Bandai - HGBF 1/144 009 - GAT-X105B/ST Star Build Strike Gundam + Universe Booster Power Gate

Sei Iori's modified version of his own modified version of Strike Gundam, Star Build Strike. As we all know, If you do Watch the Series, we all know that this is one hell of a Unit. The First time we saw such a unit with such amazing features: Absorb System , Discharge System [ Discharge Rifle Mode, Discharge Speed Mode and Discharge Aqua Mode ] , Radial General Purpose System [RG System] and Universal Booster.

Now, If you are on a tight budget I do not recommend getting this kit. Why you say? But first let's see what do we really have in the Kit.

• You'll get a a Build Strike with it's conversion parts to Star Build Strike. What was change? actually the only thing change was a plate on it's leg.
• You'll also get 1 Rifle that can be changed into 3 Different Modes, 2 Beam Saber and Absorbing Shield - Absorbing Shield does not have any articulation instead you can change it's front palte to make it look opened.
• Universe Booster
• This Kit contains the Blue Plavsky Wings.
• A stand

Why Do I not recommend it? because of this, the HGBC 1/144 Universe Booster Plavsky Power Gate. This custom parts include the following.

• Universe Booster
• Power Gate - Yellow Circular thing
• The Same Rifle, Same Beam Saber, Same Absorbing Shield
• Build Strike Conversion parts to Star Build Strike

See what I mean? if you Have the first build Strike and happens to be in a tight budget, why not get the Universe Booster alone and Convert it since the only thing you'll be missing is the Blue Plavsky Wing. But how about if you do not own the first Build Strike, and just get the Star Build Strike - Actually it's fine but don't expect to get the same armament as the Build Strike have, note that kit has a lot of weapon. So I guess, Bandai's Marketing Strategy works that way. Well anyway I'm cool with - I can still use those extra part for other custom units that I plan. ^^

Star Build Strike Box

Contents - looks familiar? because it's almost the same content as the Build Strike - and you get a stand!

Contents - Blue Plavsky Wing on the Right

A Manual, Sticker and a card with a code in it. Don't know what it's for though, might research it later.

Universe Booster

So Here it is, now in attaching the Plavsky Wing, you have to remove those pick things attach to the Universe Booster and Lower Part of the Unit. Those little pink attachment can be attached to it's stand so you won't have a problem where to put it.

Cool isn't it?

Manual and a White PC

See this? this is the same part to convert your Build Strike to Star Build. The same Rifle Runner that is included in HGBF 009 and Stand.

So in conclusion, I only took those yellow runners in the bottom - Power Gate

Disappointed I may have been because I spend a lot on that Power Gate and knowing that It's content was the same, well atleast my Star Build Strike looks like a badass.
