i absolutely downright dislike this series the only thing good about this show is some of the few gundams that debut in it like gundam x maoh or wing gundam fenice rinosuta
What a shame. I thought it was quite a fun series to watch so long as you can get past the kiddy plot aspects of the show. It was a nice tribute to the gundam franchise.
I quite liked this series, though I always think of it as a series like Yugioh, where it is just a ‘happy fun and teamwork’ kind of plot line rather than a deconstruction of war like most of gundam.
Or the same story told over again for three series, kid finds gundam in time of crisis, somehow knows how to pilot the thing, becomes one the best pilots after a few slaps from Bright, sacrifices made on both sides by loyal friends, the end.
I liked this series, and it kind of shows that they know how enthused and dedicated their fans are with…[Read more]
To be fair, it’s not like this was another Seed series(despite the main character having a penchant for the Strike), because Seed and all of it’s accompanying series are the stain on the Gundam Universe.
By Filming standards, G-savior is better. Yes it was a bad movie that never should have been made, but it fit in with all the really crappy cartoon/video game to live action adaptions, actually being better then all of them at the time. G-savior is also a single movie of bad, where as seed spans more then 100 episodes, over more than one series. I…[Read more]
After a solid day of building my PG Zaku II is completed. I love this kit, It really makes me want to get another prefect grade but that monstrous price tag will limit me a bit :P.
Looks great! Does the PG come with a bazooka? I can’t imagine how big that would be. Im not sure when I get my first PG If I want char’s version or this one.
Unfortunately it doesn’t come with a bazooka, though that’s understandable provided how huge it would be.
I think that the Char’s Zaku II just has different armor to accommodate the extra thrusters, (eg on the backpack and legs) so the only real factor is which colour scheme you prefer.
Wow, I ordered my first PG yesterday and it so happens to be the Zaku II. I’m more excited than ever to get my hands on it. It should arrive in stock at HLJ next month. Kit looks top notch and I can only hope to get it half as good!
Update on the PG Zaku II; I’ve finished the legs and they look simply astounding (and as tall as my MG RX-78-2 3.0). I’m really excited to finish the torso now and see it all put together.
Woah, no wonder those boxes were so big. Must be super exciting, but you’ve got your work cut out for you… if I use the time I spent putting my Sazabi VK together as a guideline, I shudder to think of the hours it would take to do them all.
Yes, it is going to take some time but take the Zoids, for example, they have between 25 and 40 runner but some of them have only 6-8 parts on it. Big kits, large boxes but also very large parts. Or the Votoms, here also you get something like the cockpit already molded.
But you’re right the Sazabi will take a lot of time … what year we have now? 😉
Thanks, I’ll have but the Gojulas is not as extensive as expected. The kit has just aprox. 35 runers. In videos or on pictures he looks more massive. ^^
You’ve got yourself some great kits. Hours upon hours of fun. The Sazabi and the iron kong are great builds. Man I would love to get the gojulas but the price and where to display are my problems. Anyway enjoy building them all.

I’m currently working on a custom build using 1/144 HG kits. I”m using a Gundam X Maoh, mainly just for the spare V-Fin atm, 2 Wing Gundam Fenice, a Wing Gundam, a Meteor…
Yeah, I had an order that shipped on April 3rd, just about two weeks after they mentioned the HG parts promotion on the show, and no HG parts. At this point, the HG parts promotion is over, so unless it restarts, it’s done.
I don’t really mind that I didn’t get the parts – I would’ve liked to get some, and I was curious about what’s in the sets……[Read more]
I like seeing the visual change, but its just so monotonous. I’m actually going to have to sf some glee down for the shiny parts since the destiny has a lot of short stickers that done properly grip corners
After my initial surprise at not recieving my bonus hg parts sets , i emailed customer services . Two days later and they are here , in the UK. It has to be said i have never experienced customer service this good , keep up the great work HLJ.
Just finished the ZOCK!!!! I add it some extra panel lines and I drilled little holes on the edges it makes it look more mechanical… Well here are some pics let me know if y…

It was a fun light hearted series that did its job and showed the fun of gunpla

While many may argue that the seed series was bad, there is a much darker, more prominent stain.

The funny thing though, is that seed and seed destiny. Thus, I may be more forgiving of crappy series.
