ANON MEME

THERE'S PG 00 RAISER NEWS TODAY ;_________;

SPECIAL PRIZE FOR THE INITIAL BATCH OF RELEASE 8D

Preordering this at the speed of light...once its price is out of course. ):

*goes to read f-list*

EDIT:
These figurines are terrifying. D8";

EDIT:
Word. XDDDDD You can put 10 Setsuna cosplayers beside the kits, and I'll pay more attention to kits than to the cosplayers. But if it's Miyano Mamoru, it miiight be a different story 9_9

Also, lmao I really like the way these forum members talk. When they see preview of kits that spark their interest, they say they're getting 'poisoned'. xD

So more kits = more poison lmao.

It's really that beautiful and it's only of work of progress SO YESSS PG SPAZZ IS IN ORDER LMAO.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Needs more details besides lineart and this prototype. XDDDD It shouldn't take too long now, seeing as it's going to be September soon, I hope.

[identity profile] chuukoku.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
*sniffle* Which will be really cool...than it is right now? It'll probably be one of my last gunpla I'll be buying unless there are other gunplas tempt me ahaha x__o

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
00 Quanta~

00 Quantaaaaa~


8D?

[identity profile] chuukoku.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
...

I don't know whether to spazz, laugh, or cry.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Cry with me, and then we'll buy NG 1/100 together. xD

I bet you a MG will come out some years down the road. Or in 2011, seeing how quickly Bandai is churning out 00 goodies.

[identity profile] chuukoku.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
omg that would be ridiculous. I think the only other gunpla I might be tempted to get is Masarao(?) It has the black and red colors. Bandai loves to cashcow on the popular gundam series anyways. B|

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Susanowo. XD Masurao is only released as a RD, sadly. x_X And yeaaaah, look at all the Zaku variations and the endless versions of RX-78-2.

[identity profile] chuukoku.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
URRRGH, lame. :| And I can imagine since they have a lot at TnJ and other mech stores. And I hardly Exia, Dynames, and/or 00 Gundam gunpla kits here :s

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Obviously you should come here because we have a sizeable number of 00 gunpla here 8Db

[identity profile] chuukoku.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
And obviously if I was, I'd spend a whole ton of money and...go over my budget oh god. XDDD

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
HAHA you'll need extra luggage to bring back your 'souvenirs'. XDDDD Also, gunpla is cheap-ish here, so you actually save a bit by buying stuff from here hahaha.

[identity profile] chuukoku.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 01:11 am (UTC)(link)
Mmm sounds great. Hoping for that and maybe some Setz merch haha. 8) I want to buy the copics now too since the prices here are 6 bucks one marker lmao.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
LMAO Setz merch <3333333

It's SGD4-ish for one here. XDDDD I don't know if they have them in sets, but they should.

WHY DOES SEED HAVE SO MANY FIGURES

AND WHY CAN'T I FIND THE FLLAY FIGURE I WANT

WHY

AND WHERE ARE MY 00 S2 FIGURES

WHY

WHYYYYYYYYY

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
XDDDD What is the Fllay figure that you want? D:

And damn, where are the S2 figurines indeed? My friend showed me this really gorgeous Sumeragi figure (http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f396/Morr-chan/1251637738990.jpg), but it's a garage kit. .__.

[identity profile] dijeh.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
It's a Gashapon one, I think, where she's wearing that green uniform thingy. (I haven't gotten to that part of the show yet, but she intrigues me and..yeah. lol.)

Haha, I posted that one on /m/. I actually jumped out of my seat when I first saw it, but then realised it wasn't official. Sob. Considering 00's popularity, the lack of figures is suspect. >:

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 09:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh darn, I don't have that one. ): I wish I had bought the entire set that particular figurine came from haha.

Yeah. ;__; Figma and Revoltech are scaring Bandai off or something. xD

[identity profile] dijeh.livejournal.com 2009-08-31 10:24 am (UTC)(link)
Do you still have that selling post up? I might check it out a little. Oh and I found that figure on ebay, but it was for 30+ dollars (including shipping) and hell naw, I'm not paying that much.

Idk man, S1 girls had tons of figures. I think the only ones without any were Kinue, Shirin and Louise's mum. And that says something. My guess is that they think only SD boy figures appeal to girls and the kits appeal to boys, which is retarded. Oh, and Desu, who got two figures, but..really. Wish she had a different pose, I might have bought one.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 02:01 am (UTC)(link)
Here it is (http://community.livejournal.com/brb_soup/7778.html#cutid2)! Warning for stock photos. And don't be scared by the prices lmao, they actually include both shipping AND Paypal fees. Feel free to negotiate prices lower too - I'm not really in need of money right now. I just want space. T_T I'm pretty sure I have at least 2 Fllay figurines which aren't included in that post, but I have to check. One is from Heroines 1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Gundam-Seed-Heroines-Part-1-Gashapon-Lacus-Figure-4-pc_W0QQitemZ180257798565QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item29f833b9a5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) and she's in pretty bad condition [I bought her second hand]. The other is from Heroines 2 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Rare-Gundam-Seed-heroines-figure-gashapon-part-2-lacus_W0QQitemZ330242698104QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4ce3ffab78&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14) - I need to check if I still have her lmao.

I wish I knew what Bandai was thinking. B| But your guess might actually be applicable to Japan, which meant that the Portrait figurines didn't do as well as they expected so they scrapped it and concentrated on other things. Like the many, many versions of 00 Raiser, the 1/100 Designer Colors that are going to be released as normal items instead of limited items and the 1/144 Trans-Am versions of the S1 kits.

[identity profile] dijeh.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 09:48 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, so THAT's where the post was! Adding it to my memories now and hoping I'll like more characters from CE, hahah. (Boy, you have a lot of Lacus, don't you) And the first Fllay looks good, but I don't know about the quality...

It's still quite unfair. But I guess 00 was lucky compared to ZZ (a UC series nonetheless) which got, like two figures for two characters. Well, anyway, Haman still got like 935798437 ,figures, but that's another story. (->never understood the hype about her) DON'T FORGET HG 00 GUNDAM WITH GN SWORD III I hope it's Designer's Colours, so I don't have to buy the whole 00-Raiser set.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
(Lacus is in every figurine set. ;_; And I used to buy my figurines in sets, so I accumulated an army of Lacus as a result.) If you like, I could check it again xD If I remember correctly, she probably isn't too loved or anything - I have Cagalli from the same set and she's quite beaten up though. >_> So yeah.

People didn't fully understand the power of figurines back then. And oh my god, the normal 00 Raiser + GN Sword III, I shook my head when I saw the news on NK. .__. inb4 it's not designer colors so it gives Bandai a reason to release yet another one. The pics on NK are kind of LQ, but it doesn't look like designer colors to me. I don't know.

[identity profile] dijeh.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 10:46 am (UTC)(link)
(Lmao, I noticed that too. And, truth be told, I don't like her, at least from the first 15 or so episodes of SEED I've seen. She's too much of a fairy for me. Sure, she has had a pretty badass scene where she commands Rau to stop fighting, but I'd rather she weren't so sugary sweet all the time. And I swear, Pink-chan has got Tourettes.) I've got some figures I want to sell too, but my procrastination skills are horrible and I've yet to find decent wrappers and all. I've seen Fllay hated by A LOT of people and with quite good reason. But I like her. She reminds me of Louise in a way, with her transition from normal, spoiled girl to someone whose life is destroyed in a second. Well, Louise was more REVENGE RAWWWR CB DIE DIE, while Fllay is more cunning. Heh.

True words. I just saw it too, those are the normal colours. Bleh. I guess I'm still going to buy the set without the GN sword III. They could, you know, release a Hellion instead of ANOTHER 00, but, yeah, whatever. (I'd love to have a Hellion)

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 11:10 am (UTC)(link)
(Lmfao Pink-chan. XDDD The Haros were degraded to become toy mascot robots. And Lacus, Lacus, she's preeetty much like that for the rest of the series. .___. And she's the most popular girl in GS/GSD anyway. She's like a Mary Sue hahaha.) Just use bubble wrap and bubble mailers hahaha. And yeah, I wasn't very enamoured with Fllay, but looking back now, she's actually really well done. And people draw parallels between Kira/Fllay and Saji/Louise. I once saw a secret that said that Saji/Louise was Kira/Fllay done right. It's also the same one that said it didn't care for the mecha, and caused a storm in /m/ as a result. xD

More grunt mechs please. ;___; ANFs, Fantons, Katharon Color mechs, even the 00V suits could use some love. Only Avalanche Exia made it into kits.

[identity profile] dijeh.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
(I swear, he curses every two minutes. Just what did Athrun do to him, lol. Oh, boy. She's giving me diabetes, and not in a good way. She's too god damn ^_______^ ALL THE DAMN TIME. Maybe...maybe she'll have some kind of interior conflict? ...anything?) Yeah, I've been saving bubble wrap from the packages I received. I'd lol and baww if nobody buys anything, aahhaha. Just all the preparation. |D Dunno, man, Kira, unlike Saji, is made to be a hero. Saji is too...normal. But the Fllay/Louise parallel is all right. Well, now that I think about it, the similarities for the four of them are superficial. And oooh, shipping.

It's Exia, what do you expect? D: I'd love to see kits of Nadleeh Akwos, Cherudim SAGA, Seravee 3G, all GN-X variations (including Throne Varanus), GRM Gundam, Shell Flag, Astraea that's not conversion pack, Suille Enact, black Plutone and Empruss. NOT THAT MUCH HUH. Oh and, have you seen the Regnant post on NK's blog? It's huge.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
(Not that I remember ahaha. Some unpleasant stuff did happen to her, but I think she recovered pretty fast from her own setbacks. xD) lmao I made a post on [livejournal.com profile] gundamseed months back and no one bought anything. People got scared off by my gargantuan prices. *should just slash all the prices to USD5* Just like the Meisters/Gundam Wing Pilots comparison and the Marina/Macross parallel. |D

I want to see a Seravee 3G kit so BADLY. ;_____; Damn, you have Seravee, Seraphim, and two other units. It's an entire army by itself. And Nadleeh Akwos, and everything. And yes, I have!! *A* 50 cm in wingspan as a MA, and 30 cm in height as a MS. Oh my godddd. ♥♥♥

(Well, yeah. She wasn't even that phased when she got taken as a hostage, blagh.) Haha, I don't think the prices are that big. Maybe people weren't interested anymore? It happens. But what am I going to do with all those figureeesss. Ugh, I hate it when that happens. Maybe you should try some forums? Mechatalk has got a subforum dedicated to sales and stuff. The Wing parallel I understand, even though the fact that some people actually believe 00 is a remake of AC enrages me to no end. But Marina/Macross? RIDICULOUS. She sang with and for a bunch of orphans in the middle of the war to calm them down and then the song spread on the radio without anyone knowing who she was. I don't see Marina having concerts and becoming famous. In that post-series untranslated interview (damn it), the staff specifically said they didn't want Marina to be portrayed as a singer from SEED or Macross. Damn it, fandumb, damn it.

The SEMS, I love them. They're so small and elegant and guh. Pretty. And the colour scheme is cool. I just read your post about it. :) It's the biggest RD ever released. Such a monster. Imagine if a non-rookie had piloted it. HAVOC.

[identity profile] ratiosu.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think people's interest in GS/GSD are dying. Until that movie that they keep saying will be released is finally on screen and revives people's interest. I regret buying them in sets now lol, but knowing my luck, I wouldn't have gotten the figurines I wanted, and eBay's prices are big. And yeah, I was considering Hardwarezone, but I'm so lazy and I don't have a good camera to take pics of the stuff I want to sell. xD Aliens in the movie + singer = ~MACROSS CLEARLY~. One of my friends was raeging over the comparison. My god, how shallow can people get. And lmao, I almost want to study Japanese just so I can translate those untranslated interviews. They're like a goldmine of untapped info. I've had it with news of Innovade genders and other stuff which have been reported over and over.

Oh man, I only just now read about Seravee 3G's ability. Spreading Trial System over the entire battlefield. O_O Holy shoot.
And yeaaah. I bet you if a cool non-rookie character piloted Regnant, there would be less people calling it a hax mech. B| And jgdslk god someone was saying the bending laser beams made 'no sense'. I wish I had your article back then so that I can link it and make the person look extra stupid. Meh.

[identity profile] dijeh.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, the shows are already about seven years old, right? Although there are FAR older fandoms, I don't think the LJ one is that focused on mechs, battles and politics. I remember reading a secret on FSecrets a while ago about the fandom not writing about the Natural-Coordinator problems. I guess we're luckier for having 00_resource, since we can discuss about other things than kawaii bishies desu ne and shipping shipping shipping. I kind of feel sorry for CE fans. I mean, they were promised a movie and the movie isn't coming...Us AD fans are quite pampered. Yeah, I kind of regret buying them in sets too, but this was the only way I could get my hands on a Kamille figure, for example. I want to smack myself for assembling them and not keeping the boxes though. I actually took pics a couple of months ago, lmao. And then proceeded to forget about them augh. GOD DAMN IT NOW I WANT ALIENS. There, I said it. I'm 90% sure there won't be any, but just to piss off the older Gundam fans. Aliens? In ~my~ Gundam? Blasphemy! And then they complain about reused tropes and kiss Turn A's ass for being ~different~. I still don't understand why the few translators we have didn't organise themselves in order to get a certain part of the interview and translate it. It would have been easier for everyone, but nooo.

Yeah, even more than Seraphim's Trial Field!
Well, duh. There should have been a veteran full of scars who should have kicked all of the Gundams' asses at once, because it's fashionable to hate the main characters now. Here's (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,516196,00.html) the article. Go get them. :D
