Endless Waltz version

I know my question might sound ridiculous because the Gundam Wing series has been around for 15 years and the recent MG model kits came out a while now, but I'm aching to understand: what is the story behind the "Endless Waltz version" of the Gundam Wing machines? Why is Bandai releasing t...

Re: Question about PG strike gundam GATX-105

I built the PG Strike Rouge a few years ago. It's a very solid kit and doesn't have any quirks as far as I can see. There aren't any weight issues like the 00 Raiser, even with the Aile Striker pack attached. There aren't any loose parts either and it holds many (if not any) poses well... especially...

Re: First Perfect Grade?

I sure wished they'd release a PG version of the Freedom Gundam... Considering that the Freedom appeared in more episodes than the Strike Freedom (and appeared over the course of TWO series), I'm surprised the latter is considered more popular than its predecessor in Japan. Maybe it's because of the...

Re: First Perfect Grade?

It'd be pretty surprising if Bandai did actually release a PG GM. Though we've had a pretty decent number of releases in the last couple of years (Astray Red Frame, 00 Raiser, Strike Freedom), let's not forget that the PG line was once put on hiatus a few years back. Bandai seems more like they're r...

Re: Upcoming Models, Merch, & Rumors X

There should have been all the Gundams in 1/100 plus a trans-am recolor of Qant at least by now. This is bandai after all. And UC series haven't had a non-MG 1/100 treatment in years. I just don't see what the problem with this is. non-MG 1/00's tend to cut all kinds of corners. Why worry about the...

Re: How are the Gundam 00 Novelizations?

I don't know if you're talking about the novel adaptation of the series or the "spin-offs" like 00P, 00V, etc. If it's the novel adaptations, I have those that come bundled with the DVD Special Editions. Though I haven't read them cover to cover yet, I've skimmed a few and don't think they...

Re: 00 movie Gundams in 1/100?

don't forget Dynames Repair and Setsuna's Flag too 8) I think that if Bandai is willing to continue the 1/144 Gundam 00 movie line, they'll probably release the Seravee II and GN-XIV next... For some reason, the GN-X line is very popular with Bandai; they had the original GN-X released as a Master ...

Re: The 00 Gundam Model Kits

Yeah, every kit will have its flaws, but you just have to decide what's best for you :) There's a Seven Swords conversion kit available if you're interested however: http://tatsuhobby.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_29&products_id=380 Although I'm unsure if that's the ...

Re: The 00 Gundam Model Kits

I have both the NG 1/100 and PG 1/60 00 Raiser and they all have their pros and cons that make the decision of choosing one or the other very difficult. PG 1/60 00 Raiser Pros: - Very detailed (though less detailed IMHO than previous PGs like the Strike Gundam) - GN Sword II and III all included (an...

00 movie Gundams in 1/100?

Hi everyone, I'm usually a fan of 1/100 and 1/60 scale model kits... I mostly have all the 1/100 (NG and MG) SEED and 00 kits, and the last few PG 1/60 kits too (Strike, Strike Rouge, 00 Raiser). That being said, having seen the Gundam 00 movie recently, I'm wondering if the HG 1/144 kits of the new...

Re: Gunpla store in taiwan airport?

Well, I went back to the Taiwan airport and re-checked the stores, but I couldn't find any Gunpla. However, the game store that had the human-size Force Impulse Gundam had a Hot Toys Iron Man Battle Damaged mark III which wasn't there 2 weeks ago, so I'm guessing that they probably had Gunplas befor...

Gunpla store in taiwan airport?

Hi, I'm leaving Cambodia en route for home in a few days and I'm passing through the Taiwan airport for a couple of hours. I read somewhere that there's a store that sells Gunpla in the airport... However, the last time I was there, all I remember was a game store that had a replica of the Force Imp...

Re: PERFECT GRADE WISH LIST

As a fan of lead Gundams, PG Exia would definitely be on my wishlist. Just like the PG Astray Red Frame (a melee-oriented mobile suit) is derived from the design of the PG Strike, I think it's not impossible to see Exia derived from PG 00 Gundam's design. The big hole in the 00's chest would seem to...

Master Grade boxart as wallpaper

Sorry if this has been asked before or if it's in the wrong category, but I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find large scans of MG boxarts that can be used as Windows wallpaper? I'm especially looking for the recent SEED and 00 releases like the Strike Noir and regular Exia.

Re: MG Gundam mark II and Zeta 2.0 - HD or regular version?

The decals are not much of a selling point for me because I don't like to apply them all that much. Like rrobert184 (for those who watch his YouTube reviews), I'm also a bit lazy to paint, so I prefer to have model kits that are already color accurate to the anime once assembled.
