Are there any major issues with the GNX or the Enact (specifically al-Saachez's but as far as I can see it's just a recolour)? Because those are my next purchases (My Masurao arrives tomorrow  Although I know I'll probably need to put it up on it's base because it has stability issues)

re chrome plating on rg exia/astraea: is there any way to remove chrome plating or make it look not like dog poo poo without stripping the part or just painting over the chrome entirely

Is there something like Dalong for SD kits? Dalong only has the vanilla SD models and not that line of armored/gimmicky ones. .. Why yes the latest episode of BF-Try gave me an idea.

If the Mock is cheap enough, we should have a Mock Battle. Who can build the coolest Mock?

I'm tempted to make the RG RX-78 my next build just to see if it's really as bad as they say, but I've got an untouched MG Sazabi and Hi-Nu sitting here in mute testimony to me being a lazy piece of crap so I dunno.

I have a weird fascination for kits with bad reputations. Almost added an MG V-Dash to my 2014 haul before reality intervened. Maybe next year!

What is the lag time typically between a new kit release and amazon US sellers getting them? Alternatively which japan based sellers on amazon are good to deal with.

I once dropped my RG RX from about elbow height. The only thing that exploded was the shoulders. Either it's not as fragile as all that, or I'm some sort of Meijin.

The most fragile part on mine is the ankle strap. But I bet if you dropped it right those little buttons you pop on the joints would go flying off too. Overall the RX782 RG was a fuckin chore to build, I hope the MG Buster Gundam is a little bit better. The poses are pretty cool though. Just gotta paint it up and finish assembling it's weapons + shield.

It takes anywhere from almost immediately to a few weeks. Usually never more than a month. Amazon's become my go-to for Gunpla for a while now. Roughly same price as shipping from Japan, but with Prime in the equation, I can get that kit I want shipped to my door in two days flat.

The shipping delay is a natural brake on stockpiling, circumvent it with care.

Prime is a mixed bag. A lot of the time you are definitely paying for that extra shipping speed, sometimes it's a straight up benefit. If you want specialized poo poo like when I bought the AGE-1 Razor set I had no Amazon option period. Speaking of backlog my mine just expanded to include a Sword Impulse HG, Airmaster "Gundam X" HG, Gunpla Builders Beginning J, and Exia Repair HG. I love me some swords. Also I got my paint situation figured out and it just needs testing after I receive the goods. If anyone is interested in custom paints and paint markers ask me in 2 weeks and I should be able to talk allllllllll about it. signalnoise fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Oct 30, 2014 |

I have finally worked down my HG backlog to just 2 kits. I've had alot of fun building these HG kits they seem to lack alot of posing and break down ability. Will be moving up to MG pretty soon after a break to make some cars.
