There's a Bandai webstore? O_o. Link it! How much did you pay for shipping? Are they shipping right out of Japan?

It's not a Bandai webstore. It's a webstore in the Netherlands and they apparently take requests from customers as well, which I never knew. They only ship in the Netherlands so you're out of luck there. And yeah, they ship straight from Japan which means my Zeta Gundam arrives around the 20th. I only have to pay for the Dutch shipping costs, so not for the shipping from Japan to the Netherlands. That means I only have to pay ?6,75. They also have a summer sale which gives me 5% off of the Gunpla price :D

I was going to use Hobby Link yesterday as well. That was before I got a reply to the email that I sent to the Dutch webstore. I was better off ordering it through them.

That Gundam F95 look great for a resin.

This looks pretty awesome as well!

Note: It's not the ver. Kai of the Rezel. The modeller just called it Kai.

^Yeah, lol. It looks more like an actual site than a mobile suit. It doesn't look like a Gundam at all, that's for sure.

That RX-78 GP04 Head Model looks awesome. And that paint job on the ReZEL Type C [Defenser b-Unit] looks great as well.

Kio has been annoying since the first episode in which they introduced him, imo. The only proper Gundam pilot from Gundam AGE is Asemu. I like his character the most out of all the Gundam AGE characters. And Woolf from Asemu's arc after that.

This looks pretty darn good:

And this ... as well!

@Razorwing: Loving the paint job on that 00 Raiser.

I found Flit and Kio to be way too young to be a Gundam pilot. It was alright in Victory Gundam's pilot Uso, but in Gundam AGE it's just annoying. Asemu's character is just way more badass and whatnot imo. Also, I wouldn't have minded if all the 3 arcs where 3 separate series. Thing's would've felt less rushed and they could've at least had more time developing characters instead of developing with flashbacks during battles.

^Seen that earlier today but felt too lazy to post it, haha. Though as much as I want to get it, I'm going to have the MG version of it and keep it at that. Otherwise the meaning of the MG version that I'm getting won't be that special.

Thanks Jam, the S Gundam is looking awesome.

Ebi: are you having troubles with the shoulders? Once you put the top part in don't force it..it's just a nudge or you might break it. lol. You also have to reverse the two side panels on the head for NTD mode. ;).

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval by David Uzondu Image via @realDonalTrump (X) As OpenAI prepares the release of its next model, GPT 5.6, the White House has instructed the company to limit the distribution of the software to a small group of government-approved partners instead of the general public, as it has done with previous releases. According to The Information, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman sent an internal memo to staff on Thursday explaining that the federal government will approve access "customer by customer" during an initial preview phase. Altman noted in the communication that this restrictive rollout is "not [their] long-term model" for software deployment, and the company plans to work toward a "more sustainable" distribution method later. CNN said that both OpenAI and the Trump administration view the capabilities of GPT 5.6 on the same level as Anthropic's Mythos and that government officials intend to "collaborate with frontier AI labs to develop shared approaches for addressing the challenges of scaling this technology." The latest restriction comes just weeks after the US Commerce Department decided to restrict Fable, a version of Mythos with extra safety "guardrails" to prevent users from exploiting software vulnerabilities. Not long after the release, though, researchers at Amazon found a way to bypass these restrictions, prompting an aggressive response from federal authorities. The government ordered Anthropic to cut off access for non-US citizens located outside the US, non-US citizens living inside the US, and incredibly, even Anthropic's own foreign-born employees. Anthropic now appears to be building a workaround to resolve this compliance block with an update to its Privacy Policy that introduces a category called "Verification Data" to handle KYC and Digital IDs. This setup could mandate digital identity checks to filter users by nationality, requiring a government-issued ID and facial biometric data. Who knows? Maybe in the future, you would have to scan your US Passport or State ID to prove your citizenship before you are allowed to chat with Fable 5 (or any other model).
    • When Windows 7 was released I created an AutoHotkey script that uses Alt+` as a keyboard shortcut to move a window across monitors. I have been using that script for over 15 years and this is the first time I have come across another app that uses the same shortcut!
    • I called it last year that they wouldn't end support when they said there would. There are too many people still on Windows 10 waiting for something better to upgrade to and 11 ain't it! The recent promises of fixing Windows 11's many problems is nice, but unless they deliver on those promises in a big way then I expect customers will still want to stick with 10.
    • Full ACK. I went too far adressing your post specifically. And as you said, it up to us customers as participant of the market dynamic as it happens to decide whether we spend our money on a product or not. The responsibility is to the company. In case of this price hike one could assume that MS is expecting or even starting to see a new interest in XBox hardware so they want to avoid losses per unit sold. I find it fair enough that they granted a period in which everyone interested could grab a unit for the current price (Amazon.de has a reliable stock of XBox Series X digital, which I bought last December after having sold my day one Series X a year ago). It is not that they cash up their customers starting on Monday. Cheers and let's cling to our perfectly fine hardware as long as we deem it worthy in relation to purchasing something new!
