did somebody mentioned Jesta?



btw the upcoming MG release for RGM-96X Jesta is the standard Jesta, although there's quite a high chance the MG Jesta Cannon would be released not long after that

that's just a speculation only, although quite inevitable. since Bandai already have MG Jesta in the making, so MG Jesta Cannon is having a fair chance to be produced.

example: MG ReZEL > MG ReZEL Commander Type > MG ReZEL B/C-Unit [GR]

dude. it's already clearly stated that it's a PO item, stocks coming in May 2013

did GA have some major restock? judging from the background pics

surely gonna have a visit this weekend

it might be "only" a grunt, but that's one of the awesome-looking UC grunts available

1 - buy MG Zeta & assemble
2 - buy MG Zaku & assemble
3 - take off Zaku's head and put on Zeta's body
4 - ???
5 - profit

but not sure if Zaku's head gonna fit for transformation to WaveRider mode lol

lol that sure saved a lot of time

on contrary, I think RG kits put some MGs to shame in terms of details, plus more challenging

but well, not everybody has the same preferences

you must have been mistaken RG with HG, since both are 1/144th scale.

all I can say RG has the gimmicks & articulation of an MG, with details like a PG, all in a size of a HG

as you can see here the RG Strike (on the right) made MG Strike (on the left) look all plain and boring




some more RG eye candy:

couldn't agree more

but RG's inner frame serves more for articulation rather than aesthetic purposes

"might want"..? this thing already in my must-buy list even before it's announced

the price for the HG alone already surpassed PGs

and one helluva way to get mindfucuked building RG with that size

oohhh things are getting better!

RG GP02 might break the record to be the biggest RG

ohh this year I'm restricting mah buys for new kits. so far in list only:
- MG Jesta
- MG Aile Strike remaster
- RG GP01

not all of them. just want to collect 1/144, 1/100 & 1/60 Aile Strike. already have the RG and PG (unbuilt) and let go my old MG Strike+IWSP not that long ago to give way to the remastered MG Aile Strike

SEED HG was never appealing to me. bad proportions and looks fat & short except for HG Strike Noir

it's not exactly V2, not even v1.5 if not mistaken. just an appearance update. the inner frame is either recycled from old MG Strike, or using the later SEED series MG

I guess the hands gonna be just like current recently-released SEED MG for GAT series

not sure about the new one, but the old prototype picture from <insert toy show name here> looks like they only update the Strike itself, while re-using the old Aile Striker Pack. not sure this new prototype picture though

Delta has similar transformation to Zeta/Zeta Plus. more elongated and streamlined compared to the lumpy-ish look of ReZEL/Re-GZ

references for waverider modes:

Zeta Gundam

Luckily RG Aile Strike got its cues from its PG counterpart

are you sure you're not putting the parts wrongly? if the slots fits doesn't always mean you got that right

that's what exactly I had in mind. bazlit I think the armor parts have different complementing parts for each leg, while you put on similar mirroring parts on the same leg. OMG what I just said

ok. think it like this; let say each leg have 2 piece armor parts, A & B parts and each leg must consist both A & B. but instead, you put on both of the A parts on one leg and both of the B parts on another leg. not sure if I explain this right

wow. new design backpack? no more boxy giant bento boxes?

with thrustes, too

tried the Bandai Stage Act. 5 to display my RGs. turns out to be good I guess

the articulated arms for the bases really helps to centralize the weight of the kit to provide better balance, and reducing the risk of toppling over which I experienced when tried to display the RG Freedom on an Action Base 2

also your kits wouldn't look like they're being impaled

then use thin wire lah

yeah. quite hard to do that "orewa Gundamu" pose with a huge pole stuck in your crotch

PG Strike was released as a standalone, and the PG Skygrasper was released along with the Aile Striker Pack maybe coz the idea of releasing 1/60 Aile Striker alone would be somewhat weird, although that's what most builders need since not many ever care about the Skygrasper, and quite seldom I came across those who actually detail the PG Skygrasper

as for the RG, Aile Strike is already available and RG Skygrasper was released along with the Sword & Launcher Striker packs maybe to fill up the 2500yen price tag, coz just the Striker Packs alone with that price tag would look very expensive

for MG, we already have MG Aile Strike and also MG Strike with Sword/Launcher pack, so imo there's no actual need to release such kit unless Bandai decided to re-release the Sword/Launcher pack together with the Skygrasper

who knows?

exactly.

most reviews I've seen about PG Aile Strike, the builder never included the Skygrasper. some would build it just for the sake of completing the kit and throw back in the box, some are not even bothered to build it
