If you want to panel line a painted kit is it necessary to apply a topcoat over the paint and then add the panel lines or can I just fill the panel lines directly on the paint.
p.s. Been using regular tamiya spraycans for painting and will be using the gundam panelwash marker.
If the paint went on really smooth, you could do the panel lining on top of the paint, since the Tamiya spray cans are lacquer based and the Gundam Markers are water based. If the paint is a bit grainy, you could have some difficulties removing the excess.
When planning on doing a top coat over the panel lines and paint job, make sure the panel…[Read more]
Do you think Bandai will release anymore Mega Size kits? If so, which one? Personally I’m hoping for a Mega Size Star Build Strike. How awesome would that be!?
PS that Mega Size Age-1 would fit perfectly with my Mega Size RX-78-2
I saw the Black Tri Stars Zaku II (Origin Ver.) while flicking through Hobby Japan and was disappointed that they didn’t show the large Heat Hawk. But after seeing the System Weapons at the beginning of the video I’m beginning to think that Bandai might release the Heat Hawk that way.
Ive only been watching the show for a few months but ive gotta say Gunpla TV is my favorite model kit related show, keep up the awesome work. Sieg Zeon!
Been watching since episode 40 when Ryan starts featuring and loving it since then. Thanks for making Monday a day to look forward too again and keep up the good work.
great episode again. How large is the double X mg kit? it doesn’t look that large, would be fun to see it next to a sazabi ver ka which is a pretty large MG
Good day to both of you. Regarding water slide and regular decals, there is a color differennce in decal sheets. The water slides would be the light blue and the green would be the regular decals. Its also easy to diferentiate the regular decal to a water slide by the texture of the sheet. Again more power and greatday.
I totally forgot to comment about what star wars I would like to see and I think Bandai HAS to release a figure of a character in the background and you think who on earth was that. A homage to the old kenner figurines. And I must say the Age-1 is a underrated design the more I see it in kit from the more I’ve enjoyed its design.
Oh, and I have a question, is it possible to change the tools for building a kit like I’m new to gunpla and I’ve been interested in building one so I’ve been thinking…do I have to use nippers to cut of the parts from runners or can I just use a very sharp scissors instead of buying nippers…Once again great vid as always 😀
you guys are the best… I hope i had kinda job when i grow up job that can make you happy and give you money hahaha..looking forward for my new RE kit hahah
Looking forward to the RG 00 Raiser. Bandai must have done some miracle to fit a very complicated and detailed kit into a 1/144 form including its exo skeleton. Just finished building my twin satellite cannon while watching this episode. Having a Weapon Block since only shield and beam rifle is left for Double X. Thanks for awesome episode Sid & Ryan!
Finished my MG double x gundam and it was AWESOMMMEE!! I was wowed each time i put the pieces on, especially the legs… The mechanism is just…. i have no idea how to express it. It is a kit worth recommending!!!
And pls, i have been waiting for so long, pls, i wanna win the mega size!!!
Hi Syd and Ryan,
Awesome episode as always.
Was wondering if i can put a water base top coat over an acrylic top coat after the decal?
Thanks for the reply.
Hope to see another amazing episode from you soon
Maybe a little reward for doing a oh-so-difficult five page essay at 4:43 in the morning? I think I’m becoming nocturnal… those LEDs from that Mega Size could help with the lighting here….
Mega size is cool and all but the lack of detail really grinds my gears as a modeler. They are just begging to get as tricked out as a real grade, only reason I never got one was because I don’t like the mobile suits in that line enough to buy one. By the way what would you like to see most as a mega size?
Awesome show guys. I can wait for the Tryon gundam to come out. The wooooah i didnt know they did mega sized gundams! but i did started building gundam about a year ago so theres alot of things I still need to learn. I love the age series of gundams so i would super happy if i even win x)
When I saw the mega size age I screamed out “OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD” I would be so happy if I won a mega size XD I’ve always wanted to show my dad the massive gundams. Since the largest I have at the moment is hg Unicorn destroy mode.
Reposted from Episode 172 because I need to know the answer please!
(my comments was no. 345)
Where can I get the big posters of gundams? The ones that are behind you guys during the show… and so happened that you guys mentioned posters this episode. What a coincidence!
I really love the Hi-Nu Gundam! I have the SD, HG and the MG version. I would like to get my hands on a Hi-Nu poster. Can I order through HLJ?
MEGA SIZE Syd, Ryan ,I need that mega size but I also have a question so first GIMME THAT MEGA SIZE and second which gundam animes have you guys personally seen? Any favs?
Thanks for another cool episode. I’m almost done building the last of the RG kits (I have most of them) so I am looking forward to the next as well. I actually have about six kits all lined up and ready to be panel lined but work and the rest of life seems to try to keep me away from it.
great episode as always guys
i really looking forward to some big kits from star wars!
and please show the work in progress of that kit in the show like older episode guys. i really like those parts of the show.
I dont see any kits that interest me this year except for the RG wings and RG Double O Raiser. Come on Bandai atleast do a 2.0 older kitslike the GP01 or the GP02A. Even the RE line only the Nightingale is worth buying(for me). where’s my 3.0 Zaku Bandai????
Great show guys i wish i can win either the mega size or the hg i just wanna win something anyways syd now that the gundam build fighter try is over when do u think they will realease a Mg Build Burning gundam?
Let’s see ALL STAR WARS Kits!!! That TIE looks awesome can’t wait to see (somehow) how it looks all battle-damaged and painted!
I’ve been watching for a few weeks now and I love this show guys you are all awesome. It would be great if you bring back some tutorials, I just built the Nobell yesterday with my girlfriend and she loves it and is super exited with Gunpla!
Congratulations to the winners and crossing fingers for next week.
I would love to get that MEGA after all i was born in 1973…and episode 173 fits!!
Great show guys i do have a question for you. You received some more DMK bumblebees but no optimus primes (DMK 01). Do you know if it will be re-released?
Thanks for your show Syd and Ryan, got my double X from Hlj, cant wait to put it together but I already have a huge backlog of kits I need to build and since i don’t have much room for them I need to choose wisely which one to build first.
I just built one of the Revell Star wars kits it was not nearly as nice as any Bandai kit I have built. So I hope Bandai will keep up making Star Wars kits.
Wow, the MG Double X looks AMAZING!!! I didn’t realize how enormous the panels were! Also, thank you so much for the info on the waterslide decals, I’ll be sure to look for that as I progress into the decal stage with my kits. Thanks again as always, for another awesome show!
Whilst watching your show I really got excited for all the TIEs bandai is hopefully going to release. It would be very cool to have an Interceptor and bomber. Maybe even a TIE Defender.
The AGE 1 needs more love, I think it’s a great reference to the RX-78-2 whilst still being very unique in it’s own way.
Great episode as usual guys. I just thought today how amazing it would be for you guys to give away a mega size, and there it is! Congrats to whoever wins it! 😀
Yes a Mega would be great to have. The one kit i would love to see Bandai build for Star Wars is a complete inside out lightsaber with the crystals and all. Love GunPla and also would like to see more tutorials too. GUNPLA TV is great and Sid the mic is supposed to be pointed towards you so we can hear you better.
actually crossing my fingers for the two HG’s as opposed to the mega size, I’ve always wanted to see what a painted kit would be like, just don’t have the supplies to do it myself.
Well I never realised that the mega sized ones were available! I new there was the RX-78 and a Zaku, but I thought they were exclusive issues. Are there any other gunda ms that got the mega sized treatment?
would it be wrong if i said i wanted to see bandai make some pod racer kits? they definitely aren’t one of the first things that come to mind when thinking of star wars, but i thought they were a pretty fascinating aspect of the franchise, all the same
I may have to start buying some of these Star Wars kits, all of the ones you’ve shown are pretty good looking for the price and time it takes to build them. Great episode as always guys, keep it up!
Great show as always. As much as I enjoy watching you guys talk gunpla, I really want to see more of Anna and Lindsay. You have to admit they are better looking!
Hey I know I won the MG Wings but looking at the Mega Grade AGE-1 as well as the HG AGE-1 and Syd’s custom painted HG Beginning Gundam. I think I’ll try my luck again and hope for either position, but still it would be cool if I won the MEGA Grade AGE-1.
Oh, to win the mega size would be awesome! Hell, winning any gundam would be awesome. Maybe this time luck will be with me. With that aside, are there any plans from Bandai to do any MG from Advance of Zeta? (besides what’s already available). Also, it would be nice if they rereleased the add on parts for the A.O.Z. gundams that came with the Dengeki magazines. What do you guys think about that?
Hey guys, I bought the hg try bruning and the hg sengoku astray to do a custom build. Im painting with a paintbrush, but someday i want to try using an airbrush. Winning the Mega size Age-1 would be amazing.
good work guys! A lot of interesting stuff, i hope that bandai will make some kits fot the star wars “big ships” like star destroyers, maybe something like the yamato 2199 line =D
Hey Syd and Ryan big fan of the show. I have been watching your show for sometime now but I am a new member for hlj and hobbylink tv. Keep up the good work!
I stopped the video before I saw what you were giving away!!!! i just want to win!!! also love the double X ill probably pick one up after i get a new car… just picked up the X and am super exicted to build it! also the Wing Fenice is like my fav if not second fav from GBF really hope i can pick that one up too! keep up the awesome videos and Ryan you should put all of the starwars kits you have together and show us the diorama!!!
Hi, I know im losing my time, but here it goes nice episode and gl to the winner (crossing finger but I know isn’t me)keep it up nice show OO Raiser secksy by the way and all Gundam OO pretty neat anyways keep it up
Great episode guys! I wish I could get a translation for the bottom of the RG 00 poster. Is that a promotional add-on of waterslides or marking stickers for HGUC/RG 00/HGBF kits?
hmmm, a General Grievous will be a good kit for a star wars kit the bounty hunter Boba Fett with all of its armaments would be great!!! That mega size would be a great part of my collection hehehehehe!!!
That gundam DX looks amazing. I immediately went to my local hobby store to get one after this episode.Keep the episodes coming guys. Do you think you will be reviewing the new incoming kotobukiya kits? Especially zoids?
I just finished building both the MG unicorn and the MG banshee and wowee they’re pretty snazzy it’s almost like getting two gunpla in one thanks to the transformation gimmick
Oh man, that Double X looks amazing. Been meaning to watch the series at some point, just too busy with classes and real life at the moment. Maybe this summer will be better.
I’m loving the Dijeh design. I’m really interested to see the detail on that one. Once it comes out… somewhere in October… of 2016… I’m also curious about the next RE100 project they’re working on, after the Dijeh.
Speaking of Mega. We just had MegaCon this weekend in Orlando ,FL. I did not see any gundam cosplays. It’s decided I’m am going to work on a gundam cosplay for next years MegaCon
I wish all the Gundam kits came in larger sizes with out the “much larger” prices. I think most of the HG 1/144 kits are just to small. I wish bandia made more kits where the figure is 10 inches or larger that wouldn’t kill my wallet so much. I was going to put an order recently at hlj.com but all (yes all) the kits I like or want appear to be on “back order”. And with the shipping rates being almost equal to my cart price, I’m really concerned that I would be waiting forever for any of the back ordered items to come in, if they even do. I’m also worried about the possibility of the shipping time and costs when and if these same kits I want do come back in stock. Then there is the Yen to US dollar rates to worry about.
So essentially, I’m wondering how one is charged for ordered items at hlj.com and if the quoted shipping rates would be the same or possibly less than the websites quoted shipping rates?
Hey guys! Nice show as usual. So, will Ryan’s Falcon be finished before Episode 7 comes out? I know, I can’t be the only one who wants to see the final product. May the Force be with you.
Want your girlfriend into Gunpla? 1 Beargguy III, some SD Gundam, and Beargguy F. Then go Hunting for Berry Beargguy F. My fiance just finished the SD Nu Gundam and is currently on the Beargguy F
I can’t wait for the Rg 00-Raiser. I’ve done mostly HG, an RG Mk-II and Just finished an RG Exia while I was watching this episode. Any guesses as to what the next RG might be? Since they’re still sticking with lead mobile suits, a different series might be up next.
Hey guys dbl x looks really good and I’d where that tie hahah a . Hope I win that megaaaaaa sizzzzze hopin for this since the give away started later dude miss those ladysss just sayin
Gundam Double X really is a beauty in MG! I have the HGAW 1/144 Double X and planing to get that MG as well. Awesome mega size man! Bandai should be making a mega size Exia! That would be awesome! Thank you for the awesome show hope you build more awesome kits!
Mega scale or the Two HG’s either is good for my small but growing collection! I only have 2 1/2 kits right now. The half is because I got the loto twin set and one of them broke. The next model I plan to purchase is going to be the HGUC Gouf custom, because my collection is entirely federation it needs a little zeon love as well.
Damn forgot how big that mega size really is. I always wanted to purchase the mega size age-1 but sadly enough the import taxes on something that big would be way to much in my country. 🙁
MY GOSH! that is a HUMONGOUS AGE Gundam! I wouldn’t even know what to do with it if I had one! I’m more partial to the 1/144 and SD gunpla’s because of customizability (1/144) and cute factor (SD). Plus, nice work on that Gundam Double-X Syd! Now if only I could be able to get those noticeable nub marks better while building my kits…
Also if somehow I win the Mega size AGE-1, id like the 1/144 sets instead as I would rather have more parts to customize my Gunpla with rather than a HUGE gunpla that I don’t know what to do with
I just love that Transient Gundam. Because I rarely get ahold of Gundam kits (1-4 kits per year) I tend to choose carefully and pick an unique kit that both excels in quality and gimmicks, and also has some room for custom paint jobs and panel lining at the end. I really like that Transient, and I’m definitely looking forward to picking it up in the near future. Thanks for the new episode!
Wow, I’d be totally ecstatic to win either of this weeks kits. Amazing prizes this time guys. Hope the random number gods smile upon me.
Just finished up the weapons on my PG Unicorn. Having a lot of fun with this kit and I’m looking forward to flicking the switch on those LED’s. It’s taking me a while as I’m working on a full paint job on this one.
Like you guys I saw the StarWars trailer and looking forward to December. Between the movie and the new Star Wars Battlefront game, it’s looking like the force will be with us.
Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing you guys again soon.
Great as always. I hope to see a kit of the nebulon b frigate from star wars. Im still praying for bandai to do a galbaldy beta kit from zeta gundam cause come on who doesnt love an all red mobile suite.
I’m looking forward to the new starwars designs, the storm, space and flame trooper look so sick, but the originals will always be the best from the nostalgia
With the way that Bandai is continually improving the details on these kits, do you think they will ever standardise the kits at a certain scale or detail limit?
I’m really liking the Double X. Do you think it would be possible to re-color those wing effect parts though? I’m not a fan of yellow, and I think a red or Blue scheme would be amazing on that kit.
Keep up with your good work. I want to say thank you Sid And Ryan, because of you, I love gunpla. So a big thanks for having made me discover this wonderfull hobby
…..Did Ryan shave because I’m pretty sure he had facial hair before. Another great episode. Your humour never ceases to amaze me. Haven’t won anything in a while. I’m looking for a place to buy an airbrush so i can pain my mg exia dark matter, know a good place to find one?
“Pull it out!” I don’t need a prize. The fact that that phrase was said is prize enough! XD
Love the show guys. I don’t have a PC, so I have been watching every episode and viewing your sites via iphone. Was wondering if you considered making an app or mobile version of the site. Also I love podcasts and I am so sad that your podcast does not have any episodes! T-T Was wondering if you will ever bring that back although it is also time consuming.
Actually, they are probably copying from the class of real-world fighter aircraft called Air Superiority Fighters… kind of holdover from the Cold War where countries compete to manufacture the best and most expensive fighter aircraft possible. 🙂
Hey Syd and Ryan, I love your show. I’ve been a Gundam fan since Wing and G were on Cartoon Network, and watching your show made me really want to build Gunpla again. Thanks Gents and continue to build for our entertainment. Also Ryan, Gundam would destroy Macross (little late I know, but better than never hahaha!)
i found this little SnapTite TIE interceptor(already painted).. on my lunch the other day so i decided to do a little to make it my own…black wash , 181st red stripes tamiya mica red and citadel mechrite dry brush
We’ve got some big stuff to show off in this episode of Gunpla TV so be prepared to see Syd and Ryan drool as the Atlas from Titanfall and the Banshee Norn are pretty awesome! As well, Syd shows off some WIP of […]
glad there are other mecha type of models going out, even with a higher price it is very well built and painted. I also like the Fixation line they are for collectors who can’t really build. I’ve given up on winning but keep it guys.
If a piece is snapped in half, you might be able to simply fuse the pieces back together using modeling cement. Sand the outer surface and excess cement down, maybe add a piece of styrene to the underside of the piece (if possible) for support, and you should be good to go.
If it’s a snapped peg or other joint, you may have to reinforce the joint with a steel rod, epoxy glue, putty, etc. Strengthen the joint, fill any empty space that may have developed due to the joint warping before snapping, then sand down.
In either case, you’re almost certainly going to need some paint to cover up the fix. As for not breaking it again, you’ll just have to be conscious of where things broke and be careful not to do so again.
I have built two Master Gundams with Fuunsaiki and both times, Funnsaiki’s leg teared off with the ball joint inside. The first time I got a replacement and the second time I was able to take it out with a screwdriver(blood everywhere) but my Fuunsaiki is now alive :).
It’s incredible how awesome looking the psychoframe transformation is on everything UC related, both figures AND model kits. Can’t wait to see the Double X with the backpack and cannons on! Then the space peacock will be complete!
Another great episode and THANK YOU SO MUCH for mentioning me and my comments. And though I’m not the biggest nobel gundam fan I DEFINITELY need more gunpla in my collection. Oh and ill keep commenting on videos until I win something YOU HAVE MY WORD!
hey sid and ryan
good job with the show, hope to win that master gundam
and how would you give a sinanju a gundam style face? want to work on making a sin stein, could you show how to do that?
Syd, Ryan, I’m planning on painting an HGUC Z II Gundam I got as a birthday present acouple months back. Now this is going to be the first kit I paint so I’d like to know if you guys have any advice for dealing with “first kit I’m painting anxiety.”
The HG God Gundam was actually the first kit of my gunpla collection. Would be great if I could win either of those prizes. Also hoping Bandai plans to make more HGs from the G Gundam series.
I started working on my first MG recently which is the FA-78-1 Full Armor Gundam and happened to find an older video from Syd putting together the same kit that proved to be extremely helpful. Now that I’ve finished putting together the model I plan to try my hand at weathering it, wish me luck!
and I hope I win that HG Master Gundam and Fuunsaiki with the broken leg. I need the practice to learn how to reapir a damaged kit.
I meant what I said. If they release it only as a P-bandai item which isn’t available to everyone then it’s not common and many people won’t ever get to experience it.
Hey Syd and Ryan, I have a questions, how can I can identify a waterslide decal on a certain kit if it’s a waterslide or not, like for example, MG Sinanju ver OVA? And does waterslide decals really need Mr.Mark Softer to use on a certain kit? ? Great video as always. Sieg Zeon!
Ive been building gunpla for a long time and in all my years ive never met a girl who was interested in it…until now! My girlfriend is very interested in starting gunpla. I think it would be cool to give her that custom Nobell Gundam and buy her a brand new one as well to kind of show the possibilities of gunpla customization! Hope i win!
I would stay up for a Raiser live stream, can’t hardly wait for the release. Though sadly it will enter the ever increasing pile of plastic goodness, obtained from HLJ!!
Resitance is futile!!
Much RG lov.
Going to be waiting patiently for the Damashii Villkiss, from Cross Ange. Thankfully got my preorder in!!!
Hopeing you gents will show it on Gunpla TV when it’s released.
There’s a transform…….
Great episode as always! I enjoy watching this show and look forward to new episodes every single week. As for this week’s kit drawing, I hope I get the Nobel Gundam because its Sailor Moon theme is worth a Gundam Nobel Prize. Keep up the good work!!
Another awesome episode guys. I always look forward to ending my weekends with an episode of Gunpla TV. Both of the kits are very cool and I hope to win one. I have friends who are big G Gundam fans and I plan to give them as gifts
I really wanted to get a metal gundam but after having built the PG Unicorn, the other Unicorn are underwhelming!Anyone having built the PG will understand! I just hope I get to buy the Metal build Amatsu when it comes out!!This one is overwhelming!!
Always following the show, keep up the great work guys. Would love to be the winner for the master gundam W/ horse. One of my favorite designs and fighting capabilities. Only pilote that can take down mobile suits barehanded, totally badass.
think i would like to see an imperial shuttle come out for the star wars kits.
as for that master gundam, looks like he shouldn’t of been horsing around
Hey Syd and Ryan,
I just discovered Gunpla about a month ago and am completely into it. All 172+ of your videos got me through many boring shifts at work the last 3 weeks. Though you sometimes kid about the early episodes, they helped increase my modeling skills tenfold. I just want to say I appreciate all the work you guys do, and thank you for the awesome shows and content.
Gundam X needs a lot more love, it’s the Mad Max of the Gundam series’ [have you seen the trailer for the new one btw?]. Another great bit of fun, thanks guys.
I’m currently in Japan, can’t find the Nobel Gundam anywhere 🙁
I did spot an HG AGE-2 normal special forces version, but it was as expenive as an MG Hi-v ver.ka :O
i think i’m gonna get myself that GFF Banshee norn. the shield looks really solid and firm when in destroy mode unlike the MG ver. thanks for presenting it syd !
I’m also one of the model kit people who who also buys figures from time to time especially if its a favorite character. recently I also delve in to the Play Arts Kai line because of Lightning (FF 13) and Vergil (DMC 3). besides there’s nothing wrong of having a few diversities on one’s collection.
Hi guys, nice done on the this episode. I hope I can win the Nobel because It’s a Swedish gundam and I’m from Sweden so… It perfect. (and yes it looks like a Sailor moon gundam)
omg g gundam kits. im a kid growing on the 90s and i watched it,i loved it as a kid loving it until now. my mg god gundam still isnt built but id surely love owning one of these nobel or master with faunsaki.
Mama just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he’s dead.
Mama, life had just begun
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away.
Hi guys! Am new here, just found the channel a couple of weeks ago because I want to start building Gunpla as a hobby with my girlfriend. We both built the MG Unicorn HD Color + Cage a while back (I had previouysly built the MG Ver.Ka Unicorn circa 2010) And we both loved the experience.
We are goiung to start doing HG and RG kits startiong with the HG Banshee in a couple of weeks and we are very exited about it. So this episode wwith a Banshee Figure just made my morning!
Funny story my Girlfriend saw that Master Gundam kit with the unicorn and just flipped out with it… So If I get to win something (fingers crossed and hoping the Random NUmber Generator smiles at me) I would loove that Kit so I can give my Girllfriend the Unicorn (I thingk I can fix the broken peg :))
Great show guys! I’ve been watching old episodes and I am a HUGE FAN of yours. Keep it up!
emmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..I m hoping Bandai would not make the P Bandai coz it sux when the most wanted kits is from P Bandai. I dont care if P Bandai is about special clear version etc but normal MS as a P Bandai…Damn you Bandai. Syd/Ryan can’t HLJ order some of the P Bandai item since i’ve been bulking all the newest release in the HLJ warehouse. I’m not comfortable using other sources since I’m comfortable with hlj responce time and how you handle all my shipment. BTW keep up the good videos guys.
Quick question, I’ve always enjoyed the various gunlpa magazines like Dengeki Hobby and Hobby Japan, especially the articles about different model builders’ techniques, though being in either the Japanese or Chinese language really limits how much I can learn from them, I was wondering if there are any other magazine or even websites that features these things in English, that would really be helpful; again great episode, I hope bandai continues the figure toy line like the unicorn here and hopefully they’ll make a Devil Gundam figure since the chance of Bandai making a new model for it are rather slim hehe.
ARGH! almost had that SD but i was off by 15-16 comments! oh well, might as well try my luck again! id like to have a go at that master gundam as I don’t really have any other gunpla from other series besides gundam build fighters and gundam build fighters try so HERE GOES!
I hope I win the HG Nobel gundam. I’ll give it to my.. Um… ex girlfriend when I graduate from my school this may. That will be my last present for her.*-*
Anyway, keep up the good work guys… *thumbs up*. ^^
Maybe they included the action base for the Atlas because it tends to be leaning either forward or backward easily. The Double X looks like a HG to me. I don’t know why? Maybe because there not enough details on the armors but I am sure a lot are new in terms of mechanical design such as those on the forearm and the sides of the Leg.
If you’ve ever played Xenogears/-saga/-blade, you have a pretty good idea of what to expect from G Gundam. Bombastic mecha designs using kung fu and doing their darnedest to pay tribute to the super robots and tokusatsu of yore.
i ordered a nobel gundam for my fiancee last year but hlj ran out of stock before our order got filled…she still doesn’t have one. i’d be thrilled to win that for her. the master gundam would be cool too but that would be for me. poor fuunsaiki!
Hey syd and Ryan I’ve been trying to get my girlfriend into building gunpla but with not that many kits out there that she likes it gets hard for me to build something for her but that nobel gundam is just the right one for her she’s really into anything that has the kawaii type feel to it
I wanna be that random guy! anyways im too poor to have any model the only 2 models I have is because got a great job now Im unemployee sad story who cares anyways banshee rocks too bad is too expensive for me the tintanfall looks great someday I hope stars looks at me and shine again and get in the rail to get some awesome stuff guys keep it up and thx for the awesome show keep us all updated all times take care and keep having fun
Question for any GFF collectors: Are all GFFs about as big as that Banshee Norn? I seem to recall them being around HG size. This one looks significantly larger, similar to the Metal Build line of collectibles.
1. Great episode!! I like the new figure. (I want that nobell gundam )
2. Looking forward to Completed Double X with the backpack.
3. Banshee Norn was awesome.
Great show guys! For Star Wars stuff I would hope Bandai gets into an extreme high quality 1/72 or bigger Millennium Falcon and a 1/72 Slave I. I own both as Finemolds kits but they are super rare and expensive to get.
Id love to see some kits from Destiny, there are quite a few mechanical based things that are perfect for kits, the walkers, sparrows, the entire vex race and all the ships to name a few.
Hi Syd and Ryan, Love the show
I’m building a Gundam Nu, and I’m needing advice, I’ve done the following
Spray paint –> Mr Super clear Gloss (the acrylic grey can by Mr Hobby) –> Panel line –> Mr Super clear Gloss –> Decal –> ?
And I’m currently putting up the water decals, was wondering did i did it correctly?
And can i put the water base gloss top coat after the water decals? or i need to put the acrylic top coat?
Please let me know whether i overdo it, or underdo it..
Please keep up the good work. looking forward to the next episode
Love the Titanfall and Banshee figures, if they weren’t as pricey as they are would look at getting some, I can get several MG’s for the same price and they are more entertaining to put together.
To answer the Star Wars question. I would like to see the Lambda Class Shuttle as a kit. Always loved the designs with the folding wings and with some luck there could be a figure of the Emperor himself.
Also great to see the G Gundam give aways, hope I win one of them.
Already looking forward to the next episode. Keep up the good work!
Yeah! I’ve been wanting to get a Nobel kit! And Master Gundam is actually one of my favorite Gundams (in anime form). Though I’ve never been too impressed by the HG or MG. But if it’s free I’d like to check it out! Let me get that!!
As Syd said there are a lot of gundam builders who will buy an action figure cause they like the series. Also not having to build and paint something is an added bonus. I am one of these kinds of fans. Haha
I’d get one of the Gundam figures, but for some reason I’d feel like I was cheating. I feel like I need to build every Gundam in own… however my daughter would love the Nobell kit! I guess I could have ONE Gundam I didn’t build myself. Great episode guys!
Wow, the Banshee Norn is amazing. Too bad I won’t spend the money for something like that.
I enjoyed the show, keep the shows coming and good work you two. Amazing stuff.
Peace, Mike
PS. If I win something, I hope its the master asia gundam, he makes the coolest appearance in gundam build fighters final episode and does an awesome combo attack with Ral.
And the award for the Nobell Prize in the field of comment writing goes to SkintheSun, for his inability to check first to see if someone had already made this joke!!
The old 1/100 HG Double X had a spot on the backpack that was removable and had roughly the same connection on the new MG that was meant for the G Falcon unit to plug into. There was an additional piece that would fit on that space that is on the rear of the skirt armor that was used house the hand weapon and a double bladed beam sword. By the time I have written this you may have already discovered this in your build. If that spot on the backpack is still there then Bandai may just release an updated G Falcon unit in the near future. It depends on the chances of updating the other “hero” Gundams from the series. As always great show.
never did like the G Gundam series, but the designs are pretty cool, even if some are ridiculous. but I have a soft spot for the Nobel Gundam.
currently I have a custom build on my work desk and two more on the way, if I can get my painting work done to get paid
gundam and gunpla could stand to have more gender diversity. It would be nice to see more female pilots in lead protagonist roles. The Nobel Gundam is a push in the right direction.
I love gunpla, i have built quite a few kits mostly MGs and I hope I win the competition.
P.S: love the show and I think you guys are doing great, keep uyp the good work!!! 🙂
Hey Guys
Just got the Wing Gundam Honoo + Hobby Japan May 5015 Magazine with the Part Set. As always Love your show. Keep up the Great Work. Can’t wait to See that Double X Bust out the Satellite Cannon.
I want a master gundam that kit is the Shiz. Do you guys think you’ll ever offer that gn arms kit for the rg double o I saw it online and it looks awesome.
Love the show.Thanks to you guys I’ve just started building gundam.I really enjoy SD’s but would really love to build a MG. I was thinking of doing a Shin Musha. What do you guys think?
Returning to model building after seeing the quality of the RG line. Working on picking up every non repaint RG line, then maybe an MG or two. Sinanju and maybe a Unicorn (havent decided which, leaning towards OVA white/red psycho frame) once im done with the RGs.
I really wish they would DUB gundam build fighters so I could watch it and build.
Also any rumors to next RG? I read a lot of blogs and read they might continue the Gundam Wing line, hopefully.
Awesome episode again guys thanks for the great work.
I was always a big fan of the Gundam X Series and its great seeing there suits
in MG GLORY once again. Cant wait to see your finish kit Syd. I hope to get your NOBEL Gundam Syd!!! What would be your speculation for the next RG after 00 Raiser?? I always hoped it would Hyaku Shiki but having the MG Ver2 coming Im sure its not for a while…. Star Wars wise I would actually like to see the Clone troopers with their more military kinda look and weapons. Maybe far off since after eps 4-6 they will be busy pumping the eps 7 ones don’t you think?? Thanks for reading!!!
I love your shows! It’s my fortnightly entertainment. Please keep it up, guys!
I would like to ask a question which is not really related to physical robot toys. The question is where can I get the big posters of gundams? The ones that are behind you guys during the show…
I really love the Hi-Nu Gundam! I have the SD, HG and the MG version. I would like to get my hands on a Hi-Nu poster. Can I order through HLJ?
I never knew that the Gundam figures were that big. I always thought that they were more of a size comparing to the “mobile suit in action” figures at only 4.f to 5 inches (112.5-125mm)in height. I’m now interested in getting some of these new figures. I’ve just “returned” to model building as a hobby and I can appreciate how you show the differences between two different kits of the same character (like the Sinanju vs the Sinanju Ver. Ka. from a previous episode). I’m wondering if you could possibly review or compare some of the Space Battleship Yamato kits (affectionately called Starblazers in the US syndication from my youth). I’m also curious about some of the “third party” Gundam kits from the Chinese “Gogo Model”. How do these “third party” kits compare to Bandia kits? Are they comparable to some of, say, the third party Transformer figures? What are your thoughts?
On the robotech movie thing, if that happens, it’s the worst thing that could happen to macross, harmony gold has blocked all macross stuff for a while now , it is a complex and legal problem but in the event of a movie happening that movie wont reach japan and, no Japanese company will be able to do kits or toys from that movie, what sony has,…[Read more]
There are some great kits in this episode of Gunpla TV and Syd and Ryan are so excited they are beside each other (pun intended). No, really. There is so much great stuff here!
Quick question. How did you guys get a job in Japan? Did you apply before you got there or while you were there? Love the show! And the thunderbolt was a great kit!
Good luck. Getting a job in Japan for an outsider is near impossible unless you want to teach English. Even that is really hard cause everyone wants to be in Japan.
i love the shows guys and am glad you guys did the Honoo, gotta build mine with the magazine items once my other items get in and i can send them to the states so i can build them. love the show guys keep it up
So, who will be your favorite director for the RoboTech movies?
Talked about it way back when, in the older episodes of Gunpla TV.
Only remember NOT Michael Bay and George Lucas. LOL
But serious, I’m on the fence for the new Hyaku Shiki 2.0.
Do you know if it will be the mechie gold plating?
Can’t find a clear answer online, maybe you could shine a light on the subject.
That’s really near and creative how you guys did the “flip book animation with R2D2 and the R4D5. Is it true that there are shops in japan or in malls where you can buy gunpla and build it there or have some help from people, Kind of like Gunpla build fighter and build fighters try, Cool episode and nice R2D2 sounds, I was not sure whether my hearing was going crazy. Keep up the awesome work!!
HI Guys
I look forward to your new episode every week.
Being relatively new to Gundam.
I have read that PG grade will soon be replaced by MG as the new PG?
Is this true? I see quite a few PG grade in Vancouver but they are several years old.
None the less they are very cool!
Cheers
George AKA ST Spike
Just came back from 2 day gaming convention Super!BitCon here in Oklahoma and I look on Youtube to find this! The weekend just keeps getting better. And my wallet more empty. Great video as always guys, keep it up.
hey guys I love the Honoo I am just not a huge fan of all that red, maybe paint it like a flame with blues and yellows to break it all up. love the droids hoping for the falcon to be released. ill take the thunderbolt kit NOW. lol

I would love to hear what you think of sony buying the rights to Macross “robotech” series, I love the idea of a live action movie as long as it is based off of the orginal season one robotech or Macross Frontier other then those I wouldn’t watch it.
I always enjoy your guy’s show. I’m mostly around other girls who don’t appreciate Gunpla (they suck). Thanks guys, you help me love this hobby even more. :3
Really impressed with the droid kits. Vader was a little too clunky, but they look nice. Bandai is winning on price too, the barely articulated Hasbro figures on the US are smaller and rising in price. Can’t wait for 2.0 Hyaku Shiki..
RG 00 Raiser will prbly be the best RG to date, but I am sad that the 7Sword/G version will be P-Bandai, which I can`t get.
And Syd totally agree – Zaku I TB is the best of the TB kits 😛
I hate you mr random number generator!!!! I wanted that armored core kit, and no, I don’t want any of those kits your giving away this week, I just wanted you to know that I hate you random number thingy.
oh and on the robotech movie thing, if that happens, it’s the worst thing that could happen to macross, harmony gold has blocked all macross stuff for a while now , it is a complex and legal problem but in the event of a movie happening that movie wont reach japan and, bandai wont be able to do kits or toys from that movie, what sony has, are the rights to do live action movies from Robotech, not the rights over the merchandise harmony gold owns those.
Harmony Gold is close to bankruptcy and that is why they decide to sell the rights for the movies, as long as harmony gold exists macross will be blocked outside japan, that is why all macross fans should be hoping for harmony gold to go bankrupt.
You and me both friend. I wanted to win that Armored Core really badly as well. But fair is fair I guess. Will I ever win anything that they offer? I highly doubt it.
I am a brand new builder. I saw some finished kits, and some youtube videos and became immediately hooked. I have 4 kits and 1 more on the way(Hono). I bought the Hono from HLJ. I would love to buy more from you guys, but it seems everything I want is on backorder. I read what it means to be on backorder, and being in the states, I can’t wait that long to get my gundam fix. Even though I haven’t built a kit yet. I go a little overboard when I see something I would like to do. And I just jump in feet first. Now I’m doing some research on how to make my kits better. Did I move too fast? I have 2 MG’s and now 3 HG’s. Should I start with something a little more simple? I guess I should have asked these questions first, huh! Oh well, I’m in now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Also, are you guys going to be getting any of the backordered stuff in anytime soon? Or, if I order it, how long would it take to get a backordered kit? Thanks.
Syd! Can I get the add ons like the wing zero honoo sword kit without getting the hobbyjapan magazine? cuz i’m a korean living in malaysia so the shipping is a bit pricey………… PLZ ANSWER!!! Oh and GREAT EPISODE as always
Honoo looks great, looking forward to a RG or MG if they make one.
Also I will be in Japan late April for a few weeks. Looking forward to it.
(from Australia).
Another great show guys would love to see Robotech on the big screen it was my first anime that got me into big robots plus it would be nice to see some Robotech plamo kits from Ban Dai.
I’m Totally in love with the Honoo designs, I REALLY hope we get all of the Honoo’s in kit release form, my only disappointment with the Wing Honoo is the fact that the extra parts are included in the Magazine rather than the kit, Not that it takes away from it.
my fiancee loves sd gundams so winning that sd wing would be great. i might even be able to get her to watch gundam wing with me. she is really enjoying build fighters, so it might not be that hard.
hello guys. I started building gunpla a year agin and have built 6 kits so far: 1 hg, 3 rg, and 2 mg. I’ve been wanting a wing gundam kit, but there are so many to choose from. What do you guys recommend? P.s. My girlfriend wants that sd wing gundam
I WANT ME AN SD! (hey that rhymed, huh) well anyways I was waiting for an HG or SD to be a prize since I saw the last episode and id love me some free Gundam kits! your gunplay how-to’s have also been super helpful, thnx guys and hope I win!
Not everyone would be willing to cough up a $100+ + shipping for, the most part, a toy. If you’re a serious builder, close to that sum would go to paints, custom parts etc. So I guess paying a ~$10 for a HG is much, much better investment imho for an average casual builder.
I got a hold of the Mineshima God Hand Ultimate Nippers (http://www.hlj.com/product/MNESPN-120/Sup) the other day, and after reading the manual online, realized I should probably get a set of Nipper Maintenance Oils (http://www.hlj.com/product/godnm-285/Sup) if I want it to last. However, I’m running into a problem I recall Syd mentioning in an earlier episode about shipping chemicals out of Japan. He mentioned that HLJ sometimes has problems with shipping certain items, and when they do, they have to provide the post office with a Material Safety Data Sheet for the shipment to be completed.
A friend of mine is trying to ship an oil set to me in the US from Japan, and the post office returned the package to him the next day. I did some research on the issue, and the only solution I could find was to try to get the MSDS from Mineshima and have my friend print it out and take it and the package to FedEx to ship it to me. Is there any other way you guys know of to get chemicals (specifically this oil set!) out of the country?
The Honoo is a pretty sweet looking kit. I haven’t transformed any of the kits I’ve built thus far… seems like more work than actually building them for some reason. Have you guys seen the picture of the R2-D2 fridge? Your next project maybe?
I still haven’t built an SD but looks like it be good to teach my little brother. And get him into gunpla. Know any good kits that are good to teach a young boy?
Sony has the rights to Robotech!? Would be better if it was the rights to Macross, so that we don’t have the bad story alterations, and unrelated anime forced into it.
I built my Gundam X a couple months ago, not originally liking the design, but it has grown on me a lot, and was a lot of fun to build, putting me on the fence of buying Gundam Double X when it comes out now!
I’m also really looking forward to the new RE/100 Gp04 Gerbera, hot damn that thing looks so beautiful. Do either of you plan on building it?
Wing Gundam Zero Honoo looks awesome. In my opinion it’s one of the best designs that th Gundam Build Fighters anime and manga series have given us. I just love how the clear orange pieces compliment the red plastic. When I get my Honoo I’m going to paint the undersides of the orange with gold paint to make it stand out more.
Can’t wait to get the R2-D2 model! I managed to initiate my girlfriend to Gunpla and she LOVES star wars, so that’s a kit she is looking forward for us to build together 🙂
Did my last comment get deleted? Weird, maybe the post didn’t go through. I don’t think I was breaking any rules.
Anyway, I asked for some tips on shipping Nipper Maintenance Oil (NM-285, which you guys have listed on HLJ) from Japan to the US. Syd mentioned dealing with shipping this sort of material and having to sometimes supply a Material Safety Data Sheet, so I was hoping for some guidance.
Honooes, I go to Vegas for a seminar and miss out on MG Wings. *cries* Maybe I can get the mini-Wing? Doesn’t seem like a MG Honoo is in our future based on the last Build Fighters MG line scarcity [sad panda].
Didn’t win Atmore core. Me sad.
But that double X is awesome. Already shipped out from…another store.
Looking forward to seeing it built.
Oh and thanks for not visiting Syd when you came to Canada. Haha. I was waiting all week. J/k.
Does anyone know what Syds wife looks like? Just curious.
I forgot to add. I bet she is very beautiful Syd. Nothing creepy just always wanted to know what your family looks like. But I know you keep your family life private which is good. Good for you!
Happy Easter to you both.
Another great episode. Damn, I need to practice my painting with more SD gunpla. I need an airbrush too. I was inspired by the amount of effort a model builder going by the name Gunpla Fixation on youtube put into a simple SD gundam and made it look outstanding. Shows how much improvement I need.
robotech and sony?! what could it mean?
i never watched robotech, but i’ve seen a handful of macross series and have been a fan of the valkyries ever since i first saw them; i think it’d be pretty epic to see sony bring them to life on the big screen.
speaking of valkyries, i couldn’t help but notice that bandai’s new dx chogokin vf-19 may be available on hlj when it releases later next month (‘if supplies are sufficient’). would it be possible for you guys to bring one on the show when they come in (like when the robot damashii kshatriya was released)?
Great show guys!
Planning to go up to Canada when i have the chance. Any recommendations for places to visit Syd? Hoping to win something this time hehe.
I could careless if I got one of the kits I just love watching the shows plus do you have any suggestions on how to paint a gundam kit to match the anime shows
Cool show, Wing variants all look great. Also loving the designs of thunderbolt series. Not really a star wars fan, but dang those play arts kai Boba Fett and more so the Stormtrooper are drool worthy, haha. Keep them kits coming.
Don’t know why but after watching this Episode I had an urge to break out my partially started MG Zaku II and strip off the paint and start again. Weird huh!!!
HOH-NOOOOoooo! Great episode guys! Can’t wait to get my hands on the Honoo and the RG Raiser! Thanks for the awesome show as always and keep up the great work!
I’ve been building nothing but Gundam kits and now I’m tempted by these Star Wars kits. Also looking forward to seeing the RG 00 Raiser and I hope I win that Zaku I Thunderbolt Ver. 😀
Hey guys my Honoo just arrived. When Im looking trough the promotion material it is advertised a 2 sword metalic wing and another head to this gunpla. I WANT IT SO BAD. But i cant find it anywhere. Are you guys going to sell it?
Hey there! This might be what you have in mind — http://hlj.com/product/HBJMAG1505/Boo
These were bonus items included with the May 2015 issue of Hobby Japan, but the magazine is unfortunately discontinued now.
If you meant something else, you might want to try asking around in the Groups here on hobbylink.tv! (We don’t always manage to take a look at all the comments on Gunpla TV, sorry!)
Syd returns after a couple of weeks off and is refreshed and ready to talk about all the Gundam that showed up while he was away and more that are coming in the near future. Ryan has some goodies of his own to […]
The very first kit I built with my sons was the SD version of the Wing Gundam. It’s a super cool kit! Now we’ve got the SD Unicorn Banshee, Titus, G-Self and Turn a kits to build. I’m sure my boys would love the MG Unicorn so here’s hoping! Great show guys and keep up the good work!
Welcome back Syd. Hope you weren’t stuck in the snow storm side of Canada.
Pre-ordered the HGBF Star Winning Gundam from you guys. Opening the box and finding out that it actually was able to transform like in the anime series was a total surprise. Got this to keep company with the Build Burning I got my 3 year old son. He’s quite hooked by the anime series.
Seeing one “in the flesh”, as it were, makes me like them a whole lot more than seeing pictures. I should have picked up that White Glint + VOB while I still had the chance…
Great to see you back Syd, glad you had a fun trip 😀 The Jizai Okimono Dragon looks fantastic, can’t wait to see what they decide to make next, awesome episode, awesome giveaways, can’t wait till next episode of Gunpla TV 😀
Heya guys, these past 4 days I did a gunpla/ gunplaTV marathon , 2x MG`s and 2x RG`s ,while watching ( well mostly listening) to the show from ep 1 to 169. Have to say ..you`ve come a long way, keep it up.
P.S Syd ,when was the last time that you did a run for a kit ? ( like with The O )
Another great episode Syd and Ryan! I’m such a big fan of Gundam Wing. I really hope I can win those Wing Gundams. Good to see you finally back Syd. Hope you had a good time back in Canada.(Also a fellow Canadian) Looking forward to see that Double X on the show.
Another great episode guys. I’m actually liking the Amored Core, the level of customization is great just like how it is in the games. Keep up the great work.
Great show, maybe do another armored core kit on the show. so glad they came out with gundam origins, the other 2 just didn’t cut it for me. Good looking mechs and a good story.
welcome back Syd! excited for my RG 00 Raiser pre-order and some Hobby Japan mags with bonus parts chillin’ in my private warehouse. i’m still waiting for the MG Jesta Cannon release… when Bandai? when??
They don’t have full inner frames, if that’s what you’re interested in. No inner frames, generally good parts separation, sometimes some very finicky construction. Not as easy as a typical MG, but definitely worth it. Judging by dalong pics, anyway. Haven’t actually built any myself. Shame.
I love Gundam (its basically all I talk about these days) but that Armored Core unit looks exotic and interesting. I couldn’t help but notice all the differences between it and Gundam kits.
Welcome back Syd, Lyndsy is a good fill in like to see the women into Modeling. I need the Wings to add to my collection. There was nothing wrong with SEED series it was my favorite but currently I love build fighters and hate G Reconquista its almost as bad as AGE. The Gundam designs Reek bad but I would love to see a Hollywood version of Gundam.
I love Gundam (its basically all I talk about these days) but that Armored Core unit looks exotic and interesting. It’s a rather interesting take on the mecha I’m used to seeing.
You guys are part of the reason I want to get into building Gundams. Living in the states we don’t have that much access to these kinds of models. I didn’t know they even existed until I saw a guy reviewing some products on youTube and he showcased one of his builds. Then I did some research, ran across hobbylinkTV on youTube and I was hooked. Thanks guys.
This hand of mine glows with an awesome power!
Its burning grip tells me to defeat you!
TAKE THIS!
MY LOVE, MY ANGER, AND ALL OF MY SORROW!
SHINING FINGER!
Great episode Syd and Ryan. I think its weird one thing we take for granted when we go abroad is food. I know when I took a trip to europe a few years ago I had cravings for Twisties (cheese flavored chips) and meat pies near the end of my trip ( and somehow didnt think about Tim tams too (soft chocolate sandwiched between chocolate biscuit topped with a light chocolate coating ) I’m sure Ryan can fill the details in for you)
welcome back ryan, you can keep the kits, just send me the chocolates :)) well i guess i aint that lucky when it comes to lottery, maybe next time. well my first kits was from the wing series, but purely knock-off and got a lot of issues regarding articulations, details, missing parts and the quality of plastic, it aint worth it.. so im wishing i could win this time around and let me get my hands on those 2 wing gundams.
What is the most over the top, insane, nearly impossible kitbash you could think of that you would do if you had the time, money and resources? As for me, I’d kitbash the Neo Zeong, the Dendrobium, the Nightingale and the Full Armor Unicorn to make a kit so huge that it would take four people to move it.
Great episode, thank god (gundam) Syd is back. The girls just can’t into fun like you two.
I’m looking forward to see the MG double x for ep 172 since X is my favorite gendum show. Also I hope I win the wing kits, I’m a plastic crack addict and I haven’t snorted nubs in a month now!
Great to see that you enjoyed your holiday, Syd. When is the next hobby expo that you guys will report on? I’m really keen to see more from that MG Hyaku-Shiki 2.0.
my two boys and i have gone abit beargguy mad recently buying up and building the different variations. need to start buying some different kits or the display cabinate is going to be full of teddy bears lol
welcome back my friend long time no see…please guys let me win this time.. i wactching gunpla tv every week every month n every year.. ooo yeah baebehhh…
Welcome back Syd! sounds like you had an awesome time back home! and as always another awesome episode of gunpla tv guys. was actually wondering if bandai would put out a green psychoframe version of the PG unicorn in the near future, or should i just buy the kit now and buy after market parts for the green psychoframe? any advice would be amazing! =) thanks
Welcome back Syd. Glad to hear you had a great time back home. No I know we didn’t have to miss you for nothing. LOL
And Mr.Big, a Sex and the City reference, haha. Or is it a candy made by Gunze…? Get it?
Anyway, ordered the MG Wing Custom and Deathsythe Hell, of course from HLJ (waiting to come in stock), but man, those two other Wing kits would go perfectly with them.
I want that sandwich too /cry anyways funny stuff ppl have a good one, Wing Gundams! ftw but if Santa Claus get into it that Honoo should be shipped too jajaja jking… kinda lol anyways nice stuff take care
My 8 year old loves building Kits with me. (Actually I’ve now been relegated to spectating his builds) he takes them in for show and tell at school. He’s trying to get the other kids building!
OHHHH, that armored core looks nicccceeee! that looks like it will be mine to own once my comment gets picked! Anyway, good show as always, but I was thinking maybe you should have the gals do more shows with you guys. Being that other members of your team no longer do videos anymore. How about giving the girls a spot on your show?
It feels really great to win in Eps 167!!! It’s the first good thing to me after I had an accident last Saturday and broke my car…But don’t worry, I wasn’t bad hurt. Thank you very much, Syd and Ryan! You have just truly consoled me…
Those Wing Gundam MGs would go well with my growing Wing section of my gunpla collection. Also, gotta love some Armored Core, can’t wait for the next installment.
I hope I win either of the prizes, I’ve always liked Armored Core designs and if I could get the two Wing models I could give it my brother, I remember growing up and seeing his Wing Gundam poster, plus he needs a breather after his break up with his fiance.
for the first time in a while …. I want to win both kits 😀 . thank you guys for introducing into the world of gunpla its been almost “more or less” a 100 episode since I saw you for the first time .
wow an armored core kit. and MG wing . i wish i win one of those . i loved the wing series when i was a kid and i played armored cored on psone.!!!!!!!!!!!!
Welcome back! Love the show, and can’t wait to get the Honoo. I’ve done all the MG versions of the Wing gundam as it was the first series I’ve ever watched. So any new forms of it is just great!
i saw that the wing fenice rinascita is getting a master grade release, and yet still no gouf r35 🙁 oh, well. gundam the end looks cool. it reminds of the deathscythe hell tv version.
hey Guys, great show as usual, It’s good to see Lynsey doing more building too!. Im Just finishing off a Frame Arms Zeflikar and would like your opinion on what Kit I should build next from that range.
Also, I’d love to win that Armored Core Kit. It looks awesome.
Speaking of Build Fighters, got the Try Burning, Star Winning and Lightning Full Bernern Gundams in HG recently, really enjoying them, but the Star Winning feels like it’s missing something… perhaps more effect parts and a better sword would improve it. I know it’s an SD, but come on, Fumina’s a main character, and one of the few female main characters to ever turn up in Gundam, she deserves a bit more.
Still building the Try Burning Gundam too, the sheer quantity of pieces makes it almost like a tiny MG rather than an HG.
Anyway, I know I picked Duo Maxwell for my icon, but if I win that Armored Core set, could you please give it to somebody else instead; I’m not a fan of the Armored Core series, and would much rather win the box of MG Gundam Wings (or if you can find it, that MG Deathscythe!). I know I want to win something, but if it’s something I’m not really into, I’d much rather pass it on and give someone who’s more interested a chance.
been waiting for new episodes. nice vids as always. hoping to win those wings. hoping if you could show some rc kits in the show.always want to do an rc kits especially by tamiya ones.
I’m interested in the price for the Tryon team kit and the release date of the same. It looks so out of the ordinary that it’s just right.
See you next time.
Hey guys! I’d love to win those Wing kits! I want to see if I can get my Wing Gundam ver.Ka to hold 2 rifles instead of just the one it comes with, but if I get the Armored Core kit I really wouldn’t complain either way
Welcome back Syd! I’m glad you had a fun time in Canada eating all your favorite eats! I’m loving all the new upcoming kits, especially the Wing Zero Honoo, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it next week! Just a quick question, didn’t you say a couple episodes ago that you were gonna give away the HG ZZ from the first couple episodes? I was just curious, as there’s a lot of nostalgic value in that kit and it’s understandable if you didn’t want to let it go just yet. As always, keep up the great work!
Can’t wait to get my hands on the HGUC V-Dash Gundam but now I’m really wanting to get these new Star Wars kits as well. Now please let me win that MG Wing Gundam box of goodies 🙂
Those wings look pretty awesome. Would be cool if I won one, wink wink nudge nudge. Plus would go with the fenice and honoo so I have a trio of wings 😀
Great show gal and guys!!
Welcome back Syd, glad you had a good time here in Canada!!!
Seems that Bandai will soon realese a Master Grade Mega-Shiki as well as other Mgs from the Build Fighters Try series. That will be awesome cuz some of the gundams from the series look fantastic and we need their Mg versions!!! Good day and all the best!!
Cool episode again. I cannot wait for the Hyaku Shiki, it is my favourite mobile suit. Always wanted a 2.0 for it and now it has happened, when I least expected it.
Great show guys! I have a little question to ask, what do you think would be the best colour for drybrushing a weathering effect onto white? I’m not sure whether to use silver, grey or black. Also, if I don’t win that Armored Core, I may cry a little.
Hi syd and ryan! I just recently got into gunpla through a friend and started building HG kits, I wish more 00 kits are available on hlj coz I ordered HG astraea type f 3 months ago through a friend and still no dice 🙁 anyways love the show! it would be bomb if I win those wing kits 😀
I think the reason SEED failed (in the US, anyway) is that the original Gundam series just finished airing on Cartoon Network, and SEED is nearly a one-for-one adaptation of 0079, just with characters who are far less likeable. However, the Strike and Blitz gundams are super sexy!
I’ve been watching these for ages, but I’ve never once entered the contest at the end, i have no idea why. But there is not time like the present to get in on the fun !!!!
Oh man Gundam Wing, that brings back memories. That anime, the english dub, was one of my first ever anime shows and my introduction into gundam. If I remember correctly one of my first kits ever was HG Sandrock Kai. Personally always preferred the Wing over Wing Zero.
msds? never mind the msds: SHIP the dangerous chemicals! i need paints!!! chemicals are love, chemicals are life….
annnnnnnnywhay,
hy. a. ku. shi. KIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!
BUT!… i must know about the gates. shiny plating and gates are not friends. so, just how well will bandai manage this issue with the new hyaku shiki 2.0? and then there’s another little possibility that has my curiosity piqued, as well. since this IS the hyaku shiki 2.0, will it also have the catapult base that was included with the 2.0 mark II & zeta?
i’ll be counting on you guys to show us what the deal is once it finally arrives at the warehouse! i can only pray that this kit truly is as good as it looks….
as always, thanks for bringing the gunpla goodness to my life guys!
I want those 2 WINGS!
Anyway, looking forward to see your review on the HGBF Wing Zero Honoo and most especially my favorite MG Double X.
Keep up the good work guys!
Welcome back syd. I noticed that your belly got bigger hahaha. SYD AND RYAN can you make a review of the honoo additional parts once it’s out? Anyways great episode as always and hopefully i’ll win a kit. *The MG Wings preferably* Random number generator I’m counting on you
I’d love me some Wing twins. I’m Ecstatic about the 2.0 Hyaku Shiki proportions though I wonder what type of hands it comes with? Personally I hope it’s the 3.0 hands.
Great show guys good to see Sid back. By the way those wind up figures are old. Nice to see they are bringing them back. As a side note Wing Gundam was my first ever Gunpla back in 1996. A 1/100 scale HG kit. I hope I win.
man, winning two wing mgs in one go would be cool. it’s good to see the squad back in action, although i hope anna and lindsay will continue to make appearances. what do you guys think of the mg wing fenice rinascita announcement?
I really want those Wing Gundams! I would have one for myself, and the other one could go to my cousin as a birthday gift! He loves the wing gundam, and has always wanted the gunpla form of it.
Welcome back, Syd. I hope you had a good break.
I noticed there is a recent figure line called Nxedge Style.
Do you mind talking about them in the show?
I never comment on this things because I never win when I participate, but, I really want that armored core kit, I’m a huge fan of the franchise and the kits (I have a love hate relationship with kotobukiya because they have discontinued some of my favorite armored core kits, like the ambient and the Noblesse Oblige) please Mr random generator, choose me, choose me!
Gundam Seed Destiny was a reboot of the second Gundam Series, the one I consider the best, Gundam Zeta. Just as Gundam Seed was a remake of the original Gundam series.
Glad your back Syd !
I too have watched all 170 episodes.
Being new to the hobby. I think it’s cool
Lots of good info and tips for all
Cheers SGT Spike
This is the first episode I’ve watched in a while. Going to have to binge the last episodes. Still can’t believe you guys aren’t done giving away the old stuff.
The funny thing about SEED Destiny is that while western fans tend to hate it, it seems to be one of the most popular Gundam series in Japan. That is why we still get so many kits from it.
Welcome back Syd! we missed you! The Gundam Honoo looks awesome!!!I want it but my wallet is experiencing a dry spell due to college expenses but hey you gotta do what you gotta do x) I hope to those Wing gundams.
nice video right there, i’ve been waiting for the review of the gundam wing zero honoo 🙂 and btw i hope i’m the who will win the wing master grade kits 🙂
I’d like to have those Winged Gundams please! thank you.:) Anyways, that HONOO IS OOOWWWSOME! But saying HONOO over and over again reminded me of HODOR. great episode! 🙂
You guys were talking about me on that episode. 40s, airbrush, backlog.. sounds familiar. Very fun show to watch. Hope to see you get back to building large kits soon. I really enjoy the build videos.
Yo Joe. I’ve been watching these guys since the beta episodes. Never missed an episodem. Commented on every episode. Did I ever win anything? Nooooo of course not. Why would i? I have THE worst luck ever. Though I would love to win that armored core figure.

I remember being introduced to gundam when me and my korean friend played Dynasty Warriors Gundam when i was in 2nd grade. I loved it so much that we couldn’t stop playing it. A few years later, i was searching about gundam on youtube and i found your channel. I watched through your videos and found out more about gunpla. I watched gundam build fighters and finally got my first gundam, the MG gundam build strike full package and i was so excited to build it. Its finished and posed on my shelf and i always look at it and admire it. The possibilities of me getting the 2 MG wing gundams are low, but i believe.

HI Syd and Ryan glad to see you back what a great episode have completed the the 1/60 Perfect Grade 00 Raiser and might get the 1/60 Perfect Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame for my birthday coming up soon and would like to say keep up the good work and shows
Bandai is really innovating their gunpla designs, hopefully we’ll see more, especially with the build figther series making it more relatable for the fans, great episode as always, thank you for your hard work.
DRAGON! If there’s one think I love about Japan it would have to be the Japanese Dragons that I’ve read about in Japanese myths and legends
Also Syd I just found out that you do a podcast on iTunes so I subscribed to it. And I also did my first panel wash last week(I’ll post pictures of that later)
Welcome back Syd!
Seed was fine, so was Destiny, but halfway through, the story fell apart.
I wish they would make a series out of Portrait of a Young Comet…

After hearing someone bragging about a back log of 35 kits, I went back and check my collection. Guess what! I have 86 kits in my back log, including 6 PG, 26 MG, 13 Zoids, etc…. Given my pending lost of financial freedom (aka marriage) later this year, this back log will have to last me for a long while (10+ years).
Welcome back Syd!!! I enjoyed watching your videos when I discovered it back in November and sometimes made a watching marathon to just keep up. Because of this, I was eager to buy my very first Gunpla, RG Destiny and appreciated the work I have done. My only question if you guys randomly picked this comment will be, “how did you feel when you first finished your gunpla or any kit of some sort?”
Awesome show! I actually just finished watching every episode of Gunpla TV (including all the specials, live streams, and complete builds) after starting it from episode 1, back in January. It was really cool to learn a lot about the history of the hobby as well as watch how it progressed and advanced over the past few years as documented by the show! You’ve done an excellent job on it so far and I look forward to continuing to watch Gunpla TV (and of course buy my kits from HLJ because honestly you guys have the best prices)! Thanks for making these awesome videos and keep up the great work!
PS- Syd, I know you don’t really watch the anime a whole lot, but have you seen or heard of “The 08th M.S. Team”? It’s probably one of the better Gundam series and the animation is awesome in it- you might want to check it out! It’s Gundam but with lots of guerrilla warfare in the jungle. (That was a bit punny…)
Armored Core or double MGs? It’s being asked whether I want chocolate or vanilla, and then after I decide I’m told it doesn’t matter anyway because I don’t have a choice BUT SHUT AND EAT YOUR MODEL KIT I MEAN ICE CREAM BECAUSE IT’S DELICIOUS.
The Denial looks pretty awesome, glad Bandai decided to make it. Dead End also looks sick. My poor wallet….. Yeah, the Reconguista series still hasn’t grown on me yet, I’m not really feeling the designs of the Mobile Suits.
I pre-ordered a copy Hobby Japan May 2015 with Wing Gundam Zero Honoo Custom Kit, it was originally set for a March 2015, but now appears to have slipped back to April. I really wanted to order two of them so I’d have a complete set of wings but ended up with one, will I still be able to order a second set when the magazine gets shipped to the warehouse?
Thanks! I’ve now selected the shipping method and was surprised to see how much it was (compared to my previous orders) but that’s because two copies of Hobby Japan are HEAVY!!
They should make like an assassin type gundam. Like make a gundam that has a sleek design and a full cloth cape or robe/ or cloth scarf with a copper wire in it. I would care how much it is I would buy it. If they get it right.
Syd its good to have you back cant wait to get the wing zero honoo for my wing zero collection next week and cant wait for the next gunpla tv episode ^_^
Hey guys, the very first Gundam kit I ever bought was a 1/100 No Grade Wing Gundam from Wal-Mart at least 15 years ago. Would be pretty cool if I won those Wing kits your giving away today…
As for the SEED series, not only did I hate the character designs and story line, I also hate very nearly every mobile suit that appeared in that show. Much like G Fighter, its like Bandai just said “Screw it, create whatever you want, just make sure you have 20 new suit designs on my desk by the end of the day.” If any Gundam show deserves to be remade, its the original series, not the train wreck that was SEED.
Welcome back Syd, glad you had a good time off visiting the great white north, A.
In the last episode, you guys talked about people’s Gunpla backlog. Since you haven’t had a Facebook competition in a while that might be fun. Show us your stack of Gunpla! Not sure what the reward would be as it does seem odd to give someone with a pile-o-stuff, more stuff, but I’m sure you’ll figure something out.
Lastly, aghhh, you now sell Vallejo paints, and can ship them. Shoot I just purchased a big restock of my paints and would have used HLJ if I had known. Sorry for not supporting you guys on that one. Next time.
Keep up the good work guys, looking forward to the next episode.
Dear Syd and Ryan,
Where do you get off? Giving away free models and providing an entertaining show..who do you think you are? By now you may have guessed that I am speaking ironically, and having nothing but good things to say about what you do. Syd and Ryan, don’t change a thing.
Signed Affattack, dictated but not read.
Always a breth of fresh air, when i watch gunpla tv. Just finished my z2. Sorry i havent ordered for a while guys, i work 2nd shift now so fed ex usually delivers when im not home. Cant wait for the new hg chars zaku.
