Whether you like it or not, PG 1/60 Strike Freedom sure takes the spotlight, or at least part of it.

Gunpla of all sorts being sold in the shop section. As mentioned in previous years they are relatively expensive compared to the ones sold in hobby shops. Only the event exclusive ones are worth buying in the area IMHO.

Looking down at the main venue from above. Not sure why they have made the centre area so empty this time compared to the previous years, where there's always something big showcasing there.


Overall Gundam Expo Hong Kong 2010 seems... Not as fabulous as the ones I have been in the past. Maybe I have gone there a bit too early, but I have not managed to see many BAKUC entries or events going on on the stage area. It may have been that I have been unlucky and chose some bad timing for it. Hopefully we will see this place being more lively and concentrated next time.

  2. Destiny with yellow colour scheme? Hmm... Interesting. A person-scale 00 and Unicorn?? And I'm strangely attracted to that clear SD Unicorn Gundam... It's looking real good!

  3. Awesome, thanks again for the great coverage Buddy, I wish I could have been there. I like the PG RX-78-1 - reminds me of mine before I repainted it to the G3.

    I see there's some new Stand Arts and FW Gatchapons coming out, that's awesome!

  4. Ah the PG Strike Freedom Gundam. Still waiting for mine to be delivered. Actually, it's in the local depot near my family home cos I wanted to send it to where my other PG kits were but there's been bad weather all christmas so no deliveries.

    Had I known it was there, I would have picked it up while I was back for the Christmas break!!!

  6. @ gunpla:
    Normal Gunpla kits as well as some event limited ones which I will list below

    - 1/144 HG 00 Raiser w/ GN Sword III Metallic Colour ver.
    - 1/144 HGUC RX-78-2 G30th Clear Special ver.
    - 1/100 MG Destiny Gundam Heine Westenfluss Custom
    - 1/100 MG RX-78-2 Ver. 2.0 Clear Special ver.
    - BB Senshi Unicorn Gundam Clear Special ver.
    - Robot Damashii 00 Raiser (GN Condenser Type)
    - 1/144 HG Gunpla Builders Byaku Shiki (i.e. white Hyaku Shiki)

    @ Lightning Sabre:
    That's supposedly Heine Westenfluss' (i.e. TM Revolution) custom colour. You're interested in the clear colour SD Unicorn Gundam? Interesting~ I wonder whether it's the red 'inner frame' that got you intereted ^^

    @ korewagundam:
    Glad you like my coverage, even though I haven't finished filling the captions yet!

    The new Stand Arts will have S Gundam, Delta Plus, and Char's Gelgoog, the 2nd series for Gundam FW Converge looks promising!

    @ gundamjehutykai:
    Whoa so you will get PG Strike Freedom even though you don't like it much, because it's a PG o_o I'm sure you don't need my advice already, but do be careful of its fragile wings and their joints.

    Too bad with the bad weather in UK; the snow storm seems to worsen recently. Hope you won't get to rage so much over the Strike Freedom compared to 00 Raiser, but it's hard to say how you'll experience it until you have your hands on it I suppose.

    @ B-Mecha:
    The 2nd series for Gundam FW Converge does look better than I thought. The headphones do look attractive, but the price kinda puts me off ^^;

  7. Just posted Part 2 of the expo. The PG Gundam that was displayed that we saw the other day was replaced with Katoki's custom kits ^^
