and when you want a HG, you wanna pay attention to the scale of the model, for example, 1:100 is always more detailed than 1:144, always................

I love gundam models..

Yeah,I love it too.Well I've got the 1/100 IJustice & it head is small,man i gotta have that MG IJ.

Here's a question: Do Seravee's Shoulder mounted cannons turn much? Like can they rotate and fire backwards or sideways? Or do they just fire forwards?

[MeesesGlokmah]

I too have a question: I just ordered some models on HLJ for the first time, a couple of days ago. They sent an e-mail telling me that they would send me billing info, but it hasn't come yet. I was just wondering, does it usually take awhile for the billing e-mails to arrive?

The cannon's mounts seem to be designed to rotate backwards, so it seems likely, although we'll probably never see it used as such in animation anyway.

billing , order request or any other email concerning about the order are usually sent after u order the item or paid for it

[Scavenger]

HLJ is slow. It took a while before they send me billing info. Don't worry. I also placed my first order (not counting my preorders) and it's still in processing shipping state since monday. Now it's weekend and they don't ship in weekends.

I always hope they manufacture the mass-production mobile suits in FG or NG, like the Flags and Enact.

I pay with Paypal.

With the revelation of how Awesomely Spectacular the 00 Gundam + 0-Riser combination is... I imagine the amount of people now waiting for the inevitable HG 00 Gundam + 0-Riser (helps explain what the hole on the backpack is for).

[duotiga]

looking @ cherudim , i wonder what gattai would it be for the top part of the backpack? more canons/missile launcher? XD

Spoiler:

Man this season of 00 is more than meets the eye.....

[LightningZERO]

So the gattai will be backpack equipping instead of combining literary. I guess Cherudim will get more guns. I feel cheated way back when Dynames was first annouced, it was stated that it has different guns for different missions, but we only saw very few. Now I hope Cherudim will use more different guns

Well, they did mention that second season will be focused on "combination" and "transformation", so its wont be too surprising for the other Gundams to have extra gears and backpacks as well.

[RAVNEN]

Hopefully Cherudim don't use spamming tactics.
Maybe Cherudim get a Big GN Orbital Launcher,goodbye to orbital target then.

If the Robot Damashii model is any indication, seems the Cherudim's backpack carries pop-out GN Condensers, for what purpose as yet unknown.

It did have different guns though, including the SubOrbital Sniping Cannon, and the GN Torpedo Launcher on the Dynames Torpedo.

since we saw 00 GN Sword II beam saber mode, i can safely assume cherudim GN Pistol II will double up as a beam saber also?

[LightningZERO]

Maybe yes...maybe no. But I prefer them to function as axes. It's cooler

[RAVNEN]

If it just function as axe,then the axe have some GN particle coating on it?Sweet!!!

[LightningZERO]

Huh? You're going to get all 1/100 00 Gundam sets?

I decide to get thr 1/100 00 Gundam now instead of the 1/144. But now I don't know if I can justify myself to buy a MG version of it when it is made, unless it looks significantly different, or with some special add-ons
