Oo thanks for the feedback but just wanted to ask around cause curious since he/she labelled the kits as limited edition. Is that like super special or one of those promotional gimmicks?

RM 200 is reasonable for a set of 5 HGs.

Thanks for the info but I can't seem to find any info of how the units look like on the web. Anyone has any idea what these units look like?

dont worth

if you want limited kit get the gunpla who marked as P-Bandai release
some of them more nice than this release,
this is just an old kit which have obsolete articulation and design

oo whats P-Bandai release? is it available in msia?

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ Apr 8 2015, 10:30 PM)
Just google aile strike deactivate mode for reference. However, please remember that these are pre-Remaster HG version which have bad proportions and articulation. For what it's worth, only you can decide whether your money is well spent on.

If you really want a cool looking SEED kit, you should get the SEED Remaster version, newer and better proportion and articulation.

Oh okok thanks for the info ^^

200 is fair for the set, but he's doing auction style so there might be a chance the price will be higher
but if you're a SEED fan, the novelty value is there.. each HG is about RM40 range anyway, so 5 for 200 is fair and it's a more limited item

the units are basically just light grey as appeared in the anime when they haven't turned on their phase shift armor.. whether you want to pick it up or not is dependant on whether or not you like owning these rather rare items versus how much you need to pay for them
*
Hmm limited edition vs RM 200 >< actually was thinking of getting a hi-nu ver KA MG which do you think would be better. Oh by the way some of you mentioned that the articulation is bad. Is it like loose joints or like very restricted movement? Also relativism question: if you had RM200 would you go for the 5 set HG or go for the MG Hi-Nu tongue.gif need some opinions to make decision

Hehe kinda feel that way too. Personally am a SEED fan but recently made a sinanju and a nu gundam so kinda tempted to complete the set smile.gif

I feel so too but the RE100 looks so bland.... Also what are you guys' opinion on those SD/BB models. They look so cute! Are they worth getting?

Paint-related questions:

1.  Where do you guys buy your paints?  I'm looking at acrylics for hand-brusing and spray-can enamels for base paints.

2.  Can craft acrylic paints that you can find in arts supply shops be used for painting gunpla?

3.  I've read around and it seems that some acrylic paints will glob up if you try to thin them with water and some will thin just fine.  Can the standard Tamiya paints that you can find in shops like Time Machine in Times Square be diluted with water?

4.  What is the recommended ratio for thinning acrylic paints for hand-painting in Malaysia?

5.  Is it safe to use spray-can top-coats on acrylic paint layers?

Um if you need Mr. Color paints for like an airbrush I can actually get them for RM10 each in bulk from a friend. Is that what you're looking for?
