Back when Amazon.com had it's Gundam sale, they had various Gundam kits for sale for real cheap prices....... One of them was the PG 1/60 Wing Zero Custom for $20US like mentioned above.

A bit hard to believe in it eventhough many mentioned the US$20 PG kits. That's like selling below the cost of producing it. But then, people said that...

MG Strike IWSP Preview

The Box Art looks nice. But it's too flat for a MG Box Art.

We'll see if this is the real thing in a week or 2.

[duotiga]

MOst Prob the box size will be the same as MG Freedom and MG Aile Strike.....

No. What I meant was that there's a lack of 3D effects.

[dodgethis_sg]

At least the box art looks better than the shit that was the F91's.

Hmm the MG IWSP won't fit for the PG Strike will it?

[LightningZERO]

That's boxart is just amazing!

[Johnny Ridden]

The MG F91 and MG Crossbone X-1 are godly...

Oh it exists...



Just be prepared to shell out $180. ^^

I'm thinking about getting one myself, granted these next two months aren't the best times to be buying $180 model parts. XD

[Shiro Amada]

Also be aware that they are resin, so be prepared for lots of cleaning up and glueing and painting. I myself am waiting for A MG V2. V2 Assault or V2-Assault-Buster. Of course, my modelling budget is going to be severly damaged with the purchase of my MG Ex-S and by 1/400 Neue Ziel and Dendrobium.

P.S. the webpage has some high-quality pics so it may take a while to fully load.

Not sure if this was posted before, but it's about time GSD has a real MG treatment:

Can't do anything but cry, Shinn XD

Now, I can complete the Strike Freedom collection properly. Why? It will be really really hilarious seeing the SF evolve through all these different sized, different looking models grow into this awesome MG version. Almost as if the 1/60 Lightning edition got shrunk and detailed up

Bandai!! It's so good to be alive

[aikming]

Ha ha Tak, u sucumb to it. Where did you pre-order it?

By the way, saw 4 of your 1/100 box and came across a Q. Any idea, why they often produce 1/100 scale models but not MG grade which are 1/100 scale anyway?

As for your boxes, probably you can place those smaller box inside bigger box, but looking at your photo. Seems like none can fit into each other. Probably the HG can fit into the MG box (which I did with).

Also mind if we see a photo of your Gundam collection. Curious to see.

Well, if you compare the parts with a MG and a HG, its not difficult to notice the sphistication of the former... and far more detailing too, with clear lines here n' there

HG boxes are taller than MG ones. Weird, huh?

Those boxes are my Gundam collection, well, 35% of it Oh, the actual kits! Maybe later

- Anyone want to help 'liberate' a MG GP01 for CHEAP* before I take its virginity? -
