Summer Anime 2008 Info and Otaku Discussions (Anime, Manga, Games, Model Kits, etc.)

I said find something interesting about that picture and it is not the Gundam.

 

[Lekk [VN]]

The faded background? or the troops themselves?

 

[Buck Private]

Fine you were supposed to figure it out yourself.

Did you ever watch Band of Brothers? The biggest clue you will ever get.

 

[Lekk [VN]]

Nope never watch it =D

 

[D-Tektive]

no gundam updates? D=

 

[Buck Private]

Nope never watch it =D

Well since you never watched it the important part is that the picture is not really a WWII picture, but a picture of the cast of that TV show.

 

[Lekk [VN]]

Well as far as I know several model kits from Gundam 00 are already released in the summer such as Overflag, Ground Tiren, Aestrea Type F, and Exia Avalanche 1/100

They are now taking preoder for re-release of MS-07B Gouf 1/60, from Glorious series (equivalent of Perfect Grade kits), which will be out in Sep and retail for 12 000 yen

I do not feel like buying a model no more unless in the future they will make one that comes with AI. Then we can have some mini model Gundam battles.

There was an Anime with this type of premise of making model robots fight. Do you remember what it was?

;_; It is beautiful. I would have preferred the Red Comet with a bit of battle damage.

Keh, I refused to watch Code Geass in season one and now it is becoming one of the better shows I have seen. I wait for it to come out every week eagerly and download it when it comes out. I am also buying the DVD's for it if and when it comes out in America or I might just import if I can get a cheap deal.

[Lekk [VN]]

[redspike[DAM]]

i know that they are...but iwant them now.....cant wait

i even got 3 kanokon posters in my room now

i even read more ecchi mangas than before

 

[Lekk [VN]]

Ok here's official image released for Gundam 00. Seem like Exia got overhauled XD

Since you're kanokon fan red, this might fit your taste =D

1/5 scale figures of “Minamoto Chizuru” by 4-Leaves ^^ Looks like there will be 2 versions, one is the Human form, and the other is the Fox form. They’ll be up for a whoopin’ price of 13,440 Yen and is scheduled for October 2008 release.

 

[redspike[DAM]]

hell yeah!!

i think about getting one of them

i just dont know how much 14,000 yen is in euro

 

[Digitalfeeling]

135 dollars?! I buy good looking figures for about 50 bucks max from one of the dealers I go to. That is upsetting. I will catch one of those next year.

 

[redspike[DAM]]

and how much euros are 135 dollars??

well...i have enough money 2 get some stuff

 

[Lekk [VN]]

It's about 80 Euros red (about 1.5 USD = 1 Euro). In most jp website, if you preorder, you usually get like 10-20% discount.
Digital, 1/8 and 1/7 scale figure are usually around 50ish USD. However, 1/5-1/3 scale are generally 100ish USD.

 

[Buck Private]

I wonder what stuff have been added to Exia. Like weapons and such. Can not wait to see the awesome new battles.

 

[Lekk [VN]]

The list below is complied by Winterheim on the difference/changes of Gundam 00 compared to Gundam Exia:

green orb on chest is gone
one more green orb for each arm
blue wrists
thruster backpack instead of hunchback cone design
traditional red forehead piece on the V-fin
flat strap wiring on the shoulder-to-arm is gone
knees actually remind me of the RX-78-2
while the hips remind me of the PG Strike Gundam
new arm design
yellow fins on the collarbone appear to have migrated to the head as the additional V-fin
and the crowning glory appears to be two GN drives mounted on the shoulders and they swivel into the back or outwards to the sides

[QUOTE='Lekk [VN];383235' However, 1/5-1/3 scale are generally 100ish USD.[/QUOTE]

That is why I go to a certain dealer that I have been going to for about four years. He gives me a huge discount as long as I bring some people in as customers as well and holds some stuff for me.
