What are you building? 9 years, 9 months ago After catching my breath for the last two days, I decided to build the RG Strike Rouge (Gunpla Expo 2012 Exclusive)… here are the runners and instruction manual cover.
What are you building?
Does it come with the IWSP? I look forward to seeing how it compares to RG Aile Strike.
Its basicslly the exact same kit other thsn colours @superxxvegito
Well as a fan of the Strike Gundam that should not deter me from buying the Strike Rouge. Lol! May hold out for that MG Strike Rouge that is supposed to be out in October.
Hehe, but even if you want to, you may not find it… this RG Strike Rouge was last yr’s genteikit during Gunpla Expo…
You are a building machine.
Hehe i just wanna finish my outstanding stuff
The strike Rouge another one of my favorites,I have the mg Aile Strike and the pg Strike with sky grasper but not the Rouge.that’s one kit thats going on my list.
Cool!
Only difference is the color with Strike?
Why color has been change then?
Bro, Strike Rouge is the red variant of Aile Strike even though they have different model numbers (MBF-02 vs GAT-X105). However, I believe the correct name should be Aile Strike Rouge, cos Strike Rouge is without the AQM/E-X01 backpack. This RG comes with the same backpack as RG Aile Strike. Instruction manual wise, the only difference is some parts swapped for colour and an additional sheet for decal placement. Otherwise it’s the exact same build.

Thanks
@philliptan, @johnnel, I saw this in a local hobby shop but the retail is so high. They were selling it more expensive than the MG Sazabi,. :/
@projectx1125, wow are you kidding me? That’s ridiculous. It’s actually the same price as the normal RG kits except that they have a limited number to sell and the regular RG kits go for 20% off during Gunpla Expo. There will be different limited edition gunplas sold on each day. Sells out usually within a few hours. But price wise it’s the same regular retail price for RG except that for non exclusive they will sell at a 20% discount. I bought my clear part Qan[T] same way. Occasionally they will sell PGs at 40-50% off. I also got my limited edition Chrome Megasize RX78-2 at half price. So you do get deals during Gunpla Expos for the exclusives. Looking at it this way, your shop is profiteering pure and simple.

“I’m not kidding. Normally they sell RGs like US$39. But for the RGs that was bought from Gundam Expo they re-sell it for about US$100. Really ridiculous man. I know kits from Gundam Expo are hard to find in my location but still it’s not fair to re-sell it at a ridiculous price. They also have the Gundam Expo MG Char’s Zaku II ver. 2.0 and they sell it for about USD$116. That shop is where I get all my Gunpla, for regular gunpla kits they were selling it at reasonable price but for special kits they go way beyond overboard. :?”
Your reply made it thru email but somehow not appearing here… Ya that is crazy man. I have the clear part Zaku too and got it for S$91.95 (abt USD73.50)… US$100 for that RG? Wow… i bought it for roughly USD41. Ridiculous man. You would probably do better getting it from genteikits.com or something.

“@philliptan, I’ve been experiencing some problems lately with my replies. Maybe the site is under maintenance.
It’s hard for me to order online. Although, prices online especially in HLJ are very reasonable. But when I order online and it arrives, the Bureau of Customs will charge me for Duties and Taxes amounting to almost and sometimes more than half the price of my order. That is why my only option is to wait for kits that I want to be available locally. Sad but True. :?”
Replying to myself hehe… Bro, that is really sa. Where are you from? I’ll have to make sure I don’t accidentally migrate there or something. Sheesh, that is bad. I’m lucky cos Singapore doesn’t seem to tax us on toys. Or i’ve been lucky. Spent literally thousands of dollars at HLJ already and no taxes paid so far. Whew. What abt personal parcels? If u purchased from a small company and perhaps they can circumvent the system? I know of another site that lists on the Customs form “Used Toys”
