seems like GA has starting to implement 6% into their items (that's expected)...
just check their website (if they open PO for RG 00 Raiser) and i notice some items price has gone up...like MG MSZ-006-3B Zeta Gundam Unit 3B-Type (Gray Zeta)...used to be RM368 and now is RM394, that's slightly over 6% increase...
would prefer to get from them, as they get stocks quite fast...
but since i'm bit worry on the GST impact, i might PO RG 00 Raiser from Gwing, which currently RM90...

they usually do that for add-on parts from time to time
P-bandai is usually made based on order, easy profit since no wastage/unsold items hmm.gif
*
didnt know about that...has been thinking that p-bandai stuff (no matter is kit or add-on parts) is only available while stock last...
might just get the wing expansion for strike freedom if the price is reasonable...

darn, that is one good looking gundam...really liking RG, as it is really detailed, no need to do that much panel lining (compare to HG) and it already looked good out of the box...

There are lots of panel lines and parts separation in RG, that's why it gained the famous title of PG in 1/144 biggrin.gif

after seeing your MKII, i feel like getting it instead of MG Gundam Exia DM... sweat.gif
was thinking of getting MG Gundam Exia DM so that i can assemble Gundam Exia in DM colours, as i read some comment online that the runners are almost the same as the Exia R2...

hi guys. is epyon gundam MG worth buying? rm190 at gundam.my?

to me, it depends on how much you like the kit and are you willing to pay that price for the kit...
gamers arena, gwing and gundam head have cheaper price, but all out of stock for the kit...

mf_yamato that one good looking DX... thumbup.gif

i really wish i got some of the skill that you have on assembling gundam...

QUOTE(monked @ Apr 20 2015, 04:40 PM)
wondering which range do you guys prefers?

I build 2 MG model but it takes up a lot space, just wondering is RG nice? I choose MG because of the details.

Seems that a lot people are going for HG model too?
*
i would prefer either RG / MG...
mainly because i dont have the equipment or "skills" to add in details...
RG and MG colour are quite accurate and have plenty of details thus i dont need to do much to add in more details...
however, i do use gundam marker to do some panel lining..

but i would still go for HG for gundams that are not available in RG or MG...

i totally agree with what cacin said, gunpla is a hobby that heavily depends how much effort and cost you are willing to spend on it...
with the right determination even a HG can look magnificent...



finally MG 00 Gundam 7 swords/G have arrived, going to take my time to assemble it and test out the LED on it...
keep me occupied until RG 00 Raiser arrive...

That is a "flaw" or was it your mistake that you broke it ?

i remembered watching a review on RG exia trans-am mode, the reviewer mentioned that the "red" colour seems like another color coating on top of the original, so the parts would be tighter than the normal RG exia...

Those shine seems more like a pearl injection kit.
They tend to break easily.

that would explain fragility of the trans-am kit...

BTW, anyone went to Gamers Arena lately?
they seems to quiet lately...

thanks for the update...
though i just notice that they said shipment arrived (through FB)...
seems like honoo has arrived...

might drop by this or next weekend...
not buying anything specific yet, just want to see what they have back in stock..

edit: while googling for MG 00 Gundam 7 swords gunpla pics, saw this pic that really caught my attention...
i'm really liking the color scheme and IMO, looks better than the original [Q]uanta...
Credit to the original owner...cant seems to load the site though...

Took 2 night to do all the body decals, now have to work on the weapons

Credit to mooncake81 for the awesome decals
*
nice decals i have to say....
make me feel like look for 3rd party decals for 00 gundam seven swords/g as i feel it is rather "plain"...


finished up 00 gundam seven swords/g, bought 2 LEDs to test out...not bad i have to say, though i'm not going to put it in as it kinda hard to turn on the LED, and posing take lots of patience with those heavy weapons...

and guess what, bough another kit and it just arrived today, the gundam delta kai...
dont really mind that it is a really part-former gundam, the wave rider mode is just too cool to pass...
even the MS mode looks kinda cool...

bear in mind gwing's stock are always a month late whistling.gif
u have better chance buying it earlier at retail

guess no choice, have to wait for now...else if GA get their stock earlier might get from them then sell the one i order from gwing...

QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ May 3 2015, 04:59 AM)
Buy online, there are many good websites. I personally prefer amiami.com due to cheaper price and freight cost.

If you buy only one kit, it's going to be more expensive when the kit is available locally. Purchasing 3-4 kits at once can offset the shipping cost and then they will be cheaper than local price.

thanks for the website, will definitely considering getting kits from this website, since the price is quite good... biggrin.gif
now just have to jaga wallet icon_question.gif

anyone went to GA lately?
from their FB they opened PO for some premium bandai stuff but didnt state the price...
so if anyone pass by and happen to check out the price, do put it here if possible...

interested in the wings of light for RG strike freedom...
and still deciding either MG 1/100 MSZ-006P2/3C Zeta Gundam Unit 3 P2 Type Red Zeta or MG 1/100 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee Norn (Final Battle Ver.)...

wings of light I think about 90-100
as for the MG usually 300-330 each. I'd prefer the red zeta, more unique compared to banshee norn whistling.gif
*
oh thanks for the price estimation...i can now estimate my budget...
i also was expecting around there, but GA was selling RM368 (if im not mistaken) MG MSZ-006-3B Zeta Gundam Unit 3B-Type (Gray Zeta), then after GST, went up to RM394...

yeah, that z3 red zeta, got that "evil" look to it...
besides is red, at least it different color, my display cabinet mostly blue (as this is the main gundam "color")...

Nice, lucky i didnt buy the MG Astray Red Frame Kai yet...
will definitely get this...



QUOTE(:3mushy:3 @ May 14 2015, 09:44 AM)
Not surprising, the theory that PG -> RG has been proven again and again.

Expect chrome katana like Exia brows.gif
*
i hope so, cause the "gold" at the sword on the MG is a bit "underwhelming"...

does that mean RG unicorn gundam is a possibility?

Extremely low possibility unless they did partformers or two versions like the hguc.
*
i dont really mind if it is not "transformable"...
maybe they could include all the parts for unicorn and destroy mode, but can only assemble in one mode...this way can choose which mode to build...

I like the MG unicorn, but i kinda having problem posing with it, as some of the "transforming" parts seems to come off easily (but that could be just me)...

It does come off easily. I read a review on PG unicorn that some of its parts also came off easily.

oh, it does? even PG have that issue... sweat.gif

no wonder some don't really like "transformable" gundam...
now i kinda understand why...have 2 "trasnsformable" and the partformer seems much more sturdier and less chances of parts popping out...
