I feel your pain, broken parts DOES = :frustrated: destiny could have had better parts, infinite justice just outshines it, but yeh what i do some times if in the situation allows it, i dismantle the area with the break and super glue the broke peice only so that when i reconstruct it there is still movement but it can sumtimes break again, but yeh obviously isnt applicable all the time

I have finished my HG Nu-Gundam
Lol, it made the Hg 00 look like a child :heh:

You are driving me crazy man... Now I can't wait to get my first HGUC!!!:D

i bought my first HGUC 2 days ago, Gp02a and i must admit, for a HG this kit is AMAZING. I think you will love your first HGUC, i look forward to buying more HGUC's in the future :D i'd recommend it for everyone, the detailing is superb :)

I was thinking about doing this, but the prob is, it's on the polycap part (the part that goes into the gray part), so the only way for me to get that out is for me to kinda tear it out with something pointy. If i did that, i run the risk of making that part damaged in a completely different manner. Bah. i think i'll just leave it.

Wonder how my FB Strike Freedom is gonna be. I already KNOW there's a flaw in its wings :(

But i am lookin forward to Infinite Justice build :)

so there is no way to have articulated hands for 1/100 NGs?
I've always been bugged with that, i just wished those 1/100 ngs could do the peace sign and give the finger X_X

Well... some MG's have hand pieces that have the middle, ring and pinky finger connected, but with a ball joint for each finger (MG Zeta 2.0, at least). If you're good enough, you could probably split those fingers apart, and that'd add a bit more articulation in the hand... though that's probably a hell of a lot harder than Im making it sound.

i was talking about the 1/100 NGs like the 1/100 OO/cherudim/red frame astray/etc..
but I've heard of what you're talking about MGs =)

I was thinking about buying 1/100 Arios Gundam, but after pages of this thread, I can't make up my mind. To my eyes, the non-grade 00 1/100 gunpla are as detailed and accurate as the 1/144 HG ones...but if this was really the case, the 1/144 models wouldn't even exist in the first place, if I didn't take in account that they are way cheaper...

Now I know that Bandai releases the MG models to be both big, accurate, and detailed (and because of that, expensive), but does that mean that the only good thing about buying an 1/100 non-grade over a 1/144 00 or 1/144 HGUC is that it's bigger, and the smaller models are superior in every other area? Cause if's that the case, I think I'll get the 1/144 one...

Regarding Cherudim Gundam, I think the 1/100 is cooler than the 1/144 one because of the action base that lets you imitate the shield seen in during the attack to Memento Mori.

Btw, I finally purchased 1/144 HGUC Nu Gundam and 1/100 Non-grade Saviour Gundam, and I must say, they are both pretty good. I knew Nu Gundam would be, but I had my doubts with Saviour because of what I've just said. (besides, guys from here told me that 1/144 HG models from Seed Destiny weren't that good to begin with).

There is generally inconsistency on the differences between a 1/100 NG and a 1/144 HG. There are high quality 1/100 NGs, just as there are sucky HGs. Not all kits are created equal. The only REAL consistent fact is that the 1/100 is bigger, thus justifying the extra cost. And I can assure you, I know customers who just CAN'T stand how small an HG is. Size does matter to many people.

That, and many detailed gimmicks can't physically fit in an HG frame. (Virtue Gundam, for example.)

Overall, I don't see a clear preference in the customer base. There are those who only buy 1/100 NGs because they like the size for the cost, and there are those who only buy HGs because they are cheaper and you get a larger selection.

yeh those ones suck when it involves a polycap, i dont experience that as much - just barely but yeh i might just cake it with superglue if its the leg parts but do enjoy the Infinite Justice its an awesome kit - wont disappoint u

Are Sword Impulse's swords shorter than Force Impulse's?

BB 00 Raiser, can we get an individual 0 Raiser release? :D

They should be the same length, being the same weapons afterall :heh:

But I remember that Force Impulse seems to have that Excallibur which is a lot longer than the MS itself, maybe the Sword Impulse has a new way to hold it on its back

The Excaliburs on that MG Sword Impulse image look taller than the Impulse to me, and Excaliburs have always been taller than Impulse even in lineart :heh: And the Sword Impulse is the only one that can store Excaliburs.

One wonders with only a 300 yen difference between the HGUC Nu and the HGUC HWS, is Bandai generous enough to include all of the NGUC Nu with the HWS parts ?

Or will they replace the outer platings of the Nu with the HWS armour ?

wonder will it be for the gn sword II? :heh:
