So I gave in and pre-ordered Dark Matter. I will get both if the Amazing ever comes out. Can't pass up a cool suit from both of them.

Nice seeing some Plamo-Kyoshiro Gunplas, despite having those "amazing" changes! I think Bandai should release the Perfect Gundam in either HG or RG!

- Now that you mention it, Build Fighters...is basically 21st century Plamo Kyoshiro...

But Build Fighters doesn't have Shiro Kyoda nor Haru Irie in it!

Anyways, I like how Bandai remembers Plamo Kyoshiro by releasing the Gundam Amazing Red Warrior!

So any general idea on how the kits are moving this holiday season? Like which are the hot sellers? I've heard that the G-Reco suits are doing really well despite being so-so in quality. The grimoire/arcane look baller though, sad that the Bullock wont be here till next year.

The Grimoire is very simple to build but looks good. Definitely recommend pickign it up if you like the deisng, and ESPECIALLY if you're into modding because the Grimoire is just begging for customization.

The Montero is a surprisingly solid kit, although I think it looks better without the wings. IMHO it looks okay without them, but with the wingshields on it looks pretty silly. Granted I didn't like the Montero initially but I'm warming up to the design a bit.

About the only G-Reco kit I'm not sold upon is the G-Self itself. I haven't finished building it yet but compared to the Montero it feels...boring.

The hot one right now is probably PG Unicorn lol

MG's well not much atm

HG's, probably the Build Fighter and G-Reco kits

[Bonta Kun]

Ok so how did I miss this!?!

They know how to sell it thats for sure, I still want a PG Sinanju the most but I can settle for the Uni.

Looks like I have to start saving now....

Well thats the idea but I'm ok with cause it will still look pretty damn great

But by the time I actually saved enough money to get me one the next PG would probably be announced
In which case I would probably get next one cause I'm still holding on to my PG Sin!

From what Im seeing so far its still a step up from the MG kit, given the bigger size allows for better stuff

Especially the proportions, they went with the HGUC/anime ones over the original Katoki kit

The video suggests that the PG is going to have better articulation with the arms and legs compared to the MG. I wonder how difficult the transformation will be: I heard the MG was pretty tough to transform.

So yesterday I embarked on waterslide decaling for the first time.

You know how you're supposed to cut off the whole thing and then the decal separates from the backing paper? Yeah that didn't happen with me. I get the decal adhering to the backing paper, orz.

And then when I try to cut the decals, somehow the decal splits away from the backing paper. While dry. So I grip the decal with my tweezers, dunk it in water, and then apply. It does actually seem to fit quite okay.

...and then in a fit of fail, I lost my Jesta waterslide decals, and kinda screwed up some of my Jesta Cannon's Londo Bell decals. So I improvised and stole my Stark Jegan's decals (since I've decided I'm going to keep my snapfit Stark Jegan as-is, and next year I'll build a new Stark Jegan incorporating all my leveled up skills :V).

Did you read or watch any tutorials before doing this? There are some really handy vids on youtube

I did. I still end up doing it wrong, orz.

ALso I am either good enough or lucky enough to be able to consistently peel away waterslide decals while dry.

To all you guys who call me paranoid, thinking that bandai is trolling me on purpose....
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP NOW, AM I?!?

Ideally, I'd want a Refined Barzam (from Gundam Sentinel), but if an HGUC 1/144 Barzam (Zeta Gundam version) would be released, it'd be easier for me to convert it into a Refined Barzam version. Dammit, Bandai. Dammit!

I would say the HGUC Dijeh would depend on the RE:1/100 success
