Impeccable quality, great packaging and reliable delivery. Thank you.

I've built two 30MF models at this point and this is what I've learned from the Liber Wizard kit:

"Wizard" is a job, as Japan likes to call it, or what we in the West call a 'class', denoted by the equipment that it wears (armor/weapon(s)).
Liber is the light themed side and Rosan is the dark themed side, each one having the same jobs/classes with different equipment (some of it just being a color swap), even if they're both a "Wizard".
Some jobs have a 'class up' equipment upgrade, some have two and some have none. The Wizard has two, the Enchanter and Sorcerer, both of which requires the Wizard base armor.

Silhouettes (the base body without any armor or weapons) are much like 30 minute sisters, a humanoid body with several 3mm holes (peg) and have the same sort of ring system, where you can detach the legs under the thigh and the arms under the bicep and switch out rings for rings with pegs, to attach something with a matching hole.

The Liber Wizard in particular uses "Silhouette 3" and has a just under 17cm tall body, largely due to its heeled feet, whereas the Liber Knight/Priest (Silhouette 1) is 2cm shorter. The wizard is Master Grade territory, height-wise.

Aesthetics:
The Liber Wizard silhouette is a dark grey, almost black plastic, with light blue transparent plastic and baby blue swappable 'rings'.
The Wizard equipment comes primarily in white with some light brown parts and in the form of a hood (flips up and down, but doesn't turn) and a staff with an oval transparent gem.

Mechanics:
The Silhouette has a single arm bend (bends most of the way), 180 double knee bend, dual peg disc ankles (double swivel) and 30MS style hands, only much larger. 30MS comparable articulation with somewhat human-like movement/posability.

Equipment:
1 Staff
1 set of Wizard's armor, the notable part being a hood that can be pulled up/down
1 alternate 'stowed' hood
6 hands - Holding, fists and open palms.
1 'Silhouette 1' alternate waist
Assorted ring joints with and without pegs in baby blue.

Conclusion:
This is a 30 minute kit in name only, because you'll spend as much time building it as you do a complicated High Grade. It takes several hours, not one half.
The compatibility between Silhouettes is not 100%, I could not fit the 'Bishop' job armor onto the Silhouette 3 body perfectly, though it *can* equip it in general. Parts are interchangeable, you can put 3mm peg equipment on it, as well as backpack adapters for HG backpacks or 30MM/MS stuff, but not everything will fit, especially because fantasy kits are so large. Poses great, though the staff isn't held very well. The hood being unable to turn and the shoulder pauldrons being backpack mounted is a little awkward. Overall a fun kit with plenty of customization possibilities.

Really cool digimon, and really good service from the seller.

The (superior looking) TV Version of the Deathscythe Hell, finally in a decent Gunpla form! Originally a P-Bandai exclusive, Bandai thankfully made all of the improved G-Wing Gundams (Sandrock Custom, Heavyarms Custom and Altron being the others) a mainline release in the US of A, where the show was far more popular. The edgiest of edgy Gundams with skeletal ribs, a batwing cloak and a double scythe, making the nine year old inside of us go 'Yeeeeaaah coooool!'.

Aesthetics:
While the other models (Sandrock/Heavyarms) have minimal changes, this is one of the more heavily modified mobile suits, so while it retains the same legs and arms, the large shoulders have been made smaller so they fit inside of the giant batwing cloak, giving it a menacing look. While these kits are TV accurate and look fairly simple, the head and shield especially have some intricate panel separated details, giving it a bit of filigree look. The simple color scheme works well and has a nice balance of black and white, with enough yellow and grey to break it all up.
There is a dramatic looking sticker sheet with color correction panels, which are entirely optional. It's mainly six large sections to cover the white panels on the batwing cloak on the inside, but it's not necessary to use them. There are also six grey stickers for the inside of the ribs, which are easy enough to apply - Not great, but okay. More disappointingly, there are two filigree stickers for the shield. You can simply paint this instead, but it should've been color correct.

Mechanics:
The legs are the same, meaning the knees can 'click' open and extend the leg bend, while the torso retains the same lift gimmick for a nearly 90 degree forwards bend and the hips swing down.
If you have the HG Livelance Heaven, that is a Build custom model based on the Deathscythe Hell, but that model kit came before this one did, but also contained spare parts from this kit, before this came out, so obviously the Hell was designed long before it was ever released.
The point is that they share a lot of the same parts, namely the big batwing cloak, just in different colors and different way of attaching, in fact I'd say the Livelance has better mobility on its cloak, since it's attached to the backpack and can swing over, while the Deathscythe has its wings attached to its torso, so while the former can unattach its cloak, the latter can't, but that means it *CAN* have both cloaks on at the same time. Kind of. They obviously get in the way of each other.

Equipment:
1 Double Scythe with both beam emitters able to turn so it's a spear/halbard instead
2 scythe Beam effect parts, green, one longer, one shorter
1 'compact' beam scythe that can be stored on the back skirt in a 'closed' state
1 Shield that can open its claws, attaches onto the left (only) forearm and it can attach -
1 Shield Beam blade effect part, green
6 hands, 2 holding hands, 2 'Sandrock' thumb-on-hilt hands and 2 open relaxed palms

Conclusion:
The Deathscythe and the Deathscythe Hell were my favorite childhood gundams, so I'm very happy with both of them. The fact that the cloak is on the torso and not the backpack is an odd solution, but it works well enough. You can change the position of the 'wings' enough so that you can balance its poses and obviously it's best on a flight stand, especially since this is the 'space version' of the mobile suit. Hopefully we get the same TV version in a Master Grade one day, instead of the EW version.

The RX-78 "Netflix" Gundam is an absurd model kit compared to the rest of the HG line. It is three quarters of a Real grade jam-packed onto efficient runners. It is all about looks and not so much the mechanics.

Aesthetics:
There is no High Grade like this kit. Due to the model being based on a 3D animated show, it leans much more towards realism and as such it has a completely different visual composition and level of detail.
In a way, this is more 'real grade' than RG is. That means lots of layered armor pieces in different colors and tons of greebles (surface detail).
The head is very beetle like, ala Kamen Rider and those type of Japanese superheroes, while the body is very human like for a mecha, looking almost more like a robot suit than a 20 meter tall war machine.

Comes with a small sticker sheet (eyes, gun camera and a couple of little details) as well as an RG style form-cut decal sheet, where the stickers fit the entire panel that they go onto (for the most part), which is a very good thing, since if you top coat the kit, you can't tell they're stickers (apart from a few).

Mechanics:
As impressive as it looks and while it has most of an actual inner frame, the articulation is relatively limited. No toe-bends, can't lift its arms above or even parallel to its shoulders, low shoulder placement, almost no torso rotation and there's a tendency for the ball-socket shoulders and feet to pop off easily. It's not a broken kit, it's just more limited due to being based on a CGI Gundam, rather than the other way around. It doesn't even have ball-socket hands, rather they're pegged in and have an up/down swivel and rotation, but no sideways movement. It also means you can't swap out the hands (and besides, they're white, which is uncommon).
In short, it does nothing special, but it can pose well enough. The legs are on separate hinges, so the hips can lower down, enabling kneeling and kicking without being limited by the waist 'diaper'.

Equipment:
1 Beam Rifle that can be attached on the back of the waist.
1 shield, held in hand
1 Over-the-shoulder 'minigun' that can be tilted back and can turn
3 Beam Saber hilts mounted on a shoulder rack that also tilts up and down (plus an extra hilt, not mountable anywhere - Spare part)
2 light pink Beam Saber effect parts
1 Base Adaptor, 3mm hole for a round peg

Conclusion:
Regardless of whether you like the show or even the design, it is definitely a unique gunpla kit and a fun build experience. It takes very well to panel lining due to all of the detail (grey for best result, black for a dramatic and gritty look) and it has several molded in mechanical details dotted around the model, that are perfect for painting with metal markers or paint.
You can't get many poses out of it, it's not exactly made for jumping or aerial poses and it's not that well balanced, suffering from a lack of toe bends and its torso being so heavy (nice ab-crunch, but no backwards movement). Plus, the skirts are prone to popping off, as the thighs catch on them and they are *very* tiny parts! Beware. All in all, it's very cool looking and best for 'poster posing', walking menacingly towards the viewer.

A massive and great kit.

let me start this off by saying this is the best iteration of the shining gundam avalable from bandai, it is all you could want. but there are a few small issues i have with it. although they are nitpicks, they are worth noting. A) the leg thrusters can be hard to put together, i had to spend a solid 10 minuetes figuring it out personally, and i had to even cut a bit off the piece to make it fit, B) The shoulder guns are very annoying to put together with the chest plate and back plate. and C is the fact that if you dont push the headcannons really really hard into the head, you will not be able to fully close the faceplate, this is something i didnt know before building this and now if i want to fix it i have to pull it apart to do so. But overall this kit is awesome outside of these nitpicks! the articulation is second to none like the corresponding god gundam. And it looks great!

My first gundam. Lovely design and build process👍 Got me hooked

Visually a really good kit but the arm joint in mine broke so be careful when posing it

Easy to use but can be abrasive to the plastic parts.

Note to self, its not a crowbar

It takes the gundam to the next level, finally is the nub marks gone and super clean! Great with a pared up soft dry brush.

You have to be carefull not file to much

The high grade gundam aerial is a very nice kit with a big range of poseability and movement. It has a lot of nice details and the only downsides would be the very small stickers and nub marks. Overall it is a great kit and i would definitely recommend it to everyone who is interested

Fantastic to have your hands on, as this set is one of the most accurate to the original anime.

my second MG and easly my favourite gundam ever built

My first gunpla kit in 20 years and it did not disappoint. Great end result with a really fun build. Only the skirt is a bit flimsy, but when I set him down it is good enough.

The packaging of Gundam-Store is nice with a personal note. Keep up the great work!
