2600 Yen. Same pricing as Kyrios and 200 Yen cheaper than Astraea. Quit a good pricing, if you ask me.

Really? Aren't gimmicks like that costly? Or is it even a light, I wonder?

It's printed right there on the promo sheet that the 1/100 OO will be priced at 2600 yen and Kyrios is also priced the same on HLJ.

It's really electroically charged here. The trick to getting the price down, if you look further, is at the cross section of the GN Drive on the lower left which seems to be using a very small lamp there.

count me a lazy person lol

alright MG IJ does indeed look nice....will it be like Force Impulse which is not given a stand?

[LightningZERO]

I'm surprised that there's no special edition

[StratoSpear]

Looks like MG IJ can do a perfect split. Lol! Why not make a Lancelot pose with one?

You know, I thought it'd be fun to post this for a trip down memory lane. The reason why it looks awkward is because we were always used to seeing it at this angle:



With that new promo pic, looks like the MG IJ will have the better poseability of the 3 Gundams (Destiny and SF being the other two).

I'm feeling the urge to mod that backpack into all the other MG's lol

On a side note, I do hope they have the best of technology concerning the 1/100 OO's shoulders, those seem like some very heavy shoulders

You know, I have always wondered wtf was Shin trying to do in that scene. Kick the IJ in the balls or something? it was pretty obvious the knee beam blades would pwn him good lol

That's what you get for going against the Rules of Gundam Physics 101; Beam Saber Trumps A.L.L

Uhh.. can someone tell me what those black things on Infinite Justice's flight pack are? It's on top of the flight pack, near the "intake" vents. Certainly don't remember seeing them on my 1/100 I-Justice.

Edit: They're clearly visible on the backpack closeup picture MakubeX2 posted on the previous page.

Likely intake vents, or part of the intake vents. Normally I'd say missile tubes, but the Infinite Justice's subflight lifter is only equipped with beam cannons and beam blades.

I have an idea of what Shin was trying to do. Look back at ep 41, or 42, whatever the one is when Athrun debuted in the IJ, look ahead to when Shin and Lazer Barrel go up against Kira. Shin, thinking he can give his Burning Palm a try, tries to do so, but Kira in all his easiness simply kicks Destiny in the chin er Shin and poor Shin goes tumbling down

So, since Shin's hands got blown off later on he thinks "if God Kira can kick, so can I!"

(You can also see the above mentioned scenes in the final episode of the Destiny Specials, I believe it is IV. It's where my beloved screenshots came from)


By the way, I'm lovin' the 1/144 GN Arms Type D, but my god that little Lockon figure better be pre-painted or else I'll need to paint that under a microscope
