    I would be interested in posters/friends of posters travelling to Japan willing to check out Gundam MSIA in the stores they are already going to. The prices are much lower than they are in the US and Ebay has become very, very slim. And I still have some gaps in my UC stuff.

    They also have a good selection of MSiA stuff:

    http://order.mandarake.co.jp/order/listPage/serchKeyWord?keyword=MS in ACTION!!/MIA

    And you can order it directly to your house in the US, no proxy service needed.

    edit: this is where I get all my MSiA and Fix Figuration stuff.

    I've ordered from Mandarake in the past and plan on doing it again. But even they are missing some stuff I'd like to get or get more of.

    Have you checked Amazon Japan for stuff?

    I wasn't aware that Amazon Japan shipped internationally.

    The Zaku FZ releases in May, stay to the end of the video for a full body shot of it.

    edit: also the Alex goes up for PO tonight at your favorite import store.

    War in the Pocket is a top OVA on my list in general, not even just for Gundam.

    Yeah honestly I'd put War in the Pocket, Stardust Memories, and 08th MS each in my top anime's of all time. It's hard figuring out an order though, since they all bring something unique to the table. Gun to my head I'd say that 08th MS was the best, but thats largely due to my own nostalgia for it.

    I actually have a lot of nostalgia for Wing even though I am a die hard UC fan and generally limit my Gundam collecting to UC (and for gunpla Build Fighters). It just happens to be my intro to the Gundam universe due to Toonami. Luckily late night Toonami/Adult Swim shortly after started showing the original series and the UC OVAs.

    Yup, that was my intro as well. Watched Wing on Toonami, liked it, and then 08th MS started airing during the midnight run block and blew my fool mind.

    I have never watched War in the Pocket for some reason. I'll watch it after I finish 08th MS Team again.

    Also, I forgot all about Norris Packard. Holy SHIT

    Thanks team, I was hoping to get the PG millennium falcon for a better price, and it is a better price, but with Christmas happening it is too far outside my price range still.

    Kinda on the pricey side. I'd use Samuel for custom waterslides, I think other sites are better for kits.

    I am disappointed to find that a ton of MSIA on amazon.co.jp through the "global" site do not ship to the US. Amazon Global proper has almost nothing. And the fees for forwarding services are ridiculous and end up multiplying the cost.

    Finished the 1/100 Gundam Bael. I really need to pick up an action base for it to get some dynamic posing with the swords.

    I finished 08th MS Team again. I now want a Gundam Ground-Type gunpla and a Gouf Custom. I really didn't care for the last episode and seemed to have wiped it completely from my memory the last time I watched.

    I'm gonna start on 0080 War in the Pocket tonight probably.

    The red and white will work better than the red and blue. Go with the first set. Also make sure it's the right scale for your kit.

    I am

    Upset

    The arm bits on the hygogg are all breaking and i cant figure out why

    I attempt to connect the arms and the armor bits all start cracking. Its as if they are too small even though I know for sure these are the right parts

    His name would probably be Kurt Crustaceous knowing rediculous pilot naming conventions.


    Is it weird that all of this is entirely plausible for being included in a Gundam anime?

    1/100 Graze is a goddamn annoying kit. I don't think I can display it because if you so much as glance at it funny half the armour plates fall off.

    Some of the RE 1/100 kits look pretty cool and I'm under the impression that they are like upsized HGs. I have stayed around HG and RG for size reasons but I may pull the trigger on an MG to build along with my two unbuilt RGs over Christmas.

    I'm building my first RE 1/100 right now, the Bawoo. It's more complicated than an HG, but doesn't have an inner frame like an MG. It is super detailed with lots of panel lining and a nice transformation gimmick. It's also a pretty good sized kit for a $30 price point.

    One thing they did that I really like is they used a plastic midway between poly-caps and their normal hard plastic for all but the red parts, which makes them super easy to cut out and clean up with no real nub marks.
