HLJ never has great sales (you can still find a gem or two amidst the shit no one wants); they do have that free shipping shit over a certain amount I guess, coming up. As far as Tatsu and anyone else? Probably ask them - I wouldn't be surprised if they might have some surprise gifts (like the special edition Builder's parts they rained on me several times or free shipping or something).

Oh, herro.

Nice Tropen/Funf scratchbuild.

HLJ seems to be putting everything on their Black Friday sale, excluding books and magazines. All of the older, pre-MG 1/100s are fucking criminally cheap.

**Serra** · 2013-11-28 23:41

Well, hi2u Sazabi~

Got my RG Strike Freedom. Its balance issues are worse then the Freedoms and my action bases from HLJ have been backordered.

You have only yourself to blame here.. you knew what you were gonna get when you got Backpacks with MS Attached: The Series (lol).

New Gunpla campaign; runs through Friday, 29 Nov.2013 - Friday, 14 Feb.2014.

Also, I guess AkoHobby is working on a plastic Efreet Schneid conversion for the MG Gouf 2.0 for release (probably) next Spring/Summer. There's a fairly significant height difference between the two, so it'll probably use some modified Zaku 2.0 parts.

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-12-01 18:25

^ How exactly does that work? Serial codes from where?

**Cream Soda** · 2013-12-02 16:34

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-12-03 00:46

Yeah forgot to post it. China why you so god damn cute. Sei why you so damn oblivious that she wants you.

**Edelweiss** · 2013-12-03 00:54

Serial codes that come with kits you buy (Tatsu Hobby doesn't give a shit if you buy a Unicorn/Seed/BF kit, like other contests have stipulated to recieve a serial code card per kit). I actually won 7 MGs from the contest in the early part of 2013 thanks to the half-dozen cards they gave me.. lol

Shipping on this is going to be rough, isn't it..

The box size is amusing. It won't be as bad as the Hi-Nu or The O at least.

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-12-09 09:49

Star Build Strike's gimmick is Stargazer's beam absorption thing. Pretty smart move there Sei

**Mrbeansman** · 2013-12-09 21:15

I'm betting Aila is from Reijis world.

but if Reiji is royalty there (or am I just remembering that wrong?) wouldn't she have recognized him?

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-12-10 00:07

And Reiji probably doesn't notice it right away.

**Serra** · 2013-12-10 02:46

I hope she's not -- Then again, I also hope the whole "Reiji is from another world" thing isn't real and we've all just had the same dream and think it is..

**Insanecyclone** · 2013-12-10 09:51

Well they haven't touched on since Ep2(?) when Reiji just fucking instant transmission'd right in front of Sei.

**Serra** · 2013-12-12 13:14

So, since we're at the championship, who do you guys think is going to take each other out? Presumably all the relevant characters will make it to the round of sixteen at least.

So there's Sei/Reiji, Yuki, Aila, Mao, Ricardo, Nils Nielsen, Luang Dallara, and the Renato brothers (whose Gunpla we haven't seen, right?). So that's 8, leaving 8 spots for random characters who show up in the next few rounds. Presumably Rainer Cziommer will take one spot (the guy who won a match in this past episode) -- if they made a point of mentioning him, I'm assuming he'll make it to the round of 16.

To make it to the championship, Sei and Reiji have to fight four matches (ignoring the 1v1 that ends the first set of eight matches). I'm thinking Sei/Reiji will go up against Ricardo, Mao, Aila, and win the tournament against Yuki. Then again, I could see them put against Ricardo in the 1v1 match to get that out of the way, but I'm more inclined to believe they'll face Nils in that match. Yuki will beat Nils, probably to make it to the finals, but don't think anyone else really stands out yet, so maybe some dynamics will show up in some of these early matches.

One question I have though, does everyone who has made it to the tournament participate in the first 8 matches? For instance, do the three pilots Sei and Reiji beat in the first round get to repair their Gunpla or are they done?
