To be more precise
RX-178 Mk. II ver 2.0 is the most poseble one
not the first old version of Mk. II that was out long time ago

AEUG ver is in fact more expensive because it has a display stand
which you can joint with Zeta 2.0 display stand
but Aussie 185 is too expensive

Those countries which doesn't has much Gundam modellers will sell the Gundam at a high price
US also selling more expensive MG Gundam
Luckily in Malaysia we still have other importers to sell cheaper Gundam
(Although it's still more expensive than JP)

Yeah, just like the Japanese comics in english version
they sell it at RM 35 while Chinese version just around RM 15

Titans version is more expensive ???????
that guy try to con others ah ??
in fact Titans version improve its waist joint & allows it to turn left & right more
but it's cheaper than AEUG version due it doesn't has the stand

So far I just snap fit my Gundam
never do scratch build or modification
no money to get air brush or spray can to paint my Gundam

I don't have those modelling websites with me now
but you can visit one local modelling forum which has many pro can teach you some modelling techniques

Yo bro, how many contestant this year ??

It's because only pro will join now

What is a scalp blade ??

The G Gundam was seen in LT Warehouse sales
I'm not sure how much they sell it since not interested in it

Dark Lynx:
You should get some baddie MS
Most of the MG for baddie got a nice build
especially those weird type of MS like AcGuy, Z'gok, Gogg, etc.
you will know how good the design of the inner frame when you play around with it

There are some cool baddie MS also
Personally I like Gouf Custom, Zeong, Rick-Dom, GP-02A
I'm bored with Gundam MS nowadays since they all look alike

Fodder Soldier:
My basic tool is just a knife cutter & a wire cutter
I don't use the art knife although I have one
maybe I've used to use the normal paper knife cutter
then find it hard to use the art knife

UC series is more towards realistic world
that's why I like this series more than other series
the Gundam in UC is not like others so powerful until non other MS can fight
furthermore the Gundam design is more mechanical look

In UC series, no side is totally good or bad
it's war between the space colony & earth
not good vs. baddies
so the "good guy" will switch side sometimes
like in Gundam 0079, many people will take Earth Federation as good guys side
but in Gundam Z, Earth Federation become baddies already

To be honest, I don't like Gundam Seed Destiny at all
the first thing I dislike is because too much of MS, especially Gundam type
the anime is more like a Gundam show off more than emphasize on the story itself
Sunrise should make a stop after Gundam Seed finished
GSD is just like dragging the story & let them earn more money only
No more Gundam Seed sequel !

YenS:
I'm not sure whether it's necessary to put primer before you paint your kits with acryllic paint
acryllic paint can be dillute with water, no need thinner
after you've finished your kit, you can spray a clear coating on it to protect the paint from falling off

MG is suitable for lazy people like me who don't paint their kits
just snap fit & draw some outline on the kit already can make it look nice

In my opinion, lower grade kits are more suitable for pro
it's because you need to modify / paint the kit to make it look nice
MG is just need more cutting on the parts

dj898:
Of course if you want to make your kits looks nice, then you've to paint it
what I mean is MG kits' color are well seperated
so although you don't paint it
it still looks not so bad & can be display out

YenS:
Tamiya's one is around RM 7 for the small bottle
Big one bout RM 14
can't remember the exact price
you can get those in ToyCity

If you want to get spray can for coating
you can get the Gunze Sangyo Topcoat series
Gloss - http://www.hlj.com/product/GNZB-501
Semi-gloss - http://www.hlj.com/product/GNZB-502
Flat - http://www.hlj.com/product/GNZB-503
as far as I know Mid Valley's Miniature Hobby, Ampang City Square Hobby HQ got it

Primer is use on kits that made by material other than plastic (like metal, resin)
you'll use it on Gundam plastic kits?
If you want to get those that can cover the base color of your kits
then you should get Mr. Surfacer (also from Gunze Sangyo)
which is a liquid type putty to spray on your kits before put any paints

Yeah, I agree that should put coating on it
I didn't put any on my kits because I planned to paint my kits in the future
after I got enough of money to get air-brush & compressor

That would be double work lah
I prefer to let it unpaint & paint later
since I don't show my kits to anyone except my friends who came to my house
my family members all don't know how to appretiate it

Applying MG standard in such a small size MS is not an easy task
F91 will be bout the size of common 1/144 scale Gundam
we can't place the final conclusion on the kit itself right now
let's wait till the kit come out & someone can give a review on the kit (like dalong.net)

I wonder which MG is the most popular one & at the top of the sales

I don't really like the look of the Gundam in Stargazer
all too "toyish" look

Nah... It won't help much if the design of the kit is already like a toy
I think it's a toy more than a real-robot model kit is because:
1) Too "colorful"
2) Design lack of "Mechanic" feel, many of the parts is not practical to be a combat MS

Anyway, it's just my own opinions

Yeah, I also prefer the flat gold color
Glossy gold color made it like a toy ...
And why they change the design of the feet ??
The Amatu's feet from HJ scratch build looks better than the production one

dalong got some pics on the MG Gyan already
http://www.dalong.net/dal65/mg/m90/m90_i.htm

I just felt this Minna Custom ver. is too "heavy"
especially the twin blade at the back
