At B&N they are $10 each, which does make me hesitate. However It is good for when I just want one or two. They are great little figures (especially if you're nostalgic for MSiA).

And now some fun Assault Kingdom pics...because they are great.

Since my Birthday is coming up, and I want some more 00 suits, should I get the HG exia, or the RG Exia? I know both have come down fairly in price, but all the other kits I have are HGs, and I'm wondering if an RG would be too out of place in my collection so far.

What's GOAT?

An abbreviation meaning Greatest Of All Time.

Interesting if true.

Since I recently got HG Dynames he looks really nice along side my RG Exia, and you should totally get the RG Exia, it's such an amazing/a-mejin kit. I'll show pics below, but before that....

Dynames is such a cool kit, the only thing he lacks is the old technology gunpla back in the 00 days, but he still holds up for today standards. his GN shield can get a tad bit annoying but once you know how to work your way around it. He's really cool.



Exia and Dynames.

Miller's Report summarizes the first 3 episodes of the show in a clip show format. I only saw it because Netflix didn't have the first disc of the show available.

Huh, that's a bit high. I was expecting something in the $5 range, considering the size/quality.

Get the RG. The HG has some really cool engineering going on, but the toothpick beam saber, awful hips, and massive shield sticker kind of kill all of that.

It's about what you'd expect for a gashapon toy, though.

Miller's Report takes episode 7 and 8 and adds a framing device around them. There's about enough new footage to make an extra episode. Episode 7 is treated like a clip show while episode 8 plays out as an act of the movie. It's in continuity and the new parts are nice, but a little hard to watch if you just watched those episodes.

On a side note, for those that watched the 08th MS Team on Toonami way back when, you have seen Miller's Report. Toonami actually edited episode 8 to include all of the new Miller's Report footage and make it an hour long episode. It flows much better without episode 7 breaking it up. Always wanted Sunrise to go back and make an ultimate edit of the show where they edited episode 8 like this, but without the censorship.

Also, what series do you recommend that aren't Turn A or G, since I've seen all of Turn A and I'm waiting to get back into G Gundam?

08th MS Team is my go to recommendation. In lieu of that, I recommend X, Build Fighter (the first season), and any of the other UC OVAs (0080, 0083, Unicorn).

That comes from the cost to import, the cost to printing Engrish boxes, and removing the candy. Still, I find them just as worth wild as the Transformers Legends class that's the same price.

Now, if you want AK wave 8 (Star Build Strike, Build Burning, Master, and Dom), I recommend getting them from AmiAmi. AmiAmi offers that wave as a full set (one of each) for around $13 before shipping. It's a good deal.

Took advantage of B&N 50% off sale, but my gawd did I went through crappy service to obtain these. I ended up going to a different B&N that had better stock and had 15-20 RG Strike Freedom Gundam and RG Destiny kits 50% off.

I got my Strike for 17, and just ended up getting the old wing kits for like 6 bucks.
