it was molded there due to previous kits using them (usually the case)
better to use the same sprue than to take it out IMHO from their perspective

do correct me if i am wrong though sweat.gif

yup.. they just cast it all instead of wasting time and money putting in effort to remove the small pieces.. if it's an entire section, however, they can just easily stop the casting for that section, and you'll usually know these parts from the larger plastic knob on the runner
if it's just a few small parts in the middle of the runner they usually just give it to you and X it on the manual whistling.gif

GBFT has had some amazing suits, but i think the first to get the MG treatment might be Mega Shiki.. since Hyaku Shiki 2.0 was announced tongue.gif fingers crossed, of course!

i hope we see some MG FC kits 2.0.. my God Gundam is in serious need of better articulation and proportions.. so they can make Build Burning out of it too tongue.gif

I'm pretty sure bandai doesn't do painted prototypes that differ from the final product TOO much

As far as i remember, its usually resin prototype, then painted one pretty damn close to the finished product

its weapon isnt that big /bulky/heavy apart from the mega bazooka launcher which is not included. its should be fine.

I have nightmares regarding the 3.0 manipulators.. even without mentioning the terrible wrist, the fingers themselves always give me a feeling of dread when posing them, like i'm about to break something

on the bright side, the fingers r purely aesthetic and serve no purpose when it comes to holding on to stuff. The finger will not break, it'll pop off but u can pop it back in (i've pop off mine several times). Of course doing so will severely weaken the joint and it'll become loose, but since it pretty much does nothing anyway loose finger is not that big of a concern.

the wrist is the more critical prob for 3.0 manipulator and having heavy weapon will exacerbate it, as such i dont foresee that to cause much prob for hyaku shiki normal armament.

the 3.0 manipulator is flawed but its not godawful like the old 3-1 fingger. If the wrist was design like the 2.0 then it'll be much much better.
*
i'd much rather the fixed hands (that you have to split in 2 to put in the weapons) and they usually provide some good open hand ones.. much better to play with compared to the 3+1 and the movable thumb with swappable 4 fingers

Japan by law hav to advertise all their product inclusive of 8% tax and the tax its only applicable in Japan. When we buy it locally we dont pay the tax, we only look at the price printed on the box.

8% of 500yen + 500yen = 540yen. So the base price is 500yen hence thats the only pricing that matters to us.
*
no 8% but we get hit with import tax and seller's earnings.. the conversion rate is usually much lower than what we pay tongue.gif

but point is, yen price is a guideline.. as long as i'm not paying rm40plus for a 1000yen kit, i have no problems

HG not worth it if there's a MG la and you are really building it, but i said before HG is good for testing & experimenting & customizing, since they are cheaper to trash it in case fail and since there's alot more HG u can easily recycle parts from other kits. but for me i will test on MG since i can get MG at HG price.

Still waiting to know where u get your MGs from

But if u say u get MG God Gundam for HG Full Armor Unicorn price then i have nothing to say doh.gif

THAT ASIDE....
Hey guys, I've tried finding the differences in the HG Burning and HG Try Burning through pictures in the net, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? I feel like it's virtually almost the same kit, very middle modification or improvement? Can someone verify?
*
it's generally the same frame, slight difference at the arms, legs, and some parts at the shoulders, replaced with clear parts are some new parts but most of the frame and basic armor pieces are the exact same

long story short, exactly the same with the addition of one extra runner for armor changes, one runner for all the clear blue pieces and one extra runner for the fire effect parts that replace the clear blue pieces when he's in burning burst mode

Their promotion item on the pamphlet..well at least not interesting for me. But i do pay them a visit on the weekend as one thing that the warehouse did to improve is ensuring a sufficient supply of promotion item until the sales is over laugh.gif

By placing a price no sane person would look twice at? laugh.gif
