We're Back!

Okay, well after a crazy..CRAZY week, I'm back.

Sorry for being MIA there gang, and thanks Q for sending comments, even in my absence! Glad to see you're still checking in -

Okay, well, I should update the situation on the GPO4..because I've gone completely crazy over the design. As stated in the last post, I found a private dealer on Ebay. Yes, Q, you're right, kinda sketchy, but the guy is legit has nothing but positive feed back and assured me his products are 100% G-System made. And seems G-Systems won't get back to me, I'll take the risk. Now, the GPO4 he had wasn't a finished version, but he is going to finish it for me. Again, another risk, but I was given assurance that the final product will look exactly like the picture to the right. We'll see what happens, as it'll be about a month before its done. The things I do for Gundam sometimes....

I've run my funding into the ground though so it will be a while before I make any new purchases. As luck would have it, my fiancee called me at 5:30 am this morning (in the US) because she was in the electronics store in Kawasaki picking me up a couple of HCM Pro Gundams...just because she loves me that much....awesome sauce. I was pretty groggy but after she listed off to me what was available, I got to pick the Gundam Deathscythe....

And the Wing Gundam...

Again...awesome sauce. Both the Wing and the Deathscythe come with display stands I believe, so I may take the Deathscythe's and donate it to the Impulse Gundam (with some minor modifications), which will look great I think.

I know some of you don't care too much for the HCM Pro's (Ngee, I think you said you're not a big fan) as they come pre-assembled, but for being pre-assebled, and basically action figures, I honestly love the little guys. Plus it is a good thing they are, seems I have plenty of MG kits to assemble.

Which brings me to the final part of this post: The Crossbone's legs are nearly complete. I've got pictures, but I'll upload them when I finish the kit and do a whole "kit" review type of thing. Next up on my list is the hip armor pads and weapons...followed by the skirt armor, and arms, and finally the chest and head. The ABC cloak will be last but that's because I have a secret plan to use for getting a great looking cloak as the kit comes with a god-awful nylon-ish thing..utterly useless.

So that's the scoop. I'll post tomorrow on my review of SD Gundam G Generation Portable for the PSP.

Jaa~

Crazy: An Update III

Q's comment on the last post reminded me I need to post an update. Unfortunately, I'm so swamped with work this week, that's all I have time for.

Yes, unfortunately, the Gundam and GP04 heads were out of stock. And what's worse, I've become so taken with the GP04 design that I've gotten even MORE crazy and started a search for a finished kit while passing, for now, on the Z Gundam head. I like the Z, but not that much. And certainly not as much as the GP04.

What I found was the Gundam Proshop on Ebay. He's a private seller, of sorts, but I'm currently working out details to have a finished GP04 done for me, and possibly* in a custom color scheme (mainly switching the blue for combat orange/red...I like the blue, but that sure would look nice!)

We'll see what happens. The worst case scenario would be, I'd just order the unfinished kit and test my skills to the utmost max.

Until next time,

Ja matta~

*I doubt this will fly, but we'll see what kind of response I get


-----------------------------------------------

On a side note, part of my funding for this is an auction on Ebay where I'm selling my makeshift Decepticon Collection. Pay a visit if you'd like. If you're interested, let me know and I can certainly cut my readers a deal on the price.

Crazy: An Update

After all weekend and no word from G Systems on my last post, I emailed them again to see what the deal was.

After a short while I received very polite email apologizing for the delay but also letting me know that the RX-78-2 Bust was out of stock.

I emailed back stating that I understood and would like to go for the GPO4 then (I have a soft spot for the GPO4...plus...just look at it!). I haven't heard back, but considering it was 11Pm in Asia when I replied, I'll wait until tonight with patience. I hope it's in.

Also, I've decided this isn't so crazy. I'm totally making up the money by selling some things on Ebay...most notably, my Masterpiece Megatron and Transformer Collection. Sad to see him go, but Megatron doesn't hold a candle to Gundam in my book (Sorry Megs! Don't blast me for that).

Anywho...I realize the last two posts are basically me rambling. Work is crazy and I have to get back. I took pictures of the X1's legs (complete inner frame and feet) that I finished and I'll post on that tonight or tomorrow.

Until then -

Ja matta~
