    I have one OO finished. I didn't paint it and it looks pretty rubbish.

    The rest of mine are still on their sprues, I've been meaning to get around to painting and assembling them.

    I am.
    Actually, I'm looking to buy some. Does anyone have any for sale? On sprues or not, even built.
    I don't know where to get them in Ireland, or online for good prices. Anybody know any good online sites, or shops in Dublin that sell them?
    Ebay has a few, so I'll try there.
    I really want some!

    Only have a couple with me, 1/100 Exia, Dynames, Kyrios and Virtue are back home in my old room. Nothing painted as I don't have an airbrush....yet. Fun even just snap - fitting them though.

    1: Got MG Kampfer & Zeta from my sis in China
    2: MG RX-78-2 One Year War version, best MG of this mobile suit I reckon.
    3: Its not gay, its just going Super Saiyan.... 1/144 Trans-Am 00 Gundam (Got Trans-Am 0 Raiser in a box)

    Gonna hopefully pick up a MG Zaku II 2.0, MG RX-79[G], MG Gouf Custom and MG Aile Strike when Im in Hong Kong and Tokyo soon. :D


    edit : Oh, and WANT!

    Hey man, never found any for sale in Forbidden Planet, or any of the hobby shops around Dublin.

    I buy my stuff from Ebay, usually from sellers in Hong Kong. Usually around €30 for a master grade inc P&P.

    Check out the below online stores too.

    What ebay sellers do you buy from?

    Hobby Link Japan is about the best place for them, I find.

    Try gundamnation.co.uk
    The guy was at nom-com with a huge section of stuff.
    I have 2 1/100 master grade kits and over 40 built 1/144 kits.
    I have still about 5-10 kits to build also.
    I have some Wing, G-Unit, HG-OO, HGUC and HG-Seed.

    Ebay is a good place to buy, Hobbylink Japan, Gundam Nation and Gundam Mad are also good.
    I haven't seen the kits for sale anywhere in Ireland for a long time, but Sub-City in Galway have ordered them from Diamond for me, but at a very expensive price.

    If you're looking for Wing models don't but the 1/100, the proportions are way off and they're slightly odd looking.

    HG Wing 1/100 or Mg Wing 1/100?


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,487 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    HG Wing 1/100 or Mg Wing 1/100?

    HG for sure not sure about MG. I have all these and the torso is small with huge legs, this may only apply to the custom editions from endless waltz.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5 jordanator1


    Okay. I'm thinking of getting the 1/100 Nebula Blitz destiny kit. Do you know if it it's any good?
