MG 1/100 RGM-79 GM [G] Ground Type Review Part 1 Introduction and Articulation

[MOVEZIG]

I just got mine from GSAM today. I bought it because it has a killer weapons loadout. You can use the GM(G) weapons with the Gundam (G) and vise-versa.

[ziljin]

@MOVEZIG Yea you can. This model has lots of sweet weapons. Shame it did not come with its own backpack.

[Fuzion]

Ah I missed that part earlier, but yeah it could actually be secured with a fine layer of model glue(loctite ftw) but I dunno if I wanna try that... if they take too long then yeah I'm just gonna seal the damn thing and get on with my model.

[ziljin]

@Fuzion Okay. Let me know what happens with your model.

[Fuzion]

@ziljin Indeeeeed

[Fuzion]

...So lemme guess, yours actually came with the screws and nuts? Because mine sure as hell didn't. -_-...

[ziljin]

@Fuzion IIRC 2 screws for the elbow joint. That is weird.

[Fuzion]

@ziljin You mean you got your's?Thing tells me I need tiny little screws and nuts for it. We should have the exact same model too.

[ziljin]

@Fuzion Yes I did they were in a yellow bag. I think one side for the screws and other side for the nuts. It was a tiny bag, maybe you dopped it and cannot find it.

[Fuzion]

@ziljin Ahah! I knew it! That's a big negative, because when I opened it, nothing of the sort was in there. The box wasn't sealed so I dunno what could've happend before it got to me. I called them and the guy said he'd see if they had spare parts and is waiting for another shipment.

[ziljin]

@Fuzion Well not a single gundam model kit I have purchased has been sealed. And no missing stuff so far thankfully. My MG GM(G) even came with a bandai parts separator. Very useful.

Well if you can't get the screws you could always just glue it together. I am sure you could achieve the same result. Honestly I don't know why it was screws, they could have easily made it a snap together part like the rest fo the model.

[Fuzion]

@ziljin I KNOW RIGHT?!?! It's the exact same thing I said! "Every other model I've been building snaps together just fine...whythehell'd they want a screw and nut in here now!?" . Been building these things for 12 years and not once has one turned up missing anything either, til now.

[ziljin]

@Fuzion The only time they should include screws are for the models that have lights so you have to unscrew to change the battery.

So did the seller contact you about the screws/nuts?

[Fuzion]

@ziljin True... and not yet. It was from Gundam store, and the guy was pretty cool about it. Said he'd call me when another shipment came in. Apparently I bought the LAST one.

[ziljin]

@Fuzion Gundam store and more? Nice. Well that elbow joint seems like you could just glue it together. Does it even need the screws and nuts to be secure?

[AsianDelinquent]

Fedz get 3barreled Rocket launchers and beam sabers and zeon get 1barrel rockets and heat hawks T,T no fair! But yeah GM's are simple but they look nice for being simple >.<

[ziljin]

@AsianDelinquent Well feds needed the tech in order to trump the zeon ace pilots I wish they made a gundam series with no gundams. Just grunt suits and ace pilots in grunt suits. Like the MS igloo series but less of the crazy prototypes.

[AsianDelinquent]

@ziljin Did you see MS IGLOO 2? No proto types but it has a crazy ass spirit death god thingy....freaked me a bit in the first episode but over all i kind of liked it than the first one though it has some OVER-KILL scenes think ull like it

[ziljin]

@AsianDelinquent Yea I watched MS Igloo 2. Well they did have those suicide mission guntanks. I would have liked it better without the spirit death god.

[GundamGuns]

I just ordered the 08th MS Team dvd!!! Never watched it before but, I heard it is one of the best side stories!! Very nice for your first review man!!

[ziljin]

@GundamGuns It's a great series. It has more realistic combat, at least some parts of it. I personally like 0080 War in the Pocket the most.

[P00nez]

@ziljin you actually like war in the pocket i think 08th ms team was by far the best ova. Why did you like it so much?

[ziljin]

@P00nez Because it portrayed the Zeon as likable characters for once. Lets you know that they are people too. And the tragic ending.

[P00nez]

@ziljin oh never look at it from that view. Still really was not my favorite. The ending was sad though

[ziljin]

@P00nez Well different people like different stuff. 08th MS Team was good but I did not like the love plot. It was silly. Take that out and I would have enjoyed it a lot.

[KatsuhonoProduction]

@ziljin can't agree more with you on that one. The love story was just too much

[KimiduckProductions]

ok!

[ziljin]

@KimiduckProductions It's a great series btw. Watch it if you get a chance.

[KimiduckProductions]

wheres this from?

[ziljin]

@KimiduckProductions If you mean which Gundam series, its from Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team.
