Your builds are great as usual. I'm especially impressed with you painted pilot figures. Fantastic!

Thank you! Painting the pilot figs is one of my favorite parts of the build although it usually ends up delaying everything because its the very last thing I do.

Common question, but will ask again since availability/production of what's out there changes so frequently:

Suggestions for a cheap spray-can flat-coat?  My best model ever was my MG Wing, but as I obsessively made it DEAD flat in every nook and cranny, that meant I did a full 3D-spraying of each piece of armor separately.  And heavily. That was like, 3 cans of Tamiya TS-80.   I don't want to spend/waste that much ever again, and I think Epyon would require even more spraying due to so many angles/separate pieces.    (mist coats of TS-80 behave very differently than heavy coats, I found--heavy ones actually have a much more even, and flatter, final dried finish)

So, I'm looking for a "cheaper" way to get a dead-flat finish on MG Epyon (and my next Zaku).   And I am leaning a bit towards spraying sub-assemblies, rather than every piece separately this time.   

Spraying sub-assemblies would definitely save you some of the flat coat. Just be sure to bend the joints after the the first coat to get coverage on the entire joint. When I used to use the cans I usually went through a can per kit. Also I dont think you need to spray a really heavy coat of flat finish, unlike gloss I found that flat doesnt need much to dull the finish. 

Finished MG Kyrios.

I remember having the armor plus and quickly getting rid of it 

My AE package with stuff dating back to May came in. They used a company called ECMS Global to ship and it was delivered by USPS. It was basically airmail at EMS prices because it took 2 weeks to get to me. Just waiting on Bandai September items to release and im done with AE until shipping gets back to normal.

Fingers crossed Bluefin has them at some point. That Tamashi web exclusive stuff seems way too hard. How are you guys getting that stuff? From what I understand proxy's aren't an option???

Thats what I understood from their warning. I'll ask a friend to try and get them for me but im not 100% sure if he will be able to help

Quite an improvement IMO.

That was my biggest complain and why I passed on RGs. Looks great!! Have you shopped from that site before?

Got the Wing Zero Snow White from Bluefin and box was a little smashed but not too bad. Unlike the recent DBZ exclusives this was double boxed.

man P-Bandai US site is so behind. They don't even have the new Stormbringer variant up yet for Preorder so might be a while before the new MG AOZ stuff shows up there

Agreed, that new Hazel already sold out of the 1st shipment  2nd batch is now scheduled for February, I might just bite the bullet and order from Japan.

Need these!!!

Holy crap I need them as well!! Wonder if we will get them in the US P-Bandai store... shipping kits from Japan right now is expensive 

Wonder if they are excluding anything to lower the price point... The recent Kid Goku exclusive that looked the last years SDCC exclusive came with less stuff at a lower price point.

At first, they told me than it is possible to send my order by DHL but it will be expensive. Then I asked about price and didn't get answer since middle of July. I sent a few emails and requests with repeated question by webform but with same result.

So, the problem is with customer service, i think the Tenso will not help in my case. I don't know how i can contact with AE!

Same thing happened to me I asked that I wanted to ship my stuff. They told me that they could ship DHL but its more expensive. I said ok how do I request it and they never responded after that.
