Within the next week or so, the U.S. will have an online form for those who cannot enter our regional live competition events. Unfortunately Bandai has limited it to 3 pictures and this is valid until September 26, 2013. This is actually separate from the Plamocon site, which implies you could enter a different kit for both websites to increase…[Read more]
Someone shouldn’t have to write a bunch of different plugs for what is ultimately the same thing on one web site. Furthermore, if you are a member on multiple groups, wouldn’t you be tired of seeing the same post in 3/4 of your groups.
I kind of want to just create the 50 or so odd groups right now to illustrate how ridiculous this may end up…[Read more]

As more groups are created probably some will emerge as more popular than…[Read more]
