But the male peg I was referring to was this part: I think it's due to the Tamiya Panel Line Accent that I used and the fact that I don't gloss coat the parts for panel-lining. |

Suiton wanted to garner more support for Wing/SEED/AGE by covertly asking about Bandai's 2014 plan, to which StrikeFreedomV2 replied "G-Savior". And of course, G-Savior in its entire entity, was worse than Mermaid Gundam. But of course, I couldn't resist bringing up the hilarious review on the HG G-Savior, which I'm sure many here would known. On to the topic, while I'm quite looking forward to the RG Strike Freedom (and hopefully Infinite Justice, just because Justice was way more fun to build than Freedom), it is the 2014's Unicorn EP7 releases that gets me excited. Hopefully Bandai continues on its trend to release MSV, like the Delta Gundam and Delta Kai. Despite my UC-biasness, I'm not an instant lover of the new Thunderbolt kits for some reason. |

I think it's because the Thunderbolt designs look... lazy. As though someone just slapped whatever large weapons and equipment they could find lying around into a mobile suit without rhyme or reason. Even the recent Strike Rouge Ootori looks better and more coherent.

There's a mall here in Metro Manila that's currently hosting a GunPla exhibit. This piece caught everyone's attention.
Spoiler for .:
I'm planning to visit the said mall tomorrow night to see if it's the real deal or just a really well made model.

I guess it's confirmed:
MG 1/100 Sazabi Ver Ka - On Display @ Gunpla Expo 2013 (GBWC) Phillipines

I made an order over at GG Infinite for the RG Destiny + Wings and the RG Strike Freedom + Wings and told them to ship it when they get everything. So I'm doing my GunPla buying now as you can probably guess and waiting til 2014 to build the remaining kits. It's pretty ridiculous, but over the past hm..3 or so weeks..I've amassed a library of RGs and pre-paid/pre-ordered the RG Strike Freedom + Wings. So including all of that, my recent line of kits that I ordered (as in like the past month give or take).. Spoiler:
I think that's quite sufficient for me in terms of GunPla through 2013. Let's see if 2014 brings any of these as regular/online exclusive MG releases: Spoiler:

You also get an exclusive Action Base 2 if you didn't know included with the package. Overprized? You mean overpriced right? Heh. Speaking of the MGs, if we do end up with a RM Ver. of the MG Strike Freedom and MG Destiny, then I get the feeling that Bandai is going to make the effect parts for those online exclusive and probably have like a unique display base like the RGs. Bandai.. They really need to do something about going online exclusive with so much these days. I like that we're getting the add on sets and the kits, but really; quite annoying to some who have to pay the extra money for them.

Action base is action base, exclusive or not. The base and the effect parts are more expensive then the regular kit. Include shipping and you will pay the same amount of money you would pay for the MGs EBM and FBM modes, probably even more |

I don't get my moneys worth back that way with those effect parts and stuff. I also believe that those wing parts will sooner or later will cause problems for the kit and parts will become loose. The torso joint will definitely cause issues with that much weight on its back

Being a fan doesn't mean you have to waste money.
Exclusive effect parts is one place where bootleggers can slap bandai in the face for their money grabbing tactics. I dont care much about recolours or slight variations on kits as any good modeller can recreate it with paint and pla-plate. |
