Gunpla/Plamo General: I'm not a Shitposting Faggot Edition

== ACE PILOT GROUP BUILD ==

Starting September 1st, you have two months to build, customize, and paint a mobile suit of your choice into your own personal design. This can range from just a repainted Zaku to a kitbashed Gundam loaded with any spare rifles and Rocket Launchers you can find. Any suit from any series is fair game, just stick to 1/144 kits and you're good. When you're done feel free to post it in the thread, but also send pics to [email protected] so that all the entries can be judged/posted at once when the group build is over (If you don't want to be judged for the contest just feel free to mention it when you send in your pics).

Prizes include:
>1st Place: Any HG kit under $25 + an Action Base 2
>2nd Place: Any HG kit under $15
>3rd Place: An Action Base 2
(Note: Shipping is to USA and Canada only)

Group build ends on October 31st, lets gunpla!

So I came across this at gcon I'm not sure how to feel about the color sceme on the one hand it looks neet but doesn't it clash with the sinanju? I'm not really in any place to criticize however as I'm still pretty much just a snapfiter/kit ruiner

>>14772916
>>14772916
the entire convention is a social area you retard. If you didnt want to socialize stay at home

>>14774257
I don't know about mix charts, but I've used Vallejo paints for a while and they're ok. They're a bit too heavily pigmented for thin airbrushes (0.3mm) and cake up the nozzle in seconds unless they're heavily thinned, but the flipside is that you still get a really good coating of pigment when they're thinned right down. They're my paint of choice for handbrushing.

>>14774271
>those flipped barrels on the back
God dammit, it shouldn't bother me but it does.

Is Mg Rx-78-2 Gundam Ver.1.5 good? I see one for about $20 and i'm planning buying it to try a mater grade kit

>>14774280
Clearly you have great social skills and people would be delighted for you to walk up to them and start talking.

>>14774271
I gotta give that guy props for fully painting a Neo Zeong, but orange really doesn't fit it and he shouldn't have preshaded the stand. But yeah, it does clash with the HGUC Sinanju piloting it.

14774271
it does clash

>>14774292
getting definisive with snippy sarcasm just screams "socially aware" right?

Aw yiss, my Adele and Ballden Arms arrived before I'm due to go to NYCC. Got to work double time to catch up with the Ace Custom.

On which topic, I'm unsure which barrel to use, A or B. A is the one that came with the Amazing Lev, but I think a longer barrel matches the railgun better.

Yeah I think you're That Guy. Nobody wants to talk to you, with or without alcohol present.

>>14774306
I was joking too ;^) sounds like you actually got a little flustered though.

>>14774315
Well how about you organize a fan event all by yourself and see how expensive it is. The open bar was the most inconsequential part of this whole thing so it was an easy choice.

>>14774321
Oh, so you're a japan:cool staff member. Sorry everyone had a shit time at your con of a convention. At least they aren't demanding their money back, so you still win right?

>>14774389
It's not complicated. Any comments on the GCon page or the J:C page critical of the event were deleted. The only ones left are very gentle "I'm looking forward to next year when hopefully it will be even bigger and even b-better" messages.

Yeah, the suit is a bash between the G-Bouncer and the Adele with a few small mods here and there. The gun is from the Amazing Lev A, with a few more involved mods to mount it under the arm. Probably going to do a Ground and Space type since I love the G Bouncer's backpack but I want to make use of a Hi-Mock backpack I modded already.

Has anyone built the old g fighter kits that they are rereleasing in a few months?
How much paint will i need. I've learned that older kits aren't great for their color seperation.

Gundam Store Idea guy, posting in this thread because old ded thread is ded.

>>14772909
So perhaps I did not word my prompt correctly.
My intention is not to push, as you say "hardkore REAL Gundam fans want," it's quite the opposite.
I don't want to push the niche kits, I want to push the easy, iconic and "looks good/poses well" kits.
I'm not entirely sure where you got that I wanted to open a store and act like a hipster, no, I want to open a store, make money, and sustain a small community of people who will continue coming back for something to put on there desk every now and then.
And even if it does not succeed, well I learned a valuable lesson for my life going forward.

>>14773125
Interesting ideas, however the store I'm going to be putting the kits into will also be a 40k and Magic shop.
Basically the 40k will cover the tools I could need but the thought was for selling people the complete tool kits with nippers knife and files.
But thank you for the suggested kits, I'll keep those in mind.

>>14773127
Excellent, just the advice/list I needed.
The way I figure there is a market for it is because the anime shop that was in town, and went under due to a spike in rent, sold his kits like hotcakes.
And when he closed and brought his kits over to another they still sold well.
But now that store it's in is going under because of bad business decisions (Flames of War is a horrible game to be overstocked in and not have a community for)

I have confidence that the market is still here, small as it may be.
That being said the investor that I'm talking to will be opening his own store soon, and is willing to pay for my startup, allow me to sell in his store, and hire me to run said store.
So even if I have to eat my stock, I will still keep my day job and work for my investor to recoup losses.

>>14774578
Not yet, the fact that the GM Sniper II got upped from RE 100 to MG gives hope for that entire list to get produced in some way.

I would actually like to see a ZZ 2.0 of the sorts and it's a big boy, so maybe it won't be as fucked as the V2 was. Who knows? Cautious excitement, I suppose.

Vote here: http://www.gundam.info/top.php

>>14774616

at least the nips know not to vote on the perfection that is Turn A

>>14774616

My hatred for the ZZ burns with the heat of a thousand suns.

>>14774606
With the rate things have been going with the two recent RGs, who knows when they'll choose after the Build Strike FP. It's very possible we could get the other Wing or 00 suits, maybe even a new AU or UC series to start up.

>>14774606
>RG Turn-A
Japs hate the Turn-A. This is well documented. Hell, look at this poll which is happening right now >>14774616 and Turn-A is right at the bottom.

Fuck them, the Turn-A is one of the best designs.

>>14774624
>>14774631
>implying MSes with already great kits deserve a revamp this soon

Unless you're the franchise flagship that is the Granddaddy, fuck off.

The MG ZZ, along with other early kits like the MG Alex, GP-01, or Kampfer, all deserve updates in the line.

>>14774616
I actually really want to see a 00 vver Ka. or a SEED ver Ka. just to see how they turn out

>>14774643
>'deserve updates'

Why does a shit design deserve an update, all it deserves is to be forgotten. Now don't get me wrong, I'd fellate someone for an Alex or Zephyranthes Ver Ka MG, but lumping the ZZ with them is just cruel.

>>14774640
they didnt vote because they know Turn A is perfect as is and Katoki would ruin it

>>14774643
I'm all for updates of the latter but ZZ is shit and so is Zeta

>>14774651
>>14774652
While I can't argue with tastes, you can't be that much of a faggot to say that the old MG ZZ is a piece of shit in itself.

Any lead Gundam with only a dated MG or nothing at all in the line is a crime in of itself.

>>14774664
*isn't a piece of shit

Think bandai will ever release a rg sazabi?

>>14774677

>>14774664
I agree that the MG ZZ is a heap of shit, but I respectfully disagree that it needs an update.

I've built the Bolt and Maxter, have a Rose in backlog. The Maxter needs paint on the V fin, shoulders, and legs. The bolt only needs paint on the Graviton Hammer. All of the colors on the Rose legs need paint, the hat needs paint, the Rose on the V-Fin needs paint, the rapier itself and the sheath need paint, and the yellow on the shoulder pieces need paint.

I wouldn't mind some more RG 00 suits. The idea of a RG Virtue suit that has Nadleeh in it would be pretty cool, but definitely a hand grenade.
>>14774744
Didn't they use the MK II frame? I think they just wanted to save money and not use a new frame alongside all that gold trimming.

he is much better then the review will let you believe. i dont know what the fuck they did to their kits. my only problem is a wobbly waste and a part of his arm armor thr likes to fall of when you straighten his hand too much.

>>14774777
It's confirmed to be a retail release.

>>14774762
No they don't. If you compare the Mk II and the Strike Freedom, or even the Zaku II their frames are completely different. The arm joints are different, with the Strike Freedom have a ball joint at the shoulder where the MK II has a weird saddle joint. And even the way the waist units are connected is completely different, with the Strike Freedom the waist is just two parts slotted into one another and if you aren't careful it can fall off.

>>14774640
>Japs hate the Turn-A.
That's why they voted for the Turn-A to be the 100th MG. Because they hate the Turn-A so much. Right? God you're an idiot. The MG Turn-A is already perfect. It routinely shows up in Japanese popularity polls as a top5 best MG. There's literally nothing Katoki could do that would be an improvement.

thats exactly what they complained about though, some reviewers over exaggerated it I'll give you that

>>14774777
Yes

>>14774803
From what some reviewers said, going by Gundam Planet at least, some people probably didn't push in certain armor parts hard enough. You're supposed to push unusually hard and hear a click, otherwise it'll be really loose.

>>14774798
>God you're an idiot
I take your point and accept that I was wrong but do you have to talk like a 14 year old girl talking to her parents? Don't be such a faggot.

>>14774803
they made it sounds like all his armor was flying off if you slighly move him. also the waist wobble isnt even a problem for normal possing. the review were so over exagerated that i probably wont bother listening to them. its like they dont work with RGs.

>>14774895
If you think about it for a sec, it makes perfect sense considering the Z'Gok should and would be a manufacturing pain in the ass, UC-crazy-technology aside.

I mean, it's a big giant robot that can:
- fire mega particle guns
- is amphibious
- can actually generate enough energy and minovsky particles (big honkin generator) to have a beam weapon
- lots of cooling technology or ballast tanks for water to cool itself with
- fuel and other normal MS logistical gubbins

>>14774820
The connectors on both are a found on the standard poly cap tree, the old Guncannon is the typical small peg hole, the revive is the slot type that usualy gets used in legs.

That's what I mean. I myself also didn't include the right-side mag because it felt stupid to not have an ejection port on the gun if I could have one. I was wondering if they OP modeller also did so for the same reasons of autism.

>>14774965
Probably the Origin ones since they're newest AND prettiest (the panel lines are exquisite), but the old F2 one isn't a slouch (though it suffers from loose as shit leg missiles like all models that use them).

Its articulation is limited by the giant bulky parts hanging off of it.

>>14774798

Theyll probably use the frame for revive ground type, revive blue destiny units unless its naoki design then possible p bandai. Slave wraith and other variants shown in recent games and manga p bandai. Ill be upset if the gm sniper 2 custom gets p bandai white dingos pbandai again its mostly reused parts, They have other types they can p bandai. But this frame can mean cold climate, command ground and space type, the spartan based off the sniper frame, possible pale rider. Hell naoki is making more off branched variants like the dominator I think it was called.

thunderbolt gm cannon and gun cannon for feddies, as well as gelgoogs for zeeks to round off the on screen suits so far. The ball should stay exclusive to that manga people bought as I doubt many folks would want just the ball. If not p bandai it with some core fighter parts for gms and such. And release a none exclusive mg version as they have the frame already.

>>14775225
Btw whos your guys fave designs for these variants, do you prefer the gm spartan based of sniper 2 frame or the gm type c frame?

As someone who did work for multiple conventions, the idea that you're going to break even or even make a profit the first year makes me laugh. People aren't going to throw money at stuff they don't know, especially if there's already an established convention in the market area and the more money you spend to make your convention appealing, the bigger the risk you have to take.

I have not heard about G-Con until reading this thread and from what I gathered, it's the standard 'how hard could it be to run a convention? It can't be that expensive.' mentality that bites a lot of first time conventions in the ass. I mean even with a convention this small in America, renting out proper hotel space is going to cost at least several thousand dollars, and that's not even including the equipment and overhead.


Correct me if I'm wrong, but G-Con was the idea of some guy and this local Jap Importer called Japan Cool was brought in as partner to make it happen and they were way in over their head. Yes, no?

>>14774616
I wasn't expecting the G-Self to rank high.

>>14775347
More like they made a ton of ridiculous promises early on that fell apart over the course of the year and then they banned a bunch of respected people in the UK gunpla community from attending.

It was also Japan Cool itself organizing and throwing the event, not just some guy bringing them in as a sponsor. Look at the previous threads, the convention was a massive flop on all fronts, not just from a financial perspective.

You'll need to paint it though

>>14776022
A lot of them actually suggest watering down white glue for adding grass flock.

And no, it won't stick to plastic very well. Most railroad modelers use foam, wood, or cork bases for this.

>>14775020
I did both in a row and they Nu and Hi Nu ver ka are quite different
only the inner frame of the torso is identical, everything else is different, this is most noticeable in the legs and also due to the lack of the psychoframe parts
the bazooka is also identical and the funnels are also slightly different

>>14776094
hmm, then i might have to get some fake grass patches and attach them to the base.

i'm already halfway into making a base with plaplate and a stand

>>14776105
One thing you might try is priming the base and then mixing some glue and cheap acrylic paint together and brushing it on, then adding the flock while its wet.

>>14774417
Why didn't people tell JapanCool to go fuck themselves as soon as this was posted?

So, nobody here got the MG FA Gundam Thunderbolt ver Ka huh? It was that shitty not even you shit heads got it?

>>14776139
It's sitting on my desk right now. Just needs the decals and topcoat on the armour/weapons/backpack. Only complaint is that the decals seem to have very little adhesivity.

>>14776142
They're not water slide decals?

>>14776147
They're waterslides, but I had trouble with a not insignificant number of them on the Gundam itself. I did what I usually do when applying waterslides and cut out the decal/backing, dip in water, seperate and position with an x-acto then lightly press them with a cotton wool tip to remove the water underneath; only to have them either adhere more to the cotton wool tip or simply just fall off from general handling before I could seal them with a topcoat. Would love to hear from someone else who's built/building it to see if they've had the same problem.

>>14776164
Russ from GundamPlanet had the same issue, he thought it was the NJ swamp conditions, turned out to be the bad waterslides.

HGs have been moving towards frames for awhile.

Look at the HG Origin Zakus and Revive Gouf. They basically have near-complete inner frames.

So fucking satisfying desu

Also, I see what the other anons were saying a few days ago when they said the MG F91 has its problems. The armor on the arms seems to come loose rather easily, as well as the verniers in the backpack. The knee armor likes to pop off as well. I like that all of the suits gimmicks were put in, like the spare beam shield and saber holster and the ass storage clip made me smile when I saw how it worked.

Overall it's a really good kit with surprising quality for its size.

Schwalbe Graze sucks and you will regret it.

The regular Graze is cool. I like its sleek, minimalist look. I think the Carta Graze comes with all the parts to make the regular one, so you can get that and have the extra parts to dick around with.

>>14776914

I don't like how the upper visor juts out over the lower one. It makes its face look really stupid when it's doing anything but the fat camgirl downwards angle shot, which is why that's how its head is on all the boxart.

I wish Bandai would make more MSD kits.
It's the closest thing to an MSV line we've had since the 80's and there are tons of MSV designs they could redesign like the High Mobility Prototype and the Gouf Flight Type and Desert Zaku. I know I'm just being a spoiled little kid about it but it rustles my jimmies.

Damn it all I want is a decent kit of the G-Self.

But if the current ZZ MG is so bad I can see why people like the idea of a Ver.Ka.

>>14774616
Is ver. Ka like a 2.0 or a reimaging?

>>14778345
Ver.Ka MG kits are when Hajime Katoki is involved in pretty much every step of the kits design process. He does the line art, helps plan out the engineering, the decals, the part separation, included gimmicks, etc.

Basically it's his specific vision of how a design and kit for it should be.

>>14778322
>>14778030
I mean, at least it looks cool.
To me at least. Even if the things on his legs keep falling off

>>14778380
Ok so it's basicly Ver. Katoki.
I'm not exactly liking how that sounds

>>14774895

the RG Z'gok was probably my favorite RG suit to build so far [between it, Quan[T] and the RG zaku that broke a leg hose mount while still on the runner]

The frame is actually quite amazing considering there's no other RG that will ever use that frame, it's impressive they even went through the trouble.

as another anon said though, it does have trouble posing it's arms higher than shoulder height [which is fine, it's unlikely it would be holding it's arms that high anyway unless in a swimming pose.]

>>14776998
To be honest, I'm thinking about blowing 13 bucks to get the option sets for the Graze Shield and Sword. Maybe for some kind of ace custom kind of thing.

>>14776999
I'm just curious man, have you ever been at a starting con in a given area?

Because I'll tell you right now I've been to several start up conventions, and it usually takes 3+ years before a convention even starts to really take off, unless there's a huge marketing push behind it, or it's focused around a specific property that's insanely popular in that given area.

As much as we love Gunpla up in here... Gundam's not hugely popular outside of moonland. No matter how much we wish it was otherwise. So a Gundam/Gunpla centric convention, honestly if they had 50+ people for a first time, then fucking good on them, because I've seen con's start with 15-25 people and be considered a successful "first time convention."

>>14778887

Wanting some personal opinions here. What, in your opinion, is the best shade of blue for a kit? There are no right or wrong answers. Feel free to provide links to specific paints if desired.

>>14778944
There was literally nothing to do.
people got bored within an hour and went to York food market instead.

>>14778944

There was literally nothing to do at the con.
No open bar.
No social areas whatsoever.
The whole thing was set up so some ripoff artists could sell kits.
They had a thing where they'd sell your kit for you and take a slice, so they're making money off your own work.
No other vendors.

It was a "con" only in the sense that people thought it was going to be a convention and instead they wasted money to travel to, essentially, a single stall selling marked up kits.

>>14778944

You know how sometimes there's a scene in a movie or TV show where the main character is excited to take his family on vacation someplace really cool and then he gets there and the music cuts out and it's a total craphole with one dead-eyed guy charging 20 bucks to see his dad lead a goat around in a circle or something?

People paid an entry free for nothing other than a single stall selling japancool's already overpriced kits. On top of that if anyone else wanted to sell a kit at the con, japancool insisted on taking a cut.

People spent money on travel and accommodation (it was in the middle of nowhere) and got nothing, NOTHING other than one stall ripping them off.

Usually people don't mind paying a little extra at a con because there's a bunch of panels and events and interesting guests, etc.
There wasn't even gundam merch for sale other than kits, ffs. And the "Gundam Cafe" wasn't themed food, it was just sausage and chips and a can of coke. (also overpriced as fuck)

Why did they even advertise it as a Gundam Cafe? Because a fat girl in a shitty Feddie cosplay stood next to it for a few minutes.

>>14778589
Your card may be denying the charge because even though you're using PayPal, it still is processed as on an overseas charge. Which can flag it as a potential credit card fraud or theft or something

Visa Electron is also very iffy and shitty. I have heard of Electrons preventing payment quite a bit when ordering from Japan.

>Figure it might be cool to have a kit on display while I browse stalls and buy cheap DVDs
>4-Day passes are sold out and going for $300+ on ebay

Maybe next year.

The memes, Jack.

I went to NYCC last year. It's fucking hard to get into, but there was some really nice kits on display.

>>14777371
they do this on other kits either hints of up coming suits or just cock teases that may never see light of day. Shin matsunaga (sp?) had Dozle's zaku 2 and a gm sniper custom on the art. One of the hguc f91 kits had crossbone suit on the front etc etc.

>>14779625
All the passes on ebay are scams, they set it up this year so that you had to have an account registered in fucking June before buying a ticket and then assigning every ticket bought to someone who also has to have their own account. Then you have to activate it with said account when the badges arrive and show corresponding photo ID at the door.

Source: I'm going to NYCC. Bought four sets of tickets for me, my wife, a friend and his girl, then his girl leaves him after tickets are paid for. I now have some very expensive bits of plastic with zero use. No refunds, thanks NYCC.

But hey, I'll take pics.

MK-II is the most solid RG I've built so far, I put on most of the decals and so far its lookin fantastic.

Its no wonder I see so many anons recommending it, it is well designed, aside from the shitty peg connection thats mandatory if you want to out it on an action base.

Also, just curious if any anons try to put on all the stickers or just put on enough til they feel satisfied? I tend to ignore the tiny square stickers as they tend to be troublesome and tiny.

>>14780129

It's a social event, faggot.

>>14780134

I just put on whatever decals I want. I don't like the "oceans of decals" look.

>>14780129
It's the worst attempt to beat scalpers I've ever seen, frankly.

>>14780134
How much does the "film" of the stickers show? I tend to use waterslides or dry transfers because the film of stickers gives off a slight shiny finish that looks bad

>>14780208
depends on when you put them on and stuff, not that guy but I tend to put them on before a matte coat so they dont shine at all. i mean if you dont top coat there's gonna be SOME shine.

>>14780229
>>14780208
There's one of those "fun to build gunpla" videos where they show trimming the excess film of the RG stickers, which helps make them look less like stickers

>>14780328
ive never found those to help at all, they still look like it but just take up less room

>>14776448
im going to have to buy another one of these since i fucked up my first one so bad. i regret that it was my first mg. i still love it though.

Just embarrassing. I don't care who did what, this is just cringeworthy and not how you run a con or a business. Japan Cool needs a PR person because the guy himself is fucking up royally.

i fucked up

>>14780766

1) How do you not have 80 bucks?
2) You have a week to get that 80 bucks.
3) How did you not factor in shipping costs?

>>14780779
1. surprise doctors visit after fucking my leg up
2. did not know that amiami gave you a week
3. im fucking retarded and didn't know it would be ~40 bucks

>>14780784

Yeah. amiami gives you a week. And from now on just estimate that depending on the size of the shit you ordered it's going to cost 50-100 dollars to ship it.

>>14774271
Why does it remind me the Ideon ?

>>14780368
How did you fucked him up anon?
He's pretty expensive just to go out and buy another.
Can't you fix it somehow?

If you want a different and easier MG, I would suggest the Jesta.
Shit's cheap and pretty hard to fuck up.

>>14780766
if youre so poor why are you buying gunpla?

>>14781116
i completely ficked up his shoulder because i didnt see the little nub that comes out on the peg for his arm. $60 isnt so bad. ill get another when i buy psycho zaku.

Anyone have the RG GP01 Full Bernern? It looks cool, and from what I could tell from Dalong it uses the same internal frame that the MK II has, so it should be pretty sturdy.

>>14781253

It's much less sturdy.

>>14781253
lol

>>14781253
Does the MkII have a core fighter? Because the GP01 does.

>>14780766
>Be Canadian
>Total cost for THREE kits comes to 66$

I really wish I could have just ordered these from my local comic shop...

>>14781333
Ask them to get good.

>>14781253
I have the RG GP01 (I think the Full Burnern is a downgrade in every way that's different) and while I think it does use the Mk.II's frame for the most part the whole chest section is different because of the core fighter. It is less sturdy, but by no means a hand grenade like the Zeta. The only thing I can't account for is the added weight of the FB backpack, as that might compound problems with the torso (which is basically a top half and bottom half plugged on either side of the Core Fighter).

consider the following: a guy that hasn't built anything but a couple simple zoids when he was 12 buys the pic related models

how hard of a time would this guy have, and how much would he destroy the models?

also, should the guy buy a couple SDs and/or simpler models? if so, wich models?

>>14781360
>I think the Full Burnern is a downgrade in every way that's different
Why do you think that?

why do you have the task view button on there why is chrome BEFORE explorer

>>14781428

>he doesn't have Amazon Prime

That said those kits are all pretty easy builds.

>>14781499
>never bought anything on amazon to be honest

that said, I'm still not sure about buying those

is there some sort of slightly more difficult zaku/gouf model than that barbatos? I'm not sure I want 3 V-fins, it lacks some mono-eye

>>14781542

You can buy the Revive RX-78-2 and a Graze(any variant). Graze is basically a monoeye and if you put together a Graze it basically gives you an idea of what every single IBO kit is like. It's also cheap.

Those two kits will give you a good grasp on "modern gunpla" and they're only slightly over 20 bucks and then you can decide if you want to invest further in this hobby.

Oh fuck, hell no.
This is the BB Senshi line, not the fucking SDEX shit for god's sake.
Seems like the Knight Superior Dragon might be the last decent SD.

>>14781542
if you want a hg zaku, go with any of the origins kits. if you just want a fuck ton of shit, pick up both thunderbolt zakus(not the psycho)

>>14781560

>the Zeta is a hand grenade meme

It's a floppy mess.

An actual plastic hand grenade would be something like the RX-78-2, where things fly off and fall apart. If anything, the Zeta just has floppy skirts and leg connections, which can be summed up as weak. However, everything stays on the model, nothing comes off.

>>14781562
I was thinking about the grey zaku with the rocket launchers on the shoulder(and the star decal on the head)

>>14781549
I'm not planning on buying many IBO kits, one barbatos or/and the chubby gundam(because he's cute), and grazes don't appeal to me.

>>14781333
No you don't.
>New HG FA Unicorn: $59.85

Dude, why did you get the wrong Mk. II?

>>14781783
I didn't buy it yet

and are you talking about titans colors or any other model?

I got the cheapest one because poorfag and thirdworld dweller

Titans Mk. 2 comes with some optional parts

>>14781796
he's buying the right one you fucking mook

>>14781796
that's just shoulderparts, right?
is there anything else on titans that there isn't on aeug?

>>14781779
I know how that feels.
Cost me 160 for 2 mgs from a Canadian site.
Before shipping.

>>14781813
It's shoulder, chest, and thruster on side of knee. And no, that's the only difference (other than colours)

>>14781827
I've just switched to hobby wave. I'm going to sound like a shill. but their prices are way better than any canadian site I've seen, even after the exchange rate (comparable to HLJ's). Plus, it's $18 flat shipping.
Ended up paying total $106 (US) for MG RX-78 3.0 and MG Duel Gundam last summer

>>14781827
>ordering from a canadian site

>>14781853
only thing i use them for is supplies and other things in bulk, uusually once a year

>>14781853
is customs really that bad that canucks cant order straight from japan

>>14781798
>>14781791
AEUG is a shit faction and the shit colors. Get the Mk. II
It shouldn't be much more.

>>14781853
It was a need order.
I usually order everything from japan that i want but couldn't find the mg build Mk-II or super gundam anywhere else

>>14781864
Yeah sometimes i order from canadian sites. You know. Because i live in canada

>>14781922
so do I and they're all overpriced. hobbywave is only worth it if you're buying in bulk and they actually have kits in that you want.

>>14781921
>AEUG is the shit colour
haha nice joke mate

>>14781853
>$106 (US)
Not bad. If I ordered those two from Amazon, it'd cost me near 80.

>>14781934
Sorry, but I can't stand so much fucking white on my kits.
