I'm a total sucker for grunt mobile suits. I was wondering, between the GN-X or the GN-X III which has better quality? go for the GN-X. the GN-X III is just of a recolor of the first one, with a new rifle and the lance beam rifle thing. the problem is that it was not recolored very well, so it is p...

It's strange, because i had completely opposite experience with this shop. Few months ago i was looking for couple of OOP bandai kits and found them all in tisinc99 shop.

Has any particular reason been given as to why the 00 Gundam and 0 Riser set costs 1000 yen more than each kit separately? Does it come with a CB action base or something? Or some extra accessories (I am oping for the long beam saber blades for the GN Sword IIs)? well the Riser set is 1600 by itsel...

i think most of the people here missed the point of the question. the METEORs are mounted on turrets, allowing them to rotate around a single axis. they wouldn't be used for propulsion, just quick maneuvering that involves the bow to be quickly be shifted in a different direction. go watch MS IGLOO,...

the best scale ships to match 1/144 and 1/200 gundams is 1/350. this is the largest of the two mainstream scales out there (the other is 1/700). without doing any calculations, a 1/350 scale carrier would be around 2 1/2 to 3 feet long, while something smaller like a destroyer would be around a foot...

no, the big hands hold the beam sabres fine, but are slight to long to properly hold the linear rifle, so it tends to flop a bit forward.

we'll, the 1/60th strike freedom isn't really a PG, just 1/60th scale. however it is nearly as complex due to the inner electrical system for the lights. personally, after 50+ gundam kits id still rather not do one of those due to the fact that im not an electrician. http://www.dalong.net/review/see...
