I will warn you that the Hrairoo needs alot of paint to look good, particularly yellow details such as thrusters and piping

The Teiren on the other hand in 1/100 only need a little gray/black and mostly detailing, and from your earlier posts, pencil will actually look AMAZING on it (the kits detail and solidness truly seems to make it feel and look like a MS Tank, so if you use pencil for the detailing, it will first stand out on green, and the metallic sheen will give that "metal showing through the paint" wear)

How unusually generous of bandai

[GundamGuy] MG 1/100 Universal Booster

Interesting how they seem to be releasing the MG Universe Booster as its own kit instead of being packaged as part of a MG Star Build Strike kit, although knowing Bandai they'll do so later anyway.

Well that's actually smart of them, is there any difference between the two strike besides the backpack? Because if not there's little to no use of buying both, and this might hurt the sales.

Just like what this man said in the comment section

I just wish they sold HG/MG Skygrasper, I'll buy three just so I can have every variant, and that assuming I don't go and buy IWSP for the hell or it.

The Star Build Strike has an additional large part on its leg, the new beam rifle, and the Absorb Shield.

I assume that the MG Universal Booster will come with all the additional parts for Star Build Strike? In addition to just the Booster?

If they don't come with the parts then Bandai is trolling the fanbase, because 2800 yen ain't cheap at all

That, or they go for the HG route...

Exclusive GOLD cross effect parts for plavsky gate. Regular release gets Blue WOL.

I Though Star Build Strike got both?

If there's any limited edition, it'll be pink prototype wings.

With regards to Sazabi, I wonder which variant that'll be as I can only recall the white version from Gunpla Builders.

2800 IS pretty cheap, considering how RG Skygrasper is already 2500yen

Well BSFB is 4200 yen so it'll be unfair if the Booster is standalone.:uhoh:

EDIT: sorry for a little spam, when HLJ said "December restock" does that mean the kit will be available somewhere in December?

I really, really want that 1/550 Dendrobium, if only for kitbashing purposes

Well they did show an HG 1/144 Crossbone X1 next to the F-91 in the display shelf at the Iori Hobbyshop in one of the episodes.:heh:

Can't read kanji but comparing at past boxarts, it's definitely "Gundam Exia" something...
