probably bandai limited what toys/kits they can sell for the sale. Could be excess stock from the Toys R Us PG promo. Since not moving there, might as well sell during the sale.

 

[kaixax555]

anyway got a lot of MGs added today so you all can go ssrr

 

[AS1]

the prices are more or less japan box price. Only worth if buying the big kits. For the smaller ones, im going to wait for HLJ summer sales.

Would be even cheaper if can go Japan to buy. Yodobashi/BIC below retail prices + tax refund + visa perk. I really need to find the time to go.

Personally if I go Japan I'll just grab Japan limited releases

Hmm expect
-a lot of small parts like RG
-slightly tighter fit than Bandai
-some painting and Seamline removal required
-a ton of runners

Otherwise pretty nice, will buy another

Just completed the RG RX-78-2. I dunno why but i feel its build and pieces are much better then the Aile Strike and Astray Red i did. Very please with the end results.

I see, thanks!

Anyone built the HG RX79? Is the pointed part of the tires supposed to be so loose?

 

[Albedo]

Yes, I think so. It's a bit loose.

I bought the latest RG Zaku II Johnny Ridden Custom, thinking it could do the same high kneel pose like RG Zaku II Char Custom.

After looking at the photos of the leg armor, I think I am badly mistaken. Was anyone successful in doing a similar high kneel pose with the RG Zaku Johnny Ridden Custom? If can do vertical kneel like Seravee Gundam is ok for me too.

In your opinion, which MG or HG mobile suits look very good in high kneel pose? Please recommend.

Try looking for typical Grunt/Cannon Fodder suits like Zaku or GM, especially ground type variants

MG GM Sniper should be right up your alley

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunate not all Zaku models are suited to pose with half kneel pose. This is especially true for the High Mobility variants ones.

I seen the GM Sniper's half kneel pose. It looks pretty forced on having to fold one leg.

I very much prefer a half kneel pose for holding bazooka steady. See the handsome Zaku II Ver 2.0 White Ogre.

The Ver 3.0 RX-78-2 Gundam obviously takes the cake.

Am building a RG Unicorn Gundam now. How come its all white unlike the photos i see where the gunpla shows a lot of pink?

 

[kreja]

Any recommendations for places a gunpla otaku to must visit in Tokyo, Osaka?

Looking for Kotobukiya exclusives too
