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
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.
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
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.
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! 🎉
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.
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.
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.
I honestly like this Gunpla sure the show was short but I like it it’s a good take of a homage to the original rx78 now I hope this shows up in a update in GB4
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.
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.
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 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?
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.
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
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.
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’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
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?
How well does hlj restock, I’m new to gunpla and rly want tht re 1/100 2 pack. …. But it was already dropped and gone by the time I’ve joined the world of gundam ? Also need metal parts supplier thts trustworthy and fairly priced? Same for leds and opinions on brands, sizes, and methods ?
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
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.

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
I dont know what they could do to upgrade grandpa with a spear honestly
@killertails1244 Strike Pack compatibility, backpacks based off previous Build Fighters protags...

Bro got the whole bakery shop😂
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
Potential WfM clues
1:05 That base stand in the background could potentially be an action base 6 which is partially meant for WfM
Gundam Build Metaverse SHOULD HAVE BEEN LONGER
AT LEAST 25 EPISODES
At least 6 or 12 at minimum.
It ended decently though for a three episode anime.
At least the pacing is better than WFM.
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.
@@miragebangbravern no it fucking isn't.
just look at Maria's villain arc and tell me that shit is anything close to WfM

Lah means Sun
I love the Entry Grade models. My grandson can put them together while I put together a Master Grade version.
I mean as a Kit based of the Granddaddy gundam, is not that bad. Actually is good looking
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.

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.

I’m very not up to date on gundam, is thus a new show that’s going to be coming out?
@@youraverageshitshow4715Gundam build metaverse is a series that already came out, it was meant to promote the Gundam Metaverse game

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.
so i got my dad into gunpla and this was his first kit, he very much enjoyed it.
Good choice
Clearly Mecha simps for Magee given how he was shown in the Background

I laughed so hard when Barbatos falls off. lmao. same feels. same feels with my barbie
0:53 I see what you pause your videos on (;
Men of a culture :)
Love the Gundam details, surprised by the missing shaka too! 🤔🤖
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.
finally, someone speaking sense in here
FINALLY a new Entry Grade.
They should have made more episodes or just made it a movie
I love how this kit is basically just a normal Entry Grade RX-78-2 Gundam with a little customization and that's it.
Saw someone on twitter customized lah gundam from beyond global rx, not finished yet but it was good
Ah yes, the HG Gundam ByeByetos
Hey, a new video during the first minute? Good timing right here.
The beam blade looks like candy
this gundam deserved at least 12 episodes
I lost it when the Barbatos decided to just fall on its own.
That's those infamous IBO feetz for you.
when are you 3d printing that seed freedom gundam for review
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
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.
that "bye bye" get me
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
Yeah! Somehow Palpati... Reiji returned.
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.

Can you review the 1/60 sh studio gundam barbatos?
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
Simple but beautiful
HG Barbie falling flat on its face is very in character for HG IBO.
Good ol polycap lottery.

0:01 She got the bakery intrusidy💀
Magee is a guy.
0:52 I see what you did there *:))))))*
Colour it green and put some Zeon iconography and it's now The La-Lah Gundam.
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
Mecha, have you found 30MM Acerby yet in your area??? Please review it if you can 😅
Only major downside is that they didn't take the opportunity to add a more functional set of hands
I’ve been out of the Gunpla scene for a while. Are Entry Grades essentially just improved No Grades that are under HGs?
Wow. Another nice kit in entry grade
Rejoice everyone. The time for MB Astraea Type F Avalung is upon us
What a plot twist intro😅
7:40 Gundam Aerial
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'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.
this is the most Singaporean gundam you can find. Lah, Leh, Loh.
An you review the hg strike freedom
I wanna kitbash this kit with Origin RX-78 once I get Lah Gundam
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 buily my first gundam last week!!!! A entry grade RX-78-2!!!!!
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
Looks ok for an entry grade.
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 cannot wait to print….. I mean buy it
What do you mean, like dont use the gsi flow type panel lining marker? I thought that was safe? Or is it with specific plastic
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
You wouldnt download a gundam
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
Can I ask, In 14:09 timeline, is the back skirt have some gimick for the beam rifle to hold it? so you can store it like in RX-78-2
Please do a review of the Shin Burning Gundam
0:50 bruhhh 😂
LAHHHH GUNDAM !?!
Man i still waiting on my lah and exceed galaxy. When will we get these? USAGS says 4th quarter but that could be anytime.
i like the show and i think the Gundam looks ok. my complain is that RIo looks like Sakura Kinomoto.
Mr.Gaikotsu pls make a review of
Shin Burning Gundam!
Still why Sei's Avatar is just himself during his school days
(I know because Sunrise, but I mean lorewise)
In the Metaverse, you can make yourself younger and I am pretty sure they wanted them to be at least very recognizable.

How well does hlj restock, I’m new to gunpla and rly want tht re 1/100 2 pack.
…. But it was already dropped and gone by the time I’ve joined the world of gundam ?
Also need metal parts supplier thts trustworthy and fairly priced?

Please, next review be the build strike exceed galaxy!!!
Its kinda funny that the Grandaddy Gundam suffers from hip problems. Getting old sucks!
I'm Buying an Entry grade to do with my daughter, she's 6 so the less complex build and less need for sharp objects the better :D
Magee's butt i can't 💀💀💀
think we could see the mg stark jegan sometime?
Yo mecha can you review the build Strike Exceed Galaxy
Thank you Bandai, not buying this one, unless needed.
C'mon bandai! Give us entry grade zaku II's already!!
I wonder when will Mecha review HAJIROBOSHIIII 2nd form
i love sandrock :p
I choosw ezceed galaxy over lah but maybe ill get later its seems good for a kit bash from my broken helioa
Liked the 3 eps they did good shout out to the build series and the kits look great
