These P-Bandai set reviews really do help highlight how P-Bandai is a mixed bag. Sometimes, you get gems like the HG Vifam or Gundam Rose (I don't own the latter), or kits like these
Im still dumbfounded as to why they never sold the dainsleifs as an option set instead. Would have actually been a better option than locking it behind an expensive exclusive.
Really appreciate you doing a straight build with what's in the box, even the stickers. As a mainly straight-builder myself it helps to know how much extra effort I'd have to put in to make these look good, and if the stickers are bad. Many reviewers only show painted builds which makes it hard for me to judge how it will look like after I'm done. This one still seems worth it to me, always have the option to paint it up later when I have the space/resources to do so.
I feel like a lot of reviewers weren't comprehensive enough, especially with the stickers since some kits actually have good ones. Sticker quality is also somewhat important for me to cover since most use them selectively or not at all, and it's important to know whether one can get by using just what they provided or if extra work is needed. I'm glad you appreciate the gesture. And if you crave a painting project, this is a good set to go for.
Premium in Premium Bandai doesn't exactly mean a higher quality, but rather that the kit is in limited production and availability. I won't go into a PB kit expecting anything better than any retail kit, and the fact that they decided to take the easy way out here by plastering even separate parts with stickers just doesn't sit well with me
I only care less for being discretionary, but the set is way cooler than I thought.. As for the Dainsleif Graze, it would better if they include the Hloekk Graze as their loaders as per anime accuracy.. Still waiting for your review of the Oltlinde..
Discretionary only means you should expect some jarring flaws going into the set. If you can, then go right ahead. I would've pitched the idea of a quad-set of two Dainsleif Grazes and two Hloekk Grazes as a pack, but we all know Bandai are too lazy to make new molds for random back alley designs. And I'm sorry, but since I have to repaint the green on the Oltlinde, I have to wait for my thinner to arrive. Until then, I've done all I could for that video
Iok graze will be perfect present able if there is Gusion rebake full city with him. Gusion rebake FC with his giant scissor that ready to flattered that IDIOK kujan 🗿

On the one hand at least the villain's got something but on the other hand it's just all right. You got some weapons but apart from the 2 mobile suits that never got model kits until the set there's nothing really here that makes me want to go out and get these things. Also there is the age-old problem of PB giving you weapons for model kits you have and some mobile suits finally getting model kits but they're locked behind PB like this is some horrible gotcha game. And what makes it worse is this won't be the last time they do it in a modern gundam anime...... Glare's angrily at witch from Mercury. Regardless this was still a pretty fine review of the arch enemy set for Ibo for the final battle even if it is pretty much underwhelming.
I'm glad you like the review, and I agree with what you said. PB kits are bad enough, but when they lock cool stuff like the alt loadout of the Julia behind a set, then it's just blatantly asking for your money at that point. I hate when things are locked behind a set because you have to waste money on the other stuff you don't want just to get the stuff that you do want
I didn't use markers. Rather, I've used a sand yellow on the drum of the Dainsleifs and kept the rest on, if memory serves. Closest you can get to that brown with markers is part of the weathering set

Just half-hearted stuff they threw in like they knew it's not worth it
I appreciate how you review older and/or more "obscure" kits. It definitely sets you apart from other reviewers.
I appreciate that!

Or, better yet, if they had to go the set route, throw in two Hloekk Grazes instead of the ace units
Never enough graze, too bad that Dainslaief didn't sold as expansion set. I really want an army of Dainslaief units
Agreed!
Too bad that's the case, yeah. It didn't even get the Geirail Scharfrichter/Landman Rodi treatment

Ah, so close on posing FullCity nippers at Iok Graze. 😭😭
I've actually done that in the Full City review
@@mj2005gundam oh right! 5 months I didn't check hard hahah 😅😅
P-Bandais shouldn't have that many stickers. They should focus on color separated pieces as expected from premiums.

Can we still build the normal version of Reginlaze Julia?
Yes you could, except the swords are extra sparkly now
To this day, Lupus Rex being Chelsea'd is still give me chills
Chelsea?
Maaaan, every time someone mentions Akame ga Kill I get a little sadder inside, so much water potential 😢
I'm afraid I don't get the reference

Why plaster a separate part with stickers when it could've been molded in that colour to begin with? I don't get it
