slaIntroducing gunpla.fyi -- a searchable database of released Gunpla kits
wirelesswireNice! I use the Bandai manual site regularly, so this could be helpful.
Akaru88It would be nice to be able to filter by standard or limited release.
unfortunately that data isn’t part of the bandai site, so i’d need to figure out how to join that data with other sources. preferably in an automated way
Also on a side note, you can get the actual pdf of the instructions off their site by modifying their URL. Take this:
manual.bandai-hobby.net/menus/detail/2373
and modify it to this:
manual.bandai-hobby.net/pdf/2373.pdf
You now have the actual pdf file that you can download and interact with like any other pdf. Maybe a good feature for gunpla.fyi would be to directly link to these.
ieatpwnsDalong.net does this in Korean and English with pictures of runners and full part count breakdown in Pictures
Dalong is another good resource, but I prefer the manual scans from Bandai.
dalong is great! this is intended to be a better browsing experience rather than a replacement for dalong’s incredible cataloguing work
