Hi All,
Just wondering if i'm the only Gundam Limited Edition nutcase on this forum. I absolutely LOVE the limited edition releases whether they're chrome and/or crystal clear editions, in all lines and scales. Does anyone else here share my love for limited editions?
I know a lot of you guys like to customize and paint your models, so there would be no point in paying the extra expense for a limited edition one.
Just interested to know. ;D

you're not the only one, I love the limited edition releases too. But not all of them some just doesn't look right, like those Extra Finish Verisons. For some reason or another they always look cheap to me.
My favorite is also the Super Gundam. I love the black Metalic crome frame mix with crystal clear armor parts. Still waiting for a Clear MKII 2.0 ver, don't realy like the new HD ver.
The New Clear Strike Rouge looks pretty good. But it'll have to wait till there's a good sale since I just brought the Perfect Grade Astray Red Frame with Crystal clear parts Plus the Extra Sword and stand. I would have wait on it if they didn't include those in their first run.
I heard they might be doing a 2nd special run on the PG Astray in June or July.

Yea, I got the PG Astray with Clear Parts also ;D If you are looking for a decent price, hobbywave has it for 50.95. Shipping is fixed at 10 bucks. I just bought 4 items from them that you maybe interested in. I got the MG Strike Rouge Crystal Ver, 1/100 Blitz Crystal Ver, Astray Blue Frame Crystal and the Astray Red Frame Crystal ver. I think everything including shipping came out to about $140. Great deal to get all 4 if you ask me. -Q you're not the only one, I love the limited edition releases too.

Haha! nooooooooooo $50 for the Crystal Clear MG Strike Rouge. ;D As far as picking up an extra clear set, I hadn't really thought about it.... I guess I should since I have a clear RX-78 and Zaku =]. How much did you sell your clear set for? -Q wait you got PG astray for 50?!?!?! holy crap!! any way do you plan on picking up an extra set of clear parts to make a complete clear astray (well except for the right shoulder) I just sold my clear parts this week!!

Man I was about to say, if you found it for that price you could of made a killing!!
You know me im not in it for the money so i sold mine for $25, but Ive seen it on ebay for around $60 and up!! However, I did keep the extra sword and sheath.
I wasnt planning on selling mine but some guy on another forum (actually two) made me an offer since they knew I got PG with clear parts. Since I didnt plan on using it (as I only really wanted the additional katana) I decided to part with it.
Lol I didnt even think of you till I saw this thread again lol. Then again you could wait till they release a special edition (but im sure they will jack the price considerably!)

If you had a regular version and a clear version couldn't mix and match the parts? I think that would look awesome!

I just had him purchase 3 Limited Edition MG Zakus for me. Pretty rare ones. One is all clear, one is clear red and one is clear blue =]. Anyway, I'm sure i'll get my hands on this guy one way or another...... LOL Money is the real issue..... Chen - It is definately pretty cool! The clear custom parts for the PG RX-78 and PG Zaku are great examples. -Q

Actually, I was wondering the same thing. I've sent him a few emails with no response for about the last week. Maybe he's on vacation? Any other moderators have an idea? -Q
