@Ryan and @Syd
Just finished the latest episode and was psyched you read my comment! Ask and you shall receive. I did these guys while the wife was away for the weekend and gave them to her for her desk at work when she got back. I scribed in the glasses and used some tamiya putty for texture on the beard. The ponytail is my actual hair.

As surprised as I am with the HG Revive Freedom, as disappointed I am with the Amazing Red Warrior… Glad I held out on that one.
Thanks guys, now we’re never gonna figure out what was in that box!!!!!!!
In the whole history of Gunpla TV Giveaway I’ve never ever seen a picture posted of a kit won by one of the contenders, nor red a comment on the…[Read more]
Ryan, i always curious about your ma.k collection. Can you show me (or us) your finished ma.k kits? And one more. Are they expensive? Excuse my broken english. Thank you very much.
Question on water slides: why are they so difficult to get? HLJ is not the only place on the web that sells them but everywhere is the same: huge and permanent out of stocks. So Syd and Ryan do you know why those water slides are so hard to get world wide? I hate the stickers, even the latest “RG style” ones and I never start a kit if I don…[Read more]
they’re not released frequently..my waterslides I’ve to wait for few months the same as the LED set from hlj..I just ordered them even being backordered but my waiting usually fruitfull except for my MG RX-78-2 3.0 waterslides they have to take out from my order since Bandai discontinued them..maybe I’ve to make it myself since I can get the…[Read more]
I quite like it, it reminds me a lot of the Ground Gundam/EZ8. I probably won’t be picking it up at this point though, as I’ve already got the RX-78 2 3.0.
Well, each RX-78 2 has it’s own style so when you look at 2.0 being anime style and 3.0 being new engineering in realistic design and proportions then that’s okay. Katoki has his own special design and I kinda think of this Origin one as a 2.0 to that one.
Even though I love the RX78-2, I think it’s normal that people get tired seeing so many reiterations getting released. But at the same time it was to be expected because of the release of the Gundam Origin show.
The unpainted prototype could be either the RX78-02 or the RX78-01 Test Type that used this equipment setup when it intercepted the platoon of Zakus that infiltrated Side 7 in chapter One (page 45), wiping out the platoon in chapter Two by shooting one at close range (page 49) which rips a hole open in Side & flushed it out into space so that…[Read more]
I have recently gotten into gundams. I have assisted my kids putting some kits together but have only assembled one my self. I know this is the MG section and wanted to ask if HLJ would be getting the MG 1/100 FA-78-2?
If not is bandaionline a safe place to order it from?
The MG 1/100 FA-78-2 is an online exclusive, so unfortunately HLJ won’t sell it….
I did some digging and found that bandaionline isn’t a good nor safe online shop.
They claim to be in business since 2013, but the site is only registered since January 2015.
It is also confirmed that a few persons placed a preorder, where billed accordingly and…[Read more]
I’ve ordered some stuff from this website and they’re all fine. website is a bit clunky and items stocks are limited but over all ok site especially for past exclusive…[Read more]
I can second Iceburn’s recommendation for Mandarake as well. I’ve bought from them (mostly exclusives) for a long time and never had any problem so far. It could be a bit pricey though. And not all listed items on their site is really still available. Sometimes it’s already sold out, so they have to double check first. The latest I’ve got from…[Read more]
yeah i know what you mean. they’ve got a 3-day item stock check before you can even pay for them. Prices are a higher than genteikits.com but they sometimes have old exclusives and they are way better than the last option which is ebay.
latest item i got from them was a Astray Noir and Ver RM Striker Packs
