zeo-mare Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 great news on the MK II it has been needing a upgrade for years now, i hope they get the Zeta next. chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azrael Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Okay, I can scrap my plans on getting a Mk. II and get this now. Any reason why a ver. 2 is being released? Is this a reissue or a resculpt for the Zeta movies? Or is it the same just fixes to the original version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anubis Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 The old Mk. II kind of sucked IMO. It's a floppy mess. Barely grips the weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F360 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 well MKII 2.0 sounds good, hope they will have a Zeta 2.0 next But still, the pricing of 4,200 yen seems higher than the normal striaght up Mobile suit with out packs. I hope it's worth it since the pricing of MG MKII is around $20 right now. Well I hope they'll come up with a Super Gundam (Metallic/Crystal) version of the Ver 2.0 Since I was never able to get the first version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stamen0083 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 4200 yen is the price with tax. HLJ's MSRP is 3800 yen. 1000 yen more than the first Mk-II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Anyone know what difference is for the MG Freedom and Z Gundam extra finish compared to the normal MG? Will it be like metalic plating or something. Just curious as if it looks good may pick up the Freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 yea it will be metallic plating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk-1S Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 yea it will be metallic plating 317190[/snapback] Thanks. Has there been any pictures released yet. 8000 Yen pretty pricy for just Metalic Plating. May have to pass it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeo-mare Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) none yet, but it will probably be the same as the normal kit only metallic looking. chris Edited August 4, 2005 by zeo-mare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfx Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The HCM pros always look better in pictures than they do in the box. Or maybe that's just me. I haven't bought a HCM pro yet. Apprehensive on the size:price ratio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hikuro Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 (edited) NO FREAKING WAY?! PERFECT GRADE FOR 30 DOLLARS?! That's not right.....it doesn't even list if its a sale or not, that's like 90% off....but the specs of the model look right.....4 pounds......guess its worth a shot right? Something isn't right though......30 bucks for the Char PG Zaku, yet still 150 for the RX-78-2? Okay I caved in couldn't stand the pressure and bought it.....if its not a PG Zaku I'm sending it back saying "Wha?! This isn't what I was ordering, FALSE ADVERTISMENT!"

F360° Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Yeah,, a $30 Perfect Grade Zaku doesn't really sound right but that's the price But if you compare it to the $20 Perfect Grade Zero Custom it's even more funny. Man, I just love Amazon pricing,, if only every store were like them. As for the PG RX-78-2, I'm pretty sure the price will drop to $30 or $20 within a couple of days, most likely Sunday morning/Saturday night. If anyone see it, please sent me a PM ..

Hikuro Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Well I can say that if this turns out to be right, and Wing Zero and even RX-78-2 turn out to be under the 30 dollar price range, you can bet I'll get those....but I'm just hoping that this PG Zaku is actually a Zaku and not that crystal armor crap.

slideshot Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Just oredered two PG Zakus. I wanted the PG Wing Zero or the RX-78 more, but I guess this is a close second. Funny thing is that I built a Char Zaku about a year ago. Maybe I'll build one in Tristar colors or something. Anyone want to trade a zaku for a wing zero or a RX -78?

Anubis Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 It's worth the risk. Order placed for 1 Zaku. If it's beat up or not the right thing I'll return it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolly Rogers Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Re: Kapools between ZZ and Turn-A, the difference is in size. The ones in Turn-A are visibly smaller than the ones from ZZ. The fact that they can ride on the Gallop in Turn-A proves they are junior in size to the ones seen in ZZ. I ordered the PG Char's Zaku and was unable to modify the order - the site claims this was sold through a 3rd party instead of TRU.com and when I tried to contact the seller via the Seller Profile link, there was no seller info other than a generic Amazon help page. Something is very, VERY wrong here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may well go on sale again, if they find stock in some warehouse somewhere, but chances of that seem very unlikely. The PG RX-78, however, will probably go on sale at some point in the very near future - at least we all hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's locked and can't be changed bacause the item is being packed for shipping. Amazon's been doing that lock business for a while now. It's kind of annoying, but at least when that happens the item actually ships that day. I'm keeping an eye on it, but I don't see anything fishy yet. Edit: Never mind, I see the itty bitty print now they put for the 3rd party business. Kind of odd. The seller is still ToysRus though which makes it odder. I guess we'll see how it comes out. At least it's shipping and not in limbo. (for now at least) I'll look everything over VERY carefully when it arrives. If one single part is missing or damaged it's back to the store. It links to a ToysRus "Toy Outlet" which would be for discountinued products. They put them there to clearance them out. It's a giant bargain bin basically. I guess the "outlet" stock is managed differently from the regular stock. Edited August 5, 2005 by Anubis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
