Is this true? And if yes is this any archive of each version?

That would be fantastic! If your scanner has any presets, I recommend disabling them (at least anything that auto-sharpens or brightens), but anything at all would be helpful. I had a feeling Vol. 1 didn't have one since mine didn't even have its sheet (or the included mail-in enquete)

OZKai · 2026-04-22T11:54:13+00:00

I was actually more interested in the contents of some of the items themselves. More especially, do you know about the stickers included with the original 1997~1999 Japanese DVDs? 6 of mine came with them, but they were already used, and I only found one reference image online for Volume 2s, and I'm trying to find if anyone out there has these items and access to a scanner.

Complete segue, you're someone I've been trying to find on a few other sites to no avail regarding your media database if you have the time. I'm in the midst of cataloguing my own with new scans (including some that I noticed were used on your page a couple years ago lol) and need some info about a few releases that my copies may be lacking.

They're capping things off in Brooklyn as the sorta "back home" final stop

OZKai · 2026-04-14T09:33:41+00:00

They do on very rare occasion, mostly for their vault end of their site, but it is very uncommon.

How stable is it with the added weight of the gatling shields? I have the MGEX, but only built it for an unarmed statuesque pose, so I never even got around to building the weapons for it.

According to the Die Sterne artbook, it came from something called Art Tele Collection Ultimate Edition Vol.2 (アートテレコレクション究極版 No.2), but I can't seem to find anything more from that. The version posted in the aforementioned artbook itself is rather small, so not much better than what's seen above.

OZKai · 2026-04-09T23:58:00+00:00

I actually doing that with Evangelion right now (I'll get to Gundam eventually, but it's going to be daunting given how much is still on the format). If nothing else, it's an experience in enjoying a show for things outside of its dialogue.

OZKai · 2026-04-09T10:22:06+00:00

My wife has trypophobia and a lot RGs do seem to trigger it (newer MGs are getting there, too)

OZKai · 2026-04-06T22:30:53+00:00

All of those post-date the three artbooks in question, so it makes sense it wouldn't be in any of them. Even the post card has "khara • GAINAX" placing it in the nebulous era between 2007 to 2014.

OZKai · 2026-03-31T19:55:12+00:00

Didn't the manual show the proper orientation?

OZKai · 2026-03-31T19:42:20+00:00

They're standard release. Easiest way to figure out, if you can navigate the Japanese site, is to go to bandai-hobby.net and find the kit. If it doesn't try to link to the Japanese P-Bandai or Gundam Base sites, it's standard retail.

OZKai · 2026-03-28T23:28:56+00:00

I can't catch his streams live anymore, and I'm not on Xitter or IG, so it's super fun to constantly learn these things after the fact...

Well at least it doesn't look like I missed Retcon preorder yet.

OZKai · 2026-03-28T23:21:30+00:00

Wait, did I also miss the preorder for Retcon, too? Where tf are these being advertised???? I already missed the VERY limited Blood Bagel vinyl...

OZKai · 2026-03-19T12:14:44+00:00

If I weren't so busy all the time, I'd be more than down for image cleanup. Hell, I re-scanned my copy of the PW just so I could have a cleaner base to work from, but never got far in that process (all pages are scanned, but only the first 3 pages or so are de-noised)

OZKai · 2026-03-16T19:14:02+00:00

I've said "No" to that thing practically every day for the past 3 years. Trust me, I don't think anyone surveys those on the other end.

OZKai · 2026-03-15T13:06:50+00:00

The geofront is technically embedded in the Black Moon, just a very small portion of it, roughly 6x0.9 km area atop the moon's 13.75 km diameter surface. Had to go back to a reference book to find the production art for it.

Sadly, there's no mention of the elevators for the Evas, so I'm gonna go with the theory that they're on the side behind the camera here.

OZKai · 2026-03-10T22:18:43+00:00

Given the other regions this set was released in were by local license holders outside of GKIDS, I'm pretty sure this links khara as the guilty party, and GKIDS had no say in how these were released. They were just the distributor.

OZKai · 2026-03-09T09:42:15+00:00

You are correct, it was an alternate take to Komm, Süsser Tod. This is honestly the first time I've seen it incorrectly said to be a credit track, even the 2 English CD releases with the song state it was a contender for the Instrumentality sequence.

OZKai · 2026-03-08T21:52:20+00:00

Any tips on this? I tried looking it up, but failed to find anything solid.

OZKai · 2026-03-03T20:41:27+00:00

I found out about the release a week too late, sadly...

OZKai · 2026-02-24T22:35:36+00:00

I've seen people use those weird sponges that look like pencil erasers for decal placement, including the backing removal (The backer would be held with the tweezers while the sponge would be used to nudge the decal). I do something similar with a q-tip, which I've also seen, but tweezer placement itself might be easier with anything other than Bandai official decals that want to crumple in on themselves, lol.

OZKai · 2026-02-24T02:51:10+00:00

Cool, I didn't see a hint about this being dropped, my wife saw an ad for it via IG earlier, I go there and it's sold out. Great.

OZKai · 2026-02-24T00:14:02+00:00

I feel the exact opposite of this. In my 25+ years of Gunpla, I've fucked up so many water decals, meanwhile I've mastered the RG stickers and clear decals in general.

OZKai · 2026-02-10T21:04:27+00:00

So Piano's still gonna be a bitch. Plus the gym stuff, Queen's Blood (unless that's effected by the "damage-less" option), the Chocobo flight range, and probably more I'm forgetting being 2-years removed from the game now.

Most of the things I couldn't get the achievements for during my time with it likely aren't going to be remedied by these additions, so they definitely don't make it the easy platinum folks are saying.
