I really like when Gundam kits come with decent amount of panel lines and lots of decals to make them look as realistic as possible. I’ve actually hoped for a 1/100 MG of the 1/1 Gundam for a while.
I’ll definitely be getting the expansion set with the decals and LED
So expansion gets released on the 24th of August?
Thanks
The expansion is only through Bandai’s online shop but there are stores that do sell them outside of Japan such as genteikits.com, however the limited edition stuff from Bandai almost always releases after the kit does. So while Bandai will start accepting preorders on their site from the 24th of June it probably won’t release until September.
Since i’ve been holding back on getting the granddaddy for all this time. I think this will be the best one to get for me personally. I still havent got any real grades yet, i don’t trust myself not breaking one. And the 2.0 i really don’t like those puffy mickey mouse hands. So yep, I’m going to say love it!!
Don’t fear the RG line, all I have built 9 of them so far and they have ALL been fine. I even used the posable hands. I have not built Zeta yet though.That is the one to be careful with I’m told.(Care of Gunpla TV)
If you are gentle and don’t force anything you will be fine.
Matter of personal preference, I guess.
Personally, I loathe stickers and refuse to use them in my builds. So for me the answer would probably be “yes”… Depending on the quality of the decals. Bandai has put out some really lousy decals in the past. But good decals, for me, are [i]extremely[/i] preferable over stickers. I think the results…[Read more]
Bringing home the 1/1 Gundam in any scale is a fantastic option. So I’m stoked as stoked about this as you can get. Plus, hopefully it will improve on the flimsiness issues of the RG.
Honestly, I don’t really have a RX78 to recall features and what it really offered. That being said I did get a MG Nu Gundam Ver Ka. Alot of people could go on to say that has nothing to do with it but I am going to lean towards the side of love it because all of these features we have seen lately from MG Bandai kits has a reason. The 3.0 will…[Read more]
Because I love RG I’m leaning towards the ‘love it’ side. Don’t fail me, Bandai! Interesting to see what’s in the online exclusive expansion set that goes on sale on the 24th.
The companion set includes a second bazooka, a Gundam Hammer, beam javelin, LED unit, and decal sheet.
As with other online exclusives, if you’re not in Japan you have to buy it through some kind of middleman, like gentei kits.
I have the MG V1.5 and I think it was my first Gunpla. I think it’s long over-due for me to have another look at this mech design, so I’m one of those many who have the v3.0 on order at HLJ.
Perhaps the key thing on a good Gunpla is articulation and well engineered details. Without those these kits we enjoy would just be boring old model kits…[Read more]
I love this model because I had just desired to buy my first mg and after researching mg’s and chosing the RX78-2 having some to chose from loved the 2.0 frame but not the detail the detail that impressed me was on the first war one. Then this kit was released and thanks to hlj.com I preorderd the next newest RX78
