand perfectly with raiser attached too You don't pose them much, do you?

QUOTE(nazrul90 @ Jun 14 2011, 03:26 AM) Kawaguchi-sensei is mad with people bashing Gundam AGE  He's not the mecha designer for AGE, is he? By the way, anyone knows who's the mecha designer for Beginning Gundam?
QUOTE(james83 @ Jun 14 2011, 10:33 AM) yeah too much complaining even before the anime is out. let's just accept that this is made for the kids, & decide whether want to watch it Honestly, Bandai doesn't really care, whether it's good or not, whether it's for adults or children. It's there for one single purpose: to market their merchandise.
QUOTE(satoshi.mifune @ Jun 14 2011, 03:21 PM) What do you guys usually use to color gundam, marker nice?  Yup, nice. Check them out yourself here.
QUOTE(Duke Beard @ Jun 14 2011, 04:52 PM) Actually I agree with this. Gundam will always be for children regardless what you "adults" here say. Bandai producing adult cartoons? Sounds so wrong.

QUOTE(man_hakim87 @ Jun 19 2011, 11:06 PM) the tube for gouf custom give me sore thumb. I cant imagine u guys built your zeon suits. The solution is to not use the sliding gimmick.
Cut the pipe where you're supposed to separate them. Pull out one part at a time, and after you pull one, cut the pipe so it's shorter. Then individually slide them into the other pipe.

Must be my burning desire for Bandai to release an MG Gouf Custom 2.0.

I think it's just to show that the war ended and Setsuna didn't have to use his Gundam for a very long time, so long that flowers grew on it.
