All I care about from Shizuoka is the Doven Wolf! Looks great :D
Anyway, on my HGUC Sazabi - sanded down the ball joint and added a layer of school glue and grey paint. It'll hold the leg, but I can't move it without the entire leg dropping off. I guess I'll have to settle for that compromise :/ |

Those parts were all near perfect so there was not much point in re-designing them. The kit itself however is 100% new. New inner frame and an even more complex armour separation than the RG kit |

3.0 is a big deal, since we are going to be getting the normal follow ups to the Gundam after its release at some point Geara DOGA is great news as it will hopefully lead to the much wanted MG Jegans and Zulus later on |

And arent we getting the AGE-3 and FX later on? |

if you will be getting anything from the origional new it will be a Dom 2.0 or maybe a gouf custom 2.0 Bandai is trying very hard to keep the old gundam alive, but it's slowly diying in favor of newer stuff. That is unfortunately the way of life. Now where is my freedom 2.0 :D |

How is old gundam dying? I still see many people buying the OYW and 2.0 ofthe RX-78. If it were truly dying then Bandai would not make a new kit for it as demand wouldn't be good enough. |

I'll get banned if I say something else XD Anyway, that Legillis-R's violet seems lighter than it's supposed to be. |
^ Well of course. After MG AGE-2 Normal, MG AGE-2 Special Forces is really easy to make to begin with. So, I don't think this online exclusive surprises anyone. It's easy money for Bandai, so it's just a matter of time and mood. If Bandai is in the mood to make MG AGE-2 SF, it will happen easily. Just like what happens now. Unlike MG Justice that will require them to work from scratch.

Now we might also get the MG Age-1 Unit 2 Assault Jacket and MG Age-1 Full Gransa. |

Age might be the "worst ranked series on TV ever", but it sure as hell is getting a lot of releases. =P And that's thanks to how the mecha were designs; making it very very likely to release color variations and variations in the wears... And if this Age-1 Unit 2 is the Assault Jacket variant and this Age-1 Unit 2 MG is confirmed, then I guess the Assault Jacket pieces will be included. =D |
Spoiler:
Was only a matter of time.. |
Quote:
Bandai will not bother making the Assault Jacket parts!!! The Age 1 unit 2 was a second unit created for Largan, it would LATER be used as one of the assault jacket test units. The only reason Age is still getting kits is because the anime studio is still working Age related stuff. Age kits will start to dry up a few months after MOE is released. |

and Suiton, don't double-post. |

No to the assault jacket, its way to under the radar and there is no point to releasing it, I can only see it getting a release if they sneak it into MOE and it is received well Gransa is a maybe, most likely depending on how well the AGE-3 and FX sells |
Why don't you just ignore him. Problem solved. I do the same thing with bandai online exclusives. I ignore them and just buy what I like.
Now on topic. I really like the new stuff coming out. It seems to hit me right in my wallet... MG Jesta, RG GP01, MG geara doga... Maybe I should stop gunpla and save money, to do something useful with my money.... Ah screw it! More gunpla!! lol |
Anybody else frustrated about the number of online exclusives bandai is launching?
It's a freaking nightmare for non- japan based builders, not to mention the extra cost for my wallet. |
Quote:
Once they start releasing regular models as exclusives and not just variations, then I'm gonna be pissed as well. But so far we really did just get variations, extra equipment and effect parts. |

Bandai wont release a new mold as exclusive only. To make back the development costs they need to sell far more than the online store would be able to.
|
It makes you wonder. They seem to really focus on making their kits appeal to the fans, but then do things that alienate us! I ignore the online exclusives, with the hopes bandai will stop doing them. I'd rather not see them, then be disappointed with, the added cost, if I "had" to have it.
Do the RG GP01's dry transfers look kinda crappy? I hope it's just prototype stuff they had for the recent show. The pictures I've seen so far don't leave me with a good feeling. I'm hoping it's just the camera playing tricks. Spoiler for Image:

hobby stores/retail shops would be overflow with past & existing stocks & would be hard to clear stocks if they put all premium limited release together with the new releases (not counting the recent LBX releases / Eva/ Macross/ Code Geass/ Valvrave)
on the other hand is a marketing gimmick that enforces you to spend more of their products I also can say that they are selling as Online Premium to test the market 1 good example is RD Strike (sword launcher parts) , they re-release again as limited before converting into RD Perfect Strike as a normal release Well I can say that they are trying to push the production cost down at the same time trying to get the revenue by producing Limited on a high end price |

The colour scheme on the Unit 2 pleases my eyes. Largan, you have good taste.
I would make a joke about the exclusive Age-2 Special Forces version, and the relative costs of an exclusive MG versus some white paint... but honestly, painting white over bright red and blue genuinely is a pain in the ass, so I'll leave it. |

I'm gonna paint the HG AGE-2 white. It's gonna be my first attempt in painting... Now I'm a little worried :/
|
Just be sure to prime your kits first. If you do a good job with presanding you'll get a good result. I've done several black kits, white, (I'm a slut for white) and not had issues. Of course painting plastic in general can be a pain in the ass.

I will never condone painting on the runner. Once you cut out the pieces you will have horrible nub marks that ruin the look of the painted kit.
|
Thanks for the advise guys :) Will get me some sandpaper then
|
^ And always use a cheap and small kit for your first paint-work so that you won’t regret it much if you ruin it (unless you’re bloody rich and don't mind wasting kits and paints). ;)

Thats why I'm getting a HG that I already have^^ If mess up, I at least have some spare parts for my old AGE-2^^
|
So long as you don't go crazy with the paint. You can't mess up. You can always sand back. Just try to mask and spay in thin coats. Regardless of what you use. Spray cans can do a good job too! Of course it's nice to have a airbrush and compressor.
