Gundam Seed Model Kits from Bandai

[Curium]

I just can't understand the price here.

Buster Dagger Conversion

It is a kit to convert a 1/100 Buster Gundam into a Buster Dagger. It isn't even a full model yet they are charging more then the price for the PG Strike Rouge + Skygrasper for it. The PG Rouge is 19,000 Yen, the Buster Dagger conversion kit is listed at 19,800 yen.

Hmmmm you're right. I hope it's a mistake on Hobbylink's part. No one's gonna get this over the PG Strike......

Most B-club parts I've seen are riduculously high.. -_- That's why most modeler built their own custom parts [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Uhm, Astronopolis, what brittle plastic are you talking about? Judging from the material, it is not very likely to break and the paint is not easily being chipped off. Additionally every GFF comes with tons of stuff, most of it to change the first Gundam into a second one. And about the poses...well, alright, the Ex-S is not that poseable, that is true, but it is due to the fact that it is such a bigass MS. With others like the Gerberea or the classic RX-78 or the Alex it is different. Even my Ex-S would be a lot more ...mobile, if I'd take off all the extra equipment and turn it back into a Superior Gundam. And finally, as Psyke said, they are extremely detailed and well made. I gotta say, the price fits the product.
Oh, btw, I'm pretty sure that any other normal model, like a HG or MG kit would break more easily then a GFF. But who would let their Gundams fall from shelves? We all know that they can't really fly('though PG's look like they should), don't we? At least I hope we do...[img][/img]

im not saying that GFFs suck, just merely stating that MIAs have different strengths than their GFF counterparts, strengths that suit my particular toy needs. for one thing they (GFF) are not meant for playing, call me stupid and childish, but i like to mess with my toys and pose them and take them apart and all that, and not feel too bad about possibly breaking them by just handling them or posing them.
im not saying that GFF are made of crappy plastic or anthing, they are very high quality figures with excellent paint jobs and look beautiful. however, MIAs are quite a bit more durable due to the rubbery nature of the plastic used for them. of course noone wants things to fall off their shelves, but i live in a very small apartment, and shit happens, you know? and due to the limited space (and cash i might add) i generally collect smaller cheaper toys like microman and gashapon and a few larger figures including a MG here and there. in fact id love to have more GFF, but ive grown to love MIA since my collection has grown so huge (over 150 )

MG AGGAY The detailing on this is pretty cool.

MG AGGAY is pretty interesting.. claws are spring loaded [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and it's having a display stand. I think I'm planning to get this or the 1/100 Destiny [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

if they bother you so much just chuck them out, i think its cool they put them in there, especially in such a silly suit design like the acguy

Bought these today. Came in a set of 7, so I put them together beside the original 4 I had. Also got the latest issue of Dengeki Japan. Will scan and post up some pics when I have time after I scan some of the G Gundam pics I promised (in the G Gundam thread).

[Terracosmo]

Nice figurines, wish I could buy some too. :/

Edit: God, I -need- a MG Wing Zero Custom. Now.

ooo really? can you please give me the website to where you bought it at?

[Curium]

This isn't that set, but I think this is the correct site. I searched Yahoo for the atamaii that is just before the image #.

Also this could be fun http://www.atamaii.com/gundam-040413d.html I would probably scan them into the computer so I could use MS paint or something like it. Any Gundam from seed in any color scheme.

[Terracosmo]

Is Atamaii a trustworthy site?

[Psyke]

I bought it at a hobby store, not online. : )

[Curium]

Just looking to try and find out which 1/100 was coming after SF (I failed) I found these, just thought they were interesting.

1/1700 Eternal Plated Version
1/1700 Archangel Plated Version
1/400 Meteor (SEED Destiny) - Looks like Akatsuki might be able to use Meteor.
1/60 Strike Freedom Flash Edition - There is some kind of add in Japanese on it. If someone could please translate I would appreciate it.
