  7. Hey awesome video, but I have to know: what’s the song used for the intro and outro?! It’s stuck in my head and I can’t find it.

    • Hello Eru, the song is called “Run” by Sonny Jim.
      And Episode #2 is currently in the making!

  12. runners? poly-caps? I guess I’ll figure out what those terms are eventually… It’s pretty cool to see the different sizes of all these products though.

  13. I also asked myself.. what the hell is a runner and poly caps? A short video for beginners ,explaining the basics, would be cool 🙂

    Cheers

  14. Nice work guys. Very simple and easy to understand. Great to get a look inside of HLJ! As per the comment above perhaps ep2 could explain the basics inside the box – runners, polycaps, decals, frame, and the manual. =) Syd works great as a presenter. Looking forward to episode 2 ^^

  15. Thanks for the comments guys, episode 2 is already up and episode 3 will be going live today.

  16. the runners are the things that hold the parts, but will need to cut the parts from the runner itself to assemble.

    polycaps on the other hand, im not sure, but i think it’s the rubberly bits you put together for the joints

  21. Runners are the frames the parts come on & what the parts are cut free from.

    Poly caps are made from a softer yet durable plastic. They’re used in the articulation joints & certain other areas.

    Thanks for the videos! They’re welcomed & VERY much appreciated!!

  23. nice guide but i think that going a little mpre into whats every grade advantge towerds the other grades would have been nice, and alsp it would be good to specify the price ranges of every grade.

  25. I started the first Gundam in old scale with the 1/100 HG Burning Gundam. I saw the 1/144 scale but was to smaller like a Kinder toy. The 1/100 is for me a good scale to start. Now I build the MG grade like Gundam Harris, Gundam ZZ and the custom Gundam Wing Ka vers.
