1/100 MG Aile Strike Gundam vs. 1/100 MG Z Plus C1.

Which would be better?

OK...because I've orignally wanted a CE-verse model...although C1 have more fun in it being a transformable suit.

That is if I can get to buy the thing, which is obviously no at the moment >.> .

Plus I don't want it to be too expensive...

I have only watched SEED + DESTINY though the first Gundam I knew was the Zeta (back in mid-90's) >.< .

Now that's complex.

OK, Aile Strike Gundam is OUT. Too expensive for me.

Zeta Plus C1 then >.> .

True...although I still don't know which is more popular, 1/100 or 1/144 Gundams...I'm new in this...

Found the Aile Strike for RM239 plus-minus at Low Yat there. Other places more expensive, or don't have.

Maybe I have to hide it too <.< .

EDIT: Does the C1 only have skid landing gears? I find it weird (don't mind the colour) <.< .

A1 have tyres for landing gear, but it was an Earth-only Zeta.

I got a large cabinet to hide that lol.

Obviously Mk.II is the MOST poseable thing around, but I'm sure most people would go for a Mk.II, so I got to get something else. Poseability is not one of my priorities in buying those.

And I'll learn the ropes with a HG 1/144 first. Will do MG later, since I got a knack for breaking stuff in the later stages.

I take a HG 1/144 first. MG would be too challenging for me at the moment.

Yeah, I've placed enquiries at their thread.

Well, well...see how it turns out first, because obviously I have to keep this aside when parents are at home.

Plus money is an issue right now, as I have been using a lot of $$$ for studies.

Crap, I forgot to add Ver2.0 in my post >.> . One guy (living in Australia) I knew in a forum said the AEUG version of the same thing (Mk.II v2.0) goes for 185 Aussie dollar.

They usually overcharge any Gundams they sold overseas, especially in 'Western-focused' countries. This is even worse in any anime conventions that happens to sell the models overseas.

I remembered giving some of them a shock when I tell them the prices in IRC this week.

Considering we got peple to bring that in privately, we should be glad.

* kct starts saving money in case he really wants it.

And yeah, here is the text from the place where I knew about it (and thus igniting my interest in getting a model).

LOL, unless they come out with MG 1/100 GSD Zakus/Gouf I don't think anyone is touching them soon.

Edit: I'm a bit blur about this...can anyone care to tell me what do you guys mean by 'Cosmic Region'?

OK, after reading through dalong and all that now I get it, why MGs are worth it.

And I can't be bothered to paint anything >.> .

Say, for example, if I bought something like the Z+ A1, and wanted to install the space booster from the C1 (which I think fit), how can I get the parts tree containing the said part?

Is there anywhere that have spare parts tree?

Mid Valley Metrojaya got a Gundam display going on. Some interesting ones were there.

Yeah, that too.

Destiny Impulse <3.

Yeah, they're making 1/100 Legend better than the rest from what others have said.

The funny 'ladies' shoes' of the Mina version comes after the original legs are destroyed by the Regenerate Gundam in the manga.

A lot of places supposed to have some of those.

N00b question...so if I want to paint the Gundam kit, which type of paint should I use?
