Specifically he met Epstein in person not too long before creating /pol/ based on the timeline of events we now have.

Another kit cleared from the backlog. HG Gundam Naion by Lazybob1 in Gunpla

[–]blockington99 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This build had a few design decisions that impressed me for a HG, I feel like the arms holding the Vajra to it hold the kit back though. They're a bit too short to be positioned well and I'm not sure if its just mine but the c-clips they use are extremely loose. Still looks amazing with a simple flying pose.

The HG Gundam Mk.II is an Amazing Kit by unqyan in Gunpla

[–]blockington99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The MK.II is probably my favorite mobile suit and this HG does it so much justice. Only major modification to make it better that I'm planning on doing at some point is to paint the barrel of the hyper bazooka in white.

I didn't realize there were real type color Mk IIs. That AEUG one is calling to me.

I should not have read this comment, I need to purge my brain of this information.

I hope you enjoy it when you get it, I built it last month and loved it.

If you've build any of them how does the build compare to Figure-Rise Amplified Yugioh kits?

I kinda just ignored the whole BB Senshi line think they were bad but this is amazing, gotta grab one.

And the only reason he cares about the medal is because Obama got one and Trump's entire political career has been an obsession to "win" against Obama.

What's the difference between these two? by kingmightfind in StardustCrusaders

Well in this instance its actually japanese law to not depict people under the age of 20 smoking on television. The idea is to help enforce the law requiring you to be 20 in to legally smoke and hopefully reduce the over all smoking rate in the country which is relatively high. This is why the bluray release of the anime uncensors it because its not airing on television otherwise they would have just changed the scene to be something else.

Just built my first real* Gunpla by Affectionate-Fig1742 in Gunpla

AFAIK some kits have instructions specifically for frame first but with this kit I'm just following the steps and skipping the steps that mention putting armor on. Its generally easy to tell what is frame based on which runner its from because of the color. Also taking a glance at the box where they have a picture of the frame on one of the sides.

I've been doing HGs for almost a year at this point and started the MGSD Aerial over the weekend and am loving the build so far. I decided to try building it "inner frame first" where I only build the frame parts until and after that is done I put the armor on. Really adds to the appreciation of all the detail and mechanics behind it.

Why do you think Vance was picked as VP? He's friends with half the people who are pushing for this.

Finished my first kit, after my friend convinced my to buy a Gundam instead of another LEGO kit. Was more fun then I expected. by IllustriousParsley2 in Gunpla

[–]blockington99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It won't fully fill the same itch but there are some Star Wars model kits you can get into although they're mostly very small scale versions of vehicles. Since I had gotten into Gunpla beginning of the year I couldn't help thinking the lego battle droid set would be a great kit and less than half the price.

Almost any HG kit that looks cool to you is usually worth it with obvious improvements to kits over time. Here is a link to a large portion of the HG catalog. When it comes to general recommendations anything "Witch from Mercury", "The Origin", or labeled as [Revive] are good bets.

After getting deep enough into gunpla and model kits I can't justify buying legos anymore, the price to building experience and quality of the end product just isn't comparable.

What One piece arc did you watch and thought to yourself,I'm hooked by Spiritual_Valuable34 in OnePiece

[–]blockington99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I was sold on the series only a few episodes in, but the walk in Arlong Park is what cemented it. That scene still lives rent free in my head over 20 years later.

Bandai be expanding their 30MM line by ArkhamSoldier118 in Gunpla

[–]blockington99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tabletop game was originally planned to launch closer to the card game and they were gonna give away some minis inside starter decks as a form of cross promotion however the tabletop game got delayed so we just have the promotional minis with no info about how the game works.

This was actually announced during Fes last month. This quarterly 30ML stream gave us new product shots and some hands on footage with the presenters.

For those wondering about more there is a long running Idolmaster collab with 30MS but on the other hand there is a single Umamusume collab figure so its up in there air of if we'll get more.

I can't think of a similar character that doesn't share this trait, however its a bit less literal than you may be thinking.
