The holographic strips are probably one of the more frustrating parts about the kit. It must've took me 20 minutes before I was finally able to assemble the torso one.

And in that time I ended up loosing the strips three times.

I'm not sure what disappoints me more the fact that the Mg Banshee kit is dark navy-blue than black, or that Banshee Norn is an exclusive.

I think the HG's black though.

Speaking of the Unicorns, I really do hope they make a MG Unicorn 3.0 or something, because the PG is amazing and stable in both modes. My MG Unicorn OVA ver has developed the ankle issue that the original Ver Ka has.

No, that one's blue too. Just not as noticeable.

Question about MG Gundam kits: did they ever make regular Gundam Deathscythe and Deathscythe Hell, or just the EW versions?

Nope but there are HG 1/100 versions.

Checking out video reviews, they require a LOT of paint or stickers. Man I'm so used to MGs.

Modern HGs are great, and RGs are on par with MGs. But yeah, the old '90s HGs are crap.

So this is what I have "ordered" from HLJ: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN973903/Gun And this is one I want to get in the future: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN983647/Gun

What do you guys think? Solid start? I watched a really in-depth review of Heavyarms so I'm totally confident in that one. I also kind of like the look of Wing Zero Custom: http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN929454/Gun But I heard it's "dated?" Dated how? (if that is the one I heard about)
