If the revival of GSD 1/100s is succesful, then we'll probably see an Akatsuki eventually. But there's no way those money-milkers at Bandai are going to put both packs in the same model box. :rolleyes:

well theyve done it with the green zaku warrior............





....but....




.......its highly unlikely theyll do it again XD

and I hate that chrome, it bumps the price 50%. The 1/144s should be 1600 yen but thanks to the plating its 2400. The MG hyakushiki is a 3000 yen kit size but its 4500. So if a 1/100 AK comes out, it will probably be as big as the others (2600 yen) multiply that by 1.5 and you get 3900 yen

I'll not pay such a price for 1/100 CE model :D

but I dont mind to pay anything for the 1/144 HGCE :D

teaser, more pic tomorrow :D

im just wondering if any1 has used Hobby Link Japan for buying models and what they think of them? Im wanting to buy a GFF Deepstriker from them

Wow thats one sweet ginn.

thnx man.
HLJ is good I tried it before bought over 20 items in one shot but they are annoying at holding items till the preorder arrives or back order, where if u are waiting and some other customer ordered one of youre items its gone ... " W T F "

they goes like "ops too bad if you really want ur stuff so ship it then wait for the others to arrive" duuuh shipping cost :S

but they are good quality nice packing and very clean items ;)

at amenbo.com/toj.html I had 2 orders each over 20 items and in my 2nd order they reservered my items till the preorders arrived after 3 months but I paid before shipping of course :p

uuggh ur right, and the thing is, i don't even need the plating since i'm ognna be airbrusing it anyways O_O

HLJ are good though I had some trouble recently ordering from them mainly because of UK import taxes.

for USA customers imageanime.com is also very good, as they get the first new-release items out of any NA store.

Yeah the import tax sucks, but i recently made an order that came up to 6,000 yen and didn't get owned by customs :D

maybe because the box was small...who knows

imageanime.com is good but if u want anything thats been out for a lil while go here www.gundamstoreandmore.com they are very nice ppl and packeging and shipping are great 2 most seed and uc models are really cheap and they dont make u pay out the @$$ for things. As of right now i believe they have everything out.

Customs depends on the country where am traveling between SaudiArabia (myhome) and Egypt (college), Egypt will start taxing from 6 items and up having taxing increasing along, while in Saudi I havnt been taxed on 23 items :D because we don't have tax on products but we do have on yearly income (zakat)

Once before I bought about 300USD items from ebayer called dogstar2005 or somting and I been fighting over my stuff for over 5 months to recieve 4 of 9 items only, and from a while ago some one having same and more items with same prices as that guy anyway I want to ask if anyone bought from this fishy store anything or not xxseiyalegend

So everyone was wondering "where have I seen this sword before?" well its stabed into a Gouf production type at the last episode of Gundam SEED Destiny

more pix later

I love them, I've gotten several models from them, gundam and non-gundam alike.


Rather quick and cheap shipping to, considering its international.

HLJ rocks. I've used them for Gundam model and magazine model purchases for years. :D

Guess what I found on June's Dengeki Hobby Magazine?

Oh god no! It looks hideously out of proportion! Legs are too thin, shield too large, torso too wide, the canon barrels for the backpack are too thick, gun too comically long and thin, and there's an odd spacing on the front skirt armor... D:

thin legs = MG like plus there should be a good area for the sabers there (i dont like the F***ing idea)
anyway as this good model beeing released its just like saying "get busy with this one because the MG will be released after 20years at least"

Finally Infinite Justice will have double beam saber.......this will be good!!!!

and slight offtopic..someone made SD Akatsuki!!!!!

http://www.geocities.jp/vtmc0070/sdakatuki.html

I normally despise sd's but that looks really cool.

Very amazing work and its not off topic at all sinc ethis is models discussion :D

working on Astray blue frame fully weapons to accompany my Eliji refind to operation fully weapons, since b-club parts are discontinued so I desided to scratch build the astray weapons, my astray will be flat colors with wethering too and a diorama will be made on july along with the sword calamities diorama base :D
