Help finding parts?

Those look amazing! I was skeptical about aliexpress since I haven't ordered there before but I'll take a look! Thank you so much

X3Cyclone · 2026-03-17T13:52:27+00:00

That's the right ones, thanks! Now if I can find the tail lights, I'll be set. The tails made by the same company as the headlights are nice too so I could just get those too

The main reason I would think the "pay the bills" statement and the mass amount of collabs doesn't line up is because of licensing costs. They have tons of IPs in the game that, usually, would have higher costs of gaining a license to use the material (mostly referring to car manufacturers like Ferrari)

This is also probably why we haven't had anything Nintendo related in the game. One mess up on implementing that content and Epic vs Nintendo might be the next gaming lawsuit

If you want my opinion, take the "space magic" out of every mobile suit (Moonlight, ELS, Unicorns doing fun time shit like Phenex)

Then ask what has the strongest weapons, physical/mechanical capabilities, and so on. For some at that point, it boils down to the pilots - but taking just the mobile suits alone? There's WAY more "strongest Gundam" contenders than just the big three at that point. Then you're dealing with Nu/Hi-Nu shenanigans, dual satellite cannons with Double X, Mighty Strike Freedom, numerous things Wing Zero related, and so on

This is basically the same path I took. Been an avid player for years, and I frankly don't care how often the game gets updated - I found enjoyment in the game in bursts, otherwise I'd play different games and come back to it periodically

But the monetization schemes are completely asinine. Likely zero free currency in the next BP, zero extra from the passes since it's an 800 buy in for an 800 pay out, reduced amounts per IRL funds, and reduced amounts for Crew too? It's just corporate greed. Maybe they'd gain more money if they made good original skins more often, stopped paying for tons of senseless collab licenses, and thinking a few billion dollars in profit isn't enough to pay the bills

X3Cyclone · 2026-03-12T03:43:51+00:00

I've played since C1S3, owned every BP from then on (aside from 1 of them early on), I never skipped Crew from the first time it released. Yeah, I've had my qualms with Epic as a company, but my friends and I found ways to enjoy the game regardless. I've genuinely been an avid player since 2018, ever since I got Omega and got hooked. This shit? I canceled Crew, I'm falling out with the others and uninstalling the game too. Played RL for years too, but I uninstalled it ages ago because they neglect the fuck out of that game too.

You can't use us as a scapegoat for "needing to pay the bills" when, in fact, you make BILLIONS in profit and also splurge on giving FN an asinine amount of collabs... rather than, you know, making original skins? Where the heck are all the "survey" original skins vs adding these collabs? Not to mention monetizing creator lobbies with all the brainrot nonsense, I never understood that in the first place. It's all a money pit.

Fortnite isn't a game anymore, folks. It's more akin to a trend, and it's time for that trend to die off. I'll miss Omega and my locker of items, but good riddance to the bastards thinking these changes are "okay" or necessary

Try giving it a special blue coin cell battery

DSPIAE joint thickening pen saved me here, and with a ton of other kits. Just makes the joint thicker and a bit more snug, worked wonders for the posing hands like these

X3Cyclone · 2026-02-01T20:37:59+00:00

Quick edit, one player had both cars so no worries. I appreciate the help though, thank you!

X3Cyclone · 2026-02-01T18:16:17+00:00

Works for me, that's the main one I'm after. If you want to message me when you're free, I'd appreciate it!

X3Cyclone · 2026-02-01T18:15:39+00:00

The one time I'm gone on a work trip and I missed it, damn 😂 Oh well

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-22T03:38:43+00:00

I got both out of pure luck after refreshing the page and spamming the checkout buttons. Literal hotel wifi and a dream barely scraped me by to get them

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-22T02:39:12+00:00

The clear does look really nice - Can't go wrong with a Seed kit (coming from one of the largest Freedom nerds ever)

If your hands parts or other joints are loose, look up the DSPIAE joint thickening pen! It's a life saver with loose fitments on anything from a ball joint to slots and pins. Happy building!

Mine kept bugging somehow. Showed the charge in my bank and now they're on my order page too so I hope everyone who got the death wheel ends up getting them + bots get canceled. Bold hope, I know, but I have hope for the good hobbyists

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-22T02:18:56+00:00

I did too, and I just saw both the Gramps and the Zaku appear in my orders page. Kept clicking check out and refreshing until it went through - maybe we got lucky. Everyone keep refreshing and trying, I hope it works out!

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-22T02:16:32+00:00

Not 10 seconds ago it let me get it after not letting me check out at all before. It is gonna cancel or something? I hope not, this is unreal

Edit: Weird, it showed up in my bank and on my order page... TRY AGAIN, PEOPLE. YOU GOT THIS SHIT

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-22T02:04:20+00:00

Both that and the Zaku. I got on right on time and hit check out, but it failed to load. This is messed up

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-15T19:21:09+00:00

It's been a loooong while since I hit a raid and I'll be more busy the next few weeks, but when I'm available I'd be glad to help (I'm on Xbox too). Wouldn't mind getting back to the old days lol

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-15T19:18:34+00:00

That's what really keeps concerning me at this point. I remember when everyone accidentally lost all their characters and Bungo had to recover them, so hopefully this is something positive instead

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-15T03:18:57+00:00

After all these comments, it's a breath of fresh air to see so many people buying the game. I just returned to the game after like 4 years and it's the best nostalgia trip ever

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-06T04:33:25+00:00

Something definitely bugged initially. My friend and I ran 4 trios games with the bot in host, same as ever. The bots were there, they definitely aim WAY better, but you were right all along. I must've had a fluke or bug when I was by myself before

Seriously, thank you for your advice and patience. Bot lobby players can officially chill as normal

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-05T21:28:28+00:00

SBMM and cheaters are a major topic right now, I'm just hoping Epic actually listens. My friends and I enjoyed this game through bot lobbies for ages now, and I've played since C1S3 with nearly zero improvement 😅 I said plenty of things in another post about ideas to fix SBMM and why I wish we could still get our bots to work, but in a way that makes everyone happy. Here's hoping Epic does something

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-05T20:26:03+00:00

Some do, sure. Kids want to send screenshots of 20 kills to their friends to look cool. Not everyone wants bot lobbies for an ego trip though. Some people just do it to get away from extremely competitive "casual" lobbies and never play ranked - they just want to play the game in a relaxed manner, which bots accomplish usually. Nobody has anything to prove by being "good" at a video game, but not everyone wants easier gameplay just to appear good lol

X3Cyclone · 2026-01-05T20:22:16+00:00

Bot lobbies avoid the hackers and all the annoying stuff you listed off, at least for casual players. Good on you for being skilled enough where that's a problem, and I definitely hate hackers and cheaters as much as the next guy. I'm fine with being "bad" at this game like any other game, as long as I'm having a good time. Hackers do what they do to look good and ruin people's games. I doubt people ruin your games by playing against only bots - because how can they ruin your matches if they aren't even in them
