interesting fact i found out about the PG Astray Red Frame - iinm, according to the leaflet from the japanese sword museum, katanas are slung cutting edge up. the tachi (longer blade) is the one worn cutting edge down... so Astray's katanas are terbalik?

Not gunpla, but model kits nonetheless. Iron Man = mecha too right  |

gunpla sales from Japan seldom worth it for us due to the shipping costs.
unless if you actually travel there... |

The version GFT kits are sold in gundam front tokyo itslef right before the exit and also in a booth/camp thing next to the 1/1 gundam. i believe these aren't limited.
The 7-11 GFT version is sold in the 7-11 in Odaiba Diver City, that is supposedly limited i think.

QUOTE(ngcheechong @ Jun 26 2012, 11:55 AM) I liked the build, but the heavy armour is a bit not practical for Sandrock... I understand if shooting mecha like Dynames having heavy armour for protection, but for a melee mecha to have such... I seriously wonder how fast it can react the george foreman approach lor - dude carried so much weight in the later half of his career that he basically stood there and took whatever punches the other boxer threw - no need to react - his 'armor' was sufficient  Let's not get too technical... |

currently when it comes to tanks you would be wanting a lower profile as opposed to a taller guntank-like profile.

well, since you mentioned 'nak ikut logic berceramah' memang i will terasa chilli. you don't call people names and then pretend to not having done it.
personally i find the endless spamming of snap fitted kits and hauls in here annoying, but that doesn't give me the right to call those who do it names does it? @ascentic, it has nothing to do with you lor, the link is 'fun', as evidenced by a number of us actually discussing it.

actually i prefer if everything comes in gray or at most plain colours ala hasegawa. then i'd be forced to get off my lazy arse and actually paint them.
the koto kits i have always make me sakit hati to repaint wor, like wasting effort only. |

I kinda like the china limited gundam. it's like a novelty item.
if bandai positions itself to capitalise on the chinese market, i won't be surprised if the major bootleggers will get sued again. btw, is TT legit? Always thought that they were bootleggers but someone mentioned that they are bandai endorsed? |

QUOTE(TheAdmiral @ Jul 13 2012, 12:11 PM) No TT is not legit, as far as i know anyway. B-Club is 100% legit. that arguement makes no sense really if you ask me. bandai probably loses more money from cannibalised sales as compared to what miserable amounts that they can get from selling thier old molds away.But the whole legit or not business is abit hard to judge since there are alot of things going on behind the scene. Some speculate that Dragon Momoko is a subsidiaries of Bandai, some say Bandai sell their defective/old molds to DM and DM make cheap kits base on legit Bandai mold so that Bandai could cash in on the sales of the molds which would otherwise been trash. That would xplain y some DM kits are so similar quality wise to the ori Bandai wan. But its all pure speculation anyway, and to be save just buy original kits. |

that sounds like hogwash to me too. i'm no businessman, but trying to 'capture' a market segment by indirectly encouraging or pretending to be a bootleg company doesn't quite seem plausible.
i do remember that bandai did or is still releasing some SDs for the chinese market, and that those carried the bandai logo as well innm. |
