It's possible. The smaller shops or the 2nd hand shops(of which there are many) are your best bets. I've sighted p-bandai exclusives like the MG destiny impulse and MG astray red frame in those shops, just have to keep your eyes peeled.

As a quick note, be careful of where you get the Zeta Plus from, it had a recall issue earlier on (due to a mold defect on the head). It should not be a problem now but just a warning if you are getting from some sort of secondhand place.
Otherwise though its a really good kit from all the reviews I have seen on Youtube Note its also a parts-former, though I really have no idea why people have such issues with it. So much more sturdy and reliable than a fully transforming kit |

Sometimes I wonder how I even pulled off assembling the RG Freedom, haha. Posted a few days ago I couldn't get it to hold the beam saber and rifle, and well, I really couldn't @ the saber. But then yesterday I was playing with it and I noticed that I'd been doing it wrong all along. It always did seem weird to me, but I was trying to somehow fit the rifle on the 'RG hands' instead of using the specific ones for holding the rifle, which I didn't even notice existed until I looked at the manual again, lol.
Well, it's all cool now, lol. And speaking of which, got my RG Justice ordered too. Can't wait til it gets here so I can get the Freedom's partner in crime standing next to him~

Then bam. Thanks though! ^^ Practically, the guy just built a human-sized mobile suit. I suppose it counts in my book. :P

The HG's fingers might have been able to emulate the articulation range of a spread hand as shown in the pic if they had just been more tapered instead of flat and chunky. Well High Grades has always just been to fulfill the basic design elements of a model instead of fulfilling every gimmick or function it might carry. I find Robot Damashiis' tend to carry out that promise better, at a much much higher price point of course.

Bandai just cant seem to get the long flexible arms/extensions right, hence why we don't see new kits for units like the Altron EW |

Thanks! A local model kit shop owner said the same thing when I showed it to him earlier
Still, there are some scratches at the sides of the waist because I tried to separate the parts after I missed a couple of polycaps. Luckily, there's no need for putty to fix the damage.
