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.
Just Finished my Thunderbolt ball! Great little kit if you like to paint but straight out of the box its nothing special. Its my first ball kit and I really enjoyed it.
First completed kit of 2015! I am really excited about how this turned out. The Ez-SR Titans Ver. Custom. I used parts from the original Ez-8 for the knee armor and various…
Wow, I’m really impressed with that Titans paint job. The Titans scheme has always been one of my favorites from gundam, so keep up the awesome work! 😀
Just have to do one arm and the head. Then it’s on to the weapons. I’ll post some pictures soon. Have some difficulties uploading the pictures from my phone to the laptop.
I’ve painted all the parts so far, and I have to say, there are no issues whatsoever with parts not fitting or sanding parts to get them fitted after painting as is the case…[Read more]
Enjoy! this is a great kit. I built and applied the decals and topcoat. It looks great, paint isn’t needed but I would say to paint. Just to add that extra level of detail.
HGBF Ez-SR Titans Ver. Very happy with how this kit is turing out. Im going to give it a custom weapon from the HG customize campaign.I went with the original Ez-8 knee armor because I felt it looked more practical. Hope 2015 is treating everyone well so far can’t wait to see what you all have in store.
Last model for 2014. HGUC Full Armor Unicorn with Hyper beam javelin. I have been wanting to build this kit since it came out in April but kept getting distracted by other…
My 1/2400 Zanzibar. This kit had been sitting around collecting dust so I decided to finish it finally. Its a great kit for only 2 dollars and some change. Some size comparisons with my 1/2000 Musai and a preview for whats in works.
Nothing fancy this time around but every collection need one! The classic GM! All I need now is the GM2 and the family will be complete. GM with GM3 for comparison.
