climax UC has been out since january or somethingOriginally Posted by Meehlimo
yea so whats your point?
my point is you said upcoming, so maybe you didnt know it was already out for like 2 months
LOL damn!!! psyke nice weird i always thought u had more gundam models than me i have like 280 plus and still growing...
I've still got some kits lying around, and never got around getting them out of their box. Most of the time these days I'm just collecting Kamen Rider and Ultraman figures. And of course.... Garo! Haha it's the best tokusatsu show in recent years.

Man i have to agree on that, but wasn't there only one season and that movie (god that was awesome)?
Is there any place online where i could purchase some garo figures, with international shipping?
You can try www.hobbylinkjapan.com, but I'm not sure if the Garo items are sold out, since there are lots of Garo fans out there. The White Makai Knight was just released this month, so chances are high that you can still get it. And yeah the movie rocked.

Somewhere last week I was fed up with just having my kits unbuilt in my room.
In 4-5 days I've built almost all my kits. Since most of them were 1/100 HG, that was pretty easy. Building the kits started te become a small obsession. I spent hours on end building. My neck didn't like that. I was forced to take a day off to restore the feeling in my neck.. not funny, I guarantee.
The MG kits were amusing, great detail, but not too hard to build. They just take longer.
Yesterday I started with PG Wing Zero Custom. When I saw the hands, I couldn't stop drooling. I just couldn't help myself and made both arms/hands 'give the finger'.
The irritation started today...The legs were completed without much trouble, although it took me a while to figure out what the springs were for.
The bad luck started when I started with the waist part. I attached a piece wrong, and tried to remove it... SNAP! It took a while to realize that I just broke a part of an expensive PG kit.
Luckily some glue could undo the damage, and now it's as strong as ever.
It wasn't until I started with the wings that I wanted to start throwing stuff. I can't understand how somebody can think of a construction with spring like thingies that just refuse to stay in the place where they belong. When I finally got both of the wings working like they should (they should release a bigger part of the wing when the wing is raised), I heard the now familliar sound of a spring-thingie that shot out of it's place.
What happened then almost caused me to cry.. I tried to open the wing to redo the springs.. when once again I heard the bone crunching sound of breaking plastic. I almost broke the wing in half. It now has an annoying crack somewhere halfway. The wing was só stuck that it just wouldn't let go anymore.
After saying some words that will get me banned here I managed to fix the springs. Only to find out that the other wing also stopped functioning. This time it opened up like it should. Tomorrow I'm gonna glue those stupid springs in place so they will never be able to shoot loose again.
The sad conclusion of today: I mutilated a PG kit that cost me about €200..
Now I'm getting a bit scared to start with my PG Strike and Skygrasper kits.
Is it just me, or does everybody have problems with braking part every now and then?
Total damage report:
Broke the pin on the Shield of Wing Ver.Ka -> fixed with glue.
Broke a part in the body near gattling guns of Wing ver. Ka -> didn't influence the stability and you can't see it.. no probs.
Broke the upper part or the leg of MG Zeta 2.0 -> glue fixed it
Almost broke a whole wing in PG W.Zero Custom -> Ever with glue you can see the scar.. I'll see if I can fix that by filling it up or something.
Broke a pin in another wing of PG W.Zero Custom -> Doesn't influence stability and you don't see it, so no big deal.
It looks like I'm better at wrecking kits then building them...
Have you guys ever had building disasters?
Yes, I have a few action bases. Theyre pretty much the same things that you get with strike freedom FBM. Theyre actually pretty handy to have. Ive used them for various models such as 1/100 Saviour and 1/100 Wing Zero. I plan to get more of them so that all my models will have a stand of some sort.
So they really work on all models?
As far as I have been able to determine, yes.
Found this one:
http://www.gundambase.com/community/...1&news_idx=681
looks really nice
Don't know if it can hold 1/100s too..
My wallet is not going to like my actions again, but I ordered at HLJ:
Order 1:
Astray Red Frame 1/100
Action Base Black X 2
Order 2:
MG Destiny Special edition
Action Base Black X 2
I ordered separately, because sometimes the customs here forget to apply taxes to items that are just above the minimum amount that applies to tax. (around €22)

These official stands from Bandai are great. They are of good material, and balance well. More over, they're also much cheaper than those 3rd party stands which use metal pieces. I believe there are 1/100 versions too, so do keep a look out.

The 'Action Base 1' is for 1/144, 1/100 (incl. MG).. but I couldn't see it in the description of the 'Action base 2'.
The Action Base Char Version is also very cool if you have a MS piloted by Char.
Something totally different:
Do any of you guys make custom parts for your Models?
I have again broken one of the 'V' things of MG Zeta V2.0. The material is really fragile, so I'm thinking of making one myself. I also want to make custom twin beam-saber holds for the MGs of Freedom and Strike Freedom FBM, since I think that the joined holds are way too long.
I'm wondering just how hard that is..
Edit: Does anyone have any experience with ordering spare parts?
I killed an important part of the foot of Zeta v2.0 and repair is nearly impossible..

Sorry for the double post, but this looks just awesome:
MG Destiny Special edition.
http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN951244
what the heck are those clear pieces on the left side of the stand?
As per referrence to your situation with the spare parts, I have not had any experience in ordering spare parts. I did not think it was possible to be honest.
Oh my lord, that looks fking crazy, *gets*
Does anyone already received the Destiny Extreme Burst Mode?
Mine hasn't shipped yet, but that can be b/c I have other items in my order that are not in stock. And in December the last item will be in stock :'(
The Destiny EBM is discontinued at HLJ, so I'm a bit scared
I wouldnt be. Same thing happend with strike freedom and look what happened.
