That link leads to a pre owned one for 4,000 Yen and it looks like the regular price is a little more, but I think they might not be printing it at the moment since its out of stock on the main product page. So unless its in stock on another site the one in that link might be your best chance to get it sooner rather than later.
What is that $40? Might be worth it, Katejina is probably never getting a reprint, everybody hates her.

Finished Stardust Memories and F91.

Stardust didn't really leave that much impression on me, it wasn't bad, I liked the animation, I just can't really tell you I was that invested after about the halfway mark.
F91 I really enjoyed despite it being obviously sort of hacked together. Some scenes and characters seemed to jump around and lacked development. But I enjoyed the dumb action like the intro and the beyblades. It has sequel manga right?

Ok I was wondering if there was any hint that it was possible. Doesn't a Gundam in that series where a cape?
You might be thinking of the Crossbone X-1 Full Cloth.

The best thing about F91 is death by empty bullet case on the head.
The rest is kind of meh.
That was a highlight.

I somehow managed to be entertained the whole way through. Like I said the Beyblades gave me a chuckle. I enjoyed the action overall. Some good robot kicks. Some good wipeouts. Some people get jacked in this movie.

Ehhhh, F91 had some pretty weak designs, and the main reason why I didn't bother with it. Crossbone saved it, though.

To anyone else who hasn't been paying attention like me, HLJ's summer sale is going. Main Gunpla feature is 40% off of the MG Deep Strike. I really shouldn't have bought it but I did. There are some other decent deals others in here might want to look at. 30% off PG Exia, MG ZZ Ver Ka and RG Johnny Ridden Zaku to name some.

That's a bummer. I don't ever really use SAL, but it's really good for small cheap orders like a couple HGs or a RG. I always tend to have multiple kits coming at the same time or stuff that's too expensive for me to comfortably ship uninsured/tracked but it's good that the option is there for us.

those reasons are the excuses I tell myself but truth is I don't have the patience to wait for SAL when I can spend too much money on EMS and have it here in like 3 days

I need to use these guys more lol. I've been slumming it with the retail prices. Hell even one of my friends works there for their customer service >.>

And speaking of "capes," Astray No-Name looks dope.

Why the hell is it all white lol, the anime version is more metallic gray and looks vastly better.

Gundam Build Divers Ep 13

Pretty enjoyable if only for No-Name Astray (that name and the poncho-like accessory better be a Clint Eastwood reference - too bad it mainly uses swords). Kinda bullshit that it didn't blow up after being skewered but what the hell, it has too many Astray gimmicks (reverse face?, Gold Frame claw that can pickup a giant sword just like Powered Red, etc) to be wiped out on the first appearance.


Are those Destiny's WoL on Riku's new 00?

I'm almost scared to ask but how much did you pay for shipping the Deep Striker?

If I didn't already have a MG EX-S sitting inside the box I might have been tempted :p

Not a fan of that ring thing around it's head. If I even get it that thing's staying in the runner.

Nothing yet becauses it's sitting in the private warehouse until MP Dinobot hits end of July but when all is said in done it probably will cost me $20 over what I'm already paying which was another reason I bit on it.

Shipping on it alone is like $50-60

If we are to stan for slightly crazy Gundam blondes, at least Dorothy Catalonia has a surname I can get behind and eyebrows that put Street Fighter Alpha's Ken to shame.
Dorothy has best eye brows, she's a toned down Katejina to me honestly, but she's like top 3 Wing waifu though.
It can't be said enough times how much of a terrible person Katejina is.
She sent some bikini clad women to death by beam saber for...reasons...

From the anime it looks like the ring thing flips around into another V-fin, kinda like that of the Command Astray.


Since the No-Name is incorporating so much of the Astray line I wonder if the claw can transform into the Tactical Arms used by the Red and Blue Astray. I can certainly see the resemblance.

That No-Name Astray looks pretty sweet. Astrays have such a sick look generally, but the swords being katanas is SOOOO lame to me. No-Name having beam swords is the way to go. Even beam sabers with wrapped katana handles is better. The fiction of 3-4 story big swords being hammered folded steel or whatever space metal is ridiculous. Now, as I type this, I figure in-fiction the swords are made with a special process that isn't like reality, but whatever.

Victory Gundam has one of the most bizarre eye catches I've seen in a show.

*A forest or city on fire, thousands of cadualties*
EYE CATCH: How about Haro and some dog dicking around to some flute music, instead of a cool swooping shot of a gundam.
*back to that fire...*

Principality of Catalonia
G-Reco has beautiful MS and character designs. The story is unnecessarily convoluted, badly paced and barely explained. There's lots of characters that behave like morons for unknown reasons and their motivations are obscure or unexplained to say the least.
Overall I didn't like the story too much but it's pretty to look at.
G-Reco's gunpla is in general very well engineered with good color separation and interesting gimmicks.
