[GMK]

Any word on when the Wave 1/100 Strike/Super kits are due out?

Thanks.

It's up at Hobbysearch with an August release date.

Looks not bad but you can get the 1/48 Hasegawa kit for only a few yen more.

Don't know why it took WAVE so long to put this out, but I'm just glad the pre-orders are out.

It's available at HLJ as well.

If the prior kits are anything to go by, it should be a pretty decent kit.

It looks pretty cool. The sprues look like they left room for other stuff in the future. - MT

Kinda want these since Bandai dropped the hi metal line and I have my destroid conversion kit. What else do they have in this scale?

[GMK]

They really are nice kits. If Hasegawa did Gerwalks in either 72 or 48, or Battroids in 48, I'd stick with them. But the Wave 1/100 get my vote (cost aside). Now, where's the GPB-1?

Do wish they'd packaged it as Super/Strike, not just the strike, but that's just me.

I might have to get one of these. Do we know if they'll come with Roy and/or Max markings also?

The packs look a bit fat compared to the Hase kits IMO.

If I understood Hobbysearch's translation correctly, you need to buy a Battroid to get the Gerwalk mode.

I really like Wave's Battroids, but I constantly find myself disagreeing with their price policy.

Yep, you need to combine a battroid and fighter kit to make a Gerwalk.

Agreed that Wave kits are way over priced - these valks are 3/4 the size of a Hasegawa, have less detail (but arguably better sculpt) and cost just as much. And $30 for a 1/72 Legioss?! They do release some pretty good stuff, though.

Unfortunately, it's the price we have to pay for a niche product and a brand that has limited market presence.

Battroid is up for preorder at Hobbysearch.

Good times. Bring on the Super...

Do we need to paint this kit?
