well..AFA 09 is on 22-23 Nov...so i would say PG 00 raiser would be out before the event is launch

LOL just wondering since the timing seems pretty fit in. wether I buy it or not depends on how the kit turn out ;)

wait for a while before buying it, i'm very interested too but i want to see some actual images of the kit, not just some computer generated ones. seriously the spinning GN drive gimmick is cool but you are not gonna use it all day long. probly just turn it on, marvel at it for a few minutes and then turn it off lol.

for such a high price, the mechanisms of the kit should be very impressive... i hope

I reckon it IS worth it, especially for the people in Japan.

I mean, PG Red Frame Astray was like 18,000 Yen? (around that, i cant rmb) and 00 Raiser is 26,250. Given that 00 has LEDs which light up and SPIN, plus so many weapons... AND if you're in Japan you get that base and the clear parts. It's hella worth it.

The people out of Japan would still get their full money's worth. I mean, only a few thing's been revealed so far and PG 00 Raiser already looks great. =D

Unlikely. The vast majority of the AFA-going crowd won't buy PGs.

arhhh
is really true that only people in japan can buy the clear part
man
how about people like me?

everyone who buys the kit will get the base so it isnt really all special to japan residents only. in regards to the clear parts, its not free and japan residents will have to pay for them as well. obviously if you are in japan, it would be much worth it becos u wont have to pay postage... *sigh* i wish i was in japan...

No.

According to the promo info provided by Bandai from the above. Both the stand and the clear outer armourings will be avaliable for the first batch of stocks.

That. Coupled with the current yen exchange rate will most likely wipe out your year-end bonus for this year. That's why I said with that kinds pricing, you can get yourself a new gaming hardware.

.....Unless you find some insider who is willing to sell you at the non-profit wholesale pricing Bandai is offering to retailers.

i recall from Ngeekhiong that he mentioned that clear parts will cost extra money, i dont understand jap so no use giving me that pdf >< so does that mean that clear parts and base is FREE for jap residents only or around the world???

Nah I'm not in Jap, but oh, you have to pay for the parts? Oh well, it's still a freaking awesome model. :/

i didnt say most crowd going there would get the kit. I am saying that 00 raiser launch high likely wld be before the event is here.

I my self have not get a PG kit as of yet

I've seen pictures of upcoming sangokuden kits. Meng Huo and some elephant. Can anyone confirm this?

Dalong has a review of Hail Buster:

so, its pilot is a BLING-BLING wearing Socius-type clone?
i hope he has the skills of Clint Eastwood when he handles that Buster during the battles,

Supposedly pre-order specials. But from my experience, Bandai will just dumped it along with the first batch of goods. No matter whether it's for domestic or overseas market.

So it all depends on how honest your retailer is if you want to have it. Some of the nasty ones will just debundle everything and sell it else where to rabid fanboys for extra income.

It had been out for the past couple of months. Next up will be Sun Ce and Jiang Wei. And we have a couple of Big Ones for X'mas :-

Wow I'm impressed about the look of the Hail Buster. I just might have to add that to my collection.

Seriously.... Combining together Neue Ziel, Char's Zaku, Psycho, Xi and Penelope Gundams together... That's supreme overkill.

To be honest, I was pretty surprise to see that it looks cooler than I ever expected. I ordered mine already :)

how are the articulations of the new seed gundams? are they as good as the new ones or as bad as the old seed 1/100s?

Exactly the same as the old 1/100's afaik
