So I tried asking HLJ to get spare parts for me but after a few weeks, they said won't be possible, their spare parts dept is indefinitely unavailable..

Anyone know of any proxies there that can help with spare parts? I tried a couple, no luck so far..

Thanx, I forgot about this link..saw it in office

Sent them an email, will update once they've replied me and see how it turns out

Sounds like a real good option..so vPost sent the package from Japan to your friend's house here? And your communication with Bandai was in English from start to end? How long did it take for them to respond to you?

Thanx for your idea, this could really help us a lot here who can have occasional butterfingers

Yea true I found out from their website, California. Will look at Vorador's options and see how that one goes.

EDIT: Vorador, the vPost website registration is only for Singaporeans? Tried registering, couldn't create an account

Speaking about Metal Builds, those don't require any assembly right? Saw the cost of one 00 7 Sword at BTS, was around RM200++ RM400 iirc..was thinking, wtf so expensive..it's just a metal version of the upcoming MG, just heavier due to all metal and fully decal-ed?

EDIT: price updated to prevent further shock

I may be mistaken, that was couple weeks ago, didn't bother looking at it again

Since you two are surprised, then I'd think memory failed me here

But other than my memory failing me, what're the pros of the Metal Build over the normal MG editions?

With you on this.

I won't say Metal Build is not worthy, but a PG would be worth more than the Metal Build; PG has the details, gimmicks, proportions, and BIGGER. More to admire

My opinion too.

Once you've assembled the GN Shield and bits, it's difficult to detach the bits..if you try, most likely you'll break their connectors (I did. This issue I posted in the last thread iirc, nazrul also had the same problem iinm).

It's worth it to pose in one form only..or unless you maybe modify the connectors..think sanding them a bit may make the connectors not too tight thus preventing you from breaking them.

If you like swords, then I'd say wait for 00 7 Sword. The HG is awesome, MG would really make you

Otherwise, this one is pretty cool in it's own right too. I'd still buy this as it does look cool

Omai....time to prepare shopping list....

Let's see..ABF 2nd, GN-X, Epyon, Hi-Nu..promo also includes MG no?

Or maybe get 1/144 kits only..

1st Prize is

God help me

Don't think the other 3 Meisters will get MG treatments soon..maybe never will

That's why I just get the 1/144 ones, hanging onto what very little hope I have that some day, Bandai will announce MG versions of all 6 kits; Virtue, Kyrios, Dynames, Seravee, Arios and Cherudim

For 1/144. Sent you a PM

There is one on eBay. Tempted to try but no experience with resin kits so maybe pass for now

Yes there's LED cos it's the PG SF, comes with one LED for the head.

What category does Gaia fall under, MS/MA?

I hope so too. I've grown to like Kyrios and Cherudim. The OVA MS I will skip..maybe Harute I'll consider but Raphael and Zabanya..

Look forward to more Heavyarms pics

Only 00 qan[t] has the MG version. All other OVA MS are in 1/144 scale. There're no 1/100 kits for these, yet.

I don't think there are much improvements between the EBM Destiny and regular one. Main differences that I can remember:

1) Wing effect
2) Few parts are metallic coated

That's about it. It's same with SF FBM and normal mode, main differences are that FBM gets an extra blue transparent action base, some golden parts and the effect pieces for the dragoons.

Currently doing the regular Destiny now. I've had the EBM one for a couple years now and also have both FBM and regular SF for few years already.

Ah right I forgot about those parts. Yeah the EBM Destiny has more options than the FBM SF. Probably better justification for the extra RM100 more or less.

Destiny's shoulder design is more dynamic than Strike, allowing better posing. Prepare large space if you're gonna pose it with the wing effects. Although requires large space, but it is pretty to look at
