great-looking custom kits

imo that 000 needs more colour though

it's ok to hand carry 1 extra item on plane... (let's say, 1 back pack + 1 box of gundam) I'm so regret I didn't buy that 00 raiser... (which is SO MUCH MORE CHEAPER than buying it here)
on a 2nd though, perhaps I just save myself for a couple of months of extreme otaku life...

Hi Guys, i need to buy some thinner and paint. Any idea where i could buy those from? (i am staying in kota kemuning)

The places i used to buy this from has either closed down or no selling these anymore.

Thanks.

i have a question.

Normally how do u guys choose ur gundam model?

1. by design/ look?
2. complexity?
3. or fav gundam from anime?

and how frequent do u guys shop it?

i just curious. it'll be great if anyone can answer this. thx

Maybe you could buy online.. from either Tkting, or from Gwings or maybe also AFhobby.. .. now maybe you also can get from gamersarena.com.my, well.. if you want to hunt for more.. I am actually just thinking of 1 place that might nearer to you is ICW, the boss is Rayloke, you can PM him also.. if you want to.. here in LYN.. of how to go to his place.. I only know how to go to his shop from my house .. LOL.. me is road dumb.. KEKE.. anyway.. cheers... and happy new year bro.

my choice is usually 3>1>2. You gotta love what you build
rarely buy since I don't have a stable source for money yet

As far as your question goes.. hmm.. For me.. I will answer my part.. maybe the other brothers and sisters where will have different view

I will choose my gundam base on the design, look.. and complexity is not an issue for me.. Anime somehow will boost a little on the urge to get 1..
Style is also fell into the consideration for buying my gunpla... coz, I would see if I would like the gunpla to have seriously crazy heavy arms or just a samurai sword..

Normally I go visit gunpla shop 3 times a week, but now because of new year and CNY coming soon... plus.. work load getting heavier.. I just rely on my supplier to update me the latest news on the gunpla.. haha.. Cheers mate and Happy New Year!

by far would be the favorite mecha, and the design and the last would be the complexity, since personally i like something that is complex yet easy to build. most probably i shop for is a kit/2 months
mostly because i enjoy waiting for discount and always telling myself that it can wait

i choose all the MG Main Gundam, their Gundam companions.. since i only build MG kits they all seems easy and normal to me.. buy all MG kits from SEED, OO, Wing.. i guess i buy one kit per month..

kikifish, haha. then i bet ur collection is dem big. but are there so many MG models available?

Tiger - that's a good reason. mayb i should start telling myself that. bcoz i'm in the middle of building my 1st kit and i'm aledi looking for a new one liao. hahah.

I'm with ascentic on this one (except for the gunpla shop visiting frequency)

most of the times I choose a kit solely on design/looks itself. complexity does taken into account sometimes, and if a kit looks too "crowded" it will significantly reduce my desire to get the kit (like the MG FA Unicorn) but if it's too plain, it'll look kinda boring (I'm still having a hard time choosing which version of MG RX-78-2 )

I don't watch that much Gundam anime series, and I started this hobby before actually watching any of the series. as a matter of fact, my first kit was the MG Exia and I bought it about half a year before getting to watch the Gundam 00 series. it's not what I would say a deciding factor, but looking on how cool/great it is in the anime, somehow adds the value of the kit itself

Added on January 3, 2012, 3:45 amnot every model are available in MG. whenever there's a new series/movie, the first thing that came out are the HG kits.. and of all the HG kits, only a few (most of the time hero/main protagonist unit are selected first) gets the MG treatment. this, of course wouldn't happen instantly. a certain model could "wait" for years before Bandai decided to release its MG kit

Rihuhs, go fir the OYW RX-78-2. Best looking out of them. I made the mistake of buying the 2.0 which has no detail at all( follows the amine too much)

my choice was like 60% for OYW & 40% for Ver. Ka

v2.0 concentrates only on the inside, but sadly all the beautifully engineered mechanisms ended up being covered by the plain armor

nothing urgent here, and the RX-78-2 is not on my top list. but in any case I'm getting one, it'll be either the OYW or Ver. Ka. most probably the OYW

happy new year folks. been missing out on this thread so long. i think i will save money to buy MG FA Unicorn. reviews around seem to b very good for the kit.

but hv to save .....car jst kena langgar. :T

for me more to design/look.. stylish and powerful looking such as OO seven sword is just my type and love it so much.. planned to keep all of it (MG, HG, SD)
but there is one important factor need to check out is budget.. hahhaha unless you have high pay work or will have to be like me.. eating maggi for few weeks just to get a gundam... but it worth...

nah... some of us just like to get it all...

Wait for "The Origin" version Since already got Composite Ver. Ka, MG is not far away I presume

yes. I've already consider that as a possibility too.. besides, I'm not in the rush to get it. just for the sake of having it only.. the origin, the one that started all of this. hehehe

saw ur Wing Ka posted lol
.. not yet see mine

oh lol found already haha
