i've bought around 35-40 kits ~ from HLJ, they have all arrived in perfect condition minus ONE shipment which ended up being my postal service's fault and not HLJ's. Excellent service, prices and shipping times. Highly recommended

Not worth the extra money for shipping for something like cutters that can be bought at any local hobbycraft store. Also if you do have the patience you might want wait for sales on HLJ. I only buy at sales now cause I gotta save as many pennies as I can and you'll usually find a few items on sale that you'll like. Altho gotta be quick, the good stuff tends to be snatched up pretty quickly.

As for stuff being snatched up quickly, the Z'Gok I wanted is now listed as Low Stock in my Open Orders. They haven't even taken the money from the Paypal yet, but I'll give it time, as this is my first time with them.

Gundam AGE-1 グランサ(Grandsa)
So the Full Armor variant of the Age-1 Flat is the Grandsa. Looks like a mesh between Age-1 Flat and the Age-3 Fortress. I hope to see a MG of this along with the Age-1 Flat w/ Zefuld Launcher x2.

I thought of something...
In regards the MG line of Age kits, basically I think that these are the only ones that are likely to be done... MG Age-1 Flat MG Age-1 Flat MG Age-1 Flat (w/ Zefuld Launcher) MG Age-1 Flat (w/ Grandsa armor) MG Age-2 Normal --> confirmed MG Age-2 Double Bullet MG Age-2 Normal Special Ops MG Age-2 Darkhound MG Age-3 Normal MG Age-3 Fortress MG Age-3 Orbital MG Age-FX I was looking at this idea and thought.. What if Bandai were to just release the parts for the variations instead of releasing entire kits? Meaning.. Double Bullet. Bandai releases a Double Bullet add-on pack only. If we want the Double Bullet, then we get the add on pack as well as another Age-2 Normal. So the kits in bold on the list are the ones that get a full MG release. So it would be 7 releases with 5 add on pack releases.

Like how w/ the AGE SD's, they had all the packs included with 1 box, but the MG we got them all individually. Just hoping that with the MG Age series, we get them all eventually... All as in MG Age-1 Normal MG Age-1 Titus MG Age-1 Sparrow MG Age-1 Flat MG Age-1 Flat w/ Zefuld Launcher MG Age-1 Flat Grandsa MG Age-2 Normal MG Age-2 Double Bullet MG Age-2 Normal Special Ops ver. MG Age-2 Darkhound MG Age-3 Normal MG Age-3 Fortress MG Age-3 Orbital MG Age-FX Well so far we have 3 out of 14 ...21.14%... And the MG Age-2 Normal is confirmed so that's 4 we'll have out of the 14.

about addon packs, they probably wont do that for a simple reason: only those who actually bought the AGE-2 Normal for example would buy the double bullet addon.
not to mention that a pack like that would essentially contain over 50% of the pieces of a regular MG. might as well add the other pieces as well. and an AC series with 14 MG releases? yeah, right! XD even OO only had 4 major MG releases plus a couple of variations, even though it was crazy popular. even seed and seed destiny have a COMBINED MG count of 16 as far as i know. and its been 10 years since seed aired! demanding 14 MGs from AGE is just completely unrealistic. i mean, 6 out of the 14 in your list are AGE-1 variations... why? these are the ones that i think are likely: MG Age-1 Normal MG Age-1 Titus MG Age-1 Sparrow MG Age-2 Normal MG Age-2 Double Bullet MG Age-3 Normal MG Age-3 Fortress MG Age-3 Orbital MG Age-FX the rest MIGHT get a release as online exclusives. and remember, i said those are LIKELY. there isnt even any word on the MG double bullet or ANY MG AGE-3 variations yet. it took three years until they released the MG OO raiser after the second season of OO aired for example. if they really want to release all these kits they will drag it out over the next couple of years for sure. but dont expect anything beyond the main gundams any time soon. |

MG Age-1 Normal MG Age-1 Titus MG Age-1 Sparrow MG Age-1 Flat MG Age-1 Flat w/ Zefuld Launcher MG Age-1 Flat Grandsa MG Age-2 Normal MG Age-2 Double Bullet MG Age-2 Normal Special Ops ver. MG Age-2 Darkhound MG Age-3 Normal MG Age-3 Fortress MG Age-3 Orbital MG Age-FX Gray = already out/confirmed to come out Red = likely to come out after Age finishes airing an online exclusive or regular release (maybe have parts for all 3 wears so people end up buying 3x of it to display all 3 forms) Blue = Online exclusive IMO Green = likely to come out And your example of Gundam 00 MG's... MG Exia MG Exia Ignition Mode MG Exia Trams Am MG 00 Raiser MG 00 Raiser 7 Sword G MG 00 Qan[T] MG GN-X That's 4 different MG's and 3 variations for a total of 7 kits. An MG Exia R2 and MG 00 Qan[T] ELS ver. might come out later. But my point is with Age, we mostly see variation kits and not "different" kits. Meaning... Type 1 MG Age-1 Normal MG Age-1 Titus MG Age-1 Sparrow MG Age-1 Flat MG Age-1 Flat w/ Zefuld Launcher MG Age-1 Flat Grandsa Type 2 MG Age-2 Normal MG Age-2 Double Bullet MG Age-2 Normal Special Ops ver. MG Age-2 Darkhound Type 3 MG Age-3 Normal MG Age-3 Fortress MG Age-3 Orbital Type 4 MG Age-FX So it's like 4 different kits (or wish list kits), with 10 variations. Which means: a. the kits are very similar to each of the variations and different kits. --> low cost of production b. the kits themselves are like slightly better quality in 1/100 scale, High Grade kits --> low cost of production So I see it logical and very well possible to see all 14 of these come out in MG.
