IMO, warehouse sale should be a lot cheaper since its supposed to clear out old stock to make room for new ones. They could make it a must to buy in 'package' to get special price, or buy 1 get the next 1 at 50% discount, etc.

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Sep 13 2014, 07:23 PM) Yes, their 'official' promotion this time is the double bullet, but besides that there are many more kits being on discount. Realistically, they can't put discount on every item they sell, it's marketing 101 where you put normally priced items in the mix. I've heard people at the warehouse were complaining on why MG Turn X is being 40 more expensive, why Sazabi is way more expensive than retail. They should have known it is unlikely that these items prices to be slashed. Thats why they should sell them in packaged, new ones at retail + cheap old ones.

I've gone to couple of other warehouse sale, but not gunpla. They employ several technique such as an 'empty box' at rm100, but you can put as many books as you want inside for free (all for rm100).

QUOTE(getalong6165 @ Sep 13 2014, 08:53 PM) that only works for big bad wolf. its no where near possible that it is able to be implemented in this gunpla warehse sale Just an example. But i think its quite possible with proper box size.

Latest build. Enjoyable, but really stressful. First time parts snaps when cutting it from the runner.... Not one, but 2, including the right arm inner skeleton..

QUOTE(skeithskeith @ Oct 25 2014, 05:55 PM) How did you take care of the nubmarks? I have an EXPO freedom gundam, but I just don't know how to hide the nubmarks, thats why it is still sitting right in the corner. (I dont like painting). QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Oct 25 2014, 05:59 PM) Unless you got meticulous hands and knife with laser-cutting machine precision, the nub marks are 100% unavoidable, that's why we paint it (after sanding). I use the simplest method, 'close one eye' method... Haha Also the trans-am effect hide it quite well. But this is really nice to build since the construction is quite different compared to other RG... And the result also really nice, but doesn't show well in photo.

I thought of applying water slide on mg was hard, but applying it on RG is even harder...

QUOTE(boonhoong @ Oct 26 2014, 10:41 PM) There's something wrong with the assembly of the torso to the waist unit there buddy. Better have a look at it again. Yes, i didn't attached properly yet... Didn't dare to push/hold it right since the decal not properly cured yet.

About the weight of hg and rg, i don't have the same model to compare. But i don't think there's i significant difference between them.

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Oct 27 2014, 09:36 AM) There is if you hold them in one hand each, especially Strike Freedom. If you hold them by the legs, RG SF will be tilting back due to its internally-framed wings compared to the hollow HG SF  RG SF is not really pose able...i mean, i can be done but with a lot of frustration due to parts keep snapping out...and breaks. Both my RG SF waist railgun attachment part broke, and now glued to to body.

You just need to have patience and » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « lots and lots of carefully-positioned Blu Tac  And preseverance....or just cement those small parts.

QUOTE(snakevenom @ Oct 27 2014, 02:53 PM) PG Unicorn 3rd form? found this picture floating around in the internet.. [attachmentid=4188384] My guess is that you can use red led for red psycho frame or use yellow led to get green psycho frame. The frame is clear/white. Maybe can change colour using switch.

I think it'd might be better if the action base connector attached at the backpack like the justice. Easier to pose. This post has been edited by sphiroth: Oct 27 2014, 04:31 PM
