    The After Colony crustacean family expands as we are now introduced to the Re:Operation redesigned Gundam L.O. Booster in HG form, and boy what a mixed bag this kit is. There's no in-between in the quality of content provided in the kit, from the top notch looks and gimmicks, to the downright poor stickers and limitations in some parts of the articulation. It's still priced similarly to getting a Geminass with an upgrade set, but there are bigger merits and problems with the kit than the price.

    Could you use the assult booster/high mobility kit on the Lobster gundam?? Or would you HAVE to get the p-bandai geminass?

    • @mj2005gundam
      @mj2005gundam  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You can swap out the shoulder armor for the boosters, but you have to get the Geminass separately otherwise, as the other parts that the boosters attach to (backpack, legs) are changed on the L.O. Booster. I guess you can mix using the leftovers, but you'd still be missing the yellow pieces for the backpack
