I think the "blood groove" is actually a fuller, a structural technique in forging. It seems counterproductive, but the groove actually changes the cross section of the blade and strengthens it. Love your reviews, they help me decide which models I want to get into

The "blood groove" is called a fuller, it's there to reduce weight while also increasing rigidity, in the grand slam it makes sense

I noticed that aside from the color-separated wings, the build of the Aile Striker seems to be virtually identical to the HG revive which is pretty interesting. I wonder if these parts are compatible with the HG Aile Strike (Edit: Turns out it is according to the Gunpla Wiki). Also, I feel like it was kind of a missed opportunity to include the Armor Schneiders since the original basic EG doesn’t come with it out of the box but eh what we have is already enough to settle with I guess
@rapidemboar4625 Ай бұрын
The original polybag (is that the right term?) release of the EG Strike came with Armor Schneiders, but the later box release omits them. Still a massive shame since the bagged release seems almost impossible to find nowadays.

I'd agree, I really love the way it looks OOB and personally I don't have any looseness with it yet. My old HGCE on the other hand is starting to age(makes sense since it's been like a decade since I bought it), I guess I could replace some of the old polycaps but I prefer just messing with the EG and I do have the option sets coming for it.

Just as a note, the Shield and Rifle isn't the only way the Strike comes. The EG Strike had 4 different loadouts, the most common being the bagged one which just has the armored shneiders, the boxed one with the shield and rifle, the Grand slam set, and the launcher set.

Yo! Everytime you drop a new video I really watch it immediately. I'm currently on college and your videos feed my Gundam addiction. Actually I don't have a lot of Kits, I only have the SD Unicorn and EG Strike. I was saving up for Schwarzette last few months and when the time I had the money, I was really sad that they ran out. Before they have like 2 boxes of those but I wasn't able to get even just one. Anyways, keep up the great contents always, Man!
@chilly_alchemist779 2 ай бұрын

Something i found you can do with loose pegs to fix them really quick if you are lazy is wrap a little bit of tissue around them before putting them in. if it works it tightens up the peg and if it doesnt you havent messed anything up
@Xolivas1 Ай бұрын
I just got the two options kits and I gotta say, the color separation is awesome, more so in Option Set 2 (Launcher Strike and Sword Strike). For something so simple, the detail is awesome. More bang for your buck and...dare I say, this may be the HGSeed Perfect Striker for the modern age. Edit: Also, a tip to tighten the grip of the peg. I used a small strip of tape around the peg and it works perfectly.

Besudes the new wings and adapters, the Aile Striker itself looks and builds the same as the old HGCE, exact same seams and all. I wouldn't be surprised if Bandai just rearranged the HGCE's CAD data onto new runners. Maybe that's why the fit isn't as good lol. Overall, if you just want a 1/144 Aile Strike, the HGCE still seems like the best value. Mines is more solid after 10 years than my EG Strike after 2.

all the weapons are from other versions of EG strike gundam but you can't "snap clear" the Aile striker because there are some thick gates on those runners (on the battery of prefect strike are the most obvious one) This is more like HG Aile striker and EG weapons.
