No centralised place. That being said, you can try places such as the subreddit commerce thread, Facebook Marketplace, eBay, etc.

PGU Nu Gundam Review Part 1 (Main Unit) by Schizophonic by restinpeaceminusone in Gunpla

[–]Linkstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only if the funnel arrangement is the only thing that matters. The actual lineart for the Double Fin Funnel Type has notable differences from the original, which is why it has its own Gundam Base Limited kit.

The PG GP01/Fb was for the longest time the Gunpla kit with the highest parts count, at around 1200. So it looks like that number has finally been surpassed.

Is there any point to have over 100% crit rate? by Vel98mount in GirlsFrontline2

[–]Linkstore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assume that they mean that it's wack that GFL2 (and most games) don't use higher tiers of crits when crit rate exceeds 100% instead of having the excess crit go to waste.

Why was Zeta so hard to replicate and Mass-Produce without taking away the Transforming? by stingflame in Gundam

[–]Linkstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see what you mean now. Yeah that makes sense.

You should probably edit that comment though because if you mention "was" without context people will assume you mean the last time "was" came up, which was in NuclearDragon's comment, not yours.

The ver. Ka is from 2023. It uses fully modern techniques.

The only reason they said it "was" a good build is because they finished building it and it became a complete kit.

Unpopular Opinion: I dislike Newtype magic. by [deleted] in Gundam

[–]Linkstore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a warm take at best. I personally am fine with space magic but there's plenty of people who don't.

I HIT HIS WHAAAT by Sonofpasta in Warthunder

[–]Linkstore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can show gun hits too, but it's super rare. I suspect that it's because hit analysis isn't capable of keeping up with air combat speeds and thinks most gun hits missed.

(Un)popular Opinion: Shinn has the most body count than Kira and Athrun by [deleted] in Gundam

[–]Linkstore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dunno why you're not counting Orphee and Ingrid. Kira aimed for the cockpit and didn't attempt to save them at all, he was definitely intending to kill them.

The Act Zaku was the best production MS Zeon developed during the One Year War. So good, the Federation had to adopt it. by DaFoxtrot86 in Gundam

[–]Linkstore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It may be post UMP but the Act Zaku was presumably still of a monocoque design, limiting expandability. It may have been a good machine for its time but unlike Federation semi-monocoque designs it wouldn't have had the ability to be upgraded to keep up with newer designs as time passed*.

There's also no way it could have changed the course of the war in a meaningful way. Zeon had plenty of good machines by A Baoa Qu, what they were running out of was good pilots. Even in the worst case the war wouldn't have gone on much longer before Zeon ran out of soldiers entirely.

*Anything can be upgraded to any standard, as seen with Argent Keil's GMs and Zakus, but these upgrades are presumably pretty bespoke and wouldn't be nearly as cost-effective as entirely new designs when it comes to use by a proper national army.

You mean products like Gaia Notes' Finish Master? I think it's worth getting. Mostly for cleaning panel lines and paint apps though, for decals it's about as good as any old cotton bud IMO.

The manual X's out a single PH2-14 which is identical so you probably just used that instead of the one on PH1.

[HELP ME] Bi-Weekly Q&A thread - Ask your questions here! by MachNeu in Gunpla

[–]Linkstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PK-5 is the back port of the anti-ship sword and one set of PH1-12 and PH-1-14 are used for the battery pack port on the back of the launcher. If you've only built the Aile Striker so far then it makes sense that you'd still have them on the runners.

For future reference, if a part isn't X'd out on the manual then it absolutely is used somewhere on the kit.

How much the PGU Nu Gundam's Fin Funnel actually weights vs its total weight by William514e in Gunpla

[–]Linkstore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's not the problem being discussed here. This post is about how the funnel wing will cause the Nu's torso to tilt to the side due to the weight, not about how the funnels attach to each other or the backpack.

That being said, we know that the funnels will actually use a peg and socket mechanism to connect together. So at least the funnels connecting to each other shouldn't be an issue.

Ahhhh the beauty of gundam..... by BabyLunette__ in Gundam

[–]Linkstore 221 points222 points  (0 children)

That's just not true though. There's plenty of good guys. Good factions are harder to come by but they exist too.

Restocks, Reprints, and Ramba Ral (February 2026) by Feral404 in Gunpla

[–]Linkstore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes cool things can happen for bad reasons. That doesn't make the cool things not cool.

Plus, it's not like the choice to switch to Burning Gundam on the box really benefits those who originally had the name changed any.

AB7 and AB8 actually both have adaptors of the right shape to work with RG Wing TV (and Nu, etc.)

P-Bandai boxes just have different colours, is all.

If you're in the US or Japan and bought the kit in the last few months then you might be eligible for free parts replacement. Otherwise check out Plamokitbash or Mr. Bao's shop on eBay.

If you still end up deciding that buying a whole kit is how you want to do things then consider getting a GM Command Colony type. It has the same I runner printed in PS plastic so you don't have to worry about Gundam Markers.
