  2. That astaroth origin would be nice. I always like the way you guys go over multiple kits each episode.

  3. at times i like solid kits, at times i like flashy kits, guess the only solution is to buy them all

  4. Putting all the weapons on the ship is so dumb but amazing at the same time. They really made the most out of what they could fit in that one package.

  6. New episode means new fun!

    The stand campaign is interesting, I might get one if I can. I’m very excited for the HG Atlas, it’s going to be awesome. I’ve always liked the MS and it’s certainly a unique design and has a lot of display options, super excited for it. I’m likely getting the new Origin because it has more stuff and I don’t have the old Origin yet, so this is a pick up for me. I’m also picking up the regular Char’s Zaku I. This one is more like the standard Zaku I and has a better colorscheme so i’m definitely getting this one. Not a big fan of the Lupus Rex, so I probably won’t get one. Bael on the other hand looks awesome, i’m very likely getting one. The new option set seems to be something I will get if only for the Landman Rodi, still nice to see conversion kits, these are sweet. The new Petit’gguy is interesting with it’s smaller teddy bear, so I can have some Bear-ception with the Beargguy F, which is nice! I’m very excited for the Amazing Strike Freedom, which is a shame that others don’t share my sentiment, because i’m a fan of how it looks, especially with that red frame. Super Fumina is a joke that still needs to die and me no gusta. MG Providence looks amazing and i’m super excited for it, it would look great with the freedom 2.0, don’t think i’m getting the limited version though. RG Astray Amatsu Mina has got me super hyped. RG Astray Red Frame one of the best looking kits out there IMO and this thing looks great as well, I need one. I’m a fan of Macross Delta so i’m definitely getting the new Draken III.

    Not too interested in the Figure-Rise standard DBZ kits but my friends might be. I need a Rouei, I was a big fan of the MS and the Hyakuren was a nice little kit, so this has definitely got my attention. I wasn’t a huge fan of Helmwidge Reincar’s colorscheme at first but it grew, the mustard plastic is not that great looking though.

    The BB Senshi Barbatos Lupus initially interested me, however seeing the Mobile Worker and Isarabi molded entirely in grey without any color at all turned me off, it was disappointing but eh, oh well. I’ve got the Robot Damashii GM Sniper II only a week before the MG was announced, so I unfortunately did not share the hype for the MG, but I still might get the White Dingo version, and the kit itself is quite impressive. I’m also definitely having the GM Ground Type, been waiting for the HG and Bandai finally delivered, and it doesn’t disappoint. Definitely getting this guy, he looks very good and it’s nice to see another MS get a new HGUC kit.

  7. If I won that Astaroth I would be compelled to buy a second one to make them symmetrical, fingers crossed for the Origin form then.

  9. I want to have a complete collection of the IBO series but Astaroth is the only one I can’t get. I wish I could win this one. Seriously, IBO is the first series that really got me into Gunpla.

  33. I love the Astaroth, the assymetrical design I find really appealing and I love the sword. Still haven’t gotten my hands on the origin version because theres been so many kits, but I’d love to get my hands on one.

    Can’t wait to see that Providence Gundam in action when it comes in and gets built.

  40. I think my gunpla have started fighting each other.

    I woke up this morning and my MG Zaku was mising an arm (it was on the floor, still holding it’s gun), my RG RX 78-2 had fallen over, my RG Zeta had dropped it’s beam rifle and my MG Wing ver. Ka had fallen off it’s action base…

  42. Thanks for the episode gunpla tv! May you always build

  43. Great long episode guys, great for listen while working on my entry. Todd, GM ground type’s abs joint was used on the HGUC RX 78-2 revive. Helmwige Reincar reminds me a bit of reinhardt from overwatch. It just need to replace that sword with a hammer. Hammer Down!

  44. My body wants that Astaroth.

  45. GN Sniper seems so cool. not sure if I like the color scheme tho

  54. Astaroth Origin, please. And please ensure all parts are functional so I can repair that damage. Need that Sarge Special.

  55. I actually heard people bashing on that new Fumina kit, as it looks a bit outrageous to them, haha. Personally, I’m just not in fond of the weird face, the Bust Fumina looks nice though imo.

  56. I wouldn’t mind having a third Astoroth

  57. Been awhile since I’ve seen one of the giveaways i was interested in…lets give it a shot.

  58. I would like an Astaroth. Thank you!

    Reply
  59. Its pretty funny how the GM Sniper 2 got a MG instead of the RE 1/100 kit it was upposedly getting also I hope I win me a astoroth probably won’t though, love to be proven wrong.

    Reply
  60. BANDAI! I sincerely hope that the Woundwort gum candy figure isn’t another teaser with nothing to show for it. You and I both know that it’s one of the most popular MS designs out there still lacking a kit. Do us all a favour and work with Dengeki Hobby to get an actual kit made instead of forcing us to rely on fix-pose resin models!

    Reply
    • Same here! I’ve been itchin to get that Woundwort Gundam kit,hope Bandai released her as HG 1/144 first before rising up to MG 1/100 soon because the resin kit version her is not pleasing enough for me!

      Reply
  61. The build strike didn’t really catch my attention BUT that new Astray is looking like a MUST buy. 0.0

  62. I wish i had more time to build Gunpla…University take all my time!

  63. Love that Helmwige Reincar! can’t blame Sid for taking it for himself, definitely gonna get one myself when I get the chance 🙂

  64. I was never a fan of the designs of the UC Federation grunt suits, but that GM ground type looks really cool!

    Strange how you bring up Sephiroth. I’ve actually started to replay the original FFVII again on the PS1.

  69. The Astaroth kits look pretty cool.

  70. Man that mg gm sniper II is awesome,it tops the hguc one but too bad it doesn’t come with a little mobile worker like the hg one.

  85. great job guys, I’m looking forward to seeing all the competition winners.
    I just had a few questions, you said that if your model looks too good for a beginner then you might get moved up to intermediate, I’m just wondering will you let someone know before the end of the competition for is this done when you are judging?
    I would also like to know if there is a rule against using a logo from another franchise for example is I were to paint a super-man “S” on my shield would that be a problem?
    Last thing have you ever had it where the person who wins the model give away doesn’t want it?

    Reply
  97. the 1/144 HG Helmwige Reincar looks kind of ugly, but at least it has a big sword which makes it automatically cool in my books.

    Reply
  98. Astaroth and its Origin form, pretty much like Two-Face looking at himself on a mirror.

    Reply
  99. UC Line best line ever. 🙂 I am kinda new to this site (just discovered it) It is cool that we now have a facebook-esque site for Plamo Builders.

    Also, question… can we use pla plates in the intermediate category?

    Reply
  100. I was suprised how small the gm snipers box was

    Reply
  101. Sorry if asked before

    Hello HLJ and Master Syd.

    So yeah… a couple of questions:

    1. Can me and my wife both enter the competition (me in intermediate, she in beginner) as you know we are both fans of Gunpla and both build our own different kits?

    2.We have two HLJ accounts, however both are named after her and me as a care of in the address section as she has more time to pick up the kits at our post office and in times she cannot, i do so… Is this okay?

    Thanks for the response

    Reply
  102. Great Video! Can’t wait for the master grade Providence Gundam but still waiting for the master grade Legend Gundam.

  103. Loved the episode, guys! Trying to plan my next HLJ order soon!
