MBF-02 Strike Rouge
Above: Rouge uses the same mold as Strike Gundam but has different colors which look rather cool.
Below: Rouge (unlike Strike Gundam) comes complete with Skygrasper.
The release of Bandai's perfect Grade 1/60 MBF-02 Strike Rouge is good and bad news (kind of). The bad news is that it miffs owners of the Strike Gundam that came out last year because Bandai have given the full works to Strike Rouge. First off, you will notice that Rouge comes complete with the FX-550 Skygrasper +AQM/E-X01Aile Striker - something that we Strike Gundam owners had to wait half a year for. Secondly, Rouge comes with proper etching decals and not the crummy stickers that we got with Strike Gundam...
Rouge is out on the 25th of August and will set you back 19,000 yen (200 USD-ish) - but that is if you want to pay full retail price - get yourself along to Rakuten and pick it up for a piffling 15,000 yen.
If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

My Strike is being delayed :( going to be here in like 2 weeks now.
And I think I know how those dry-transfer decals work, so ignore what I asked in last post.

I've just recently gotten back in the swing of Gundam modeling again and am really considering getting the PG Strike Rouge. With that in mind, these aren't cheap and I'd like to find the right paints for the job. Any advice?
