Too bad it doesn't look as nice in the model form

Fanboyism blinds a person when it comes to looks.

ALL HAIL RIE KUGIMIYA.

i am just looking forward to 1/100 Astrea....

After Ep 22, who wants a recoloured Throne Zwei Ali Custom ?

Isn't it still the same? Ali customizes it?

But I really want a full red Exia. Too bad we're not getting it in the GN-Arms set

It's explained that the GN-ARMS act as a giant TD Blanket for the Trans-Am Exia to protect the pilot.

Of course, with the price of anything oil related (paint included) rising, it's another part of cost saving measure for Bandai.

Please. Looking at how he is, he will spend an episode repainting the Zwei in his colours. Too good a chance to miss for Bandai to re-release another version of the Zwei.

Exia Rouge in my opinion , its color reminds me of Strike Rouge b-(

So maybe we will get a real (means full red) Trans-Am Exia release in the future?

might be for Trans-am "rouge" exia & a recoloured Zwei, Astrea (F)

So Exia's three times faster now?

Or should it be black with LEDs to better suit it's new mode?

Except it looks exactly the same in the preview. And that's the last we'll ever see of the Zwei. :P

No. They will release a Ali-colors Zwei that is exactly the same except for a golden face scar.

It will have a missing left skirt armor

Anyway I will get Throne Zwei now just to have a Exia VS Throne scene :D

He seems to have gotten a replacement for that. Same with the right beam saber he lost. I guess there's some magic GN armory somewhere that everyone is using now. :D

Hopefully this will increase the chance for a MG or 1/100 Zwei.

Does anyone know if $18 is too much for a 1/144 Kyrios?

That's not a bad price. Of course, you can find a cheaper price than that; GSaM, for example, has it for $16.99, but it depends on the shipping whether you can save a little on the prices.

I dunno, I got one for $10.

then again I didn't have to worry about shipping costs...um, yeah, $15 to $20-ish is probably reasonable.

Wow, that's cheap. Where did you get yours? Since shipping was unnecessary like you said, I'm guessing you got it from a store? I got my first one from HLJ, and it was about $15. My second one, which I got from GSaM was about $17.

To be precise, are you guys talking about the HG 1/144 Kyrios or the FG 1/144 Kyrios ?

Can't imagine the HG 1/144 going for anything below US$15.
