Those interested in the Gaia Gear radio drama, I found a Japanese subtitle (for us who know Japanese, but have poor listening) and English subtitle version on youtube.

I honestly don't know since it's the best one out of Domon's shuffle alliance and no, I'm not counting Schwartz as part of the shuffle alliance.

Dragon does have the best ultimate attack in the show.
Yes, better than Sekiha Tenkyouken.
Oh I hate Dragon Gundam.
It's got a neat arm gimmick but I easily prefer Altron's over Dragon for that and I love the Trident.
The only two suits in G that are any good are Shining and Spegiel to me.
Yeah that hurts no doubt.
Still it's not the worst list. I would have loved Super Heavy Weight God Gravion, but then again I want them to actually expand on Eiji piloting Grand Kaiser and his critics limit.
My bad. Meant to add this on my above post.

I can finally watch the 2nd episode of THunderbolt since its finally on gundam info (for america).
Heh, I'm the opposite. Frankly I find G Gundam's units some of my favorites in the series. So many click with me, probably because of the strange gundam/super robot look they have going.

OVAs for both, no third season yet.
Even if the Try OVA is just more Try, at least we're getting Gyancelot out of it.
Literal perfection.

I hope the guy with glasses behind her isn't her brother.
LOL.
I know I'm in the minority in my hatred of G mecha.
Still I get enough Super robot from ZZ, Wing EW, and Unicorn so I still got plenty of SR out of Gundam.

Glory of Losers Volume 11 cover. Do the ears and chest look different? Apparently that's a Zero System activation expansion gimmick thing. The ears open and the chest expands to show those green sensors.
MG Wing Zero EW 2.0 with that gimmick, calling it now
Yeah. It's interesting how much they keep changing Wing Zero's design.
That said you can clearly see how Katoki went from Unicorn and is bringing elements of it back into Wing.
It's even more surprise given how little they changed Snow White because Katoki's desire not to but are making major shifts to the Zero.

On re-reading Volume 10 it actually did look like that during the Epyon fight when the Zero System was activated. Shows how closely I paid attention :/
That would totally be a neat gimmick for a new MG.
Hey to be fair when they previewed Wing Zero/Epyon three years ago it had none of these changes.
I just don't understand the changes. Zero System is a data feed and it just makes the pilot more efficient and brings out the strength of the suit.
Granted early Wing had a glowing gold aura like G's super mode....I wonder if that is going to make a return at some point because Zero opening and having this transformation seems so damn pointless.
Isn't the expansion gimmick just exposing more sensors? In that case, using it for the zero system makes a bit of sense. More sensors for more data input.
The question is why are they covered up? I guess you could just BS an argument and say they're delicate tech and are covered up for defensive purposes most of the time or something like that.

That fails though when you think how Epyon and Proto Zero didn't have that but have a fully functional Zero System.
Plus while the chest maybe has sensor equipment there the head plates look like pure armor with vents.
Maybe the Wing Zero EW has a better version of the Zero System that just has more data? Maybe they tie some sort of weird MS speed overclocking to its activation as well, a la the Unicorn's NT-D.
I mean, we all know the real reason Katoki did it. It's cool looking. It's silly fictional Super Robot tech. I'm certain there are a million explanations you could make up.
LOL fair enough.
As it stands I'm just a spurned fan girl at this point. They just keep changing things and adding more and more changes and I'm still pissed at the ugly green sensor and black hands.
I don't mind the green head sensors. I think violet breaks things up a bit more and looks a bit different in a nice way, but green just gives it a standard gundam feel to me.
I could give or take the black hands vs white at this point as well.
Really hope we do get a Wing Zero EW 2.0 at some point soon. Original is still a good kit, but there are so many cool touches they could add to make it better and fit in with the later Wing kits a bit more. Also hoping we get Heavyarms Kai EW and Sandrock Kai EW soon. Both are easy customs anyway to make on your own, but I feel like the whole set should have official kits.
Given we didn't get Altron I feel we have zero chance of Sandrock.
Zero 2.0 and Heavy arms Kai are the only ones I'm thinking have a chance.
And those complaints are petty for sure, but I really like the unique aspects and removing those just feels wrong somehow.
We did get Altron as a P-Bandai exclusive. I own it, I should know. Kit definitely uses new parts for the Fangs as well and isn't just a MG with HG fangs. Only thing it didn't have was the new backpack stinger design the GotL version has equipped.
I meant as official releases standard releases.
P Bandai sucks for the majority of western Gunpla fans and for many might as well mean it didn't releaseven.
Sandrock Kai has only a shot at P Bandai and zero normal release.
I rather it get P-Bandai than nothing at all in the end. It sucks to have to pay middleman fees, but it's not all that hugely expensive over a retail release in the end.
That's not to say P-Bandai is perfect and doesn't need fixing, it does, but it's still better than nothing at all.
Given I biy 5 to 6 P Bandai kits a year I'm with ya.
It still sucks they choose to release Katoki designs instead of Endless Waltz variants as the standard releases.
Hm, this is a bit unfortunate. The 2 Master grades I ordered from HLJ are billed wrong. Apparently HLJ assumes that the billing address is the same as the shipping adress, which caused Fedex to (wrongfully) assume I'm ordering on behalf of the company I'm working for (I often ship stuff to my work as I can be sure I'll be there to accept the package). Now Fedex wants all sorts of company information for administrative purposes. I already contacted their Fedex support and they recommended I send a mail with my situation to their import email address. Did so and now I'll have to play the waiting game, I guess...
Anyone else got any experience with Fedex shipments that were billed incorrectly?

Depending on location, courier services could be required to do different paperwork if they feel they are delivering for a corporate entity instead of an individual.
I guess there's not much he can do then.

Does Shun makes these weird builds himself?
No, these are legit. Just like animal forms in Orphans.

Wait what? Legit people from Namco Bandai actually makes builds...in public...using butt plug egg things? And these guys are supposed to be less crazy than Kawamori and Tomino? Yeah fucking right.

Welp, they unexpectedly arrived. I still need to finish my Red Frame Kai and Blue Frame Second Revise lol. I started with Red Frame but it went really slow when I decided to try and paint it with a gundam marker. Turns out that some parts are simply too complex geometry-wise to paint with a marker. Waiting for some proper paint supplies now.

I wish Thunderbolt wasn't nearly 100$
And where can I get that gorgeous sound track!?

You could always import the cheaper standard edition from Amazon.jp along with the soundtrack. Though the cost of shipping may be a bit more than it would be domestically.
