Nothing really recent, most recent I think is the Extreme Blast Destiny that comes with a Kira and Shinn figure.



I've never done replacement runners from them but they're a really good and really nice local Hobby Shop for me. About 30-40 minutes away when I visit San Jose.
They provide a lot of services like letting you use their airbrush and compressor and limited items. I figured they might do something to help a customer.

Maybe try providing them the replacement cutout in your manual as well.

Na mean the ultra tiny ones. The ones that normally have a cockpit version as well as a just standing one.

Then yes, most modern kits do have one. The recent Hyaku Shiki actually comes with 4, 2 sitting and 2 standing.

Don't worry about that since only sentient kits like the Shin Musha Gundam don't have a pilot.

Your salt only sustains him.

Is Riddhe the most accomplished whiner in Gundam?
Click to expand...

I think he takes it over Shinn.

While we may have had to put up with Shinn's shit for 50 episodes, Riddhe
not only managed to very quickly get a pass from everyone, but was allowed to play a key role down the stretch
.

Shinn spent the last moments of Destiny in tears, hopefully realizing how much a piece of shit he was.

Flit wasn't a whiner per se, but he got a fucking statue at the end of AGE after trying to commit genocide.

Now that I think about it Shinn didn't
kill the best girl in the series right after she finally found a way to live peacefully and find her father figure.

To be fair Flit was still a good developed character regardless of how backwards he is.

His shittiness gave a great character in ASEMU ASUNO.

Speaking of Infinite Justice, I always wondered what happened to Justice after the first war. I guess IJ is just Justice retro-fitted with new technology.

I feel sorry for my American/Euro/Aus modeling friends.... All the Bandai Star Wars kits are now basically P-Bandai level of availability. Really sucks... Thanks Revell.

Crazy, I just watched that a few months ago and I swear I totally forgot all of that. He doesn't have a good track record with equipment, it seems. But really, you can't sell new kits unless you destroy em.

Lemme read the wiki. On a side note, do they ever refer to I.J. and S. F. by those names in the anime, or do they just call them Justice and Freedom? I believe that was the case.

I think the Strike Freedom name was used once by Lacus during its debut. Afterwards it was just called Freedom.

They never called IJ by its full name, it was always just Justice.

Random tidbit about how Freedom got so banged up at the end of SEED, because I know too much for my own good. You know Providence was destroyed by the GENESIS misfire, the Providence's nuclear reactor exploding is what torched Freedom so badly.

Alot of people think Freedom got caught in the GENESIS blast but if you watch carefully you can see that's not quite the case.

Saw the first posts in this page about RG Infinite Justice, then went right away to the previous one looking for the announcement and turns out the blog itself updated saying it was a mistake.

Broken heart here, haha. I'm looking forward to RG Infinite Justice and here's hoping Bandai's 'mistake' was just a slip up and that it'll actually happen eventually. It'll give me the excuse to grab RG Strike Freedom too, which I've been putting off for a while because I feel like my shelf would become TOO Freedom-ish w/o his partner in crime, lol. But now I totally want both Freedom/Justice and SF/IJ together!

I still believe. The rumor was hushed within a few hours, though. We'll see.

Finally got a lot of Gunpla that I was waiting for. I also got a black gundam marker and an action base. HLJ even threw a bunch of weird weapons that I didn't ask for, guess it's some kind of promotion that I didn't pay attention. Now I'm only getting more in mid 2016, being optimistic :(

Anyways, going to start later and I have no clue how to use this marker so good luck for me.

edit: Just noticed that I bought a brown marker instead of a black one :(

Yaaay

Gundam SEED - 43

Wha?...

So...Rau is a clone of Mu la Flaga's dad? And Kira is the "ultimate coordinator?" Is this where all the Jesus Yamato stuff that everybody talks about starts? Because this is sounding more to me like the old "main character is the ultimate achievement created for humanity" cliché that's been done before so many times. What does any of this have to do with Kira symbolizing Jesus?

I don't think any of that has to do with calling him Jesus. The things that happen later on and in the future do though. Although I figure it can be said of certain other characters...

Kira gets his Jesus hood in Destiny if I'm not mistaken, granted Kira should've been killed in Seed anyway.
Seriously a nuke goes off in his face and he survives that shit? Get the fuck out of here!!!

Gundam seed is just a prequel, seed destiny is where the bible start.

Has that ever been explained in universe or can Seto Kaiba do that too?
Click to expand...

Heart of the Cards/Soul of a Duelist, depending on which version your watching.

Kaiba has gotten some pretty good draws when he needs them, but nothing close to the hax level of Yugi.

Even I call bullshit on that move he pulled that I mentioned earlier.
It was Metal Reflect Slime, the card he got from Kaiba specifically to counter Marik's Ra.

TBF, that wasn't a
nuke. Not only in canon (N-Jammers), but also in terms of the strength of the explosion. It's not an offensive feature of GATX suits. It's a security feature in the event of being rendered unable to sortie in the battlefield that prevents the tech from falling into the hands of enemy researchers. If you recall, Strike wasn't even totaled by the explosion. It was in relatively good shape and was back in action before too long. HOWEVER, he still should have been severely burned, given the cockpit was cut open. Athrun rocketed away about 100 meters and still got hospitalized. Athrun doesn't even have a 1st degree burn on his body. Ended up the property of devout Catholic Lacus Clyne.

Ok, I'll admit to over exaggerating on the nuke bit,
but his seat was still pretty charred, which he was strapped to and the Aegis blew up 2 feet away from that, and Kira had a front row seat to that cause of the hole in his cockpit. Kira surviving or being thrown from the cockpit still never made any sense to me. Shit even Kojima explained why Paz is still alive in MGS V and we all thought she died from a crotch bomb explosion from Ground Zeroes.

Didn't know I'd be getting MGSV here. Although there was that trailer so I'm not too hurt.

I don't remember when but I suspended my disbelief entirely with SEED when it came to Kira. Whenever I go back I can just enjoy the nonsense.

I have no idea. I was seriously going to ask someone how he might have survived. It makes no sense whatsoever.

Preach the good word.

Kira died for our sins.



He spent the majority of 100 episodes taking one L after another.

Say what you want, but he was a better person than Kira. Yeah sure he may have killed the best friend of his childhood friend, but at least he didn't steal his woman and the beat the shit out of him afterwards. Also not his fault that he couldn't unlock hax mode at will like Kira, most of his piloting feats were of his own pure skill. I guess I just like him so much cause he's awkward and flawed, but very good natured.

And he gets the nice suits. I feel for him trying to find a way to do the right thing. Even if it leads to regret he doesn't give up on it so kudos.

Plus he cared about his crew, even that hot head Yzak. One of my favorite Destiny moments is when he joins up with those guys again. Plus he dates the more sane women from the Seed franchise. I really don't think he liked Meer that way, just wanted to help her out.

Him getting good character development helped instead of turning into a walking cheat code like Kira. Dude is practically a game shark device in Destiny after he gets the Strike Freedom.
