The Gundam Thread

Gundam fans, this thread is for you!

I finished Season 1 of Gundam 00 and will be starting Season 2 today. This is my first experience with any Gundam and so far I'm liking it a lot. Watching the anime will inevitably lead to owning the model kits. I wish the G-System stuff wasn't so damn expensive, their 1/35 Gundam looks amazing.

Lockon Stratos is a pretty badass codename for a mecha sniper.

Lockon is cool, definitely my second favorite character, Tieria being my first.

00 is a great intro for Gundam fans, after that though I'd suggest, if you can handle it, drudging your way through the Scooby Doo animation of the original Mobile Suit Gundam. Once you're done with that, you can watch the sequel, the greatest Gundam series and my favorite Anime series of all time, Zeta Gundam.

The models are a lot cheaper and have a lot better details than they used to compared to normal figures. But Robot Damashii is where it's at and though they're expensive, the two I have are the best figures I own.

Might be picking up RX78 Hard point ver. & zaku II from RD SIDE MS and considering Tallgeese III...regretted passing on the Arch Enemies version and never found the MSiA!

If they finally release the damn G-3 I'm all over that, and the Zaku II will be mine. It looks absolutely fantastic.

I want them to make a CASVAL Gundam! All I know is that it's Char's from some alternate continuity s%^& but it LOOKS cool and hell..it's CHAR! Wonder when SIDE MS will add the Sazabi and Nu Gundam..bet they'd be like $60 though.

For the love of Char Bandai, GIVE! ME! THE! ALEX!

Kampfer can come too.

And a Zaku II Kai.

I would get those and the GM cold types too

Hey is anyone one else here who own the Real Grade RX-78-2 having issues holding the beam sabers? If so are there any fixes for this problem? Mine holds everything else with no problem at all, except for the beam sabers.

Talisman · 05-26-2011, 05:45 PM

I just saw BBTS posted pre-orders for the Robot Damashii Aile Strike Gundam and the Sword and Launcher packs. I'm hoping this means they'll revisit the other GAT-X (Buster, Duel, Blitz, and Aegis) series and the Astray Gundams too.

As much as I love the Blue Frame, for what I pay for a 5 or 6-year old MSiA, I could probably wait for a Damashii release with more stuff.

Robot Damashii G3 Gundam Metallic Coating Version Exclusive - Gundam: Imported Action Figures Robot Damashii / Robot Spirits

If this is going to be the only way I can get this figure I am fucking pissed.

I think that is my man, unless Bandai makes a duller looking version as a mass release later on.

Damn man a lot of their GOOD SHTUFF is going to TamashiiWeb

For US fans, we are #$%^&*()_ed

scarecrow · 06-30-2011, 01:51 PM

Yeah, as I've said several times around here, G-3 is my favorite RX-78 variation... This pretty much crushes me as I can't justify spending that much on a single figure.

Just imagine how much Casval's Gundam is going to go for when it finally gets revealed

How do you think I feel? I'm an Armor Plus guy AND a RD guy. Let me tell you, this ain't fun. I don't think I've [CENSORED] [CENSORED] [CENSORED] [CENSORED] [CENSORED] [CENSORED] [HOLY HELL CENSORED] for three years.

GundamStoreandMore has the MG 00 Raiser in stock for $70. I ordered mine.

Hobbyist Prime · 07-17-2011, 06:55 AM

Does anyone know where I can buy Perfect Grade kits for an somewhat reasonable price? I got the first release of the RX-178 MKII and fell in love with them but I can't justify paying upwards of $400 of $500

scarecrow · 08-02-2011, 11:05 PM

I just preordered the Robot Damashii Zaku II

My girlfriend is buying it for me for my birthday... I've never had a basic Zaku II before and this is the mother of them all... I'm so excited!

HLJ and Angolz. Keep your eyes peeled on HLJ's sales, every now and then they got PG's on sale.

Dude let me know how it turns out! Damn....forgot that the RX78 Hard Point Ver. went on sale at HLJ a few months back!

Cool thanks. I will start checking them on a regular basis

scarecrow · 09-10-2011, 01:01 AM

Got my Zaku II today, it is crazy awesome. My only complaint is that the hard points get bumped off easily while you're trying to stick other things on it... But it's really not a big deal.

I'd like to get another one someday so I can do more mixing and matching with the different pieces. There is a lot left for the imagination and that is very cool. It's by far the best Zaku ever made, the detail work is perfect and it's fun. All in all just what a RD should be.

nakobass · 09-10-2011, 02:37 AM

Love Gundam 00, The Robot Damashii Figures are Fantastic. I'll take them over the models anyday.

As for the Armor Plus Guys, I was able to pre-order both the Inferno Armor and Rowin's Armor. You just have to find the right web-site, and pay for them in advance.

Iceman · 06-01-2013, 07:25 PM

Just announced.
