A Little RX-78-2 Rework

Core Booster Victory!

Still alive in Japan! Picked this up today from the big department store, Yodobashi Camera, in Akihabara. Decided to get this (and probably RG RX-78-2) because I'm fairly sure I can fit them in my carry-on when I fly home next week. That was my main concern, just not having enough space in my luggage to bring stuff back, but hopefully those two boxes are thin enough. The price was really good too, 1610 yen, almost 30% off. No shipping fee either!

Hopefully I'll get some other things tomorrow as well (they were sold out of the RG RX-78-2 today).

Leaving for Japan!

Wow, I really did mean to update my blog before I left, but I guess that won't happen... Where did all the time go?  So yeah, I'm leaving for Tokyo tomorrow, going to be staying there for 6 weeks!  Not sure what I'm going to be doing there exactly, aside from seeing a friend who lives there... but it should be good!  Maybe I'll get to see the 1/1 Gundam at Fuji.

The things that I would have like to have posted would be:  MG Wing Gundam which is all constructed and requiring decals, and MG Shin Musha Gundam which is almost entirely constructed.  Maybe I can get that done when I get back, or maybe Gunpla will sort of phase out of my life a little bit... seems like it already has in the past couple months.  I might not really get a chance to do any more this next year.  So, who knows, maybe I'll come back in full force in a couple years!  Or sooner!  That's a long time, I know, but I still have lots of kits left to do!

To my small reader base, thank you for all the comments and support.  I started this blog with no intention of anyone reading it, something of a hobby journal I suppose, so I was surprised and grateful when people began to comment.  I know readers have probably dropped off by now because of my inactivity over the last month or so, but I hope this message gets to you.  I suppose this may be bye for now, however I may update with little things I see in Japan.  I hope I can at least!  Definitely if I see the 1/1 RG Gundam.

3D Dot Game Heroes

So I just got this game for PS3, 3d Dot Game Heroes. As all the playable characters (and entire world) are made of pixel blocks, they let you make your own character. So of course, I just had to make a little SD RX-78-2. On the back, which you can't see, I have the beam sabers and the backpack. Since they give you some choices for attack animations, I put one of beam sabers in the hand when it attacks. Too bad I can't make the shield too!

Anyone else have this game? It's obviously not too original (except for the art style), but it's pretty fun (cheaper than most games too!)
