I saw your post on about the Gundam Exia Repair Metal Build. As someone else wrote it’s a pretty awesome thing to do but to make sure it goes smoothly I have a couple of suggestions. First would be to write the people who handle the retail orders at orders@hlj.com. In the past they have been able to stop the the automatic process […] View
Nice model. Too bad it violates the entry requirements and cannot be eligible for the competition as it was built for another purpose and can be seen on the internet.
We have a big episode for everyone showing new kits in different grades and talking a bit about handling those frame covers on the MG Psycho Zaku Ver. Ka Thunderbolt kit. We also talk about the just announced […]
The stand campaign is interesting, I might get one if I can. I’m very excited for the HG Atlas, it’s going to be awesome. I’ve always liked the MS and it’s certainly a unique design and has a lot of display options, super excited for it. I’m likely getting the new Origin because it has more stuff and I don’t have the old Origin yet, so this is a pick up for me. I’m also picking up the regular Char’s Zaku I. This one is more like the standard Zaku I and has a better colorscheme so i’m definitely getting this one. Not a big fan of the Lupus Rex, so I probably won’t get one. Bael on the other hand looks awesome, i’m very likely getting one. The new option set seems to be something I will get if only for the Landman Rodi, still nice to see conversion kits, these are sweet. The new Petit’gguy is interesting with it’s smaller teddy bear, so I can have some Bear-ception with the Beargguy F, which is nice! I’m very excited for the Amazing Strike Freedom, which is a shame that others don’t share my sentiment, because i’m a fan of how it looks, especially with that red frame. Super Fumina is a joke that still needs to die and me no gusta. MG Providence looks amazing and i’m super excited for it, it would look great with the freedom 2.0, don’t think i’m getting the limited version though. RG Astray Amatsu Mina has got me super hyped. RG Astray Red Frame one of the best looking kits out there IMO and this thing looks great as well, I need one. I’m a fan of Macross Delta so i’m definitely getting the new Draken III.
Not too interested in the Figure-Rise standard DBZ kits but my friends might be. I need a Rouei, I was a big fan of the MS and the Hyakuren was a nice little kit, so this has definitely got my attention. I wasn’t a huge fan of Helmwidge Reincar’s colorscheme at first but it grew, the mustard plastic is not that great looking though.
The BB Senshi Barbatos Lupus initially interested me, however seeing the Mobile Worker and Isarabi molded entirely in grey without any color at all turned me off, it was disappointing but eh, oh well. I’ve got the Robot Damashii GM Sniper II only a week before the MG was announced, so I unfortunately did not share the hype for the MG, but I still might get the White Dingo version, and the kit itself is quite impressive. I’m also definitely having the GM Ground Type, been waiting for the HG and Bandai finally delivered, and it doesn’t disappoint. Definitely getting this guy, he looks very good and it’s nice to see another MS get a new HGUC kit.
I want to have a complete collection of the IBO series but Astaroth is the only one I can’t get. I wish I could win this one. Seriously, IBO is the first series that really got me into Gunpla.
This sniper kit is really nice. I hope for the Red Astaroth.
Also a quastion.
Syd, what is your favorite grade of gunpla? I think that you have answer that before but I don’t remember. TNX!
roll on march atlas astray gold frame and providence oh yes. dam you randon number generator god. please guys is there any truth about bandai being able to sell star wars kits outside japan again soon
It’s IBO hype, hope to win any of the two Duke’s of hell… Nice episode, always love it if the episode is more than an hour, more content more gunpla… More power,
Hope I win!!!
I love the Astaroth, the assymetrical design I find really appealing and I love the sword. Still haven’t gotten my hands on the origin version because theres been so many kits, but I’d love to get my hands on one.
Can’t wait to see that Providence Gundam in action when it comes in and gets built.
I think my gunpla have started fighting each other.
I woke up this morning and my MG Zaku was mising an arm (it was on the floor, still holding it’s gun), my RG RX 78-2 had fallen over, my RG Zeta had dropped it’s beam rifle and my MG Wing ver. Ka had fallen off it’s action base…
Great long episode guys, great for listen while working on my entry. Todd, GM ground type’s abs joint was used on the HGUC RX 78-2 revive. Helmwige Reincar reminds me a bit of reinhardt from overwatch. It just need to replace that sword with a hammer. Hammer Down!
Great Video, i watch you guys on Youtube and then pop over here so I can maybe win some Astaroths! Also, time to save for March with so many cool releases.
Great episode. Not a SD collector but you guys manage to make even that interesting. GMs are always cool. Todd has a cool take on the kits….a nice counter to Syd. Great team. Thanks guys!
I actually heard people bashing on that new Fumina kit, as it looks a bit outrageous to them, haha. Personally, I’m just not in fond of the weird face, the Bust Fumina looks nice though imo.
BANDAI! I sincerely hope that the Woundwort gum candy figure isn’t another teaser with nothing to show for it. You and I both know that it’s one of the most popular MS designs out there still lacking a kit. Do us all a favour and work with Dengeki Hobby to get an actual kit made instead of forcing us to rely on fix-pose resin models!
Same here! I’ve been itchin to get that Woundwort Gundam kit,hope Bandai released her as HG 1/144 first before rising up to MG 1/100 soon because the resin kit version her is not pleasing enough for me!
the GM Sniper II is going to be a must buy for me.
Strange how you bring up Sephiroth. I’ve actually started to replay the original FFVII again on the PS1.
oh I almost forgot, how do we know that HLJ has successfully received our photos for the final entry? all I have as proof is a computer screen shot of the line “Your message was sent successfully. Thanks”, is it enough? thanks in advance.
great job guys, I’m looking forward to seeing all the competition winners.
I just had a few questions, you said that if your model looks too good for a beginner then you might get moved up to intermediate, I’m just wondering will you let someone know before the end of the competition for is this done when you are judging?
I would also like to know if there is a rule against using a logo from another franchise for example is I were to paint a super-man “S” on my shield would that be a problem?
Last thing have you ever had it where the person who wins the model give away doesn’t want it?
1. Can me and my wife both enter the competition (me in intermediate, she in beginner) as you know we are both fans of Gunpla and both build our own different kits?
2.We have two HLJ accounts, however both are named after her and me as a care of in the address section as she has more time to pick up the kits at our post office and in times she cannot, i do so… Is this okay?

The rules have been clarified to state clearly that the kit can be purchased from somewhere other than HLJ.com however you will need a customer account at HLJ.com in order to submit your final order and claim any prizes.

It looks like this episode features kits that can be built different ways. While we didn’t plan that when we prepared this episode we do think it’s kind of cool. Also, we clarify some rules for the Playing with […]
Thanks for clearing up the rules for the competition. one more question though. we can post progress of multiple kits, but only submit one as a final submission, correct?
I use YouTube to watch too o.ob I’m not sure if this is asked before but does top coating the kit for Playing with Plamo still place the kit in the beginner category?
On the topic of standing on plastic, one thing i can stand by (#lamepun) is the next worst thing than stepping on legoes is a gundam….
Was posing my Kyrios when it fell over when i turned to get some thing, took a step back and I hurt my very soul more than my foot. Needless to say its now ‘battle damaged’
P.S appreciate the clarification on the rules, now i can go ahead and order my kit.
New episode! I might go for the beginner category in the competition but I don’t think I have any ultra-impressive kits that would help me win. Oh well, the spirit is in entering. I’m thinking of getting an IBO kit so I can do my first detailing job with some gundam markers.
MG GM Sniper II got a lot of hype and it seems like a pretty great kit. Sadly though, I wasn’t part of that train, more in the salt train, because I had bought the Robot Damashii only a week before it’s announcement. Oh well, maybe i’ll get the P-Bandai White Dingo. I was interested in the Lupus DX until I found out the Isarabi and Mobile Worker were completely grey. That turned me off instantly unfortunately. The HG GM Ground Type is a must have though, I need that thing quickly.
Lunagazer doesn’t seem to be very popular, but rest assured it can get all the love it needs from me. Being the baby of the Stargazer and Hyaku Shiki, this kit is an instant must buy for me. Excited to get mine one day.
The Guncannon is also a must have for me, I love Guncannons and I love Origin kits, and this guy just looks sick. I might actually get 2 to have both of them on display! I love the way it looks and I love everything from the Origin line so far.
Honestly i’m not very interested in the Titanium Finish MG Unicorn. Even with the Twin Psychoframe, does not help the nubs and it just makes the kit more expensive than it already was. Wouldn’t mind building a christmas Unicorn if given the chance but i’m not going to buy this one intentionally.
Still not sure if I’m gonna enter the contest or not, I’ll decide when my current order from HLJ is gonna arrive. For now, I’m really unsure if I have the time or not.
And oh man! The Sahelanthropus as a give-a-way! Now that would be cool to display on the shelf!
Can I enter 2 or more categories? I want to do a kit bash and a straight build with paint so if possible I’d like to enter Beginner as well as intermediate.
Those nub marks X_X, bundai need to consider what kit to make a Titanium finish before making it. plus don’t we have enough unicorn gundam kits already, last time i counted we had 14 unicorn kit (not including banshi or phoenix).
not to complain. but there are other kits that could use a Titanium finish.
Thank you for the clarification on the PwP contest rules.
Quick follow-up question: my nephew and niece don’t have customer IDs. Would they be able to enter separately from me, or do they need to register and make their own purchases (with parental assistance)?
Can’t wait to get my GM Sniper!!!
Unicorn looks good but like you guys I prefer it in Unicorn mode so all the extra plastic for the physcho mode is a bit of a waste 🙁
Is using super glue okay for the gunpla and other plamos? Or is there a special kind of glue I have use for them? I use superglue to hold small parts and loose parts together.
TF Unicorn looks awesome, and I’ve been thinking of having my first PG as the Unicorn Gundam too. I also recently ordered the 1/100 and SD Barbatos Lupus from HLJ!
I wanna build the “white dingo” version of the MG GM sniper. Also a question can I enter a kit in the building with plamo that is out-of-stock on the site?
Thanks for the rule clarifications. That is what I thought the rules were, but the site stated that the kit had to be bought from HLJ. In either case, I am good.
For a HG, that GM ground type’s runners looks amazing, since there here are so many places for panel lining. I can’t wait to get mine in the mail this week.
Bandai has really stepped up their game recent years. Here are some of the things I noticed and liked:
1: New kits’ manual have both English and Japanese text.
2: Better gate placement, so numb marks are not too visible.
3: Using universalize poly-caps for the joints; great for easy kit bashing.
4: Almost a full inner frame for the HG IBO kits.
5: A higher degree of detail in the new HG kits.
6: HG Accelerate Evolution hints we might get a fully transformable HG Zeta Gundam. We have to see in April 2017.
All and all, it is a great time to be a gunpla fan!
Will this be the winning comment? I guess I’ll find out on the next episode. by the way That unicorn looks nice. I think it would look better with blue clear parts as far as the overall look with the titanium white body goes. The red just looks a little to “pinkish” for me. I know that this show is for gunplay(gundams), but maybe you could have a segment for Macross or other sci fi kits. Just a thought.
At first I liked the Lungazer + Stargazer backpack, but now that I’ve seen it in the vid…it feels like the backpack is a bit too high. Still great though.
Hey guys! Wondering if you are ever going to bring back de star wars kits in the show, since they are now available in the americas again! 😀 I’m sure that would push Ryan to come back from time to time hehehe
Playing with Plamo Question! Hey guys, after you post the WIP pics into whichever group you are entering, Where do you submit the “Final Entry”? Will there be another group for final submissions or do you post final submissions into the current WIP groups? Thanks.
Ahh, I get itchy just looking at those gate marks on the titanium finish.
Hopefully I’ll get my stuff together and start posting my entry for this year’s plamo contest.
Thumbs up for the gun cannon twins! really like the color scheme of the fire power/mobility! Man, that Unicorn looks awesome with the titanium finish but shame for not being under gated.
Metal gear shiney box yes please. Guys is there any truth to the rumours that bandai will soon be able to sell star wars kits outside japan again soon ??
Damn, that finish looks awesome, especially on the head. Just sent out a big order from HLJ, including the Sniper, HG Origin Char’s Zaku II, and the MG Unicorn OVA Ver. I’ve been wanting it for so long, can’t wait!
Now that is one pretty Unicorn kit. I have to admit that those Origin kits are getting better and better. I just want to see more MGs from the series! The sniper also makes me super happy – since I enjoy mostly grunt suits and exclusively Common Era time-line kits (the original time-line). Yep I am that old!
Hi Guys!
The Titanium Unicorn looks great and is something I hope to get. Also,that MG GM Sniper would look good painted in some custom colours.
But after watching Todd’s presentation I think the best HG kit there was that Stargazer. Guess some old kits are still good-looking.
Hi Syd and Tod, could you talk about the new Star Wars Bandai kits?
I know that HLJ can not sell them outside of Japan but they still arouse great interest.
I have a question, but not exactly related to this episode.
In December 2015 there was some announcement about RE/100 Kshatriya kit.
Do you have any info about this release?
BTW. I prefer watching episode here, because you see all those pictures of the kits.
PS. Man, that Sahelanthropus is awesome. It will look good next to my Rex 😉
I always have wonder … Why does the Gunpla boxes don’t have any seal or plastic to secure the contents? Amazingly I have never received a Gunpla box with missing contents even when they have traveled across the world. Is there some Bandai magic that keeps the content all together?
I remember my old Revell kits having protective plastic on the outside box but not my Gunpla kits.
Is that unicorn panel-lined or not? Is it because of the titanium finish which gives it a panel-lined look? By the way, those Guncannons sure looks great.
That Stargazer is an oldie but still a goodie. (Also such a good-looking design on its own, and way more inspirational than Gundam typically is. The name, the story, “Voiture Lumiere”… I love this mobile suit so much.)
Thank you guys for another good episode 🙂
Just for my inquiry ,until now, how many unicorn MG that released by Bandai (including Banshee because used almost same frame)?
shame the lunergazer doesn’t com with all the parts for the hyaku shiki. if it did I would buy it and build it with the hyaku shiki parts to make the byaku shiki. heck bandai could have advertised that in a similar way to the gun-cannon twin set with the whole “one kit two, options gimmick” tube
Syd,Todd what grunt suits would u like to see bandai do a kit of that hasnt got akit since the 80’s or never did. Id like a Hg galbaldy beta from zeta, and hg Mobile dinn from seed.
I would have done a ship kit (U.S.S. Enterprise CV-6) for the contest but unfortunately, I started the build on it before I found out about the contest.
Whilst there seems to be some silly rule about staff not being able to enter or some such, I’m sure we’d be interested to see what you would build if you could. Or just build along with us just for the fun of it.
So we could see what you guys are like…the prize could be – time off/kudos/maybe other colleagues have to make your lunch I dunno…I for one would keep an eye on a that.
Could be a customers vote too would be super funny
We’ve been hinting at this for some time and we’ve put the finishing touches and it’s ready to go. HobbyLink.TV’s Playing With Plamo 2017 Modeling Competition is now open.
A quick question. Couldnt find it in the rules (looks like you guys even didnt add the requirement about the unopened kit like last competition) but is it ok to make a kit (orginal unopened one) using canibalised parts of other kit. Im my example. The model will be MS-06E3(unopened kit) and the part provider (joints and some parts to fix proportions of the kit) will be MS-06FS. Will it still be eligible?
Just a few questions though, would a kit received in the /r/Gunpla Secret Santa be eligible (It’s a Barbatos Lupus so there’s no doubt you guys sell it), and would sending WIP pictures to a gunpla chat in Telegram foul the no external posting rule?
Ouch I don’t have credit cards, so I buy kits from a guy who often order large amount of kits from hlj to sell to the locals. How can I prove the origin of my kit?
This is really cool. I just got one of my boxes from HLJ (after about 5 weeks in shipping, still waiting for another) I might use one of the two kits, probably the MG RGM Custom.
I am waiting for anew competition for years and now I figured, that I have no kit. The last unbuilt mayor kit from HLJ was my five star stories mortarhead and I started building it last weekend… Tough luck with that. I only have a V2 on its way since e few weeks, that might be in time. But I like it how it is. Sure my warehouse has a couple of kits, waiting to be shiped, but I had to use express shipment to be in time and that doubles my costs for them… argh.. have to sleep over this problem.
I’ve got a large number of planned projects, and this competition gives me a reason to start one. I’ve got a few questions:
First: Does it need to be a single model kit, or can a diorama with a few models be acceptable?
Second: I’m attempting to create a YouTube channel for my work. I’ll be taking video of the progress on this project. Do I need to wait until the competition is over to post any associated WIP videos, or does HLJ want some free advertising while I’m working on it?
I’m Excited! Like I said, my backlog is pretty enormous at the moment, and this does give me an excuse to actually move forward with one of my many plans. More often than not, these same plans prevent me from actually building the kits, as I don’t have much free time to work on them.
I am very happy HLJ is doing the competition again. It was a great experience last time round. I wish everyone the best of luck and can’t wait to see your work.
If I may add a small critique. I wish you had not done the competition in this period of the year. This is study time in the northern hemisphere and April/May is exam time! Some of us who work and study are going to find ‘finding time’ very difficult. I think something like this would have been better served if done during the summer time.
Also, I wish next time round, you pre-inform us when the opening dates for submission will be at least a month in advance. This way we will have some a grace period to think what we want to build and have enough time to order the parts/kits without loosing time.
At this point I do not know if I will manage to finish a good project in time working only few hours over the weekend. I don’t want to rush my work like I did last time round and end up regretting it.
I still have not decided what to do, but I will still be more than happy to watch others work on their projects.
Once again good luck to one and all and a big thank you to HLJ for hosting the competition.
I thought that Sid said threat they just have to stock the kit at hlj not necessarily have bought it from them??? I’m not sure does any one want to clarify this conundrum.
Not don’t think so, u just have to make sure you make the kit for hobbylinkjapan only. That mean they can’t been any photo or video of the kit your building anywhere online it must be on hobby link Japan.tv
Please I would like to know why are only kits purchased on hlj.com allowed in the competition? I buy my kits from all over the place and I have used hlj.com and many others for many many years. I do not know why this is a rule now.
I believe this limits everyone’s creativity. Because I feel like my ability to express myself with Bandai’s Gundam, or Kotobukiya, or Tamiya kits are really limiting. I would prefer to have a wider range of models to choose from.
The rules have been clarified to state clearly that the kit can be purchased from somewhere other than HLJ.com however you will need a customer account at HLJ.com in order to submit your final order and claim any prizes.
HobbyLink Japan has a huge range of models. I don’t think it’s fair to say that people’s creativity is being stifled by asking that they use models that were/are available for sale through hlj.com
Thank you Syd. I did not mean to come off as arrogant as it might have sounded. I highly and greatly appreciate it. I have been a long time HobbyLink Japan customer. Do not take my comments as being ungrateful for the opportunity and the experience that this competition offers.
I was expressing frustrations over what I believed to be mixed up rules. I am sorry. Please do not hold that against me. I am having trouble deciphering and understanding the rules is all. I not only have HLJ models I would be able and willing to use. I am just looking and trying to do something different.

Hello Hlj, and Master Syd
I have a few model and i already submit one model to this competition, my question can I submit more then one model, ths
Minarto Minarto_kwok@indo.net.id
That Barbatos Lupus Rex look awesome
That astaroth origin would be nice. I always like the way you guys go over multiple kits each episode.
at times i like solid kits, at times i like flashy kits, guess the only solution is to buy them all
Putting all the weapons on the ship is so dumb but amazing at the same time. They really made the most out of what they could fit in that one package.
New episode means new fun!
The stand campaign is interesting, I might get one if I can. I’m very excited for the HG Atlas, it’s going to be awesome. I’ve always liked the MS and it’s certainly a unique design and has a lot of display options, super excited for it. I’m likely getting the new Origin because it has more stuff and I don’t have the old Origin yet, so this is a pick up for me. I’m also picking up the regular Char’s Zaku I. This one is more like the standard Zaku I and has a better colorscheme so i’m definitely getting this one. Not a big fan of the Lupus Rex, so I probably won’t get one. Bael on the other hand looks awesome, i’m very likely getting one. The new option set seems to be something I will get if only for the Landman Rodi, still nice to see conversion kits, these are sweet. The new Petit’gguy is interesting with it’s smaller teddy bear, so I can have some Bear-ception with the Beargguy F, which is nice! I’m very excited for the Amazing Strike Freedom, which is a shame that others don’t share my sentiment, because i’m a fan of how it looks, especially with that red frame. Super Fumina is a joke that still needs to die and me no gusta. MG Providence looks amazing and i’m super excited for it, it would look great with the freedom 2.0, don’t think i’m getting the limited version though. RG Astray Amatsu Mina has got me super hyped. RG Astray Red Frame one of the best looking kits out there IMO and this thing looks great as well, I need one. I’m a fan of Macross Delta so i’m definitely getting the new Draken III.
Not too interested in the Figure-Rise standard DBZ kits but my friends might be. I need a Rouei, I was a big fan of the MS and the Hyakuren was a nice little kit, so this has definitely got my attention. I wasn’t a huge fan of Helmwidge Reincar’s colorscheme at first but it grew, the mustard plastic is not that great looking though.
The BB Senshi Barbatos Lupus initially interested me, however seeing the Mobile Worker and Isarabi molded entirely in grey without any color at all turned me off, it was disappointing but eh, oh well. I’ve got the Robot Damashii GM Sniper II only a week before the MG was announced, so I unfortunately did not share the hype for the MG, but I still might get the White Dingo version, and the kit itself is quite impressive. I’m also definitely having the GM Ground Type, been waiting for the HG and Bandai finally delivered, and it doesn’t disappoint. Definitely getting this guy, he looks very good and it’s nice to see another MS get a new HGUC kit.
If I won that Astaroth I would be compelled to buy a second one to make them symmetrical, fingers crossed for the Origin form then.
finally, new episode! that was a lot of stuff covered in this episode. awesome job guys. now, can i have the 2 astaroths, please? xD
I want to have a complete collection of the IBO series but Astaroth is the only one I can’t get. I wish I could win this one. Seriously, IBO is the first series that really got me into Gunpla.
Can’t wait to buy the GM Sniper 2. Really great looking kit. And of course wouldnt mind winning those astaroths!
damn nice episode again, XD a good watch while building the kit for the competition
nice ep loving that gm sniper would like to win
I need the Astaroth Origin so bad
Gundam sephirotthhh!!
Oh the nostalgia! This episode made me want to watch MS 08th Team all over again. Long live the Universal Century!
tried to buy those 2 kit. but sold out :/
This sniper kit is really nice. I hope for the Red Astaroth.
Also a quastion.
Syd, what is your favorite grade of gunpla? I think that you have answer that before but I don’t remember. TNX!
That red asteroth tho ,its finished in my area
SEPHIROTH.
cant wait for the Barbatos Lupus Rex, or lets just say… the B-REX..
Great episode guys, the new IBO kits coming soon look great, tough choice to decide to get IBO or thunder bolt kit.
give me my astaroth
Love the new kits 🙂
Maybe one day Todd will get a promotion, and then he will get build the cooler HG kit. But not today.
Also, one of the shoulders on the SD Barbatos Lupus is upside-down. Whoops.
That GM Sniper looks tasty. Not so sure about those colors though…
I could use a spare asteroth
That GM Sniper is really crying out to be modified heavily. I’d love to get one of these.
roll on march atlas astray gold frame and providence oh yes. dam you randon number generator god. please guys is there any truth about bandai being able to sell star wars kits outside japan again soon
Thank you Gunpla TV, you guys are the best.
It’s IBO hype, hope to win any of the two Duke’s of hell… Nice episode, always love it if the episode is more than an hour, more content more gunpla… More power,
Hope I win!!!
Thank you Gunpla TV, you guys are the best.
I love the Astaroth, the assymetrical design I find really appealing and I love the sword. Still haven’t gotten my hands on the origin version because theres been so many kits, but I’d love to get my hands on one.
Can’t wait to see that Providence Gundam in action when it comes in and gets built.
Wow so many gunplas this March and 2 IBO giveaway. Great episode!
Trying to win again. Not a great comment but…you know…i just want to win!
I like variation IBO kits.
Ooohhh Bael Is Coming
i would love to have my very first IBO Gumpla, as much as it bould be Astaroth. that left arm is sexy as super fumina
Thanks for the tutorial. Don’t have that kit, but good to know more techniques.
I think my gunpla have started fighting each other.
I woke up this morning and my MG Zaku was mising an arm (it was on the floor, still holding it’s gun), my RG RX 78-2 had fallen over, my RG Zeta had dropped it’s beam rifle and my MG Wing ver. Ka had fallen off it’s action base…
Great show guys! Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the episode gunpla tv! May you always build
Great long episode guys, great for listen while working on my entry. Todd, GM ground type’s abs joint was used on the HGUC RX 78-2 revive. Helmwige Reincar reminds me a bit of reinhardt from overwatch. It just need to replace that sword with a hammer. Hammer Down!
My body wants that Astaroth.
GN Sniper seems so cool. not sure if I like the color scheme tho
Great Video, i watch you guys on Youtube and then pop over here so I can maybe win some Astaroths! Also, time to save for March with so many cool releases.
Welp time to not win another HlJ giveaway.
dat sniper! The detail from your tutorial was incredible. hope to win this year!
Thank you for the prize.
Great episode. Not a SD collector but you guys manage to make even that interesting. GMs are always cool. Todd has a cool take on the kits….a nice counter to Syd. Great team. Thanks guys!
RG Amatsu Mina?!? I hope someday there will be an MG version, since the only 1/100 is NG.
Oh RNGesus. Bless me like a “asteroid” hitting “gaia.
I am looking forward to getting my hands on the gm sniper 2
Astaroth Origin, please. And please ensure all parts are functional so I can repair that damage. Need that Sarge Special.
I actually heard people bashing on that new Fumina kit, as it looks a bit outrageous to them, haha. Personally, I’m just not in fond of the weird face, the Bust Fumina looks nice though imo.
I wouldn’t mind having a third Astoroth
Been awhile since I’ve seen one of the giveaways i was interested in…lets give it a shot.
I would like an Astaroth. Thank you!
BANDAI! I sincerely hope that the Woundwort gum candy figure isn’t another teaser with nothing to show for it. You and I both know that it’s one of the most popular MS designs out there still lacking a kit. Do us all a favour and work with Dengeki Hobby to get an actual kit made instead of forcing us to rely on fix-pose resin models!
Same here! I’ve been itchin to get that Woundwort Gundam kit,hope Bandai released her as HG 1/144 first before rising up to MG 1/100 soon because the resin kit version her is not pleasing enough for me!
The build strike didn’t really catch my attention BUT that new Astray is looking like a MUST buy. 0.0
I wish i had more time to build Gunpla…University take all my time!
Love that Helmwige Reincar! can’t blame Sid for taking it for himself, definitely gonna get one myself when I get the chance 🙂
I was never a fan of the designs of the UC Federation grunt suits, but that GM ground type looks really cool!
MG N-666 Kshatriya when?
Keep the cool reviews! Hope to win 🙂
ASTAROTHCEPTION
the GM Sniper II is going to be a must buy for me.
Strange how you bring up Sephiroth. I’ve actually started to replay the original FFVII again on the PS1.
The Astaroth kits look pretty cool.
Thanks for the shout out guys that really took me by surprise ha ha.
Loving the new Barbatos Lupus Rex, will definitely be getting one soon !
Ooh Astaroth Origin….
i want the gunpla girls doing a review of the puchi-puchi guy.
Very nice! I like Astaroth, the Origin version is so much better, though.
I like both versions of the Astaroth. Would be nice to have them both. Also that GM Sniper looks amazing!
GM Sniper for the win
nice show guys. 🙂
Sweet! 2 Astaroths. Btw Todd placed one of the shoulder armour on Barbatos Lupus wrong lol.
newbie at plamo here. .but i find it interesting. .so very informative video. .tnx guys
looking forward to Barbatos lupus Rex review.
oh I almost forgot, how do we know that HLJ has successfully received our photos for the final entry? all I have as proof is a computer screen shot of the line “Your message was sent successfully. Thanks”, is it enough? thanks in advance.
Cool
I like to win one of the Astaroth.
Super Fumina!
great job guys, I’m looking forward to seeing all the competition winners.
I just had a few questions, you said that if your model looks too good for a beginner then you might get moved up to intermediate, I’m just wondering will you let someone know before the end of the competition for is this done when you are judging?
I would also like to know if there is a rule against using a logo from another franchise for example is I were to paint a super-man “S” on my shield would that be a problem?
Last thing have you ever had it where the person who wins the model give away doesn’t want it?
It’s the year of the GM!
Both of the Gundam Astaroth looks nice, but I prefer the red one.
the astaroth origin will be mine ,all mine!!!!
Pick meeeere
The SD DX Isaribi looks cute. they gave a free Barbatos with it how cool Bandai is that from giving us a free Barbatos
love when they made a long episode.
I really want to see a Sephiroth inspired Astaroth now.
Astaroth! Have the blue one already, please let me win the red one.
Astaroth!
GIVE ME ASTAROTH NOW OR YOU DIE!!!
I want it!
the 1/144 HG Helmwige Reincar looks kind of ugly, but at least it has a big sword which makes it automatically cool in my books.
Astaroth and its Origin form, pretty much like Two-Face looking at himself on a mirror.
UC Line best line ever. 🙂 I am kinda new to this site (just discovered it) It is cool that we now have a facebook-esque site for Plamo Builders.
Also, question… can we use pla plates in the intermediate category?
I was suprised how small the gm snipers box was
Sorry if asked before
Hello HLJ and Master Syd.
So yeah… a couple of questions:
1. Can me and my wife both enter the competition (me in intermediate, she in beginner) as you know we are both fans of Gunpla and both build our own different kits?
2.We have two HLJ accounts, however both are named after her and me as a care of in the address section as she has more time to pick up the kits at our post office and in times she cannot, i do so… Is this okay?
Thanks for the response
Great Video! Can’t wait for the master grade Providence Gundam but still waiting for the master grade Legend Gundam.
Loved the episode, guys! Trying to plan my next HLJ order soon!
Thanks for the tutorial, it really helped ^_^
I wish the prize was a KOS-MOS version 4 figure, but any figure of her is more than welcome.
