ah too bad it's still somewhere back on the queue... first one would be MG Freedom + resin conversion (haven't even bought the resin yet, lol), then possibly in this order :
MG Strike Freedom + resin,
MG Infinite Justice + resin,
RG Aile Strike,
RG Skygrasper,
RG Freedom,
RG Justice,
HG Meteor (I wonder if I could find the one with RG style decals for cheap) :p

ah and can anyone tell me the price of HG Meteor in HAG/HAW or even SRP? it would serve as a comparison... :s13:

very nice and long backlog:s13: Seed fan?

SRP for HG meteor+Freedom is 10000 yen. You can find at Metro for around $169 i think. HG Meteor is online exclusive, 6825+ yen. TFH allows you to pre-order HG Meteor for $170. Not sure for HAG or HAW. Hope this helps!

yep, I'm a fan of SEED MS designs... especially Freedom.. Strike Freedom is a bit off my taste, but I love how it is completely symmetric (ignore the inner mechanism of the rifles, haha). :s13:

I'm now wondering which resin cast I should get for my first resin project (Freedom).. should I get the original from MS-Build (@USD118.8 incl shipping) or from gkgundamkits.com (around USD60 incl shipping if I remember correctly).
I've just started doing mods recently (my PG Strike Freedom), so I don't have much experience dealing with them, so good cast quality would be a great help... but is it worth the price? not to mention that I haven't seen people getting resin kits from MSB. :s22:

as for the meteor unit, I'll leave that for later, since I don't have space to display it anyway... :D

Same. Im a fan of seed large backpacks and sharp designs. I love the freedom, but hate the strike freedom. I feel like the strike freedom doesnt have the nobilty and majestic feeling of the freedom.... Which is kinda contradicting...

Good luck on your resin kits! Im still new to gunpla, yet to build my first MG...

haha, I see... I'm still gathering information first, haven't decided anything. I'm going to save some money first, since I don't want my first resin project to be spoiled because I get cheapo at something. :s13:

Lol. So far nothing ran out yet. Awesome exhibitions and there is a surprising number of expo exclusives on sale, ones not stated on the poster e.g. Hg Sinanju clear. Managed to hoot a strike rouge:D RG zeta and Mg aegis was on display too. Really like the MA form of the aegis from what i have seen.

Btw, to redeem 1 pair of unicorn tickets, spend $30 and choose any 2 ep.

lemniscate: fyi, hg freedom+meteor is $140 at the expo.

tanyieern and sliver : thanks for sharing the price...

I think gkgundamkit.com is selling the one with RG decals for around that too (including shipping it should be around USD110-120, so around SGD140-150), but it already includes the realistic decals (the site says they're water slides, not stickers).. and I have no interest in HG Freedom whatsoever. :p

so, anyone has bought from gkgundamkit.com before? are they quick and reliable?
