Hi guys Got the Clear Blade Liger Parts (C&G) here in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Note though that not all blue parts are to be replaced but only applicable to Sprues C & G. Sprues C & GI bought BLBI instead of RZ-028 BL since in my opinion the yellow-orange translucent parts will blend well with gray parts. Top BL Sprues C&G, Bottom: Clear Sprues C&GBLBI MK-II ;DClose-up pics showing the transparent parts I'm really happy that I'd been able to acquired these replacement parts, it transform BLBI into different level. The plastic quality is good, and the color suits very well with BLBI grayish armour. The only bummer is the price it costs US$52 for the set. Cheers to everyone dri1

I don't really like clear yellow (or yelloworange), but dang, those DO look a lot better on a BI. Still not my top choice, but I wouldn't mind some either...
Now, if they were clear blue, I'd go nuts.

Ugh, double ugh and triple ugh. IMO that's one of the foulest promo items in existence.

That's kinda what I was thinking too. I mean if you're going to make a translucent promo item like this, why not blue like Tilly said. Or purple, green or something. The orange-yellow just doesn't work, for me at least.

I'd like to see the parts on a Red Blade Liger. I also IMHO think less would look better, so use the standard versions of the tail, blade mounts, boosters, ankles and bunny ears.

The only bits I personally like are the blades - it kind of looks like in the anime where they start glowing before slicing something. Perhaps they started with a good idea and then went too far?

Is it actually the same kind of plastic used normally or is it a resin? A kind of resin we use is naturally that amber colour, which might explain it.
I think it looks really interesting. Certainly unique! While I'd prefer nearly any other Blade Liger colour scheme to that one, its starting to grow on me!

It's a nice shade of yellow, but I don't think it'll work well with any exsisting model.
I think the Jusco set would look good on an a deep orange blade liger, provided the parts that are usually white get a coat of light pale yellow or orange too. Could always spray them clear green or orange too, or something.

Slap on a little transparent orange paint and you could make yourself a Ray-absorbing blade liger!

Like Andy, I only like the blades. They definitely got something good going on, then decided to go all out and make a weird parts set. They oughtta make a clear blue version.

I would only use the blades to make it like the zoids chaotic century when van makes the blades on his blade liger light up. Other than that i dont like it but its really what the buyer wants I guess.

I don't see what's so bad about them.
I think they're pretty cool. They work pretty good on either Blade Liger, but I, too, wonder how they would look on one of the Red Blade Ligers...
