Just came back from Kinokuniya today and I was lucky to get the second issue of Hobby Japan 2011. It cost me $38.90 SGD for those interested in the pricing. Though I am disappointed with the 00 Quanta in the actual movie, it has not dampened my want to complete it with the GN Sword IV Full Saber. Now I have not yet began to assemble the Saber as of yet but hopefully I’ll get to do so in between my Sinanju’s paint job this weekend. Do note the HG Quanta is not included in this issue lol….
Its a very nice and simple box. Compared to the XN Raiser box that I had, this is way cooler.
Personally, what I feel is the biggest win about this release is that they actually gave not only colored parts but also clear green parts! Previous special part releases were all in pure white…not exactly a fantastic choice for those who don’t like to paint. Hope future releases will be following in such foot steps.
The magazine itself is fairly detailed. You’ll be taught step by step on how to paint all the various parts of the Full Saber. But what I am most impressed are the crazy mods all done with the Saber…below are a few highlights of the many mods inside…
Damn it..I am so needing the SD version…
If only Graham had this in the movie…..
Well just sharing with you this little wonderful loot for the last of this year! Stay tuned for the snap fit review coming up later this weekend along with updates for the pink Sinanju lol 😛

thanks for giving us a peak at some of the cool stuff in the mag, and about the SD Quant… you might be winning one soon, im expecting an epic Sinanju kick from ya 😀
Lol, I only noticed it till you mention!! Guess I was so engross with the other details I didin’t notice ‘it’ sticking out lol….
Nah, I am figuring the winner is you given all the mods you have done bro!!! And hehe about that kick…
Dammit~! If I could get that addon I WILL buy the HG Qan[T], but alas… T_T
Ah you didn’t preorder online?
Don’t have a credit card (I just canceled mine recently)…
Ah man….
when i wonder this will arrive in Malaysia=l Oh well i am looking forward on your build=) lucky i bought only HGOOQ=)
Ah I won’t be doing the build that quickly. Just probably the snap fit and a simple review!
nice loot, expecting mine to be arriving soon
Cool! Can’t wait to see your work on that soon!
You are fast to get this and assembling it. LOL Congrats!
Ah its assembled!!
nice loot! heh.. i figured you’ll be getting this too.. since you’ve ninja built the Qan[T] gundam! haha. expecting mine to arrive after the new year! ^^ ahhhh more back logssss…. anyway, Happy New Year chubbs!
Happy new year to you too Ren!! Haha maybe we do group build next year for this lol 😛
More ninja builds!!
where did u buy from?
I got it from Bugis Kinokuniya ^^
That’s a really nice accessory. Even if kinokuniya doesnt have i alr reserved one at hobby poiny so i dont have to worry ^^
Haha you should reserve 3 of these babies man!!
expensive….but awesome
should’nt it cost about $20-25?
Regularly, its costs about $23 sgd for a normal magazine and close to $32 for a special add on. Inflation at its best lol…
I would say value for money 😛
Those mods are really awesome! Can’t wait to get my hands on this. 😀
Its really a feast for the eyes! Enjoy this issue!!
Whoa…tht enhancement are surely cool since it was compatible with zabanya, harute, raphael instead 00Q 😀
Yep! You can use it on everyone else haha! But I feel it still looks the best on 00Q though.
Nice get! Can’t wait to get my own hands on one. But the price seems to be higher than usual even for an issue with an extra. o.O
ah yes the price is much steeper this time round. My guess is due to giving both colored plastic and the clear green parts. And the magazine is choked full of mods also…one of the best issues that I have seen. To me its worth every cent!
DAT FLAG SABER!
Uber!! Epic 😛 I think with this the ending for the Gundam 00 Movie would have been totally different..
wow. Flag Saber>>> Quant Saber! Congrats on getting yours :D. my bookstore still haven’t gotten it yet but hopefully I can be there to pick it up when it comes out. The boxart for the FS set looks really good.
Ah can’t wait to see your review Z plus the delicious poses and photos! I am tempted to get another one just for the Flag Saber…./Masurao Saber….just looks damn good…
Damn! you got it earlier than me haha gonna hunt for it this weekend 😀
Happy hunting!! I am sure you will be happy with this new loot 😛
I wouldn’t be surprised if this is release later with a HG Quanta several months later. But you bought two, what are you gonna use the other one for?
Not too sure about re releasing this. These add ons are suppose to be a one time release.
Oh I didn’t get 2, I only got one so far 😛
Oh I see, I must have read wrong… >.>
Hmmm…Maybe i try to mod the Full saber into the SD OO Qan(T)
Haha then get 2 magazines then!!
Nice! It’s been a while since my last visit here… Pink Sinanju, huh? Will read some of your previous posts soon.
Saw a colleague of mine bought this issue as well. Pretty important and not to be missed for 00 Gunpla follwers!
Yep definitely bro!! Not to be missed for 00 Gunpla collectors!
The magazine mentions that the Taiwanese issue will have the kit as well, but I can’t be sure whether Hong Kong will have it, so I got one myself the Japanese issue too ^^;
Gosh that GN Sword IV full saber really is expensive O_O, but my 00Q seems to incomplete without it T.T
If it cost about $30 plus I’ll probably grab 2 haha…but yes its quite expensive!!
One of my picks from Hobbylink Japan, I do found one during my trip to Japan. Though, I didn’t mind the magazine, I picked one for the Full Saber alone. For US$18, I think it’s a good price.
Ah thats quite a good price I must say. Its cost about SGD $38 odd here…..
