I find "Entry Grade" kits interesting. They're not bad and a real Gunpla master can make them absolutely stunning, but if there was a project where you wanted to test out some new methods, I feel the Entry Grade kits are the way to go.
I can't agree more. I'm a sucker for RX 78 and i used EGs for my customs. Not that expensive and since its "plain and simple" there is an endless possibility in customization.
Yeah, i also used EG's for testing kitbuild techniques, usually for painting and scribing experiments. I hope Bandai has future plans for releasing grunt units EG kits.
I wanted to learn better psinting so i got some EGs painted as proto, realtype and G3 color gundams. Ive learned a ton of stuff and now i have some great customs for cheap
I think for Metaverse they should've just gone for a series of short 5-6 minute episodes and did a series of Battlelogue-esque fantasy fights with much tighter animation. That said, they did get these kits out there, and I really do like Build-style kits - albeit they can heavily vary in quality - for their ability to stand out on the shelf with their eccentricities.
5-6 minutes is too short. All they need to do was squeeze out 1 or 2 more episodes which focused on the main character actually doing something useful.
The pour type panel liner is ideal for parts BEFORE you connect the plastic parts together.After you connect the plastics there is some force in the plastic where it may cause the plastic to crack and the panel linear flows into the plastic and makes it goofy.I haven't really used them before but this is just some information I learned about
Regarding Lah's performance in the anime: The anime was short to begin with, and character growth was not the focus of Rio's character. This, of course is coupled by the fact that Rio is pitted with or against versions of previous protagonists (with just as impressive mechs) and he definitely falls off. Trust me, if the anime was maybe 12 episodes long, Rio would've had at least an upgrade pack for Lah.
@@Doctorme4 Im talking about the lah gundam not the strike I guess you could do that but it seems like its a melee focused unit could update it in different ways just dont know what bandai would do to make the lah gundam become extremely unique
Entry Grade kits are so cool! Lah Gundam was my first Entry Grade kit I want to try and build and it came out quite nicely, with a little bit of paint detailing to not make it look cheap and it's done.
I'm fine with usual 12 episode of most anime these days. But they did cram most stuff in from various build series with just 3 episodes and there's a lot of gunpla kits coming out of this.
@@GojiraFan-in9oo That still isn't so bad for a three episode anime. WFM on the other hand has more things missing. What about the terrorist? Are we going to see the other Lfriths? Is the conflict between spacians and Earth based humans resolved? None of those get answered while Build Metaverse already explains pretty much everything. People really need to watch more anime if they think Build Metaverse's pacing is bad.
Idea wise it’s not bad, execution and intentions behind it for a metaverse pushing for NFTs that have become worthless downright awful. Really wish they could just do another gundam breaker console game that’d focus on this cause the idea and setting for the game is there, and despite new gundam breaker I’m pretty sure a lot of fans want to see a return to glory for the game.
@@MusicFan752 I concur with your idea. They should have just released a new Breaker game which includes a "metaverse" portal where all players (Steam, consoles, etc) could meet up, show off designs, and buy new kits using in game currency or real money. If you buy a real kit, you also get a digital version which you could use the parts for your builds.
I don’t know what Lah means, but I like the super robot styling of it. It’s definitely a throwback to 70s style samurai themed super robots and I’m into it!
I just got the EG Lah Gundam Shisaku Ichigata and found that it had all the equipment that the regular Lah Gundam has. Like the La Shield and Beam La Naginata, and Beam La Riffle (You'd just swap out its regular scope for the other). So you can have Lah Gundam Sangata's original weapons in Shisaku's/G3 colors. It's Awesome! 🎉
Honesty the Gundam Build Metaverse anime was a lot of fun with that and the new kits being the best parts of Bandai's Gundam Metaverse thing. Also it finally all but confirm that Build Fighters/Try and Build Divers/Re:rise are in the same universe.
Waiting for Kamiki's new close combat gundam. Caught my interest cause it resembles Master Gundam with the full cloak on. Shame the series is only 3 episodes.
Lmao why are the shots from the series in the beginning from the back. The subtle one on the background that was all a$$ had me rewinding and dying. Lol
This is the only protagonist gundam i didn't buy in gundam build series but after seeing this vidoe i saw some good parts for custom building specially the shield, spear, head and shoulder.
He's talked about this on one of his organizing vids; basically, he keeps the bigger boxes (large HGs, MG boxes) and ones with art he likes to use as storage, the rest he just flattens and throws them in the recycling
I’m just shocked EG kits are able to master no stickers in the head consistently while only a very small little fraction of HGs don’t have it heck even MGs and RGs are in that boat.
Amazing review as always. May I give a recommendation? Will you mae a video review about the HG STRIKE FREEDOM REVIVE? They are one of the early seed kits in 2016. But they were pretty good
I remembered something about the thin red plastic on my MG Shining Gundam Shoulder armor are very thin and show signs of stress marks. Could it be related to stressed red plastic material almost non durable on the hip joints on EG gundams?
Honestly, I feel like people were expecting too much from Build Metaverse when it only has three episodes and for said amount of episodes, how much they jam in them and how it is written is done great. Honestly, I have seen longer shows that have worser pacing and have more plot holes like unpopular opinion here, WFM is one of them and I liked that anime mind you. Anyway, the kit seems fine as it is just the EG Gundam anyway. Would prefer the base kit to be the Revive so it doesn't get as loose easily but it'll be decent painting pratice for the missing details at least.
what's kinda funny is how the name is pronounced as in "Lah" is the Hawaiian sun god but in Japanese because they have issues of differentiating "'L" and "R" they sometimes pronounced as "Rah" as in the Egyptian sun god instead of the Hawaiian sun god but still similar in meaning anyways, lol.
I bought the entry grade nu gundam for my first kit ever. After time passed the joints started getting loose and the whole kit started falling apart. Has this happened to anyone else and does anyone know if this will happen to this kit too?
I’ve been building gunpla for a while now and I think they should have made the hips a peg socket joint instead of ball socket it would have worked better with these entry grade kit it would have been easier and more convenient for the kits just my opinion no judgement
Lemme hijack the comment section for a moment if I may. Mecha, I know you've moved your collection around the world a few times, and since I'm about to cross the pond I was wondering if you have any tips to ensure my gunpla arrive in one piece? Maybe a video about it?
Is it possible to spray paint the plastic beam effects to make them red? The RX-78-2 also came with the clear Javelin, could it be spray painted pink to be more accurate?
I find "Entry Grade" kits interesting. They're not bad and a real Gunpla master can make them absolutely stunning, but if there was a project where you wanted to test out some new methods, I feel the Entry Grade kits are the way to go.
Agreed, I used a EG nu to test out scribing and the kit really lends itself well for experimentation

Do it after nipping the plastic off the runners and before connecting the plastics.

I kinda like that a Build Fighters protag didn't have some ridiculous system and was just... a kid with an original modified model.
@@ArcheTelos It's the power of "i love loving to love gunpla, so do you" It's the build version of newtype awakenning i think. XD

9:40 that’s the craziest design ever for a beam Saber lol. Love it
Honestly, I'm a sucker for anything RX-78-2 related. I'll probably get it and paint it in the OG tri-color.
Yeah me too. I wanna take one of these and scribe it, make it closer to the RX with my own mods here and there
Why not just take the weapons from the Lah Gundam and put it on the Entry Grade RX78-2. That way you'll save time.
Added Backpack and More HG and SD Accessories Kit Compatible with EG 1/144 Lah Gundam

Oof. Even the Gundam mega fan is slandering the Metaverse. Seems like the only good coming out of the OVA was some new Mobile Suit designs.

Not just them, but Gundam Breaker Battlogue as well. I was incredibly happy with the fact that they were so committed to making that canon as well.

finally, someone speaking sense in here
I lost it when the Barbatos decided to just fall on its own.
That's those infamous IBO feetz for you.

Vid on your ibo custom when
This is the only protagonist gundam i didn't buy in gundam build series but after seeing this vidoe i saw some good parts for custom building specially the shield, spear, head and shoulder.
FINALLY a new Entry Grade.
What do you usually do with your gundam boxes after building your Gundam? Do you keep it or throw it away? Put it on display?
He's talked about this on one of his organizing vids; basically, he keeps the bigger boxes (large HGs, MG boxes) and ones with art he likes to use as storage, the rest he just flattens and throws them in the recycling
You wouldnt download a gundam
They should have made more episodes or just made it a movie
Mecha, have you found 30MM Acerby yet in your area??? Please review it if you can 😅
Love the Gundam details, surprised by the missing shaka too! 🤔🤖
I think with the release of the gundam metaverse game in Japan, they're creating or choosing grades that are gonna work in the game.
Just bought this today on a whim, and you can, in fact, make it an RX-78-2. I did just because I love me a Gramps variant
0:01 She got the bakery intrusidy💀
Magee is a guy.
I love how this kit is basically just a normal Entry Grade RX-78-2 Gundam with a little customization and that's it.
that "bye bye" get me
Saw someone on twitter customized lah gundam from beyond global rx, not finished yet but it was good

Hey, a new video during the first minute? Good timing right here.
0:52 I see what you did there *:))))))*
this gundam deserved at least 12 episodes
I have 6 entry grade kits and I didn't even bought them cause they're give aways on a local anime con here in my country
What a plot twist intro😅
If you make another tips & tricks video, could you include how you top coat your gunpla? IBO kits in particular
i just realized these entry grade rx-78's have the same construction as the hg o type acd gundam
The beam blade looks like candy
this is the most Singaporean gundam you can find. Lah, Leh, Loh.
0:50 bruhhh 😂
Can you review the 1/60 sh studio gundam barbatos?
HG Barbie falling flat on its face is very in character for HG IBO.
Good ol polycap lottery.
Magee's butt i can't 💀💀💀

I only get this kit for kitbashing and make my version of the real type RX 78 2 and put the blue piece un this kit
What is that THICCness? XD
I cannot wait to print….. I mean buy it
Yeah! Somehow Palpati... Reiji returned.
I wanna kitbash this kit with Origin RX-78 once I get Lah Gundam
Hell yeah dudes crypto luigi gonna sell us some gunpla

Please do a review of the Shin Burning Gundam
Mr.Gaikotsu pls make a review of

An you review the hg strike freedom
I’ve been out of the Gunpla scene for a while. Are Entry Grades essentially just improved No Grades that are under HGs?
Simple but beautiful

Wow. Another nice kit in entry grade
They made variants of the EG Strike and EG Grandaddy, but they forgot about the real goatted Entry Grade kit that is the Nu Gundam
I buily my first gundam last week!!!! A entry grade RX-78-2!!!!!
LAHHHH GUNDAM !?!
Colour it green and put some Zeon iconography and it's now The La-Lah Gundam.
Thank you Bandai, not buying this one, unless needed.
Its kinda funny that the Grandaddy Gundam suffers from hip problems. Getting old sucks!
Have the hips on your Lah Gundam broken since?
In my lcoal target on the west coast this Lah Gundam costs $13 ish before tax
what's kinda funny is how the name is pronounced as in "Lah" is the Hawaiian sun god but in Japanese because they have issues of differentiating "'L" and "R" they sometimes pronounced as "Rah" as in the Egyptian sun god instead of the Hawaiian sun god but still similar in meaning anyways, lol.
