correct. It doesn’t hurt to have them because you are not charged extra for it BUT… it might indirectly bump up your shipping charge if that little runner happens to bump the overall weight to the next rate haha.

actually, the clear parts arent optional that u can just ask for them at the counter and they give u them. if the front of the box has that bit of text in a gold box just on the bottom, it comes with a clear part runner. u can chose to not use them, since the original runner is there too. he just isnt getting them BECAUSE of the clear parts.

Hey Z, if you’re not getting these gunplas for the clear parts, does that mean that the clear parts are optional?

Yes it is actually gray. Funny how I can’t recall a single scene where Wing pulled out its beam saber but you can see the gray beam saber in the first opening.

just something random: is the TV ver wing’s beam saber REALLY gray? cuz i think i remember it being white (tho that may be influenced by white being the standard beam saber hilt color)…

Well, that certainly wasn’t the case with similar ones of that decade; my 1/144-scaled Broken Sandrock ver. EW, Altron ver. EW, and White Doll (Turn A) being good examples. I think as with my Turn A, when finished, I’ll try to make a Dalong-esque picture review of the Virsago and two cents below it. And maybe some fun with it afterward. Though I’ve yet to complete short reviews of other recent models of mine (which are HGUCs long-since already reviewed by Dalong)… *shrug* Too bad I can’t have Olba showting “Nii-san!” somewhere in there (I need to stop playing GvGNP too much).
At least one good thing about getting the Virsago is that I don’t need white paint or anything close to that for touching up the model, and what I have at my disposal would likely work out fine for me. I might even skip adding the bigger-than-usual set of foil stickers since it seems I can touch it up through alternative means (and foils don”t cover up all the imperfections).
I half-decided choosing either it or the 1/144 Gundam X for the heck of it, but I’d rather get the HGAW coming out next month if I was dead-set for getting the GX, so I went for Virsago (plus I’d rather get the MG Wing, between it and GX).

And if you’re curious about the figure, it’s an MSiA (transformable) Wing Gundam Zero (Okawara/TV ver.). Thus far, I think asking AceWhatever about it (or reading his review in the MechaTalk forums) is sufficient enough for two cents on it that I can agree to, but it’s nice to have something related to Okawara’s WGZ for a change. I’d rather get a model of it, though. *shrug* Maybe Bandai might throw one or two more bones out for W’s 15th anniversary beyond MG Wing that might increase my incentive for Gunpla with wings.

Like after building new Models, can you like make a new Top 5 easy MG’s. I’m like about to start serious gunpla-ing. So I want something easy!

Yes I do. Of course, I’m also interested in seeing what you’ll do it and the photos obviously :D. Given the terrible color separation of Gunpla back then, I’m sure you won’t just leave it as is.

I just recently received new Gunpla myself… Just one, though (with a new figure), and the model itself isn’t really new. I’m just curious if you would have interest in even just reading about the 1/144-scaled Virsago from Gundam X (once I get around to building it)…
