Actually I dont mind if they use back the old mold or even old design with minor change.....

I just can't accept the size of the new Sanguo BB.
How to put them together as some of them are much more shorter. Damn, Bandai!!

Same to me. BB poison is deep inside me
I will still buy it as I still have a dream to keep at least one for each BB number, unless they dont have number for that. (Weird guy, just buy becoz of the BB number)

From the picture, it seems like these 2 kits will be a little bit smaller like the infantry size, I guess.

Still, I can't accept these small Sanguo kits.

From a forum, I saw the news that Bandai will release 12 of these 'smaller size' kits. Sigh....

Welcome to the SD world.....
From a small group of member, it is now growing bigger and bigger.....
Glad to see that there are still lot of ppl that like SD Gundam.....

Cool, a lot of paint can at the back....
Doesn't look like a newbie

Wow, that is attractive.
I dont see this kind of sales in Penang.

Only in KL?

I like the dio....
Looks simple and damn nice.
Sand is a good idea, I have collected a bottle sand and waiting to do something like this.....

One thing is, if you still want to keep the lake, perhaps, you can make some layer instead of the lake and the land are at same level......
But anyway, the dio is really nice with the color.

I like your zaku shading as well.....

New RX-78-2....
Can check from 1999.c0.jp site.

http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10091660

Actually info from other forums, this new rx-78-2 has the same mold as SD BB# 236, which is totally different from BB# 200.
And Bandai claims that they have new design for the shield and weapon (but the shield just comes in one mold...... Damn)

Seems like this new rx-78-2 has nothing special from 236 and 200.
Bandai just want to milk money from our pocket because of 30th anniversary.

I am fans of Strike Freedom and Infinite Justice....
So, sure I will go for Strike Freedom.....

Found a china-made yuan shao in some other forum.



Yuan Shao

I strongly feel that this products are much more better than Bandai, compared to recent Bandai's product, such as remold RX-78-2 (which they claim to be their 30th anniversary products, what a shame to Bandai), shorter Sanguo series design.

I start to feel very disappointed on Bandai new marketing strategy on their 30th anniversary.

I start to like these china-made products although they are 'pirated'.
May want to buy this yuan shao, seeing the quality start to get better compared to previous products.

People are improving but Bandai, they are moving backward. Sigh

Sorry for all the complaints. I can't tahan anymore.
How I wish I have a channel to feedback all this to Bandai.......

Wake Up, Bandai!!!!!

Reviewing on new release and upcoming release:

RX-78-2
- Using old mold as SD Perfect gundam, only new is the weapon set, but shield is in one mold, shit! Adding one new but taking another back from us. This is what you called new design, Bandai? And some more is sold at 800yen.

Koumei enhancement mode
- This is good, I like the design

Meng Huo & Zhu Rong boxset
- This is not that bad too, at least they didn't use back old mold.

Nanman rider set
- This is really milking our money. Do you think we are dump, Bndai?

New Japanese musha series (dunno what it is called in English)
- Using old mold but mix and match with new helmet design. I still ok with it although it is claimed that they are using old mold.

0 gundam
- To me, it looks like that RX-78-2. Most probably, part of that RX-78-2 will be used for this also.

Gundam Exia R2
- Another stupid release. So far, still no one can spot the difference between this and the old one. (Bandai, you want us to play 'Spot the difference' game?)

Sanguo 'dwarf' series
- Nothing to say for this.

Any comments from you guys?

Haha, I called it dwarf series because they are shorter in design, just jing_kohkoh mentioned.
Dont worry, it will be only released by next month.

Heard that is not just 2, right? Total 12 in design that will be that short......

SEED series is the best so far.
You should collect them.

Senyap saje this thread over the weekend.....

Full reviews on SD#329 RX-78-2:
http://omocyanosiro.sakura.ne.jp/BBsennshi...mekara-REB.html

From the pictures, only improvent compared to BB#200 is the leg portion and the decal.
But degraded parts:
1. Can't see the (partial) internal frame like BB#200. (BB#200 's head can be opened up showing the internal, shoulder as well)
2. Lesser parts on the head part, means harder to paint if you want to paint separate color.
3. Shield comes in one part.
4. Missing the core fighter.
5. Sold in 800yen while BB#200 just 500yen. Damn extra 300yen for downgrade items?

I dont see the reason why this kit can be sold at 800yen.

Post some pictures of my half done kits:

Have been working on this for quite some times. But still havent done yet.
Going to work on the hand now. Wanna make it to movable.





Before completing the 00 Gundam, I am going to start another Sanguo characters:
First with the horse:
Do nothing yet, just fill putty on the hole. And cut some parts on the leg.
Looks weird on horse with holes here and there and some unnecessary 'connectors'. Will need to cover seamlines then.
Any suggestion to which color? Feeling like to color to brown and yellow.


Snapfitted Sun Shang Xiang, will fill holes with putty then.
No photo for her since no extra work on her.

Actually I didnt do much on the 00 Gundam also.
Still need to keep on practicing. Not good in masking.
Just follow back the color.
And if look in closer, you will see a lot of flaws, just that I didnt show it thru so few photos.

Will need to wait for another couple of weeks when I go back to hometown cause I only do the spray work when back to hometown.
Need to finish my 00 gundam first, if not, it will be left aside until I forget. (not the first case)

Office pc block photobucket?
Too bad.....

For HLJ, the way they categorize their product is a bit weird one.
For example, SD Gundam has been separated into two which should have cover all the SD (but I dont see SDX there):
