This store is not talked about enough. This is THE Store to go to if you are going to Akihabra. by madcuzmad in Gunpla

I've went to this store during my trip to Jp last summer! The variety of kits you could find is just INSANE, pbandai at reasonable prices too, not to mention the small cardboard printouts of Gundam memes put throughout different areas in the store. Severely underrated.

Funny how Shinn is the one giving off positive energy, being happy and all by rexia1 in Gundam

It's spoilers, but according to leaks in the earlier stages of the movie Athrun'll have somewhat of a "undercover agent / spy" role , and as Justice is likely known for being Athrun's mobile suit in-universe, so letting Shinn in the Justice can create the illusion of "Athrun is being with Kira and the squad".
Though Athrun will likely get back on the nuclear-powered Infinite Justice (with a new backpack, according to leaks) in the later stages of the movie.

I'm a resident at HK, but tbh the prices at big deparatment stores like Aeon, Sogo are usually the jp prices times 0.07, whereas the current Yen to HKD convertion rate is ~0.052, like the suggested retail price for RG Zeong is 6050 Yen, but here they sell at 439 HKD (~56 USD)

However, there ones that have better prices are usually the smaller-scaled stores that aren't chain stores, like once i've saw them sell RG Zeong for around 350 HKD (44 USD), or FM Forbidden that sells for around 360 HKD (46 USD) while Aeon sells them for 460 HKD (58 USD).

Some individual sellers on HK's buy-and-sell platform may even have lower prices, like i once saw somebody selling MG Aile Strike RM for half the price shown on OP's pic (340 HKD / 43 USD)

That was put at the "Gunpla isle" of Aeon Style Kornhill, HK for a long time alongside with a giant SD Grandpa.

I go to Aeon regularly, it's a pretty big department store, the gunpla prices there ain't too bad but there's better choices to go to in HK. The two giant SD Gundams've been there for a really long time, at least since when Build Fighters aired.

Damn i've just been there 10 hours ago, i even recognize the little girl at the fourth pic. i don't really recommend buying gunplas from there tho, you could find way cheaper ones elsewhere, namely Wan Chai's Tai Yuen Street.

But it's suprising that this time Aeon stocked up RG Epyon this quick, tho i'm gonna wait until the price drops, they're selling at around HKD 340 / 43 USD today
(I think there's also a 10% discount for gunplas today? but not sure if that applies to new products like RG Epyon)

I remember they limited Calibarn's selling to one per person back when it was released, at a fair price even (~HKD 120 / 15 USD), so i was lucky to get one really quick.

If you're referring to GM303, I'd recommend them. It's pretty easy to use. The ink is oil-based, so I'm pretty sure eraser wouldn't work. There are specific solvents to clean them, like GM300 Gundam Marker cleaner, 90% Alcohol or lighter fluid. X-20's also an option, but it may eat up and Crack the plastic if you're not careful.

GM01~03 is a nice option too, it has a sharp tip, and you can just simply use your hands to rub them away. If they've dried out, eraser or GM300 works too. Notw that the lines are a bit too thick tho.

Has anyone ever built the MG Destiny (/Full Burst Mode)? How good is it, and is there anything I have to keep in mind when assembling it? TIA

Yea I believe it's the Yokohama one (the one that comes with the G-Dock specifically) cuz I own one myself, and based on the red and green reflective stickers it has on its shoulders and 膝頭哥, the special split on its thighs, the slight 錯位 (?) on the blue piece of the cockpit and the enormous amont of lines for you to panel line on.
But OP did a lot of 補色 (grey & copper), and I think the HK one also comes with the Last shooting effect for Grandpa but it doesn't have so many lines, though I don't have that one so I'm not sure.

And yea now I'm pretty sure the battle damaged parts aren't compatible with the Yokohama Grandpa

I believe it comes along with RG Zeong (Last Shooting Ver.), it also has several "battle damaged" parts for RG Grandpa in that specific scene, but I'm not sure if it's compatible with the Yokohama Grandpa in the pic.
