Stupid question, where can I find these model kits for a good price in the us?

a quick search on google : Rainbow 10, Hobby Link Japan I'm not sure where (store wise) in the US. But you can order them online. If there is a chinatown near you, they might have it too. Just don't buy the knockoffs lol.

The LED for the head of my PG Strike Freedom.

If it didn't come with batteries then you have to buy them somewhere I guess :p

Requires 2x LR41 batteries for LED sold separately.

A quick Google search gave me that answer. And another page which says the same: PG Strike Freedom WIP 5

what are some sites to get some of these, mainly interested in the Epyon / Deathscythe ( Master Grade or Perfect Grade, im assuming they are the more acurate grades, mine have HG on them, so im assuming that means High Grade )

Sorry, can't help you with that as I buy them through retailers in the Netherlands. You'd want to start with MG before you throw yourself into a PG build to get the hang of it all.

@Razorwing: Yeah, I'd rather have the MG of that one as well as any Freedom type Gundam should have it's backpack displayed in full glory. I'd buy RG of the ones that made an impression on me like the RX-78-2.

for Epyon there is only 1 MG.

for Deathscythe, there are two versions of the MG.

and

MG+Deathscythe+Hell+Custom+EW+box+art.jpg

so make sure you choose the one that you like. They are similar kits, but yet different.

Yeah, it's a legend. lol. I'm really wanting to pick up the Dynasty Warriors : Gundam 3 game for the 360.

I wish they had made some Gundam games for the iPhone 4 which I could play :p

I've played Gundam Fighting Spirits on iOS and while the gameplay/graphics are decent; the controls leave a lot to be desired :/

I think I need an X-Box now after seeing that trailer >_>

@RadishTM: I had figured as much tbh. It just looks odd playing fighting games on iOS. Same goes for Street Fighter which uses similar controls. I wanted to buy it before watching a YouTube review of it. After watching the review I had changed my mind, lol. I much rather have a controller attached underneath the iPhone, like those Android devices with keyboards, if I'd want to play a fighting game on iOS.

Not sure what other type of Gundam game they could make for iOS :/

@Razorwing: I've read that they do plan on making an HG version off of it. I also saw a picture of it with the text "Future lineup" underneath. Found said image:

Though I really dislike HG, LOL. I've got a HG 1/100 Gundam Sandrock Gunpla and I really dislike it as a Gunpla. Though it was a gift so I shouldn't and can't complain.

Would be an awesome MG addiction. An MG version of Gadessa would be more then welcome too, lol. I'd love to have that one as a MG 1/100.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
