It actually belong to Gundam Collection series. Most of the stuff under this series are trading figures, but occassionally some big stuff came out, like the White Base, Meteor etc. Still trying to find this rare kit: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN946745/Gun

Avoid the 2nd and 4th. They are designed for 1/144 gunpla. The MG Sazabi will be too heavy for it. HGUC should be OK but bear in the mind the 1/144 Sazabi is not featherweight either.

if u really wan 1, avoid flashy base. Sazabi is extremely heavy, flashy base has less contact surfaces, add this 2 factor n u will have an unstable base.

consider the fact that nu's 1 is exactly the same as the hi-nu's, bandai did not design 1 specially for ver ka they just took it from existing design. Using nu as an example for sazabi is fallible argument. Think about it, if u r bandai it is to ur benefit to lump all design process together to save time and save resources. If sazabi were to have a custom base, it would have been design at the same time as sazabi itself and be included in the package, which leads to bumping up the price and more profit coming to bandai. Another 1000yen per box, ppl hu r willing to fork out 9000yen wouldnt give a bats eye to another 1000yen. But if u split it up ur profit margin will be lower. New packaging, new instruction manual, shipping cost, warehouse cost, etc etc on what is otherwise be shared with sazabi itself, couple with the fact that some really dont wan a base due to spacing issues, meaning less ppl would have fork out that 1000yen compare to if it were to be included with the kit itself. Its bad business strategy which is why u see all custom bases comes together with its kit, unless the custom bases r generic for a particular faction (aka the zeon's, the fed and the celestial beings ones). In summary, no not gonna happen. What makes u think there will be 1 anyway? sazabi were not marketed to hav 1 in the 1st place, when it was debuted at hobby shows it was not featured at all. In the off chances bandai wanted to go that way, considering the less then ideal profit margin, bandai will go to p-bandai route.

well, have to agree to that (since I can't find any gunpla that can't be bought at the moment, as long as you have the cash) tongue.gif
back to gundamsp01's question; he's asking how, that's why I said there's always a way to find one; can afford one, willing to pay for one, that is another story brows.gif

buying from GG Infinite would be pretty much double shipping.. you have them ship to GG Inf then to you.. plus the price goes up from GG itself, so you're going to pay way more than if you buy them here.. i think some shops will have them on PO.. such as Gamers Arena.. prices are fair too

I probably go for the first one, may be leave the 'Sinanju' decal should be fine. The red-black color combination is nice smile.gif

wow panjangnya, but after check out the component details from dalong.net, only realize that nu's action base is inclusive. So yeah agree with u that wont be any for Sazabi.



Oh my... my spirit keep telling me to go buy and build nu ver.ka, but my logic told me stop right here to avoid further torturing... doh.gif sweat.gif

For those that cannot wait, it's up to them to justify the hefty shipping cost biggrin.gif Not to say that GA is super late, but, you get the idea.
