The crosshair thingy is actually the targeting sensor. I think it's called Crystal Sensor or something

[Amber.Dawn]

Yeah, they're crosshairs I think.
Maybe it doesn't need it? More melee than medium to long range?

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Hm, now considering now that MSIA is dead and buried, and the Robot Damashii line is the end all be all of gundam action figures. I'm gonna use all my MSIA for spare parts and or making new weapons.

I'm using Tallgeese' mega cannon for the 00. I'll post pictures when I get it perfected.

Do any of you guys know of a website with good scans of the side cover of the gunpla ? 1999.co.jp has good scans of the front cover:

But besides that I'm needing something like this:

The reason for this is that I have a friend of mine in Japan who doesn't know ANYTHING about gunpla and I asked him to get me some. I made a very detailed list xD, front cover included, but it seems it wasn't enough since most of the gunpla are displayed like this in the shops.

i got a feeling that the 1/100 00 raiser will get a trans-am raiser release soon...

Just tell him to show the pictures/names to the store owner or something. I'm sure they'll help him locate the kits. Just make sure he knows what grade/scale you want for the kit.

Yeah, I think I'll do just that...maybe he was too shy to ask. Nobody speaks in english there anyway (at least that's what he told me, he's been in Japan for 4 days now).


Btw what does my second pic says ? 10 to 40 % discount maybe ? In this same thread, someone mentioned that they were selling Sinanju with a discount of 40 % in Japan a couple of weeks ago, so if anyone know of places with good discounts, please, say so (I guess Akihabara is the default choice though).

The pic is from a shop nearby Hiroshima, btw

Here's something I noticed...

Are you looking for Kampfer?
And was the pic of how the boxes were in a store from the same friend that's in Japan right now?

Cause the box was in front of him the whole time:

Just off in the corner

I hope I'm right about my assumptions >.<

There are another 5 ROBOT魂<SIDE MS> pictures which are not shown yet. I know 3 of the 5 are the Regnant, Trans Am Clear 00 Gundam, and Crossbone X1. Any idea what the other 2 are? Arche and Susanoo I hope.

Btw,
Side MS = Gundam
Side KMF = Code Geass
Side LFO = ???

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Hmm....well, lets see. Regnant, Crossbone, Arche, Susanoo, and Clear 00.

I think all those are about right.

There are only 2 unknown MS units now. As listed on that same page after the 0 Gundam, it is as follows:

Gadessa (Bring), ???, Crossbone Gundam X-1, Crossbone Gundam X-2 Kai, ???.

Since we know about Regnant and Trans Am Clear 00 Gundam, that should be it. Which means there are no more until they announce more figures in the Side MS line.

Mecha skunk do clear acrylic rods or alternatively you can go to any shop that sells acrylic rods and cut to required size. Fix to a flat display base such as a clear acrylic sheet cut to required size and wallah you have your own display stand.

Thanks for the translations. I didn't know about the Gadessa (Bring custom) and Crossbone X2. Any preview pictures of the X2?

OMG!!!..that Unicorn Gundam titanium finish look awesome.But where the black Unicorn gundam,maybe after Sinanju titanium ver get release...?

[StratoSpear]

Love the Titanium Finish Gundam Unicorn!

But the shiny "Trans-Am" Shibai Sazabi looks even badass!

[LightningZERO]

I honestly don't see much differences between that Unicorn and the normal version
