new haul, new build.. HGAC Wing.. one of the best HG builds i have ever experienced.. the tech they incorporated is amazing, the posability, the look, the feel of the kit is extremely solid and really evokes the Wing Gundam we all know and love
 he has an 'inner frame'!      yes, he CAN reach his beam saber   bit of OLD vs NEW!   my verdict? BUY! or you will definitely miss out a great build, and a great start to the All Gundam Project |

^ just FYI, the old Ez8 has a much better looking opening hatch gimmick (or rather, actual hatch gimmick that opens and closes
)can't show it to you though, i sold it a while back  |

i wouldn't say it's their flagship, per se.. i'd say MG is more to that.. PG is simply a novelty item that caters to hardcore fans of the series, or to gunpla.. marketing wise, they don't need their PG line as much, because of high cost in RnD and production, plus when was the last time you heard a PG being sold out? walk into any store and you might just find all the PGs in the market right now, still sitting on the shelf

die cast skeleton? crazy and would cost a lot.. plus it would be extremely EXTREMELY heavy.. it will probably crush most people's shelves just standing there... heck i think most wouldn't even be able to lift the box.. even the little die cast in PGs like Wing make him so heavy.. if he were full on die cast... well.... u get the idea

QUOTE(afsarudy @ Oct 24 2013, 09:28 AM) Wow...great idea indeed but its really not relevant to both production & material cost. only applies for a little while.. then it will be the heaviest gundam on your floor Just imagine, Metal Build price already cost us MASSIVE amount of money. Then I'm not even dare to think die cast the whole PG inner frame would cost.  Take an example. Normal PG OO Raiser already cost us around RM800-900 and not even 1 part got die cast touch. Imagine the whole inner frame is die cast. Well, I do agree if you wanna talk about stability of the body unit but in terms of weight, its gonna be the MOST-HEAVIEST gundam on your shelf.  |

thank goodness, for those extra weapon sets, there's always another company looking out for your best interests
not that i'm saying support *ahem* la, but you have to admit, all those limiteds, by the time it reach our shores also, almost another kit already.. i'd rather Bandai put in the extra weapons set and make the 3.0 5000yen or something |

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Oct 25 2013, 09:52 AM) neh, shipping would be RM40+ for a single box, added up it'll be back to normal price wouldn't shipping be better if u get more, say.. 3 per shipment... i dont think it'll reach 40... or would it? hardly buy anything online so i don't know.. always resort to picking up the box physically in the shop.. but i'm afraid i may not be able to wait one month for this one to reach us it'll be cheaper if you bulk purchase, but you couldn't get more than 3 or it'll exceed RM500 which will risk getting tax by customs  |

QUOTE(General_Nic @ Oct 25 2013, 10:07 AM) speed isn't the main problem, since they are relatively fast, the slowest mail also about 1 week to 2 weeks hmm, no experience with amiami, only hlj and hobbysearch and those are fairly reasonable.. then again i beli single small items only.. never gunpla.. aiya.. guess i'll just waitthe main problem is the risk of it went missing plus, amiami is famous for overbloating packaging, you'll never know how much its shipping might end up with... |

QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Oct 25 2013, 07:01 PM) currently trying to transform my RG Zeta... my advice, leave it in MS mode and pose it, and display.. the RG Zeta is well engineered, but the overall kit is far from sturdy/solid.. i dare not transform it at allreally suffering... everytime i move something... the skirt fall off and couldnt understand the doc at all why this is so hard tear in my eye is dropping non stop  |

QUOTE(lucaswjk @ Oct 25 2013, 10:36 PM) i bought this unit coz i wan it to be in transform's form... RG is too small for beginner.. but if u mean beginner to RG.. then yes, Zeta is the deepest end of the pool, in that sense anyway i succeeded  thanx to youtubeit really took a lot of courage to do it  and this guyz will stay in this form without sticker or any other coloring for very long time --- i think im crazy for choosing this RG Zeta as my virgin model jumping in the water without knowing the depth  everytime i twist it, it feel like it gonna break the model is simply too small for beginner it's like u haven't learned to swim but u jump straight in.. but at least it looks like u managed to swim you should give the other RGs a try too, although its a bit sad to say, the SEED line for RG so far is fantastic.. Strike is definitely one of the best.. if non-SEED, the MKii are damn fun also.. i haven't tried GP01.. plan to get him real soon |
