Two questions:

*Is there an news on

Spoiler for Mr. Bushido:

Since thaey haven't released even a name of the spoilered article, there not likely to be any information on a model kit yet.

[LightningZERO]

Although these 2 kits will be released eventually, probably February, no doubt

Oh well, at least that'll make his "meeting" with Louise much more convenient...

[JackRydden224]

Oh, Stereo Pony is going to sing the 2nd OP on 1/11 (episode 13-14?)

I'll tell you this, the 1/100 00 Raiser I ordered off RainbowTen had a 32-33 dollar-ish shipping rate for EMS. That should give u a clue. ~_~

[Kelrys]

The long beam sword from MG Impulse is like the long beam sword from MG Destiny right?

Well, they don't look exactly the same but their function is similar. Destiny was designed on the basis of Shinn's personal perfomance record so yeah... his love to big sword was kinda converted. I suppose it will be a helluva lot easier now to make a MG Sword Impulse.

Oh man, that's gonna cost more than a Hi-Nu at my local mitsuwa

Thanks man!

[Nerroth]

It's an epic battle...

Spoiler for ...of the BANDS!:

Nikushimi ni kawatteiku mae ni

Nani mo ka mo sou darou
Batsu no warui jijou ni wa itsu mo futashite
Kuwasemono no riaru

Yakusoku shita hazu no futari sae
Kizukazu toorisugiteyuku...

Miku: Yay!

Cherudim: I wouldn't mind establishing a lock-on right now...

i noticed a lot of people dont paint their models, is there a reason for that? its not really that hard to do and you get a much better end result. I’m not the best at painting but i just feel more accomplished when the model is done.

Well painting takes awhile, and I'm assuming the model kits you are seeing posted are fairly new ones. Basically, some people post picks of their models just to show off that they have the newest kits (nothing wrong with that). That, and as soon as a kit is released, people post reviews of the unpainted kits to show what you get and what it looks like before you detail it. Every once and awhile you get the people who post their amazingly painted kits.

That, and perhaps not everyone has the time or skills necessary to paint their kits. I don't paint my kits, primarily because I have neither the time nor the skills to make it look even half decent. The most I do is panel-lining.

[Nerroth]

In my case, I haven't painted a figure - be it a model kit or wargames miniature - in a long time, at this stage.

I don't have a huge amount of room here in Canada (most of my stuff is back in Ireland - though I do have the glue, pliers and modelling knife, I have nothing to paint with!) and I guess I'm happy enough, for the time being, with the way the models look as they are.

And also, while I didn't think of it at the time, I suppose if it helps anyone who doesn't own the kit to have an idea about what the unpainted kit would look like, well and good, I guess.

(Not that my crappy pics would do much in that regard...)
