wish they make a revive series again such as the kapool

Nice effect parts, sadly I have my Nu Gundam from the normal release.

Great product line-up, that Nu Gundam effect part kit looks amazing! I’m going to pick one up! And please don’t get rid of the packaging, I like my boxes undented and my goods undamaged, haha! XD

Great! Thank you ^_^

I wonder when they will make more MG sets for the Build Diver series, some of the Gundam are just too good not to be made in MG size.

Just playing the devil’s advocate about the ‘green’ commenter. HLJ already minimizes the packing material for SAL shipments. only the cardboard box which thin or thick is recyclable. while the contents is secured by a cardboard piece and minimal shrinkwrap to keep secured. They don’t use packing peanuts and only use the big air bags for bigger, heavier shipments. Yes, the commenter might be ok with crushed boxes or damage items. But not all people will want a damaged item and not all items are repairable or usable if they’re damaged, that in itself represents more waste of money, fuel and materials if they had to be returned and/or thrown away. It’s a matter of risks as a business taking into account that most postal services around the world rough handle packages and if you started skimping on packaging and started to see a increase in people asking for refunds because they received damaged stuff, then it’s eating into the business profits and again conversely more wasteful. As a matter of fact I frequently reuse the hlj boxes to ship stuff locally because they have the right thickness and durability.

Choice is important and the concept that I was advocating was one offering an option for those situations when reduction would be suitable. Todd’s reply about HLJ’s building and transport was encouraging and I commend them all for their efforts.

With the effects set, the fin funnels are not just for show.

It looks like you are going to have a busy December for building the new kits.

Haros and Pikachu only getting my attention.
I’ll stick with my MG Ver.Ka Nu Gundam. 1/144 scale is not my cup of tea.

The HGBD:R Mobile Doll May has been announced. Looks like Mobile Doll Sarah’s going to have company. Will Bandai release a Wodom Pod model though?
Tesla Effect
The more EL-Diver Mobile Dolls we get the better. They are way nicer because they have that additional mecha option for the kit. I could honestly go for an entire line of EL-Diver kits in the same style as Sarah or May.

Imagine having a fleet of cybertrucks to deliver gunpla.

Interesting indeed.

the effect parts look so good, hope future gunpla get this treatment
still waiting on the prize since Gunpla TV Episode 338

I find it bizarre when and how Bandai decides to include waterslide decals with what kits. It seems like waterslides are commonplace for the “Mecha Collection” kits… except certain ones from like Macross Delta and others only get low-resolution stickers. Most Gundam kits don’t have waterslides, but some will, and others will even have dry-transfers… It’s just all over the place with them.

Gundam Seltzam reminds me of Guren Seiten from Code Geass, with that crazy big red arm.

I can’t wait for the RX-78-2 Industrial Design comes out. Sucks that when I can’t even get a chance to order it. I hope they’ll have more coming.
The Nu Gundam RG looks seriously attractive.

Unboxing and opening a figure from its vacuum formed cover is a perilous business, those small parts try to make a break for it like they have been planning an escape from their plastic coffin.
As the parts pop out and take to the air one wonders if it’s the packaging is to blame or commend for this startling occurrence which elevates this mundane task to the level of heart pumping adventure denoting the precise moment when the ‘boxed’ becomes the ‘unboxed’ leaving no Schrödinger’s moment of duality.
This phenomenon is seldom referred to and even less commonly recorded which perhaps could qualify it as a factor in future reviews.

2020 is soon, what kit do you guys are excited for?
webfox100
They really need to change up the next HARO for me to buy another. Like made a HAROBE or HARO from Gundam AGE.
Helluva
Hello, this rg nu gundam really looks just awsome.. and to answer to Momentai ; what kit am i exited for ? A lot ! I intend at som point to try making a custom Striker gn-x with Sw and sv weapons maybe.. still thinking about it. I really wish that someday bandai would release all hazel models in regular stuff and not just in p-bandai.. A kit i would like is the MG rx121 tr1 Hazel custom.

I want to throw out a prediction. Probably going to be way off, but hey.
You’ve got a Haro that’s not been revealed yet. I’m probably one of the few to gamble on a preorder of them. Two in fact.
The interesting thing is that the “coming soon” image also features Sanrio in its trademarks…
Are we about to see a Haro Kitty…? Possibly based on the Momoharo? That’s my bet.

I hope so, because I need that in my life.

If only for the Hello/Haro pun it needs to exist. The fact it would be adorable is a bonus =)
