Alright, someone in 4chan was telling everyone, that the newer shipments of the MG AEUG Gundam Mark II Ver. 2.0 have the rotary waist like the Titans version now. Can anyone confirm this or not?
*
er correct me if im wrong...are u reffering to newer shipments of the MKII 2.0 or the MKII AEUG 2.0 already has this rotary waist?

storm V : i got confused with his statement and yours...so let him clarify the above first tongue.gif

i'll be going to af-shop tomorrow biggrin.gif just to pester him  thumbup.gif kekeke

i heard the uncle & aunty in time machine don't give good prices.. some forumers here  say their son derrick gives good prices (i don't know cos i never did buy anything from them) pls forgive me if i'm wrong on this notworthy.gif .

it's a 1/100 wave, LED Mirage boomerang unit, it came with a backpack (made of vinyl) n flame launcher... but i broke most of them in several falls  cry.gif  cry.gif so now tat's wats left of it.. kekeke it's sitting in my office now..
i bought it a long time ago.. i think it was about 200-300RM.. forgot.. painted it with cans sprays
if u r thinkin of getting this, well don't! unless u are a professional modeler (i'm not).. cos it's was a total NIGHTMARE to make.. tat's why mine are in pieces now  cry.gif

FSS has got the best designs by far.. but the plastic kits that wave makes really sux.. however, if you could get ur hands on those resin models from wave.. it's good.. but blardy expensive..
*
err...are u joining us tomolo?
coz we going as well brows.gif
going to pester him as well.. hahaha

Oh curse u!!! U got the thing i want!!! vmad.gif
Lol just kidding, how much u get it?
For me the plastic that Bandai produce is all the same now! No matter wat grade they all feel the same! If u want difference then try comparing Bandai ones with Kotobukiya one u can feel the difference!!!
*
lol actually u shud curse me...coz i got the last box in bts and his one is last box in ampang...but he got earlier than me , or u might wanna curse us both...we pakat get one tongue.gif

kotobukiya's kits got alot of bad comments too
cons
- weak manual , not so user friendly
- sharp parts
- harder to build than average bandai kits, coz smaller parts, hard to snap together certain parts


pros
- good colour seperation
- for me, save my time from painting it again biggrin.gif
- looks good oob

er articulation wise and plastic quality..i believe this depends on the model
older MG from bandai has weak plastic quality..where as kotobukiya's quality are more streamlined

yea the controversial huckebein unit..many arguements about it..i believe he is a double sider tongue.gif
well from what i could say..most robot fans should at least played some srw games...the recent gunpla from kotobukiya are all from the SRW : original generation, both a game and a anime series

actually SRW : OG is the incarnation of gundam in someway, the series starts with the real personal trooper aka Real Type robots (similar class like gundam) which later accompanied by Super Robots
if you follow the series well, its really follow up like the universe in gundam already...all robots are step by step evolving , like how the guarlion which later advanced to fairlion

recommend robot fans to check it out although the animation and production of the anime is abit weak..cant compare with the production of gundam seed..check out the great intro song by JAM too rclxms.gif

Hmm.. anybody seen much of the Gundam Sentinel series? There's supposed to be one particular one that's almost the size of the Denrobium too. Cant remember the name now, but it used to be displayed in a glass case at that hobby shop that used to be at 1U, near the cinema. Dun think its any of the normal kits though, most likely to be a garage kit.
*
i think you're reffering to gundam plan 303E deep striker?
yea its really huge too, basically imagine an Ex-S MG with added booster packs and a friggin long range weapon
it should be far bigger than dendrobium , its height at least

Then again, notice the hole in the middle? Bandai cutting costs....

9 boxes still ok..
but what if you got almost 30 boxes and all also in the long queue to be build..
lao eh..if only got extra hours per day..

i think most of us are encountering this dilemma
work work and not enough time to play..so pathetic that it can take me 6 months to build a MG (last one was ReGz)
happiness in some way i suppose
still your hands always felt itchy to build the latest one blush.gif

U wanna create a Diorama izit?  laugh.gif
It's pretty cheap huh? 3000 yen for a V2 MG  hmm.gif

BTW, anyone of ere collect HCM Pro?was thinking of getting one...
What's it made of?rubber like gashapon of normal gundam plastics?
it's pretty flexible rite? (saw Sazabi's high kick tat can only b done by a few MGs)
Izit ok to get one?  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
*
Hcm pro only drawback is small and expensive
so small that u can even play it in the car thumbup.gif
flexible and articulate...i wish the joint system is copied for gunplas too
if u compare revoltech's robo articulation and hcm pro articulation...revoltech system allows more variety of poses, but hcm provides more realistic restriction for poses on a gundam
its made of plastic too, alot neat parts, and the joints..it doesn't wear out fast
you also need to do some assembling job for certain parts, like weapons
