I got the center one the the bandai ryofu.. ordered this but still have not arrive.. I think i'm crazy since I can't find
it anywhere I ordered online from a New Zealand seller.. ryofu + air shipment can nearly buy a decent MG locally.. rclxub.gif
I think one of my most crazy purchase so far in terms of kit sales price and the price i bought.....

just curious that why would some1 buy a build completed kit ?

to save the hassles or the kit is modeled beautifully?

btw, can anyone recommend me page/blog for gunpla reviews ? something like  http://gunpla-inochi.com/
*
Bro, I don't buy completed kit because I am lazy to build, I buy it because of the price the
fellow hobbyist is selling. as he is giving up the hobby he quote at an attractive price.
I have around 20 ro 30 over backlog that i have not build! Anyway I will repaint and possible
customize them.

I need to invest myself with a display shelf first before I start buying more gunpls.. tongue.gif (cost around 1 gundam?)

haha bro.. yeah I think I have overspend every month on gunpla.. maybe U guys have been at that stage before.. I just started this hobby few months ago so naturally I will have that rush to grab more.. but recently feel that the space are the main issue too.. particularly displaying sd kit..

for those that have asked me previously i'm using this. The light I have diy myself using batteries LED light
http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/10213586/
this one can last u for quite awhile, the onyl negative is that if u don't install light, you can't see much after u close the cabinet door..

someone told me before, hobbyist can spend a big amount of money on model kit but when comes to display case they tend to save money.. I think he is right since u already spend so much on model kits u should buy a nice display case to bring out the kit.. not saying nice should be expensive, but buy a nice one that can last for awhile and looks good when u display ur babies in it. smile.gif

I don't like that one because the door block your view. For me the reason for display is so that you can see them, so if you can't see them then the display shelves lost half of its purpose.

So far among collector this one is highly recommended for non custom made display shelf : http://www.ikea.com/my/en/catalog/products/70182172/
Though the reason I bought Billy (2 of them too) instead of Detolf was because Detolf is smaller and more limiting i.e. Detolf is suitable if you want to display your most precious collection (and not all)
*
i broke a detolf before and still got scar on my arms.. so I suggest if bro wann self assembled do have 2 person to hold the glass if u have no experience and crumzy like me tongue.gif .. I think billy is definately worth it.

well.. i collected the kits was surprised there's no panel lining done since the seller have over 100 kit so I thought he must have
done quite alot of work on his kits.. he basically just snap fit. I'll repaint and do panel lining on those I acquire when I have the time..
I think out of the 3 the crossbone need the most major work.. not because of the seller but the kit design.. parts keep dropping off.. zzz

Level 3 of my cabinet will be for my sangokuden sd collection + the shin musha.. haven got the time to build my musha MKII yet.. must probably lu bv
non bandai will be at this level.

2nd level mostly for my 1/144 scale and sd kit.. find that sd kits take up alot of space so I just stick the display stand
and now my sd kit seem to be flowing in the air tongue.gif I also bought those plastic holder as an aim to try to stack the sd kit..

do let me know if u have any good ideas on displaying sd kit.

although i question the move of making so many things exclusive.. i really don't get why they don't just make it a regular release.. they would still sell, EXCEPT MORE, since it will be in other countries too.. fans would not be mad, and they would still earn

like the crossbone X-2.. surely they had to make a new mold for the shot lance, and clearly fans were screaming for an X-2.. but there they go making it exclusive.. i don't get it at all.. why the exclusivity doh.gif they'd definitely earn less

as for repaint versions.. let's just say... Zaku II, Char's, Black Tri Star, J.Ridden, etc etc
*
I believe their production line does not have the capacity to roll out so many unit per time.. Maybe they make it exclusive
as in produce in a small quantity that will not affect their main operation line where newer kits are rolling out constantly +
it give something exclusive to make those loyal customers feel special in japan when they have that extra parts or kit that
differentiate themselves from the crowd who have common kits without those parts. Just my thought..
