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. ;).

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
