Finally 1/100 KSHATRIYA

[Blazer-X]

Huh... I take back what I said about Amazing Exia and Hyaku Shiki.

Also... I am both super excited that we're finally getting 1/100 Reborns (arguably my favorite Gundam).... and totally feel down that its going to be just sub-MG status. Goddamnit, Bandai!

[LoweGear]

Is that... a 1/100 Xi Gundam they be planning?!?!

[Obelisk ze Tormentor]

Oh good, finally 1/100 Gaia. My 1/100 Chaos won’t be lonely anymore .

And 1/100 Xi will be a massive 1/100 Gundam model. Well…..probably not as massive as 1/100 Perfect Zeong or Nightingale, but still.

All in all, I’m excited by those line-up (yay for Barzam & Reborns).

Under planning though, so they may/may not see releases

Hmmmmmmm

JEGAN BETTER NOT BE IN THIS GRADE THOUGH, NOR REBORNS, THOSE DESERVE MG



Dayum son, liking what Im seeing so far

And the 1/100 Graze even have its own frame! Though it does seem to share some of those parts with Barbatos

The feet and the stubbed beam rifle say EZ-SR alright.

Aside from certain Build fighters sets, where can I get a Gunpla sized Railgun?

[Sworra]

So Bandai just announced that the MG V2 Gundam Ver.ka will be getting Wings of Light as P-Bandai Exclusive.. Didn't see that one coming, lol. But I'm glad its with the release. common buster and assault packs.

Before I go ahead and buy it, the HGCE Strike Rouge IWSP is real right?

Nope. The IWSP is only bundled with the old HG Strike Rouge + IWSP.

No, as full kit its not

However if you are willing to shell out some more cash:

The HGCE Strike Rouge is a kit and so is the old HG Strike Rouge IWSP which are sold separately, however the Striker packs ARE compatible so if you get both kits you can make a HGCE Strike Rouge IWSP

So does it come with an MS in the kit or just the striker pack? And is it compatible with the build strike?

Because I'm thinking of buying this:

- *sigh*

This is the HGCE Strike Rouge, with AILE Striker pack.

This is the HG SEED Strike Rouge with IWSP pack.
http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10037353


Both come with the MS. It's just that the HGCE is a newer version of the Strike Rouge. The HGCE Strike rogue and HGCE Strike are both based on the Build Strike frame. ALL HG 1/144 Strike kits are compatible with ALL 1/144 (HG and no grade) Striker packs.

That means the HGCE Strike Rogue can use the HG Strike Rogue IWSP, the HG Perfect Strike pack, and the HG Strike Noir pack with no issues at all.

Anybody know if there was a Windam Kit inthe 1/144 range? I want myself one of those suckers yet I keep seeing pictures of a RG of it butt finding no results on shopping sites.

- No. the only windams ever released were either MSiA or RD toys

[Patriot's Blade]

the RG Windam is apparently just a custom kit conversion made by an in house modeler for a magazine, so no mass release for it (yet), still wondering what he/she was using as a base frame.

[Chibiloli]

Just out of curiosity, for what reason do you guys buy models? In my case, I like the machines and so that I can play around with them.

Hmmmm

I like Gundam, started with Wing like almost every other NA fan when I was a kid

I used to build really basic military craft model kits (the cheap ones) when I was younger too so that probably contributed

One day I finally picked up Gundam again with 00 (no gundam at all for me after Wing ended). Then sometime afterwards (around S2 release) me and my brother happened across some 00 S2 1/200 kits in Canada and bought them for teh lulz. Shortly after we find ourselves in Seattle WA, and found a model shop loaded with Japanese import kits and we got ourselves some 00 HGs.

The addiction kicked in and the rest is history

I like them as they're DIY, but not as much work from the get-go (unlike military models) unless you decide to make them so. They're cheaper than action/collectible figures for the most part

Primarily use them as display models in a lighted glass cabinet/display shelf from IKEA

[Skye629]

Can someone confirm these things prices? According to GG both are 760yen, which is absurdly cheap for a HG of this quality

[Chibiloli]

Okay, I took a peek and I just gotta say, why the heck is the Rozen Zulu poop brown? I know Angelo can be such a turd but come on...
