Anybody know of a reasonable location that's going to be selling that ZZ? I found exactly 1 place selling it for 45 bucks plus an absurd amount in shipping so that's not happening, but nowhere else seems to be selling it, just talking about its nebulous "october" release. Except Gundam-Central, which for some reason puts the release in November instead.
Want this damn kit but I can't find a single place to buy it.

I feel the same, but the mg selection is pretty lacking in comparison to the by one.

Will get PG Unicorn, cheaper than Neo Zeong. :3
I watched Wing fairly recently too (within the last year), and totally agree. It's awful. The characters are unlikable, the story is boring and nothing really makes any sense. Mech designs are awesome, and I really like Endless Waltz for the action, but it's such hot garbage overall. Even stuff I remembered really liking turned out to be bad. Seeing how terrible a Char clone Zechs is made me sad.
Just get it without LED set, like I'll probably do.

Really? I'm watching Wing right now for the first time and I got to say I rather like it. Well at least the parts without Relena and Wu anyway.

Watching it dubbed is even better. xD
And speaking of hot messes, dem G-Reco episodes. Tomino in full effect. G-Self and Grimoire look great doe.

I'm at work so I can't check that link. Is it raw or subbed
Subbed from the people doing the UK simulcast. Other episodes won't be available to those outside the UK and those in the UK will have to pay for the season if they want the rest.
Well none of the characters seem like real people to me. They're just there to look pretty and cool. They're all dolls.
And Relena's death fetish is actually probably the only interesting thing about any of them, as annoying and dumb as she is.
Granted I only made it to like episode 9. Maybe it gets better.
edit: Trez is really annoying too. That guy has "pre-teen girl fan service" all over him.
It's going to be a fun ride, I think.
It'll be colored. GundamGuy has colored images from the same convention where they announced PG Unicorn. AmiAmi is just using prototype photos.
Oh yeah, I totally agree. Ended up throwing it into my PG Unicorn order because it looked like so much fun. Seeing a lot of complaints that it's basically just the MG scaled down, but honestly that's super impressive in and of itself. The MG is great and there really isn't much to do with it without really fussing with the design. They added a ton of great option hands, which is all I personally would really want.
Just get some spray cans. easy.

Oh shit, the Neo Zeong psycho shard's on the way!

Should have been included wit the kit in the first place
I ordered it. Still have time to cancel, but probably won't. Had a Lego UCS Imperial Shuttle that was just kind of sitting around and decided that I was gonna get rid of it. Selling that will pretty much completely pay for the PG Unicorn+LEDs, and I already have a huge box coming from HLJ coming in December so I can save on shipping. It just ended up working out.
There will be lots of pictures when it comes. Cannot wait. My first PG.

That kit already has so much plastic and is super expensive for what it is. Cannot imagine increasing the base cost by adding that giant ring too.
duckroll wants that PG Exia announcement

First-time poster in this thread, have a question of sorts:
I've never actually watched any sort of Gundam before, and I don't watch anime. I do, however, enjoy building them, for whatever reason. The OT for whatever new Gundam anime (G conquistador something) made me curious about at least sampling some Gundam anime.
I guess I want to know if Unicorn Gundam, the anime is 1) good and 2) understandable for somebody who's never watched a second of Gundam in his life. I picked out Unicorn Gundam because I have the Ver. Ka MG model, and it's a relatively short series at only seven episodes.
This may sound obstinate, but I'm mainly here for the answer to the question above, and I'm not really looking for recommendations for longer series. Not because I'm not interested in it, but because I don't have a lot of free time, and I vastly prefer miniseries to drawn out programs.

I'm currently watching Unicorn and it seems like you need a general understanding of the Universal Century. The episodes are an hour each but I am enjoying them immensely.
I would actually suggest 08th MS team. It is about a squad and is just generally bad ass ground warfare with mobile suits.
I sort of feel like Unicorn is kinda heavily entrenched in Gundam terminology and history, so it might be a tough start out. I recommend either War in the Pocket or G/Wing first, but if you reaaaaally wanna dive in you gotta start right with Mobile Suit Gundam.
How lost will I be? I guess if it's *that* bad, I won't watch it
Do you know who Char is? Do you know what a Newtype is? Do you know who the Zabi family/Zeon is? Do you know the events of ZZ and CCA?How lost will I be? I guess if it's *that* bad, I won't watch it
I'd consider all of that to be required knowledge before going in.
Just watch Gundam Wing or G Gundam. Both of those require zero previous knowledge.

If UC is not your cup of tea, just watch G, Wing or SEED (Not SEED Destiny) Good shows without needing previous knowledge.
Thanks for the posts. I was mainly looking to watch Unicorn because it has my favorite design, but I might look into others.

Exia is one of the best goddamn Gundam designs ever.

It's particularly bad for me, because I LOVE the Gundams base, iconic, design. So I find most of the designs good but stay away from the ones in the bad series
I can do it for all of them except fucking AGE. Suit designs in that show were bad, and characters were just way worse.
