Finally, after 5 years...

[Palle]

...of waiting and digging, I got my hands on the official Dengeki 1/100 Gundam Hazel Head Unit conversion parts.

For 99 cents.

YES!

[SirTopps]

i dont get it.
bad joke.

[Palle]

I might have been clearer if I had attached a jpg big enough to express my joy.

But there isn't one.

[Nitro Vordex]

This, but bigger?

but i really dont understand . what are you ?

[Palle]

That's pretty darn close. It would work if it was 8000x8000.

@SirToppamhatt

I am a nerd.

If its not a joke, it can't be bad. It is a joyous occasion for Palle finding parts he needed to complete something, at a bargain of the universe.

[SirTopps]

ok let me explain.

what is ? Dengeki?
what is? Gundam?
what is ? Hazel Head Unit?
what is ? 99 cents ?
what is ? digging?

and who ? are? you?

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

The first 3 should go to Palle.

Bonus I can answer follows:

1/100 is scale. Real size would be 100 times bigger.

The last 3 are you being senile/incoherent. Starting at 99 cents, not that triple triad of a question sentence breaker revenge.

[SirTopps]

you know i love to be silly. i really only need an answer to the first 2 really and the digging? what ? like thru trash? and why is this a big deal and oh scale like fish. or do you mean like that thing i never step on.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

and why is this a big deal and oh scale like fish. or do you mean like that thing i never step on.
Fish oil can help keep the healthy and such - much more than the hydrogenated cookies oil, saturated fat oilyness in solid block(arteries) form, and get you on that scale all the time where you will want to check check it-yeah, no more aqua teen hamburger fryman masta shake intake.

Research that up.

Rarity and why its a big deal, also inquire to Palle. Would be happy to add details to his hunt for this rare item, which on this website may help you understand that part of it better than a dig hunt. Maybe that makes more sense on the Monster Hunter websites, or blackfriday coupon deals, that one cheapassgamer website maybe.

[Palle]

It's like a rare drop IRL, except no matter how many people play, the number of these red boxes will never go up, only down.

Dengeki publish special interest magazines in Japan, including some for model building. When the Advance of Zeta story was serialized [I'm still trying to complete that collection], Dengeki teamed up with Bandai to produce special AoZ figures and models, including conversion parts for existing Bandai model kits. The parts I got today modify Bandai's GM Quel kit to have the head of the Gundam Hazel, and to my knowledge were the only official 1/100 parts released by Dengeki.

Thank you for your interest in Gundam plastic model kits. You may commence yawning and/or whooshing now.

:D
^^;
:yes:

[Weeaboolits]

No photo still? I wanna see this redbox of yous.

Also are those kits as painful to assemble as my Virtual On ones were?

Six hours filing kibble off microscopic bits of plastic was not my idea of a good time.


Also, do you paint yours?

[SirTopps]

why is this so important to you ?

[Palle]

@ Ronin

I'm not sure, I haven't done any of the Virtual On kits; are they Kotobukiya, Kodansha, or something else? I have a couple of WIPS at the moment, but I'd say 6 hours is at the low end of the spectrum. I do take my time though. I usually only apply accent paint to standard kits, but my custom builds aren't painted as I need a new airbrush and don't have the scratch for a good one right now.

As for the photo, I will get some shots of the unboxing when it descends from its Nippon Space Carrier. Should be a couple of days.

@ Sir

I dunno... I guess I just like building things. It's a challenge for me to imagine something and make it real. I get way ahead of myself though... I have far too many builds planned...

@ pal. can you build me a house?

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

@ pal. can you build me a house?
Carpenters like Jesus work with the Gundanium metallic lunar alloys now?

[SirTopps]

sure. i think that would make for a great fanfic

In this genre of space, nobody can hear you scream after colony was dropped on you - your momma's house, and your cousin too.

YES!

Is this a game?

[SirTopps]

i think it is. first you should make up some rules. but dont tell anyone. then tell me who lost. then when i say no way. then quote the rules. but dont forget to change them after the first loser. and remember to keep it secret. its more fun that way.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

There was a new Gundam vs Arcade game, rumored to cost $100k a machine.

That's

BIG SHOWTIME GAME

So much bling they need to mine in space to pay for more Gundam fighting action layer 2345.

[Palle]

Pics were promised. As you can see, the camera on my phone is beginning to go thanks to too much droppage.

Zeon dogtag was included. Might try to pawn this off on some cosplayers.

TTT emblem enamel flight pin was also included. I now have two of these, more treasured than my PSU launch phone strap. :yes:

Finally, it also came with a figure of some Gundam SEED character, Lacus Clyne. I don't want it, so if anyone here likes this stuff and wants this, PM me.

Finally, it also came with a figure of some Gundam SEED character, Lacus Clyne A HORRIFIC MESS OF BODY PARTS.

Fix'd.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

That phrase about "I'd buy that for a dollar!"

Who wouldn't buy all that for a dollar?!

And that last thingy, unassembled mini figure covers so many bases. Striped gym shorts/underpants - Sayara Art. Pinkpop hair - Shin's avatar and all else - he'll call pink hair ginger too maybe, that cape fits in with Ronin's space cadet female crew - one person called one Vanille/a. Possible Blue afro/if not a torso, FROmars like Nitro.

First come first Palle served.
