the gale strike variant is ugly but the gale buster looks alright.

This seed vs astray secret conflicts, underground organisations thing sounds a lot like a cheap celestial being rip off although I could be wrong.

I shall reserve judgement until I experience the finished product

Yes. And you need to use both of the LED provided in the kit for the GN Drive. Namely one for the back at where the cone is and the other for the chest in Exia.

The cone can be extended for Boost mode by the way.

Damn I just love these gimmick

So, without the white cone, that's basically what a true GN Drive looks like?

[Amber.Dawn]

The white cone is part of the GN Drive though, isn't it?
And yeah, Bandai isn't the type to provide batteries. /grumble, grumble, expensive battery/

Hmm, not very keen on that box art.

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

I recall reading that the cone part of a GN Drive is a balancer of some sorts.


And uh, what exactly is going on in yee Avatar?

[LightningZERO]

Wow. That's first.

Can't wait to have it

[GrahamAker]

damn ignition mode was displayed in exia r2 !!!!!!!!!!!! it should be exia r2 ignition mode mg .

[GN0010 Nosferatu]

Just because it was used on Exia R2, doesn't mean it can't be used on the regular Exia.

I don't recall hearing it's a special add on.

I think so, The tail of Cherudim and the Part between the legs.. Of Arios are GN drives, so that'd be my best guess.

Correct, and they do look like the uncovered part of the drive shown above.

[MakubeX2]

Real GN Drive looks something like a glass bottle/test tude. Recall Tieria ejecting one in the last episode of OO season 1.

I hear you on the batteries. Spent about 16 dollars on a pair of batteries for my PG Mark II. Thankfully though, if you don't keep them on for long periods of time they last a very long time. The Mark II's had the same batteries since '06, and they still work very well.

Anyway, just built a 1/100 Over Flag and gave it a blue/black paint scheme. Figured I'd post a few pics. Sorry for the poor picture quality...

It's common knowledge that those button cells are very long lasting as one of them can basically power up a watch up to 5 years. Besides, I don't think anyone will be insane enough to run the LEDs 24-7.

And why hasn't anyone made comment that Bandai had decree that the standard MG Exia will have only one single LED for the Solar Furnance when it's obvious now that the GN Drive needs 2 of them to look decent ? Not that a small LED is expensive, but it's just a minor nitpick as in the case of those button cells here.

the MG exia does look pretty awesome but i think i'll give it a miss, too broke after buying strike freedom FB, anyone know of any upcoming MG gundam releases?

You know, i like those colors on it. They work pretty well. Graham should've had those colors for his own Overflag, back when he was still you know, GRAHAM, and not Mr. Bushido...
