One of the most hotly anticipated kits of the year is in! It’s none other than the Ken Okuyama HG RX-78-2 G40 Industrial Design Version kit! While the initial boxing may be limited, we hope that eventually, the kit itself will become available again. Today we’re also looking at two new LBX Danball Senki kits that just arrived!
And don’t forget to vote for the Best Gunpla of 2019!

Great! Thank you!

The G40 is a very nice kit, I hope there will be a matching Char Zaku II.

The Mobile Doll series so far has been amazing with May and Sarah being perfect introductions to the new line. Its probably because the mobile dolls have robotic features when in mobile suit form that makes them great to display next to regular gunpla models.

Hard to vote for some kits, if they have not been released at the time of the survey.

That’s true, but we didn’t want to leave them out 🙁

Shame that the Gundam’s out of stock, here’s hoping for a reissue! Can’t believe I missed news of a 1/60 Mazinkaiser, I so want to get that! That price though… gotta start saving up!

Hg gundam G40 looked cool i admit, but this morning i saw a live build of the MG Gundam Barbatos on zakuaurelius youtube channel, and the kit looks amazing right out of the box.. the build in itself looks great !

There seem to be a lot of kits this year based on the basic Gundam’s design: The G40 Industrial, all of Hiroto’s Core Gundam Planet System variants, the GBN-Base, Seltzam Gundam. Not a complaint, just an observation.

What happen to the prize from Gunpla TV Episode 338?

In case I forget: Happy Holidays to everyone at HobbyLink Japan! may you have less snow than we do in Canada this time of the year (and be less cold).
Anna
Thank you very much! We’re fortunate to not get much snow in Tochigi 🙂 It does get pretty cold, but probably not Canada-cold!

Kind of random question, but are you guys only interested in Gundam model kits, and not any kind of action figure line? I love most of the Gundams from Metal Robot Spirits, even if they are expensive.

Apparently some US stores received early shipments of the MG Barbatos. Do HLJ already have stock by chance?
Anna
I heard about that, but we definitely don’t have it 🙁 I plan on having an unboxing up the day it arrives, and we’re expecting that day to be the 19th (though orders will take up to 24 hours for processing after it gets here).

Where’s the leg lamp, Todd?

He hasn’t graced the office with its presence this year!

I want that Christmas tree!

Can we get an industrial version of the spru tree?

Love that Gunpla tree. I’m making my own too. Happy holidays to Earth and the colonies.

Happy holidays in advance!

I have seen the poses of HG Gundam G40 (Industrial Design Ver.). Articulation is really good and I loved it.
BLEE01
It’s too bad, I couldn’t get a hand on the G40. Looks good.
Brian ver. Kanada
I hope the G40 will be restocked in the same manner. I will definitely get it just for the uniqueness. And you just have to love that tree.

Awesome tree made of… Trees

You guys did such a good job last year at Gundam base that we could do with some coverage of this GBWC entries.
