RM170. Well was thinking why so cheap only, no wonder coz its a NG only xD
*
RM170 still considerably okay lah. I was worried if the seller says PG, then the price will be like PG sweat.gif

lol. Lesson learnt biggrin.gif If i were to either get MG 00 quanta and MG 00 seven sword, which one should i get first xD? Budget doesn't allow me to get both of them at the same time xD
*
you can try google around for reviews and WIP (work in progress) pics. try to browse through and look for pros and cons for each kit

no love for MG 00 Raiser? brows.gif

thanks for the kind words smile.gif
totally. but the skirt and leg stickers were killing me.
*
still okay lah bro compared to RG Freedom's wings. made me swear never to touch winged MS anymore. a real PITA to detail and put decals on laugh.gif

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Jul 30 2012, 11:35 AM)
RG make u spend more time on it thanks to a bunch of stickers brows.gif but overall i think RG is super fun to build.. now u want to collect more, right? brows.gif
*
true to that. as for me RG kits consume more time than MG in terms of assembly and detailing/decals. plus, those tiny partssss doh.gif

despite it's small-ness, they really are very very posable and are not as fragile as you might think tongue.gif
as the saying goes, good things come in little packages.. and i think RGs are in some ways much much more fun than building MGs, plus so much extra detail, makes for a fun piece to build and display.. although playability and posability may not be as good compared to MG, i'd have to admit
*
imo both playability and pose-ability of are RGs are on par or exceeded their MG counterpart, it's just that RGs are not capable to handle *that* much abuse sweat.gif

i was saying in that sense it is not really on par with MG tongue.gif it feels fragile, indeed, but they are quite sturdy.. just that, like you said, it cannot handle as much abuse as MGs tongue.gif BUT! that is at the cost of much detail loss laugh.gif
*
but the kits regardless of grade/scales initially was not meant for playing around too much. maybe a little change of pose every now and then, but not too frequent laugh.gif

wanna play better get GFF/MSIA/RD lah brows.gif

those are not as much fun as gunpla brows.gif  you're not involved in the built process tongue.gif it's like buying a built gundam and just displaying.. play also no feel for the unit because you didn't build it brows.gif

true, true nod.gif

building the kit is where most of the fun comes from

QUOTE(Tiger I @ Jul 30 2012, 06:40 PM)
most probably will have another go for RG later

as for now aiming for HGUC Zaku Mariner biggrin.gif

" on it... mind to tell me where can i get those with the card?... hu3.. the prize is very tempting drool.gif  brows.gif ...he3....
*
chill bro. give it a week or so for it to arrive to our shores. you'll see a sticker indication promotional products that have those cards.

besides, the contest is running until 15 Oct 2012. it's a lucky draw, not an early bird competition icon_rolleyes.gif

^ Frankly speaking despite how the series goes, Age does hav good looking MS. Age 3 Orbital is quite good looking as does the Clanche custom. I might even get a MG Age3 Orbital when it is release.
*
I'm more into Orbital though. but AGE-FX does look good (except for those green "GN bits" pieces laugh.gif)

the only thing i don like about AGE-FX is the head lol. If the head is like previous AGE-3 or AGE-2 then it would be better

I'd prefer AGE-2's head thumbup.gif

QUOTE(TheAdmiral @ Aug 2 2012, 01:12 PM)
I can see the reason why ppl will like FX but personally to me its meh. If/When FX is made MG, i can oledi see all those bits suffer from the same problem as all previous funnel kits like HiNu n SF.

All i can hope is that Bandai dont skip Orbital and goes straight to FX. Kesian orbital doesnt even hav much screen time, 2-3 epi b4 its thrash and then got replace. We haven heard anything from Bandai bout Age3 right not even the normal ones? lets hope tey dont completely skip it (like Wing) cuz among the Age kit, to me Age3 look the best and if i were to get my 1st Age kit that will be it.
*
maybe we need to wait until MG AGE-2 is released then they will announce to do or not to do hmm.gif

Hmmm...better buy at Litt Tak shop in Sg. Wang...should have the sticker starting this August or mid August...

By the way, what are the selected gundams for this campaign?
*
normal shops should have their stocks, too. as I mentioned before, it's a lucky draw, not an angry early bird race. chill out and give the hobby shops and yourself some time. every promotional should have that card, it's not like "only lucky ones will get the card". once you got it, you need to register the number online, and pray for your best luck against other who participated worldwide. yes, worldwide as in from other parts of the world, since this is not for Malaysians only (it's organized by Bandai, not Litt Tak)

as for the selected product line, if not mistaken it's from AGE, SEED and Unicorn series.

i think it'll be early next year or perhaps end of this year (there is still 1 more MG unannounced to go to fill up the 1 MG per month quota for this year) cuz next year the only running gundam show is unicorn. i think bandai will concentrate on that instead particularly in mid and end year to coincide with unicorn epi 6 n 7.
*
aiyah. got my post all mixed up. I meant to post "by the end of this year or mid of next year" doh.gif

nvm. but I do think your theory is plausible nod.gif

extremely confused with Bandai's marketing for AGE series
they released HG AGE-FX together with HG AGE-3 Orbital, but never, never a single hint of HG AGE-3 Fortress
and for MG too, AGE-2 was confirmed waaay b4 MG AGE-1 Normal was even released, but still nothing on AGE-3
same case with Mega Size 1/48, AGE-2 release was very quickly after AGE-1, but totally abandoned AGE-3  sweat.gif
*
as always, Bandai only release those with high demand/popular, not all everything in one go/in a specific order.

like 00 series, so far only got Setsuna's mobile suits and an addition of GN-X to its MG line-up while others got no love at all yawn.gif

guys, what r the difference between the 30th anniversary version and the normal 1s?i bought a MG kampfer 30th anni version for RM138, good price?
*
RM138 is a considerably good price. the 30th Anniversary edition includes extra clear parts, although it only cover a small portion of the whole kit sweat.gif

*
surely is. not really important to get the 30th Anniversary Edition if the clear parts end up being kept away in the box, or used without any effort to detail the inner frame laugh.gif
