Syd, I have deleted my entry for the intermediate of 1/48 mega size RX-78 ANA. Is it possible to join in beginner modeller with my FW converge dendrobium? I will do some panel lining, painting, detailing and decals
U don’t have to use kits bought from HLJ. But the kit must be available for sale at HLJ/ was at one point sold at HLJ. Dismantling and putting it back won’t make FW Converge a legal entry as this is a plamo competition not a figure competition. FW Converge is a figure not a plamo. I see that u previously tried to enter a mega size ANA RX-78-2 kit.…[Read more]
U still have > 3 months left to complete ur entry, grab one kit. It’s very easy to find. Even much easier and much cheaper than the limited edition ANA kit that u have tho. There’s still chance.:)
Like Meijin said, you can go to you local hobby store, buy a kit from them which HLJ sales and now you are in the running. They made some clarification to the rule which you should check out.
don’t think this will happen anymore. from their email, bandai is setting up a online parts replacement system for those outside japan.
that’s why hlj and other places that did parts (genteikits etc) has stopped this service as well. that or it’s too much trouble (time and money) to be the middle man for it. they didn’t have to do it as the…[Read more]
@daverb , Thanks for sharing this mail with us! That would be awesome if Bandai will finally do this!
And how cool of you to write them an email. How did you get the email address if I may ask?
Sorry, I’m just curious as a cat 😉
but i guess it only worked back then and they even covered the replacement under the customer’s responsibility (in short, even if you broke it). it seems they’ve stopped and so i got that reply from them after a week or so. i was so bummed…
Damn as usual only Italy in Europe is granted this service.
In France we are a lot of Gunpla fans and it’s been years we’re relying on personal friends in Japan to get replacement parts. Each time we are sorry to disturb them with this so when I saw your topic I was like “YEAH FINALLY!”, then I watched the video and saw the email sample and was…[Read more]
im just gunna throw this out there but on ebay theres a guy that sells certain gundam parts like astray, quebeley and other kits so you may want to check that guy out
also i know that gundamstoreandmore sell specific gundam parts too so if ur lucky and they have that one it might be good too
It’s been years that Bandai supports only Italy in Europe, that’s a shame and I don’t think it will change soon.
I know someone who was fed up with the GBWC contest rules and went on a trip to Italy to participate. He managed to apply his Gunpla but when the guys saw he wasn’t Italian they told him to get the f… out.
Umm… FW Converge aren’t plamo ur supposed to enter plamo….
No, Converge isn’t Gunpla, it has to be something you have to build from plastic runners.
that’s exactly what I mean. To enter u have to build a plamo(plastic model). FW Converge is a figure. It’s already pre-built.
I see, So can I just dismantle the whole thing and put it back again to join. Or better yet transfer to advance modeller?
I just want to have fun building but currently no available kits to enlisted except for this one which I bought from HLJ also.
