XL = Xiao Loong Shop. Located in Times Square, Ampang and Mid Valley (haven't go to the MV branch before.. sweat.gif )

I know guarantee Ampang store got AC stuff but a bit darn far from my place to go, cos' Ampang store is their wholesale store like a warehouse. I've been there once a long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..... biggrin.gif

The location of the Mid Valley one is on the same floor as the Haagen Daz. The store used to be called Bran Ryan. Opposite the store is a salon to cut hair. Level 1 or 2, not too sure.
That's the problem, man. Because of the fan support for Gundam and Transformers is bigger and stronger, that's why it is difficult to find AC stuff. But if all the AC fans out there decide to come out and demand for it, who knows. There maybe an increase in stock. After all, availability depends on demand and cost. rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

If you're going to the MV branch, make sure you keep us updated on whether the store sells AC stuff or not. Thanx, bro.

I stopped playing AC2 a long long long long time ago. Can't remember the name of the weapons but my favourite is that Machine Gun with 1400 bullets, the blade that can shoot off a wave attack and double-barreled miniguns on the back. Love AC2. drool.gif drool.gif

I've seen all the Armored Core model kits and I'm hoping that one day Kotobukiya will come out with the model without the normal 2 legs. You know, the AC has tank-legs, hovercraft as the part below for legs, or quad-legs like a spider (see picture below for more details. the red-circled part).

What you guys think?

Yup, I'm hoping to get 2 myself. One to build up normally, the other to custom made with my own weapons and stuff. icon_idea.gif

But whatever it is, will keep you guys updated on this model kit.

Actually you can, bro. All you need is to buy 2 different AC models and you can change their body parts around as you like. The AC model kits are created in a way that all joint parts are interchangeable with other AC parts. Here's another fact, Gundam weapons can also fit onto AC model kits but AC weapons can't fit on a Gundam model kit. tongue.gif

I'll post up pictures of my AC inter-changing their parts soon.

The quality of the plastic is pretty alright, about the same as the Gundam kits. I'm kinda dissapointed over the surface finishing though, which has got those plastic swirl marks, of which the slightly metallic surface makes it even more obvious, especially if you're not painting it.

Details, pretty detailed. I'll say that it's somewhere between the HGUC and MG when compared to the gundam kits. The pieces r smaller, which makes more details visible, but it lacks the internal frames that the MG gundam kits has got.

Overall, still pretty nice kits, with good poseability, but I had some problems with wobly knees on my Mirage C01-GAEA (pic as on the 2nd post in this thread). No idea if other kits has got the same knee problem or not.

I was thinking of repainting the White/Pink model but not in the near future yet. We'll see.

plus I'm trying to rig an AC model with 4 shoulder cannons. Only problem is that it may be too heavy to stand properly. laugh.gif

And I just bought 3 new Armored Core stuff today.....actually considered yesterday cos' as of now it's already 1240pm and it's officially passed Saturday.

Items bought:-
1. NX01 - Rayleonard 03 - Aaliyah drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif
2. AC-007 - Crest CR-C840/UL (Light Version) drool.gif drool.gif
3. Armored Core Weapon Unit 004 (Accessory) drool.gif

Pictures below. Check them you, guys. I haven't got the time to open them yet as, I just got back from Times Square. Busy busy busy busy.

And all cost me RM272....... way way way above my budget. cry.gif cry.gif cry.gif
I was only going to spend maybe around RM150 or RM180 the most. Mana tahu lar, I see the shop got so many choices until I drool all over the shop. drool.gif drool.gif drool.gif
Oh, well no more spending until next month when my paycheck comes in.

Promise I will post up the "end product" as soon as possible cos' I like to take my own bloody sweet time assembling a model kit. My last AC took me 3 weeks blink.gif shocking.gif. I know. I'm shocked myself. Some of my friends assemble model kits a lot faster. I have a friend who still holds the record among us. 55 mins notworthy.gif . I too hold a record. The longest. 3 weeks. laugh.gif

Thanx for your support out there people. You AC fans, ROCK!!! icon_rolleyes.gif icon_rolleyes.gif
