honestly i think it's looking great laugh.gif
may not have the enormous amount of details RGs are notorious for, but honestly, after the decals are on, i think it would look amazing still
plus i think i see some great parts separation and different tones of white there too

and the plates

no single piece body frame like other RGs.. an indication it really is fully transformable? drool.gif
*
if you look closely, the Zeta seems like heavily painted, and most of the details looks like faded away by the paint hmm.gif

judging by the inner frame (or the advanced MS joint, as they call it), yeah, I think it's fully transformable thumbup.gif

indeed.. people tend to say the MG is fragile.. but i think it isn't, really.. some solid engineering in the kit.. just got my MG Zeta during the warehouse sale, so i'm a bit late tongue.gif but it's an otherwise solid kit..
i'm sure they would put enough effort into the RG version to make sure it's not as fragile as some people are thinking nod.gif
*
for transformable kits, the build itself is indeed very solid. In my opinion the term "fragile" only goes to those tiny parts and the transformation mechanisms. I haven't build my Zeta, by I do have a fair share of experience with MG Zeta Plus A1, MG Zeta Plus C1 and MG Delta Plus sweat.gif

I need some opinions on the MG Delta Plus. Been interested in the suit design for quite a while. Is it a solid kit? Any  fragile transformation parts I need to watch out for? I hope anybody can clarify me on these things.
*
it's cool, superb and handsome looking mobile suit, and it does have the same charm in the kit form thumbup.gif

like any other transformable kits, you just have to be careful with the transformation mechanisms. in my case, the feet is not that sturdy, and it keeps on wanting to fold upward, making the kit prone to toppling over if improperly balanced sweat.gif but some claims that it's just an isolated case hmm.gif

anyhow,

Thank you for all your views. Your comments have been very helpful. I think if I ever buy it, I'll leave it in MS mode on an action base.

rihuhs, I can see what you did there.  sweat.gif  The poison is strong on this one. laugh.gif
*
so far I've only transformed it to WR mode like twice or so.. later I just leave it in MS mode, until now. too many steps to take, a bit more complicated compared to MG Zeta Plus C1 (that can be done without referring to the manual) laugh.gif

and zaku as well.

Guys, not sure if anyone knows, is there a thread just for PG gundams? Or all under this thread?
*
everything about gunpla is discussed here. I don't see any point in having a separate thread just for PGs

QUOTE(widesky867 @ Sep 1 2012, 10:48 AM)
Hello, do any of you know any gundam kit seller that is located in Johor Bahru and available for COD? Any websites or pages here in lowyat?

Thank you.

not sure about JB but I do know one that's located in Muar. have a look here ---> http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2377878

TITAN OR AEUG?  icon_rolleyes.gif
*
I'd go for both if it's MG or PG, but for RG I'd rather go for AEUG. the borders of the clear sticker decals are too obvious once applied on the TITANS. that is unless, get an aftermarket waterslide ones brows.gif

this thing probably collected more fingerprints than 8 seasons of CSI whistling.gif
they really should've wiped it before displaying.. at least it won't look so terrible.. looks very blingy though, so i think people will still get it
and if Litt Tak gets it locally i think i'll pick it up depending on price too whistling.gif

never fancied bling2 kits or clear kits. titanium finish however is somewhat acceptable biggrin.gif

yours is a MG G3 Gundam v2.0 right? maybe can look up for bootleg parts since the G3 v2.0 have the same parts with RX-78-2 v2.0

btw just noticed that MG v2.0 Zeta took the HGUC's proportions, not from the PG like Mk-II v2.0. or at least that's how I see it laugh.gif

Around that price, but do your Red Frame come with the limit edition part ? since i pretty sure the Wing Zero pearl edition is hard to find....

that the pearl edition for ya which come with sort of metallic/ transparent white that replace solid white on the normal edition
*
the first batch premiums (Tiger Pierce, katana stand, acrylic base, etc.) for PG Astray Red Frame comes in a separate box, not included inside the PG box itself

also, the pearl coated PG Wing values about RM1k sweat.gif

Thanx! Even the Litt Tak guy who sees these toys everyday also jeaolous...hehe. So i dun blame you.

that's the thing that separates you and them; they only see, not owned brows.gif

Yes, the Red Frame comes with a "75mm Automatic multi-barrel CIWS(close-in weapon system) "Igelstelung"...
WTF...is this German shit?  rclxub.gif  a.k.a. plastic

that is the head-mounted mini gun, and if not mistaken lots (if not all) of MS from Seed series have this as one of the standard armaments.

Nothing good like some early Lowyat forum posting...good morning guys!

Check, no...no premiums included  smile.gif Cool meter? Still high!

Huh? The Pearl mirror one that expensive, sure? Probably i'll sell it drool.gif Coz not too favorable of the pearly look... Like the whole kit add hair shampoo. You know the texture and gloss you see on shampoo? Exactly...

Only the blue looked nice with the pearl mirror effect.

By the way, what unboxing you guys want to see next? Come request  nod.gif
*
yes it is. you can check here and here brows.gif

but I don't think anybody would buy it if you put up the retail price. give it a 50% discount, sure there's gonna be people interested whistling.gif

Oh yeah i also think about that but haven't find one, try to measure all the decal is pain to do.  sweat.gif

Decal actually cost $1 but it up to $2.4(RM 7.46) with shipping.

another way to do it is get a blank water decal sheet and then print using laser printer right? hmm.gif
