It was more of a turquoise than actual blue, and I'm kinda glad that they didn't keep it like that. I thought it looked terrible in that color. Plus, you can always paint them to match when you get the kit yourself. I'm not planning on getting it anytime soon, but if/when I do, I'll probably do some custom color scheme.

I'm not sure if the Special Edition is worth the price they're charging, so I would probably just settle for the regular version.

In all honestly? IMHO not worth... Despite I'd love to expose the WoL and the Palma Fiocina, 14€ (Don't know how much is the extra charge in $...) and the metal joint (A thing that I don't like at all...) are a too big price to pay for those two things...

Special Editions of anything are rarely worth it.

MG SF is a great example.

Homie is correct. Still, the WoL at the least should have been included with the normal MG. Oh well, the model looks good, so I won't complain any further.

The model itself looks good overall, But the FAITH emblem just looks ugly as hell. Clashes with the rest of the suit in that area. Also with the ZAFT on the shoulder in black.

If anything, the emblem should be a tiny mark on one side of the forehead part.

If I ever get it and decide to keep the base body color scheme, I'm probably making both the cannon and the sword a nice shade of grey. The simple change really lowers the amount of clashing on the color scheme.

I wonder what the Special Edition boxart is going to look like. I imagine it'll be a picture of Destiny doing it's signature pose (wings of light activated, arondight pointed forward).

I was just watching Space Balls the other day, so the implications of that boxart disturb me.

Saw this pic at Figure.fm and thought I'd post it.

Not sure if this a pic of the official Special Edition, or if it's just a mod someone did. The photo's source is ToysDaily.

Even if it's just a mod, the WoL and the Palma Fiocina effects look really good, tho. I just hope the official one (if this isn't it already) would look just as good.

Glad to have ordered the normal version...

I LOVE the WoL effect but can't stand the metal like joints...

Man, seeing that they did a good job with the Destiny Special Edition, makes me even more pissed that Bandai didn't put the same amount of thought into the Strike Freedom Special Edition. I would've traded in the bling bling coating on the joints for some "thruster wing" effects parts and maybe larger thruster trails for the DRAGOONs. That would've made a really nice display to have a MG Destiny and a MG Strike Freedom clashing beam sabers with wings ablaze.

Wow . . . I am SO getting the MG Destiny SE. The WoL effects and the Palma Fiocina effects look really good. Boomerang effects doesn't look half bad, either.

When I get this, I can finally pose the Destiny blowing away the S-Freedom with the Palma Fiocina, Wings of Light blazing . . . or perhaps the Destiny impaling the S-Freedom through the cockpit itself (I'd like to see Kira get out of THAT one) with the Arondight.

Ahhh . . . good times . . .

If they did exactly what they did to MG SF, you can use the regular joints also.

MG SF Full Burst had both bling version and the normal version of the joints/skeleton.

Both SE sets seem to be like that.

SF got both sets of joints and both stands, Destiny gets both sets of joints and both sets of figures ...

Haha... I guess that's the consolation prize for all the Kira/Strike Freedom haters out there. The Destiny SE is better than the Strike Freedom SE. You guys can have your fun, but we all know who came out on top...*snicker*

I'd really only get the MG Destiny if a MG Infinite Justice got made, so I could show Athrun actually finishing Shinn/Destiny off instead of letting him off the hook. Hmm I guess I could do it with a 1/100 Infinite Justice kit (I should think about that more).

Eh, my Rams are going 0-4, and I think we can go 0-16 if we really tried. Gimme a break, cyber. *sobs*

The "S-Freedom pwnage courtesy of Destiny" scene might be the only scene of pwnage I'll see in a while lol.
