Would anyone happen to know what size these are in relation to gunpla kits? HLJ helpfully lists them under 'non-scale'.

rrobert184 reviewed the gurren lagann and its around the same size as a 1/144.

Oh yeah. Is there a review out there on the 1/144 Meteor unit from SEED Destiny? I'd like to see how that monster compares with the GN Arms.

True. That's the way I bought the Heine's gouf. Bleh. But considering my collection is quite large, I am happy that it stopped just on this one kit (the reckless buying, i mean).

Here's one but it's a review on the GN Arms type E. It shows a size comparison at the end.

So I went ahead and tried out the limits of how well the Raphael can stand on its own.
- They're out of reach of my smaller customers, and most of my customers know enough to just look at them. I can proudly say that I'm perhaps the only net cafe with Gunpla on display
- Philippines, that's all I'm saying

HA! My suspicion is correct . Sweet Net Cafe you own :P, You live near Quezon City? I want to visit ya net cafe
Oh wait, Is that the Starcraft 2 loading screen I'm seeing on your monitor? :OOO, Ya must be rich T_T

I'm still capable of impulse buying a kit. I don't have a transformable aerial model, i do have a Waltfeld Gaia gundam and an 0 riser. I would like a transformable aerial MA/MS something like the Saviour gundam or a Bawoo. The other one i'm holding back on is the 00 Quanta. I already am running out of place to even shelf the 3 unfinished kits i have on the list with the current 13 models.

I do not profess to know all the kits involved. But what I can tell are parts from Ryofu Tallgeese, Goutaitei Sonken, Rikuson Zetaplus amongst various others.

And here's a review of the HGUC Sinanju :-

Summary, it's almost like the MG but with less articulation.

Whoa..Bandai going all out on Gundam UC kits..Thanks Makube for the pics. HGUC Sinanju is indeed an instant win for my money.

U already have a MG? Or u just collect HGs?

[Kuroi Hadou]

It's (a bit of) a pity I already invested my money in the MG Sinanju; otherwise the HGUC version would have been included in my last batch of orders.

When it comes to UC kits, i only go for the HGUC line. I already have HGUC Unicorn Gundam Destroy Mode, so HGUC Sinaju is a must have for me.

Only have MG Gundam Mk II Titan ver. 2.0 in the shelves coz my brother gave me as present.

[bio9205]

Since 00 is the only anime I've seen, I only buy 00 kits. HG 1/144, to be precise.

So any possibility of moving to the 00 MG 1/100 kits?

[duotiga]

Yeah, thought of getting Ignition Mode last year but it was way out of my budget. (Funny how I spend so much on individual HG 1/144 kits and find it expensive to buy a MG kit. Hmm.) I may get MG 00Q, though. I'll see.

I like spending on a lot of small HGs (battlfields galore!!!) rather than a few MGs myself. I guess Im just waiting for the right ones, but since HGs are always the priority for me the budget goes to them foremost.

I also like to post my models of the same scale and due to the limitation of much choice between A.D. 1/100 scales types and the my priority and more love towards the 1/144 scale make it a backseat for me.

I'll get MG 00Q and MG 00 for sure. I have not gotten MG Exia or GN-X for some reason, I guess I just don't feel like it right now.

Have they confirmed an MG 00 kit?

Also, don't know if you guys have seen these yet:

Spoiler for PG Strike Freedom:

And apparently the MG 00Q needs a special stand to properly hold the Buster Sword:

Spoiler for 00Q stand:

And here is a (incomplete) preview of what Quantum Mode will look like:

So it seems the MG 00 Qan[T] can use Action Bases to support the weight of the Buster Sword/Buster Rifle, like how they did with the MG Red and Blue Frames with their Tactical Arms.

Along with a surprise:

Spoiler for 00 Qan[T]:

Don't think the diorama is supposed to be included XD

[Kuroi Hadou]

Ah okay. I remember those being posted but not at the same angle or closeness. I feel kinda silly.

I reckon it's Bandai's just trying to show the inner frame.

Quantum Mode is more... this :
