[MB] ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam Metal Build Edition

I pre-ordered this one since around September 2013 through GG infinite website. This metal build, which I just realised, that it is an already assembled kit with interchangeable weapons and shields only lol... So it's only good for posing ~.~

Because I pre-ordered it from GG infinite (before I found out about HLJ or HAG), which was based in US, it really took almost a month and 1 week to get it over to me since it's released in December 2013. So after the MG Exia Repair II will be my last order from them..

My first and last metal build anyway, unless they release Metal Build version of Strike Freedom, I will re-consider again lol...

[Update 1 Feb 14] Latest Haul from HLJ & GG Infinite... The Biggest!!!

Ok it might not be the biggest, because majority of the items I'm ordering were hobby tools, hence the reason why my shipment list is so long lol...

You might be wondering why is there an Optimus Prime in my shipment lol... Well I was also a fan of Transformers the movie, and I chanced upon this kit and were quite impressed by it's inner frame and the articulation of it. The tools I ordered were to further improve my kits and stuffs lol...

*Update 1st Feb 14: I'm wondering why HLJ is a bit slow this year... Perhaps it's because of their competition that they're busy with? Totally understandable if it's that reason lol...

*Update same day: Well, they finally shipped out.. I was getting worried that they might ship out on Monday but no lol... So I would be expecting them to arrive on Monday instead. Good timing, since I've taken off-in-lieu for Monday lol... 

One more thing which I had forgotten lol... My order for Metal Build Destiny from GG Infinite has finally shipped out!

And a valuable lesson learnt for me, and that's not to order items without checking other places (I learnt that long ago, so once my order for Exia Repair 2 has shipped, I will start placing pre-orders with HAG for items that are exclusive or special lol...

[New] Metal Build Destiny now available in HAG!

Hobby Art Gallery (HAG) has finally gotten the stock of Metal Build Destiny Gundam! For those who have previously pre-ordered can now collect it at either HAG or HAW and those who didn't can call in to check if they have any more stocks for walk-in sale.

So now I have to wait for gginfinite to receive those metal build Destiny... I will probably turn to do business with HAG next time since it's local lol...

[New] Metal Build Destiny Gundam Release Date 28 December 2013!

At first I didn't really know when is the exact release date for this in December 2013, until some kind person showed me a site with all the exact release dates of the items that are releasing. Thanks alot! =)

Personally, I was attracted by it's design and plus it's has some metal components in it. But however nice it is, this is probably my first and last time I would buy a metal build kits. The price of this metal build Destiny is one of the reason, but the main reason is that I misunderstood that metal build kits are actually pre-assembled. But however, my understanding from it was like some sort special MG kit that are metal build version.

Yes I am that noob (LOL!) and until when I do a search and chanced upon the metal build Exia Repair, only then I realized that it was already pre-assembled with swapping accessories. I felt kinda betrayed at first because I'm only interested in building kits, but afterwards I felt stupid because I didn't check it up beforehand lol

But anyway, I will still enjoy it when it arrive. I'll just make it do some nice poses lol...
