him... have to think hard.
do you all find it hard to fix if the gundam in size is smaller?
*
it's not that hard but it sure is challenging due to tiny and fragile pieces. just need to be extra careful, others should be just fine

about the MG wing

the size oh this wing is like same as HG why is that so....
i seen the real one in arena looks small compare to others in display as in MG grade

the wing  look like my sinanju frame size not sure is my eyes problem
do you have a wing rihuhz?
*
like HxiiiK mentioned, MS from Wing series are a bit smaller (and shorter) compared to those from Seed or 00 series, or those taller ones from Universal Century. the size of the kit is based on the scale from it fictional height, hence the different kit size even from the same MG line-up. not all Gundams have similar height laugh.gif

I don't have a MG Wing, since I'm not really a big fan of it. the one and only favourite of mine from that series is the HeavyArms brows.gif


you can always visit http://gundam.wikia.com to check out technical details for various MS in the Gundam universe

Do kits cost more in Maylasia than other countries???
*
best way to compare prices is to refer back to the original price in Yen, and convert it to the respective currency. some international sellers like HobbyLink Japan might have crazy sales with dirt cheap prices, but you might as well consider the shipping cost, too.

QUOTE(Rhasense @ Aug 11 2012, 04:58 PM)
Ah, been to many forums with gunpla sections and I just figured maybe the conversion was in the higher end since a lot of people talk about saving for MG kits here. That or its harder to earn 1 RM than 1 US dollar or 1 Yen.
*
Yen exchange rate does have a raise compared to Malaysian Ringgit since early this year, and resulting a slight price hike for gunpla kits nowadays compared to let say, last year.

yup. noticed that. after a few visits in these couple of weeks it seems GT (or IT Toys, if not mistaken?) have better pricing compared to GA now. even by a mere 2-3 ringgit tongue.gif

that GN Sword IV cant hold well sad.gif
because no peg for MG Quanta's hand to hold it

and also extra caution for GN bit especially GN bit C part
many people complain have broke that part
but it look so nice indeed for display

yeah. read it in some blog reviews. hopefully mine wouldn't turn disastrous sweat.gif

but that's gonna be some time before I actually build it. prioritizing some other kits first whistling.gif

+1 on the 00 Qan[T]. Careful about the sword bit when u wanna detach from the shield. If not careful the part really easy to break

btw, where u get that GN sword IV?
*
from a seller in LYN but that was several months back, when it's just got released. dunno how and where to get nowadays rolleyes.gif

You can get the GN Sword IV on ebay easily. There's multiple sellers.

I'm pretty sure there's a plenty on eBay, but my previous post are meant for local sellers sweat.gif

rclxms.gif  nice lo!!!

bro... is it after you go in to MG don't feel like fixing HG any more?
*
not necessarily bro. sometimes I buy HG just wanna "escape" from all the tedious job bulding MGs and RGs. HG is more relaxed, and can also be a testbed to brush up your painting/detailing skills. as for me, I buy HGs that I think looks great, but it's yet to have its MG treatment laugh.gif

here's my snap-fitted HGUC Jegan ECOAS Type and HGUC Jesta brows.gif

phone camera also can mah.. mine was done that way laugh.gif

QUOTE(HxiiiK @ Aug 12 2012, 02:14 PM)
actually.. RM80 is IMPOSSIBLE.. RM120 is still plausible, some shops have a lot of stock so they're clearing off for 120-130.. 80 is impossible, unless you're talking about not buying original bandai.. but even then 80 is a bit high whistling.gif

like AF Hobby is selling for 140 while Gwing is selling for 135.. i think if you shop around you may be able to get 130 or 125.. lowest possible is 120, i believe.. i do not think u can get 80 at all.. unless it's assembled whistling.gif
*
agreed. even the cheapest I've seen from any warehouse/clearance/moving sale, the cheapest is around RM120

the only sub-RM100 MG kits I've seen are from (a lot) older series like GP01, Mk-II v1.0, old GMs, and those from G-Fighter series like Gundam Spiegel

nah i want crazy cheap prices tongue.gif i managed to get Shining for a little below 90 and Master for 80 brows.gif hoping to get God for about 60-70ish and Spiegel for around 80 too
*
MG God Gundam for that price range is quite impossible. you might have better luck finding it somewhere in the RM80-ish. the same goes for the Spiegel

you can always count on online sellers if the place in your place is killing you laugh.gif btw where are you currently living?

even myself sometimes buys online if I see a good deal. saves money on fuel, parking, etc whistling.gif

+1. 00 series seems neglected a bit..... really hope they release MG for some models. I really would wan a MG Zabanya xD

Bandai only focus on the ones that will make money first whistling.gif

dunno maybe it has to be something like a revisit/remaster edition like SEED then we'll be seeing those guys got their MG treatment
