the small pieces are already glued, it didn't take much. The hardest part is having hands bigger than a 12 year old asian girl, because some of the pieces are just tiny. Here's a better pic of him and buster. Ignore the date stamp, this camera is a retarded piece of ____.

also, when i was assembling him the leg directions seemed off to me, as if they were printed backwards, so i just assembled the other leg the way the instructions showed. Turns out mine shipped with legs reversed.

i cannot wait. Oh god.
 
he looks tempting. I am building an ultimate prime (with armor and all) and slightly tempted to use that as the base, rather than a leader ROTF prime...
 
Nope, just the preliminary listings at BBTS.

The only thing that I've found out is that Jetwing Prime does not have the Buster Prime paint job.

Thanks guys, so right now the only hope is DA-28 with premium paint. With the price tag he should be premium, here's hoping.

To the freaks who owned both buster and dmk prime, which one do you favor most?

DMK is the most accurate, nicest-looking Prime by far. Buster will probably run you more than DMK Prime right now, so if you've the means and the patience to put him together, go for the model kit. Just be forewarned that he's not to be played with or posed much. Buster's great, but despite how much I love him, DMK makes him look like a toy. I really doubted that there would be much difference when I ordered the DMK Prime, but having them side by side there's no comparison.

Thanks, I already have buster and that's whats holding me back on getting the dmk. I hope I'll be able to afford it when the second run comes out. Too bad he didnt come with guns .

The detail on him is fantastic. Just the chest alone, I was blown away at all the tiny detailed parts that go into that. I'm 11 steps in about 1/3 of the way done and while is he semi-challenging at times, he is a blast to build so far! I keep staring at him and Im not even done yet.

Also, tiny hands, patience and needle nose plyers will be your friend during this process lol.

He doesn't have the chrome, that's all they revealed about it. We'll have to see if they really mean with that, because you never know. :(

And here is how great DMK Prime can look with a few mods and a new paintjob!

I ordered one for $80 and there is one more left. Hope shipping won't be a lot from japan to USA.

Darn. Must be sold out now. And a good price too.
Oh well I'll just wait for the 2nd wave in dec and maybe start looking in building up my air brushing skills.

This figure has me all interested in plastic models all over again!

Last model I did was a blue Mazda rx7 almost 4 years ago.
