There's this mixed feeling of going to the expo.

With the air quality is getting better, finally I can restart ABing outside.

Yes sharpie and zippo are 100% Gunpla safe.

You need to quote people properly.

The Gunpla expo hype is very, quiet, no?

Just keep an open mind to new series, everyone will be fine.

I might return empty-handed since there'll be no interesting kit this year.

Well, generally a bit more expensive than hobby shop price, but not to the crazy level of retail prices at Toys r Us or hypermarkets. Still worth it to buy there if hobby shops are far from your home and the IPC is near. For an HG, we are talking about RM5-RM10 more expensive.

The pour pen is very useful for RG, I like it very much Although it dries faster, a hard rub with your thumb will usually do the job to clean the excess ink. Or just use zippo.

Still one of the best designs in my opinion, I'm sure others agree too. It looks very slick. If you don't really put your kit in action pose, by all means please get it. It already looks great in standing pose, just like its brother Unicorn. But that's just it, the hands are weak, the funnel joints would fumble easily.

That's OOB build, of course you can always strengthen the wrists and funnel joints using hard glue, blu tack and double sided tape.

First of all I don't use it very much, just a light touch or tap. If thumb rubbing doesn't work (but it does, most of the time), wipe the area with water first, wipe it dry, then wip with zippo. So far I've never faced with unreasable pour ink.

Gundam Markers are not made by Bandai, thus Litttak do not carry this officially. There are markers sold at th expo, but I think it's more of a side business by the staffs.

How to deal with backlogs:

Start removing parts from a runner.

So it starts again, the guessing game of RG once the latest one is released. This is futile and we all should just give in to Bandai to kick our asses.

As something that you would put on external factors a lot, I wouldn't use a case that its main selling point is the external design.

If you want to 'play', please get Robot Damashi or Metal Build, their joints can take heavier 'punishment'.

Lol nothing interesting at expo, already left

Not really, only the Try Burning.

Among things I noticed:

Some prices were confusingly tagged. A few Nu Ka Titanium were priced at 575, some were 400.
You would have guessed that at least some IBO kits would have been on sale, but no.
There was a fat Armuro Ray.
Biggest gripe: Let's take a guess game how many people didn't bathe this morning.

Yeah, I thought of getting one or two IBO kits since I was lazy to go to BTS, but the prices are much higher than last year expo.

They are displayed, if you went there first thing in the morning of the first day, of course they are were not on display yet.

If it stays the same like previous two years, yes they will restock everyday.

Even with all the more expensive pricing, yet many people bagged those kits home

Facing the cashier. You all might have a better chance starting tomorrow as it's working day.

It was a really bad judgment by Litt Tak, overestimating the value. I mean, if it was a titanium finish, then fine, please do that, but it was just an extra finish.

If it was RM190, it would still be OK although it would be pushing it already.

Overestimating or over ambitious sales forecast maybe.
