MasterOfPuppets Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 The gold that they used on this Mastergrade looks very bling, bling. unlike the suckie wannabe gold used on their 1/100. From what I've heard, the full burst version has gold chromed pieces whereas the regular kit isn't chromed. And hot damn I want that so bad now...

Well if it doesn't include the stand then how can you display it in Full-Burst mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSP Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 You can buy the Bandai action base . Which happen to look exactly like the base from the full burst set . Bandai Action Base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excillon Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 That kit is psycho. I for one am glad that I am not that into Gundam, and secondly not that competant a modeller. Yeah, but the G-system stuff is so damn nice...and on top of that it's 1/35! That is freaking huge! 1/35 would be like what, 18 to 20 inches roughly? Good god! If I had the 1300 to blow on that I would. As it stands now being married with a kid and another coming in 3 months, I have to beg for a Master Grade, and flat out start showing tears for a Perfect Grade (How I got my Mk.II).

Excillon Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I've built MG and PG, but I don't know if I could take on a 3 foot resin kit.I don't even really paint my kits now except for the thrusters, weapons, panel lining/details, and a touch of weathering. However, I am seriously considering one. Just don't know if it's worth selling the motorcycle to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excillon Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I have ordered: Master Grade Gundam Wing Zero Custom Master Grade FAZZ (Sentinel) Master Gride Strike Gundam with IWSP Master Grade Strike Freedom Gundam (No review yet) I'm so happy Welcome to the fold! The Wing Zero MG is nice. However, I think the Strike with IWSP is you're best choice. The Sentinel is great too, has a few problems posing with the big gun, but still worth it. And when you're done with those, you should check out the Mk.II 2.0 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Wing Zero custome, personally I thin kit's just the same as Version Kai but with the Angel Wings....not much you can do to improve that. Fazz is one of those beefy gundams I've always wanted but too expensive for my taste as a MG......now the IWSP, it's just like the other two Strikes just a better equipment pack in my opinion lol. Oh I just forgot, I got a HG 1/100 Inifite Justice dirt cheap at a gradge sale, hasn't been put together....I really feel for Athrun, poor guy with Pink Gundams......I'll diffenetly be fixing it to look less queerish then it does...I'll more it look more red, but the maroon.....hmmm that'll be tough to come up with a decent color.

Remember those $20 W0C kits from Amazon, bought a few of them back then and thinking about getting conversion kit for one of them., you know anything about them?

promethuem5 Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 I really don't know about any conversion kits, but if you have pics, I'd be interested to see... are the kits you bought MG or the older 1/144 HG or NG ones? I had Deathscythe and Wing Gundam in the old 1/144 line, and loved them until they broke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 The W0 ver. Ka and WZC are drastically different... Personally I don't see much of a difference between the two besides armor differences, but I would think the skeletal build up of the frame would be exactly the same.

Are you saying you didn't know about the $20 pg w0c sales on amazon? i think hobbyfan carries a conversion kit(not in stock now), and i think its over $100. thanks anyway.

promethuem5 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I knew about the amazon sales... got the PG RX-78-2 for like 50 bucks... heard some not so great things about the durability of the WZC, so I didn't get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 there are a few things on the pg w0c that bother me. first of all, part of the internals are made with softer plastic, imo they are harder to clean up and the gaps don't line up as well as I would hope for any pg kit. secondly, the backpack seems a little weak to me for holding up those four wings. and then in order to take of the the forearm armor, one will have to take apart the whole section. What I really like is the metal core section. but these is just how I feel about this kit. at $20, I shouldn't complain. too bad I don't think it should be played too much after it done and painted.

Hikuro Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Just did a lil clean up on the I-Justice, I really made a bad choice I think going with an Italian Red to cover up the pink......but it's only the first coat and I wont be putting in the next till the morning and then touching up after that...but it really looks too damn glossy. My choices were Metalic Red, Italian Red, Dull Red, Mica Red, Maroon, RedBrown, Bright Red. I should of gone with the Dull Red....it looked great when it was on my Sazabi.

Hikuro Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well after inhailing alot of paint and 2 coats of red, it's not turning out too bad, I can consider this a "pass" so far....I still got another tree to go and I still can't even assemble the model probably another week since I need more paint for the rest of the model. The white though looks good. I think I'll pick up Maroon for the flight pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The durability isn't all bad. As with all "winged" gundams like the Zero, Freedom, etc. It's not as balanced as say...the Mk.II for example. Personally, I have one, but I also have the Endless Waltz version and personally had I known the MG Zero then, I would have gotten something else because I think the HG is a very good representation of the Zero at 1/2 the price. Some paint, some detailing and they're almost the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360° Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 errr, people.. $19.99 for a Offical Bandai Perfect Grade that sells for over $100 pretty much everywhere else is a no brainer. Logics tell you to buy it no matter what. PG Gundam Wing zero custom $19.99 Sold out pretty quick , then after awhile amazon restocked it,, happen for on and off for about half a year. Then comes the PG Zaku II (red) $29.99 took awhile for the news to get out and then took some more time for the item to sell out becuase it's a Zaku, it's pretty much all about Gundam Wing in the USA for some strange reason. Then amazon restock it, and then they jack up the price to $39.99 which is still a good price. Finally comes the PG RX-78-2 for $74.99, it last for a pretty long time at this price and then it jumped back up. I didn't hear anything about the PG Rx-78-2 dropping to $49.99, so I guess i missed out. There master grade sales was crazy too, if only there was a Macross sale on amazon.com.

I bought a few of the w0c kits and gave one to my boss's kids around the third time they restocked them, I was going to ebay some of them but so did everybody else. I guess I'll build a couple of them and hang on to the rest for a while. I also got a couple of the green zaku pg, I think they were $30. Too bad I missed the red zaku sales. However, I didn't realy want the rx-78 pg even when it was $50, I just feel it's a little fat. Oh and I think I've got at least a dozen each of those $5 mg gm's and zaku's(red and green), 6 or so NT's and Kampfer's, and pretty much every kits that were on sales then ofter other than the gp01. It was sweet, all those for less than four mg, I wish somebody would do this again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In case no one has mentioned it, it comes with both plated and non-plated gold frames, the regular stand AND the Action Base which will be available soon.
