implying that the previous frame on the Sinanju is not paintable?

then in this case, isn't the problem laziness instead of the material used? i know on paper there is a warning, BUT if you follow all the right steps, no problems right?

actually, a layer of primer and paint, if done properly will not really make the joint that tight. people are just lazy, period.

and i don't think bandai's main revenue comes from modellers, but rather people who snap fit, and display their model. and let's be honest, since when has the whole logic of "i'll only buy something once i've finished building" ever work? if it did, people wouldn't have backlogs.

after all that's being said tho, i just disagree that people say ABS frame cannot be painted on. it can be, if you're not lazy and an additional layer of paint really won't make much of a difference if you do it right.

did you notice prices for banshee and unicorn destroy mode bro?

ah~ what HGs were there? how much did you get your banshee HG for?

it is! yen rate at 0.028 which is quite similar to the rate of which they are selling the buster!

double posted.

if titus is 125, then spallow also should be 125, cos same price mah. is 140 then mahal gila!

ala.. knowing litt tak, the rest of the sale, buster will be at 108 wan lah. last time, with virtue, seravee, giant liu bei all also the same wut.

yeah. typical chinaman style lah. 2 days "only" wor..

seems like most of the things on sale are going at a 0.036 rate.. which is higher than exchange rate of 0.033 nowadays. mehhhhh

cos Bandai has close ties with 7-11. same reason why there is an ANA theme, linkin park theme etc etc..

and you'd need to cod in singapore.

yen has dropped down to a .031 rate as of today!!

anyone know if any online retailers, or dare i hope shops anywhere close to the current rates? last i checked in graffiti, they were still at a 0.037 rate. which is disgusting

no chance. unless you want to risk kastam checks, and go to lcct or port klang to collect your shipments.

actually..

size difference between a smaller mg i.e crossbone, victory, or wing kits are not very much bigger than a hg, and they still have full frames around them.

also, if you're seriously spanking good, a set frame or not will not really deter you from making mods. if that prevented people, then we wouldn't see rg mods around mah right? but there are. not many, but still got. and besides, the oob builder is the majority of the buyers out there. that's why bandai keeps making re-colors. things like gunpla builder kits, and expo kits come to mind in this circumstance. and they get snapped up in an instant! and if you are committed to do a custom job, nothing in the world will stop you from getting that kit, regardless of color, articulation, etc etc. if the person doesn't like something, he will just mod it.

IMO, bandai is going into expanding their customer base. so they would want to introduce things like better color separation, improved articulation, and fancy gimmicks of the like. the current fan base will buy, regardless of what comes out.. and in the end, their main target market is japanese.. as long as the japanese market is happy, all is well.
