inb4 Premium Exclusives

Dear Bandai, where's my HGUC Deep Striker?

where got say MG Exia R2 is normal release??? I checked everywhere all mentioned it's P-Bandai Hobby Online Shop Exclusive

and come on Bandai, if you can milk this this, I know you can come out with MG Avalanche Exia ><

cheaper than whole set of Macross Frontier DX Chogokins though

not rachet, just the joints have this fabric wrinkles effect, supposedly in the manga their joints are covered in protective fabric, or something like astronauts' spacesuit joints

some kind of insulation covering the joints to protect it, maybe from the lightning occurring in the Thunderbolt sector

it was assumed Bandai has stopped their waterslide decal product since decal number 90 for MG The-O
apparently it has been continued!

the new list of decals are as follow:
#91 MG 1/100 GAT-X105 Aile Strike Gundam Ver.RM/ MBF-02 Strike Rouge Ootori Ver.RM
#92 MG 1/100 XXXG-01S Shenlong Gundam EW
#93 MG 1/100 XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Proto Zero EW
#94 RG 1/144 ZGMF-X20A Strike Freedom Gundam
#95 RG 1/144 ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam
#96 RG 1/144 RX-78GP01 Gundam Zephyranthes/Full Burnern
#97 MG 1/100 RX-78-2 Gundam Ver.3.0
#98 MG 1/100 OZ-13MS Gundam Epyon EW
#99 MG 1/100 XXXG-01SR Gundam Sandrock EW
#100 MG 1/100 XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms EW
#101 RG 1/144 MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam
#102 RG 1/144 RX-178 Gundam Mk-II

Astray Red Frame is the basic unit


while Astray Red Frame Kai is the custom modified version

actually if you know where to find, there are shops that sell below retail prices
I heard someone managed to grab PG 00 Raiser at sub RM500

shops in Akihabara

it's not pure orange, it's orange yellow
to be exact, 3 parts yellow + 1 part orange for the colour mix
most MSes from UC timeline uses this colour instead of pure yellow

Destiny and Strike Freedom got RG

NG 1/100 then

originally there wasn't any plastic shrink wrap at all, those wrapped in plastic are done by our local distributor Litt Tak for big tenants such as Jusco

Ver. Ka stands for Version Katoki Hajime, meaning it has been designed by Katoki Hajime, one of the top Gundam designer for Bandai.
most of the Ver. Ka Gundams are not designed by him originally, he tweaked the designs to his style.
you can say most of it are more detailed compared to the original, but not necessarily all.
one example is Wing Zero Custom, it's Katoki's derivation from the Wing Zero, both look completely different in many ways, but neither is more detailed than the other.

However from the model kit line up point of view, Bandai markets Ver. Ka Gunplas with the full blown decals layout as the trademark.

either is fine, it's up to your taste
most would recommend gray, for me it depends
if the white parts only consist of minority of the whole MS, black would make the white stand out more

how much did you got it for?

but the backpack FBM kinda weird, because open up differently compared to PG

luckily at least you purchased it with 20% discount, less damage to wallet, though still slightly overpriced, as market price is around RM60
you can check this website: http://gamersarena.com.my/ for price referencing, they have a shop in Berjaya Times Square KL

that's the discounted price, normal price is 1700yen, and you haven't added the shipping cost
cheapest shipping would need 600yen, so total after currency conversion will be around RM80
don't forget that the reason they are selling it is to earn, so RM90 is a pretty fair price

nope, pair with other tools yes, with gunpla no
gunplas are not cheap buying online overseas, mostly because the box size adds significant amount to the shipping
buying more then yes it'll be cheaper, but passing the the RM500 mark would be asking for trouble from the customs

there's such as volumetric weight you know

right on my prediction list
