1/400 Alpha-Azieru - LA Loot!
So I was the LA area visiting the folks and I stumbled upon this guy! I went home did some research on it but nothing. Found a short review about it's articulation but nothing in depth and no size comparisons. I figure I'm a big fan of Char's Counterattack and big mobile armors so why not. Turns out... I'm a little disappointed since this thing was $54. It's pretty bare bones and doesn't even come with any stickers... not that I use them anyway but it's nice to have.
I'll upload some photos of the finished product when I get back but for now here are some box shots!
Big shoot out to Shun Fat grocery store. They have a little booth in there that sells Gundams and Yugioh cards. It's really small so the selection is a little limited but they have a couple PGs a lot of BBs, and plenty of MGs. They're prices are pretty fair if you like to bargain. Picked up a MG Strike Freedom Full Burst for $80. It's located on Valley and San Gabriel in... San Gabriel if you're interested.
I like it when things come with a stand : )
It really is painted!
Comes with a 1/400 Nu Gundam and Sazabi too.
Not as many parts as I thought there would be...
I think the G and H plate are made of polycap material. No sanding each and every fin funnel.
Not too many steps...
Looks like a good clean painting. Plenty of places for panel lining.
I like it when things come with a base.
You mean the San Gabriel Super Store? That's been there for awhile. I'm just not fond of the price gouge of certain gundams they offer there.
I dunno some Chinese super market.
Lets see, its fraken huge and its has clothing and liquor down the aisle from the gunpla booth?
And they have DVDs, eastern medicine and Vietnamese CDs? It's called 順發超級市場 I don't know what it's called in English aside from Shun Fat?
wow it's like a ready to assemble diorama complete with sazabi and nu gundam
I think it'll look like a nice display when it's finished. I'm disappointed at the lack of parts. Feels like a bit of a rip off for a 5000 yen kit, especially since the Red Frame Astray costs the same and we all know what a great kit that is (minus the gold non-bling)
is that a MG or something fukken HG stuff?? looks cool ^Y^
