do you think bandai would ever create/release a PG Strike Freedom Gundam? coz i'm not totally contented of strike gundam as perfect grade and i always imagine of having strike freedom as perfect grade

and also, for you, what do you think is more better to buy: strike freedom Full burst mode or lighting edition coz im planning to buy one model but don't know what to choose.

No one knows if bandai are going to release a perfect grade strike freedom, your guess is as good as mine. I'm biased & I only collect 1/100 scale models so my choice would be the master grade. Just boils down what you can afford to be honest, dalong.net has a review of both kits so make your decision from there.

i would also get the SF FBM, although you should consider the Hi-Nu as well, but you probably really like the SF

I agree, get the Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode. I have the Lightning Edition and I'll say it left me with wanting more in the kit. While it is large, it just has that feel of "it could've been better". Although I really do like it. Nothing like giving you're 1/100's two xbox hueg combinable beam rifles

Just like the ungraded 1/144's its the most basic of all the gundam models, High Grade the next grade up from the First Grade. Just an attempt by bandai to revive the useless standard 1/144 line, nothing special. The 1/100s & the 1/60 kits are the ones to get.

[Critias]

seems to me that the FG's look like SEED's no grade line.... in that their elbows and knees aren't jointed.

[Meehlimo]

Lmao a cheap attempt at a rename to sell shity kits ugh bandai seriously WTF?

still praying for mastergrade destiny....

FG is not new to Gundam 00.

The "First Grade" designation has been in use to describe such kits since 4-5 years ago, when Bandai first released the line, featuring classics like the RX-78-2 and the Zakus. The line is essentially an attempt emulating the simplicity of gunpla of the early 80's, and for those starting out at Gunpla.

As for the MG Destiny, rumors had it that it's currently under design, or at least consideration. Will be waiting for confirmation though.

[hongseng]

still praying for mastergrade destiny....

and i'm praying for perfect grade strike freedom.. any confirmation?

BTW, anyone who bought gundams from hobbylink japan? what kind of payment did you choose(i mean credit card or money order)? Is it safe and well delivered on time?
It will be my first time to buy gundams from internet

i would also get the SF FBM, although you should consider the Hi-Nu as well, but you probably really like the SF

but between Hi-Nu and Strike freedom FBM, which do you like more?

There is No confirmation of a perfect grade strike freedom. About hlj.com they are one of the best online retailers for japanese merchandise, but their service is super slow. They have an extensive FAQ for first time users so read that: http://www.hlj.com/faq/hljfaq.html.

haha i really wish they'll have a pg strike freedom gundam haha....
i have read the faqs section but still i want to know the opinions and comments of the buyers coz right now i'm in the philippines but soon will be migrating at Canada on august for school...

BTW, what is more better for you: Hi-NU gundam or strike freedom FBM both MG?

Hi-Nu all the way. To me it has a better design and when compared with the SF FBM, it has better detail although they are both MG. An example would be the RX-93's fin funnel system. It blows the FBM's DRAGOONS out the water when it comes to style and the way it is posed. Also, the HI-Nu's backpack system isnt as clumsy as the FBM's. I like the SF's gold frame though. Overall, i think the Hi-Nu as near to perfection as any MG kit can get and, i dare say, the best MG so far. I'm still waitn for Bandai to release a Nightingale though. Now THAT is something that should have been released along with the Hi-Nu cuz you can't possibly expect having a Hi-Nu without a Nightingale. It would be like the Nu without the Sazabi.

[hongseng]

so 1 point for Hi-Nu gundam ^_^ what about others?

BTW, in my opinion, i don't like the appearance of Nightingale gundam.. it does not look like other gundams... think it seems like a monster or those gundams meant for seas

[ShinGundam]

According to Gundambase MG#101 is not CE

Hmmm may be Gundam X
