"Currently no news on Zeta related MG. The message Bandai sent to the market so far is that 2008 will be the year of CCA, Unicorn and Gundam 00 (mostly the latter two, with the former being a prequel). Seed looks like more likely to become a "filler" candidate for MG than Zeta. If Bandai wants to throw us a twist, I think X or V/V2 would also be likely candidate too."

Depend on how big the shop and the average quantity of customers, I guess.

If the small shop where I work part time on Sundays, sells a dozen of one model kit in 4 days, we would cosider it a good product. Problem is, many fans are still sitting on the fence as far as their acceptance of 00 is concerned. At least one person I know is loving the 00 grunts, and promise to buy severl Tierens because he wants an army (this is before the show even aired). But the same person wasn't very interested in buying Exia until after episode 2.

Hey I'm sorry if this is the inappropriate place to post this, but there's no rules on this thread so I'll just go ahead. Feel free to delete this if it goes against policy.

I have an unopened Strike Gundam PG I'm trying to get rid of for cheap. If anyone is interested, please send me a PM or email. No scams or gimmicks. This thing has been sitting in my room for way too long, and I never gathered the motivation to build it.

Cheers.

HG 00 box art is too little like HGUC and HG SEED box art. More awesome, less... that, please!

Add me to the "I want an army of Tierens" list.

Now I just need the time to build models inbetween being doped up on happy pills and attending school.

I am preparing to build myself a couple 1/100 Exia(s) with MG manipulators once its out tho (articulation for exia is somewhat similar to that of MGs... bugger). And if Tierens comes out in 1/100, then its another story I guess.

I finished constructing all the parts of the HG Infinite Justice (after painting it metallic red of course -_-) and holy crap, the backpack weights a ton...

Anyway, I will start with the inking but this is something that is bugging me:
Are the Tamiya acrylic paints enough to be applied right on the surface of the model kit since I want to paint it instead of putting on the stickers for the details? Or do I need to put first the coat of some other material before attemping to do the painting?

Well, that pretty good lol. I remember seeing a picture with stacks of 1/100 destiny and strike freedom on discount from the same store.(Not too long ago after the release date of strike freedom). I guess some other people are just waiting for the 1/100 Exia because personally, I am.

Fafnir 2007-10-15 21:05

I love the design of the Gundams and grunts in 00. Much more militaristic and simple then SEED and Wing.

I especially like the Dynames and the Union Flag. Exia is no slouch either. Hopefully we get MGs of all three. Although we'll probably only see an MG of Exia, the replacement Gundam(if there is one at all, hopefully not, I'd perfer it if they don't stick with that AU cliche), and the main villian MS.

It might be a good idea to use a primer or at least wash the parts thoroughly before painting. I didn't do either on some no grade 1/144s and the paint wouldn't hold, so I ended up using multiple coats which is just a waste of time and money. I later washed and primed and the results were much better. That's my experience though.

If this keeps up, then they may be sold out of those. Well, time to start watching Gundam00.
