Post your pictures, links and talk about the Gundams.

Right now I'm waiting for the 1/100 00 Riser kit to show up at the hobby stores.
It's such a good looking kit. :D

Crossbone Gundam, as fas as I know, it was only a manga series

Ah ok, I never really got into Gundam manga. I have some of the Wing books, and the first 2 volumes of Seed Astray, that's it.

Expect new gundam kits to arrive in about 1-2 months later than release dates in Japan, that is because most retailers ship by sea mail to lower costs.

Hobbywave is pretty good for gundams, $15 USD flat rate shipping, no taxes or brokerage fees, and shipped by UPS. I have not shopped from them, but all my gunpla friends swear by them.

I am itching to snap up my MG Unicorn and to pick up my MG Sinanju from a friend, sadly those gold stickers will take about 3 hours to apply on properly.

Saw that 1/100 00 Raiser boxset @ Silversnail Ottawa... for $99.99 :rolleyes: I know the exchange rate sux at the moment but $99.99 for a 5000 yen kit?

I have a small Epyon kit at home...I don't know what size, but I'd be surprised if it would be more than 12 inches tall assembled. I bought it years ago on clearance at a Hobby Store in Mississauga, $10...I've never taken it out of the box...I should probably build it. But I'll have to buy paints and everything...I have nothing that I'd need to build it.

I love hobbywave. Granted I haven't put together a kit in awhile, but most of my purchases have been through them

I've been thinking of buying a HGUC RX-78-2 (I think) for some time. Anyone have it too so they can give some thoughts about the kit? :)

Get the 30th Anniversary HGUC Gundam instead. More pose-able and better proportions.

[Icetron]

^ Is that the one that hasn't come out yet? I heard from a friend a while ago, I may pick that up.

Kits I'm planning to buy sometime this year or next year (hope to get at least one and build one before summer ends...) are: MG Infinite Justice, MG Sword Strike/Launcher Strike, and MG RX-78 One Year War. :) Force Impulse and Sword Impulse look awesome as well so I might pick those up sometime in the future too.

You can just order from Hobbywave, I think they're based in Burnaby.

[Icetron]

Hmm I never knew they were based in Burnaby, but for a store that close I still have to pay shipping, kind of lame how they won't let you pick up. Their prices don't seem too bad though.
