MG 1/100 Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode

I've got my hands on the Strike Freedom Full Burst Mode that I've ordered from a local hobby shop. The box art is nice. The length of the box is as long as my PG Strike but the height is lower by about 40%. It comes together with a poster (featuring Strike Freedom & Destiny), a booklet in Japanese explaining the design of Strike Freedom, instruction manual, MG 1/100 Strike Freedom normal version, plus the extra part for the dragoon and special gold plated parts.

The gold plated parts do not stand out as I would expect it to be for the gold colour doesn't really shine out. The special stand is similar to my Legend Gundam stand. I saw from the latest special 1/100 Seed Destiny edition, that the special stands they used to hold the 2 Gundams are exactly the same with mine and the stands are attached together. Thus, it makes me wonder whether the 2 stands can join together to allow both Strike Freedom and Legend to pose for a showdown.

Update on Gunpla Building & Wish List :D

1/100 Legend Gundam - Construction done

MG 1/100 F91 Gundam F91 - Construction in progress

MG 1/100 Crossbone Gundam X1 - Pending

MG 1/100 Strike Freedom - Pending

Wish List

MG 1/100 Hi-Nu2 Gundam (Saw this in XL Shop last week. The box size is exactly the same as Strike Freedom full burst mode)

MG 1/100 Strike Noir (I'm surprised to know that the frame of Strike Noir is based on Strike Freedom. I thought that Bandai is going to use the frame of Aile Strike as a base. But if I'm going to get Strike, I would get the I.W.S.P. Strike instead because the frame of this version is revised)

Trip to United Kingdom

I went to UK to visit my sister and my brother-in-law during Chinese New Year. During the stay, I was able to visit the Manchester United stadium Old Trafford together with my brother-in-law. It was a great experience to learn about the operation during match day, the history of Manchester United, and to get a home jersey with Henrik Larsson name and number during his loan at Old Trafford.

I was able to visit Edinburgh, Scotland as well. Edinburgh is a nice place to visit. It's a town with a castle surrounded by old buildings heavily influenced by Greek, nice landscape, and friendly people. I would love to go there during summer again sometime in the future where the temperature would not be that cold (it was 7 degree C when I was there).

Overall, it's a great experience and I would love to go back again for a holiday.
