Is it really THAT HARD to buy a model kit that you like the most?

The 1/144 SEED line are made of meh and mediocre. They're all the same, with the same kind of quality, never heard of any complaints about loose parts and whatnot.
The GSD 1/100 line was already ruined from the start, what with the uninteresting lineup (Bandai: WHOAMG WE HAVE 4 EXCITING ZAKU UNITS THAT ARE ESSENTIALLY THE SAME THING ONLY WITH DIFFERENT COLORED TREES!), and the lack of kits for superior designed units like the Windam and Blast Impulse.

Yeah exactly, I've always wondered why they never produced kits for the Blast Impulse and Windam. Those were some sweet designs there.

I also wished that they would produce the Astray with the Flight Pack. Imagine that in MG or PG. drool.gif

true.... 1/100 GSD was ruined by the abundance of Zaku units. I mean why come out with Heine's orange zaku phantom? That unit was never the main focus of Heine, the GOUF was!! They should release a orange 1/100 Gouf for Heine, that'll sell better than the phantom. And the double zaku pack with dearka and athrun was stupid.

The druggies MSes, should have been released as a 1/100, but we've only got the chaos. The Gaia, which is probably the most popular of the three never got any love. And I believe the 1/100 Saviour would be a hit considering athrun's popularity, even if it did literally nothing in the series. Windams were the forgotten lot, as they didn't even get a 1/144 HG doh.gif WIndams need more attention.

I know a lot of people (at least some of my friends) would love to have an 1/100 Akatsuki.... not me though whistling.gif Hyaku Shiki pwns Akatsuki in terms of design, and more importantly the idea/spirit of the mecha, pilot behind it.

More Astrays would do just fine biggrin.gif tongue.gif Amatu, where are you??? but we don't need no M1 astrays... do we? whistling.gif more variations of red frame, blue frame, gold frame would be real sweet.

if only there was a 1/100 CGuE thumbup.gif

meanwhile.... ExS for the win notworthy.gif

dun be like that. Some people are just cautious when deciding. Like me laugh.gif My friend on the other hand always rush his decision and I laugh when he makes a mistake (which happens 70%) of the time cool.gif

I'm not sure about Windam, but Blast Impulse was used only...twice? in the show...maybe that's why they don't wanna focus on the kit. Might not bring as much profit as the others. Remember, all companies focus on profit. Nothing else...

And...Asuran, Yzak and Dearka all used Zaku units till the end. Probably that's why there are so many Zaku around in GSD whistling.gif


OMFG...StarGhazzer~!! How big is that ExS? Looks like a 1/20 or something shocking.gif

Cautious in buying plastic crap != asking others to decide what model kit YOU should buy, despite the fact that most of the time, people buy model kits because they love the design/color scheme, and they'll tell you to buy a kit that they like, not a kit that you like. If you were to ask me which 1/144 HG SEED kit to buy, I'd recommend Strike Rouge +IWSP because the IWSP pack itself kicked so much ass (main focus on physical weaponry FTW!), although I would end up telling you to diss the 1/144 SEED line, and buy the much superior HGUC 1/144 Hazel or Advanced Hazel instead.,

Blast Impulse has a superior color scheme. I always adored Gundam units with forest-like-green camouflage colors, in addition to having a SURPRISE BUTTSECKS! hidden weapon. And profits? Bandai's a weird company, you know. If they only churn out model kits or toys if it's popular, we'd see the whole market being bombarded with 329487675 Destiny figurines/model kits already, as opposed to 329452376 Strike Freedom crap. The 1/100 Destiny was wildly popular among fans and outsold all of its other GSD kits when it first came out. But yet, Bandai still continues to churn out more and more SF crap. Bandai would've made an Astray Gold Frame Amatu already if they wanted to profit. Oh, and did I mention how bad the sales for GSD kits are, that at some point various Japanese shops are throwing the price out of the window just to make it sell?

And you fail. Yzak and Dearkka used Zaku Phantom. Zaku != Zaku Phantom.

plastic crap or not...you said it yourself...overcharged plastic models...inflasi zero man thumbup.gif

oh wait, you're probably too rich to bother doh.gif

and I'm saying Zaku in general term ler sweat.gif dun have to be so specific like Zaku 1, Zaku 2, Zaku with a cowboy hat. In this case you're wrong too. Yzak is using Slash Zaku Phantom...not Zaku Phantom laugh.gif dunno what is Dearka using...forgotten

I'm not rich :(. Speaking of which, should we ever expect model kits' price to go down, drastically? I went to Maybank sometime today, and I found that the exchange rate of RM to yen is now RM3.10 for 100yen, compared to the old RM3.8 (same as USD) for 100yen several years ago, before the unpeg thing.

Dearkka used a Blaze ZAKU Phantom, Yzak, Slash ZAKU Phantom.

not drastically no, central bank (bank negara) wouldn't allow that. but people have been speculating that the ringgit is gonna go 3.60 to the dollar during this year. any lower and it's gonna seriously affect our local exporters.

I think it is bcoz of the transformation that makes it look bulky or rather retarded as u mentioned it. Saw Blitz in shopping complex recently, i think it looks cool, at least dun really looks disproportion... smile.gif

yeah. i find the parts on the aegis like..kinda jutting out. maybe its just for the sake of the transformation, thats why they paid little attention to the proportions.

Bandai did have another line up called HY2M and produced 1/12 as well as 1/24 scale Zaku and Gundam models..
would look cool with 1/24 scale vehicle and airplane along with 1/24 scale Gundam. biggrin.gif

Besides that Ex-S is not from Bandai.
If I'm not mistaken that one's G-Systsem recast(?)...
