so i suppose that X103 will be next! the blitz and the aegis would require a new frame, they will probably make those as well but they will need more time for them.

also, look how they displayed the duel at the last expo:
its like the model is SCREAMING for some company! XD

You sound sooo convincing to me. I really really want to believe it could be true MG Buster would be my absolute fulfillment of dreams as, considering its popularity, or the lack of it, I really've never thought it possible to ever see it MGed. I'd buy three of those

Anybody here have an idea if bandai will also reissue all seed msv 1/144 HG models as HD or not ?

Anybody here have an idea if Bandai will issue the Exia Repair 2 in Master Grade or not?

they are releasing the duel, so why not the buster, right?^^ im sure that if the duel sells well we will see the buster shortly afterwards!

probably not. the re-releases of the SEED HGs is probably just for the anime itself since thats whats getting the HD update.

i also just ordered the MG F91 in the harrison colors^^ i always wanted a F91 but its never in stock... but i found it in a german online store and in total its even cheaper then HLJ!
i also bought some blue paint to cover the cut marks, some yellow paint because i dont want to use the stickers and top coat. im SO looking forward to building it^^

I have a question...

I was told that the Action Base 1 Sparkle Green's plastic was brittle? Should I instead get that Action Base 1 Celestial Being version...that white one with the Celestial Being logo on it?

i have never heard about that base being brittle :O
but since you are such a big OO fan id say go for the CB version^^ i did the same thing! they look great! you have less posing options with them though because they only have two holes for the stand instead of 11 holes in the standard bases.
if you do get them id suggest that you paint them^^ they look VERY boring when they are just plain white.

^ That's what I have right now. I will be adding the 1/100 NG Avalanche Exia.

MG Exia
MG Exia Ignition Mode
MG 00 Raiser
MG 00 Gundam 7 Sword / G
MG 00 Qan[T]
NG 1/100 Astraea
NG 1/100 Astraea Type-F
NG 1/100 Avalanche Exia --> will get later
MG Exia Repair 2 --> hope Bandai will make it in 2012

So I need to get 9 of them..

>_<

Where can I get them the cheapest online? I live in the US.

** EDIT **
Never mind... I just bought 9 of them from Amazon from "Gundam Store And More". Strange that the total was cheaper on Amazon by a few dollars compared to his actual store... o_O

Anyway, I got a a brand new Action Base 1 Sparkle Green and a used Action Base 1 Sparkle Green. Anyone want to trade or buy them from me?

Yuck!

I tried them before and I hated them. I don't buy much GunPla stuff and after the MG Exia R2 comes out, I think I'm gonna stop.

Also, HobbyWave ships out twice a week which I think is stupid. Anyway, my Amazon shipping came out to $9.50 so it was cheaper than HobbyWave.

i know the problem of needing a lot of action bases too well XD currently i have 11 MGs on some sort of action base (im counting the MK-IIs display stand and the wallmount for the aile strike that i made as bases for this :P) and i have another 8 models that could use a base... but those models stand very securely on their own so i wont bother buying bases for them. they would need more space on a base, too and i simply dont have enough of that right now :P

Aside from the kits that I have, all I really want is the No Grade 1/100 Astraea and a MG Exia Repair 2.

I think I'm gonna call it quits for GunPla after that and get back to video gaming and maybe start up manga collecting.

thats what i have heard, too^^ i always wanted to buy it but it was sold out all the damn time! i was really glad that i found it relatively cheap at yorokonde.de!

[Bonta Kun]

I want the F91 as well but it's always outta stock!!!

I saw the film when I was a kid and only always vaguely remembered it, altho best part of that film is the Guntank, I thought it was sooooo cool and would love to see it as a model compared to the one we get atm lol.
Would really love to see em go back to the series and have a proper go at it.

[suiton629]

You want the MG F91 kit? Let me check around to see if I can find it..

=)
