Ooopa...i post wrongly and thus created a new topic. But kena pinned ord. Still new here...dunno which button to press.... tongue.gif

Hi everybody,,, icon_question.gif
Im planning on buying my 1st ever MG version of gundam...but i dunno what to choose lar. Can anyone recommend me with something worth the $ plus extra cool????? Im thinking of wing zero custom or MK2 Titans V.2....??? Any tips and advices?????

This would really depend on you. Are you Wing-fan boy or more inclined towards UC?

For cool factor, actually the WZC is more impressive than the MKII, to me anyway(It's the wings man!) The WZC comes with a stand so you can do various action poses.

The MKII while impressive in its own right, is just a generic gundam. While more articulate and poseable than the WZC, it does not come with a stand (you'll have to buy one, or make your own). The AEUG version comes with a maintenance platform though.

Unless you're really hardcore like some of us here, get BOTH! If you're on a budget, I would suggest the WZC.

Alternatively you can go into www.dalong.net and view both the models there. See for yourself which is more suitable for you.

sorcecold, I recommend that you just use the black panel line marker and do some standard panel lines. The eraser is for modding and making your own panel lines only.

Actually it's to erase of any excess black ink. sweat.gif

No need use your finger or wet cloth.

Sifus,

Which is better, PG GPO1/b or PG Zeta?
*
IMO go with the PG GP01. Newer and they give you the extra armour to equip it into the GP01FB.

hey...i've kept seeing the word...decal....
so what accually is this decal thinggy??
at first...i thought it was the sticker that came with the kit...i guess i was wrong...XD
i also seen somewhere that people also said custom decal.... sad.gif
*
You're right, decals is the stickers and rub on transfers that come with kit. Custom decals simply mean you make your own have someone do the stickers or markings.

The Crossbone I must have! drool.gif

Hopefully Bandai will make a MG Turn A! icon_idea.gif

I doubt that will happen
a lot of Japanese dislike Turn A Gundam design
it's not even make it to HGUC or HG  biggrin.gif

You're probably right, but never say never. That's why I love my 1/100 Turn A so much.

speaking of HCM-pro, has anyone seen the HCM-pro sazabi here yet? i've seen the jagd doga, but it seems there's not much choice of hcm pro sold here
*
XL shop carries them. Very limited stock though. I saw a guy collecting his pre-ordered HCM pro Sazabi.

Your best bet would either be to order them yourself or get XL or somebody else to get it for you.

strike freedom got many many kits..
which one you wanna knwo the price?

I think better give him examples.

1/144 No grade =RM?
1/144 HG = RM?
1/100 = RM?
1/60 = RM?

Somebody help fill up the RM?, I'm only into collecting MG's.

OR waIt fOr the MG sTrike+IWSP or MG croSSbone???

ThANks all the SIfus ouT there~~~~~~~

I say go with the IWSP Strike. I'm guessing you don't have the Aile Strike so the IWSP Strike would make a pretty cool addition. Grandslam sword, IWSP pack (ie, loads of weapons) what more can you ask for?

Or better yet get the Acguy! Zeon MS are always big and bulky and loads of fun to build! But good luck looking for one, I've seen it at Jusco retailing around RM279.90! sweat.gif

guys, just want your recommendations...my friend's birthday is coming and I want to get him an MG. Last time bought him a 1/144 HG GSD (dun wanna tell which tongue.gif ) kit which really sucked. Now I'm thinking of getting him a "taste" an MG kit biggrin.gif My early ideas were:

1) Strike Gundam
2) Freedom Gundam
3) Strike...Rogue? unsure.gif

Any other recommendations are welcomed smile.gif He didn't watch any other Gundam series besides Gundam Seed and GSD.

Go with the Freedom. Most people love that design. And remember it's Strike Rouge, lol!

ohh....i see...
anyway...i was planing to get another kit for myself maybe on the next month....
budget under RM150...any recomendation?
i like MS that are...erm...heavy...like Xemel...but it doesnt have HG or MG...
*
Xemel got a MSIA figure. Huge and heavy! rclxms.gif

For a MG, Rick-Doms and Doms are your friends. Strangely for some reason the Char Custom Rick Dom is selling much cheaper than the normal Rick Dom.

If you're looking for Gundams, FAZZ and maybe perhaps the GP02A would be good alternatives. (Jusco is selling the GP02A for RM199.90 but with a 20% off it's roughly around RM159.20, worth every ringgit the GP02A I tell you!)

The Gunota site said November 22. How accurate that is, is anybody's guess.

I'm not really sure. They just show the "HG" near the 3 head bacue laugh.gif
But if its true, I would get one myself...it really looks unique blush.gif
is the Saviour MG? It says 1/100 but the price is close to MG... tongue.gif

No MG logo. But looks pretty good for a Seed Destiny 1/100.

Really would like to grab whole of it soon.

So, MG crossbone better or Strike IWSP??? Dunno wanna buy which one... drool.gif

Crossbone for me, simply because I have the Aile Strike. If Bandai were to release a IWSP Strike Rouge drool.gif ....
