Yes, its my own opinion. Maybe I'm just thinking to much....


To quoted a line from the Lego movie, 'it is recommended for aged 14 and above, they need to put it there'.

"it was a sophisticated interlocking brick system",
" but we bought it at a toy shop"

That movie made me felt a bit guilty to my kid since all my Lego collection is off limits.

i funded some MG n HG for my 9year old lil bro...
share the moment, at least his grinding his brain learning how to read manual and stuff...

Speaking of which..On a not really related topic.

My 17 years old cousin cannot even imagine how to assemble these "insanely" (according to him) sophisticated Gunpla. He asked, what if you cannot figure out how to do it? What if you did it wrong?

With all due respect, I really think kids this gen are playing a little too much of video games. A little handcraft and skills will be healthy for them.

I know I will share the love of Gunpla with my kids in the future. I am going to start with SD Hi Nu Gundam.

Well it's easy to be overwhelmed.. I started when I was in Secondary school from SD > 1/100 > HG > MG

Latest challenge will try to apply Spray Can Top Coating.. still no courage/dedication to try spray painting...

Now go picture in your mind; Next-gen 17 year olds who cannot imagine how to play "complex" physic-based games like angry bird. "What if you missed the pig!?"

TBH i feel all 'creating' hobbies are good. Lego, gunpla, transformers etc. Just that due to the nature of the licenses etc, they're quite expensive.

Inb4 video games also got benefits i.e. driving etc.

if it is in kl i would buy that kit in a heartbeat.

edit: toy ker, model kit ker, what is the difference? Semantics jer

the first step is always the hardest
it gets better the next time he assembles

i do agree with you that handicraft and skills hobbies are very good for brain stimulation

This thread has been cold for the last one or two days.

Here's my current WIP. Completed the build, untouched except for the gold painted horns and the mane (folded in the backpack). Going to paint the exposed inner frame with gunmetal (or I do believe silver also works well with the black armor contrast). Decal and topcoat afterwards

pending decal on MG X

for me it's the problem of his manual reading skills

Ai, my place here have limited choice to choose. Not much interesting. Will try heading to akiharabara this weekend to check around.

issit panel lining + matt top coat?

Those decals reminds me of DG cells.

panel line yes..
topcoat, not yet.. huhuhu

this one Times Square GA got accept PO. RM145 for PO, which is still acceptable IMO.

I have a question, since the Strike Ver RM. Launcher and Sword pack is P-Bandai Limited and price is sky high now, thinking to get the old Launcher/Sword strike with the new Ver. RM decals, since both of them uses the same mould. Did Bandai sell just the weapon for MG 1/100 previously, or it's actually in the MG 1/100 Launcher/Sword Strike Gundam box?

in a box

hmm, thanks. Perhaps I can try out custom color scheme with the spare strike then XD

btw who else here PO the Hi-Nu Ver.ka?
