I see. Cause I bought the kit in Australia (currently studying) for about $65 which is around RM154+-.

So if I want to get kits, it's better I wait till I fly back to Malaysia to buy or should I buy from HLJ. Are they cheaper?

I got both HG Virtue and nadleeh already, dont think i want to get the 1/100 version. 1/100 is not anime accurate and the proportions quite strange...

00 Raiser review
http://d.hatena.ne.jp/type97/20081213#p1

My local shop restock 1/100 Astray Gold Frame Amatsu for this month. Around 3 or 4 boxes. Is this one worth your money? I means about the part's quality, the joint.... If OOB, is this kit have enough color? Cause the gold coating make me don't want to paint it. I hear there's some complains about the wings make its hard to stand. And the last reason is my place sell it with a high price - 860k VND, about 50 USD .

I don't see how the O-Riser helps, GN Drive joints are gonna be loose. Very loose. It seems to weigh down the gundam as well...

Hi another fella in Melbourne... Which part are you in, and where do you get your kits?

It's better to fly back to M'sia to get them... buying online is definitely cheaper than getting them in Aussie shops, yet if you add up the shipping costs it's still a bit overpriced compared to M'sia. But it's better than nothing if you're desperate for kits, I'll say fight the urge and save up until you get back though.

Amatsu... I don't have that kit, but from my experience with the 2ndL Blue Frame and the opinion from my friend who has the gold frame, keep away from this kit unless you really love it to bits.

1. The backpack. It's too big and heavy for the kit. Astrays have quite a lot of joints to provide the near MG articulation, but they are nowhere as sturdy as MG joints. The weight of the backpack tends to pull the mecha towards the rear end, hence adding more stress on the torso joint which allows forward and backward motion; and the weak ankle joints. You could get an action base to support it though.

2. The bling. Because of the bling, the price of this kit is quite high for a 1/100... You could easily get a SEED MG such as the Strike or Freedom which have better proportions and articulations. And you get the kickass catapult for the Strike

3. The neck joint is fixed and doesn't allow any articulation. The large horny, pointy parts around the head may possibly hinder some head movement as well. I'm not sure about the tightness of the head parts of the Amatsu, but the 2ndL's cheeks tend to drop out fairly easily.

Hope it helps.

wrong picture link, he wants Gold Frame, not Atasuki..

Hey. I'm currently staying at my relatives place but most likely moving into the city next year. And I usually get my kits, well since I just started, from a place my friend introduced to me. A shop near Lygon street.

Not sure if this is related...

Below link is the video for the recent BAKUC'08 Gundam Model Challenge Malaysia in Sungei Wang recently last month...

Anyone here know where I can buy the MSiAs from the Gundam 00 series???

OO Raiser looks awesome.

Alternative buster blade alike within OO raiser.

Wtf, that is O-Raiser??? Why so different from the others?!

If u say so, mind to tell us which part is different?

I hope you didn't get offended by the 'wtf'

Because I don't remember seeing those knee pads and the buster sword for O-Raiser...

Try Fantasy Toys at LY. The price isnt cheap though, rm 70++ iinm

we'll see it when dalong review the plamodel himself.
The kneepad could be some modification but the sword could be real.

guysnwanna ask.. is MG Infinite Justice rm220 and PG Strike 600 reasonable price? or can get cheaper?
