I was surprised at how big the box was, and felt a little overwhelmed by the amount of runners in the box. I started building and I have finished up to stage 2. This has been my favourite build so far. The detail is amazing. Thanks for being a great supplier in Europe. The work you do is awesome.

Super service, hurtigt som mulig afsending, hyggelig besked i pakken, top kvalitet produkter - både model og værktøjer.
Anbefaler absolut. 10/10

Jeg er japansk som har været meget vild med først Gundam fra starten ! Hvor er den smuk... Desuden billigere end i Japan, hvor den er stadigvæk solgt i ekstra pris og svært at finde. Tak for tilbud i Danmark !

I honestly love the giant, it's details and intricacies, its a sight to behold all along the build

Brillant quality that was worth the price and wait. Fasr delivery considering the long distance between contries, customs review took about a week, though. The packaging was not bad but i do wish it had included a bit bubble wrap for extra protection. That said again, thr quality of the item is brilliant and made the long wait and cost completely worth it.

The best kit, I've ever put together (So far). The details are superb and the build is sturdy. A high recommend, as a first PG kit to try out.

PG Unleashed RX-78-2 Gundam 1/60

It is one of the best model kits to get.

I think a lot of us recognize and understand that it's not about having a "toy robot" on the shelf, it's about looking at it and saying 'I did that, I put that together'.
In essence gunpla isn't as much about the end result as it is an experience and Bandai seems to have recognized this and made it the focus of this kit and more recently, the MGEX Strike Freedom, the build being a layered model where you see the inner frame, the structural supports and then the armor plating and details.

You can of course go further, paint, topcoat, add decals do weathering and modifications, but for most the experience stops before then.

Aesthetics:
The 'Unleashed' part of PGU means that it is a design not constrained by animation limits but also that Bandai's technology has come to a point where they can make a large standing model with a lot of working parts without it falling over or coming apart.
That means this model has a different aesthetic and details than other RX-78-2 models, but it is similar to the RG/MG 3.0, with a shallow chest and a protruding cockpit hatch. In many ways it feels like a different Real Grade design (meaning realism) based on the anime accurate proportions.

In short, there's a little bit of everything in here, but most notably there's a ton of RG style decals and the first model to feature etching stickers and 'jewel' stickers (foil stickers with a hard plastic front).

Only regular stickers, no waterslides, which is disappointing considering the cost.

Build Experience:
It is a near flawless experience, it's easy, the instructions are clear, you won't struggle to understand what goes where or how and I had no frustrations during the process, except one, which is that one of the pre-mold skirt parts just snapped immediately as soon as I put the slightest bit of pressure on it, which it is objectively supposed to handle, since it's meant to move.
This is the first time out of nearly a hundred kits where user error was not involved, it was simply a brittle and defective part. A rare occurence, I hope.

This is my second Perfect Grade and I have to admit that I actually enjoyed the 2002 Mk-II more. I chalk this up to the PGU being a little too effortless to build, whereas with the Mk-II I struggled a little, which ironically made for a more satisfying result. It's no secret that a part of being a human is that we flourish in adversity.

Mechanics:
Bandai writes that they made an effort to have the core block not be an obstruction to the articulation and.... it's not really true.
While they downsized the block/fighter and added extensions that serve as a pseudo ab-crunch and a lifting chest, this thing doesn't bend or tilt in any convincing way. Neither do most PG's, but MG's are much further along in articulation.
The limbs and shoulders are good, there's a waist gimmick that I don't really understand the purpose of, but the main feature of this model kit isn't its good range of movement, it's the fact that it's well balanced and very sturdy. Until you lift it by the chest and the bottom half falls off. I don't understand why it doesn't have a locking feature.

Arms and legs are pre-molded, so I have no idea how well they'll hold up. Right now it's better than my screwed together Mk-II but in the future it might become a sloppy mess.

The LED feature is awkward and the presets are unnecessarily varied with different colors. Whatever happened to an on/off switch??

Equipment:
Gun, 2 swords and a board (with magnetic attachment!).
No bazooka, but you get a 3rd beam saber with an LED, which looks nice but is unstable and flickers. The gimmick where you put it in the backpack to light up the verniers is weak however, a great idea but not enough power.

You get both a core block and fighter. You get 4 pairs of fixed hands all with a wrist hinge, no articulated fingers which is a departure from the PG articulated fingers. It's sturdier and looks better, but it's obviously a limitation.

Conclusion:
Bandai themselves state that this is the culmination of 40 years of design and it's a great product, but it has its unwelcome annoyances, if you care about the price. As an experience though, you'll enjoy this immensely.

As a working model, I can't complain. It's fun to open hatches and it stands just fine. I think they did a good job on the details, but I prefer it without all the stickers, both decals and shiny jewel ones, I think they detract and make it look busy. I may change my mind at some point and add some.

In comparison to the usual “oh how cool” moments, this set has been a true joy to not only build. To appreciate the engineering and design decisions that went into this behemoth of a set is without a doubt just as important to keep in mind if you even consider putting your money towards this project. The Articulation, colour mixes and actual metal pieces, plating and panel lining and the build-in LEDs are fantastic. Worth every penny.
Would recommend all the way. Also, should our to Jesper for great service and support.
If you have the option - add the Water decals and a decent action stand to this set too.

Min första gunpla och jag älskar den! Snabb leverans. Bra kundbemötande. Nöjd med allt! - Gustav

PG Unleashed RX-78-2 Gundam 1/60

Denne Gundam er helt fantastisk til enhver samling, og på trods af det væld af detaljer der er bygget ind i den er den overraskende let og samle, de medfølgende stickers er bare en bonus, men metal stickers er ikke de bedste til og holde fast til palstikken så jeg vil råde enhver som vil bygge denne til og vente med dem til at de dele som sidder ovenpå dem skal sættes på så del e kan holde stickeren på plads, ellers en genial model og et sjovt byg

Den bedste PG model kit jeg har bygget dato

God service og hurtig levering.

Kanon!

En af de bedst PG gundam kits. Anbefale.

Jeg har brugt godt et halvt år på at male, bygge og decale den her Gundam.

Og det er et episk kit. Fantastisk sjovt at bygge, med mange fede detaljer og muligheder for at customize. Den unikke måde man bygge den på, i lag, var virkelig en oplevelse.

Flotte detaljer på de ydre panser, med kig til diverse forkromede dele.

Selv uden at gøre andet end at samle dette kit, vil man ende med en Perfect Grade, der trods sin mindre størrelse, der virkelige har ser rigtig flot ud i kabinettet.

Kan på det varmeste anbefales hvis man vil springe ud i en PG. Og er til at gå til selv for relativt nye byggere.

Ps: og så ender man med en beam saber der ligner et lys sværd, og hvor cool er det ikke lige.
