i was debating if i'll get this one, so i just wanted to ask how is the Green Frame compared to the other Astrays in the HG 1/144 line? is it worth the money (especially with that combined weapon it has)?firefox wrote:this year i haven't bought alot of gundams, so far:

I'll join in the fray on this,
2008's been kinda slow for me so for but I've bought:
MG S Gundam (Behold, the first anatomically correct Gundam! ...I laughed HARD when I saw how the lower cockpit...umm...extends)
MG Qubeley Mk.II
MG Haman's Qubeley (scored this one for $22 US
I do plan on getting the MG Force Impulse, and MG Gundam 2.0 when they eventually come out, but I'm still on the fence about the MG Shin Musha and MG Launcher/Sword Strike...I just can't bring myself to get yet ANOTHER Strike variant. Whenev the MG Exia releases is a done deal too in my book.

For the Launcher/Sword look at it like this:
There's nothing left for the standard Strike. No more varients of it after this. Besides... it completes my collection of Strike kits.
Now the Strike-E is a different story, especially since it's already released a kit from Frame Astrays and it seems people want an E Sword/Launcher type.. so there are at least 2 more versions on that Kit that could be coming out.

Here's a crazy idea:
Assuming the new MG Strikes are the same as the old version, simply wait for manual scans to pop up, find the runners that contain the sword & launcher packs and order them separately through HLJ.
Viola! One MG Strike with all 3 packs (4 if you have the IWSP) for half the price and triple the waiting time!

IMO, you'd save more if you buy the entire kit... Then either mod the parts you don't want or sell them (provided you don't touch them at all, you might end up getting a lot of revenue out of them).
As a modeler and a completionist (ouch), it isn't a good idea.Viola! One MG Strike with all 3 packs (4 if you have the IWSP)
*cough*Lightning Strike*cough*There's nothing left for the standard Strike.
Ehhh.. true I guess.. but when I think of the Strike, I think Aile, Sword, Launcher, and because of the MG, the IWSP versions. I'm not a big fan of the lightening striker anyway so I suppose that's another reason I don't think of lightening.
Anyway back on topic, I forgot to add in that I'll be getting the HCM pro Deathsycthe.

this year I've finished the 1/144 graham's custom flag, done the astrea (f type) conversion for the 1/144 exia. i've built the MG unicorn gundam, and am working on the F91. I've bought the hcm pro Tieran as well as the Msia Hazel custom. and now today...proving that there is no hope for me...i bought the softbank Char type cell phone.

Today I finally got the FG Exia that comes with my 00 DS game and I might build it this weekend. Expect an MAHQ review in the future.

Yay! These just came in the mail:
Revoltech Getter 1 and movie version Ingram 1. Both qualified for a Japan Mini toy so I ended up getting Johnny Ridden's Gelgoog.
I ordered both from Yes Asia
