i finally manage to get one !
Man i totally forgot about the release of the
GUNDAM FIX FIGURATION METAL COMPOSITE Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex
i guess i try to found one when it get releases
I hope you still taking the Hein I ordered for you?
Any word on the Destiny re-issue? Personally I like the Heine better but they both look good!
I'm still keen on gold astray if i see a good ebay sale again. As for the destiny, i dont know some peoples opinions about gundam but i get it should be similar to TFs so i'll quietly say i've preordered a 3p mg drstiny based on the metal build, and intend to paint it up heine colours. If i want a red/white/blue one i'll buy the regular mg kit.
I spent yesterday preparing an mg strike for priming, going a custom colour scheme in a way, still not sure if i'll put the aile pack on it and if i do what colours to paint it. Going to require a bit more planning anyway as i intend to use putty and glue and paint the frame.
Metal build are a totally different category to mg. While it is a save money concept buying mg and paint your own colors.
The trade off is the mb is well made toy and it reduce your own time in needing to build and paint.
Likewise I wasn't too happy to pay 28, 000 jpy for mb strike freedom as it is a model in mg I have several copies of.
If you are a toy collector is easier to comprehend. A friend of mine started to collect mb and said"wow the level of detail compared to the macross chogokin is miles apart, needless to say how the quality of a transformers mp compares."
Saying that as a modeler your creativeness is endless and can be better detailed than a mb.
Also the mb golden astray is easily available I can get them cheaply as in below 25, 000jpy
