Good question. Bandai usually only gives restock schedules a couple months ahead of time. If we know the month it’s coming back we put that in the item status on the webpage. If you see something listed as Backordered on the site without any date it means Bandai hasn’t given us a date on that item yet.
Put it through google translate. Some translations are way off but you can figure out what kit it is. Also its grouped by genre (in one place all HGUC, other HGBF, RG, MG, PG and other bandai kits from diffrent series) so its easy to look at.
Just finished the mc sd hi nu it was a good little build and a whole lot more detailed than bandai sd hi nu plus it had like 12 sprues about 3 times the bandai hi nu, I guess now its time for the mg ver ka sitting in the box on my self
Yes it’s nice and smooth and not to thin you have to press harder than bandai to get the pieces together but it was better than I expected other knockoffs I’ve done before have a grainy look to the plastic but this kit was good and I just got the model comprehend hg XI gundam and the plastic looks really good on it too ,I haven’t put it together…[Read more]
Hi @syd you guys are so cool haven’t missed a episode yet i’m the only Gunpla Builder in my home town of laudium and I was born with only one hand but that wont stop me
Hi @ryan ..Just a quick suggestion..could I suggest that hlj.com add a wishlist option since sometimes when I’m browsing thru hlj.com I find things I wanted to buy but have to wait for payday…if the option exist I can always remember things I wanted to buy.thanks
You’re not the first person to request this. In one of the episodes they say that they are working on it, but had to resolve some other issues on the site first. Have to admit, this was almost a year back..
In the meantime, there is something out there that may help you in the meantime. It’s called a piece of paper and a pen… 😛
Just finished my first Diorama! Master Grade RB 79 Ver Ka as Construction Pod. I wanted to portray it in a sort of repair situation with the beautiful inner frame exposed….
Very nicely done! Love the weathering on the ball. Even the thrusters are beautifully weathered. If I may ask, how did you perform the paint chipping? Is it done using the hairspray technique or using a sponge? It looks really realistic. Again, great build!
Thanks! The chipping is grey painted on top of the base yellow with a torn section of dish sponge; the yellow portion of those ubiquitous yellow/green scrub ones. I then in-painted on some of the chips with a metallic color to give them a bit of depth.
I wanted to use the hairspray method, but my testing did not go well, so I went with my…[Read more]
I use Vallejo air for most of my projects and I find they generally don’t need thinning. If they do, I stick with the Vallejo thinner. I’ve tried isopropyl and the Tamiya thinner, but they turn the Vallejo into a clumpy mess. Something about the chemistry just does not mix.
With that said, I’ve never seen this ‘Metal Medium’ before. How’s it…[Read more]
Hi, I use Vallejo Model Air because I’m a beginner and you can use them without thinning (well.. almost all of them but not all).
When I have to thin i always use Vallejo Airbrush thinner (i tend to follow the rule: same brand for combinations).
The metal medium is used to give metal shine to a given color. Instructions says 50% color and 50%…[Read more]
Last month, after attending the All Japan Model Hobby Show in Tokyo, the event venue was Tokyo Big Sight, which is in the area near Diver City, home to Gundam Front Tokyo. This is where the life-size Gundam is! It used to be located at Higashi Shizuoka Station, but was moved to Odaiba just before I moved to Shizuoka Prefecture nearly three years…[Read more]

Hi @syd Thanks
Just check http://bandai-hobby.net/site/schedule_images/nouhin.pdf
They change it usually around 1 or 2nd each month. The blue one is release or rerelase date in that month.
Hi thanks but I can’t read Japanese
