The idea of getting a grimoire that isnt overpriced to heck from gougers has me very hype.

Also i'm torn between being super happy we're getting a new BF that usn't Zeta Gundam Power Hour, and being depressed that the cutepool has reminded me of the lack of a good kapool kit still.

Given the usual patterns, that cutepool makes it seem very plausible we're getting a good regular Kapool kit.

That one hadn't shown up in my feed reader when I posted the Scopeoire. Can't decide which I like more.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
I mentioned it in the main Gundam thread, but they showed a GN-X IV variation (in the Exia Dark Matter colours) which makes it the first time that has gone on general release in any form. I was going to try to get the P-Bandia GBF version in March, now may wait and see. I expect it should still be possible to make something closer to the base design, will have to check the GN-X frame layout.

It’s just the first step to a 1:1. After all, they made a BB-8 in 1:2 and it was about Haro sized I believe

Build Divers is either going to be really good or bad for me. Good because anything Build Fighters related makes me want to build and try kitbashing and tackle my backlog.

Bad because it's just going to make my backlog bigger.

If nothing else the new kits are far and away better than the recent "A Zeta Gundam, but X" ones.

BTW that rotor backpack is a separate option pack purchase. So you can build yourself a drop squad of helibots :v:

Of course, the most wonderful thing about the Red Beret is that it’s piloted by a literal nazifur.

Build Divers had a character flying a Daughtress, and that gives me hope that they'll make an HG of it. C'mon Bandai gimme that wonderful Gundam X grunt love, you know you want to. Or, if you'd like to literally rob me blind, make an HG Aries. Or a RE/100 Aries.

I just panel line and decal/sticker as I build after making the rg zeta and getting to the end and not wanting to transform it to get at all the parts.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself.
But most of all, you cheated BABA




Phone pictures of progress on my MG Dark spooky Exia! I'm finding that I enjoy using the marker - it's my first time actually using it and it's pretty cool since you can rub it off (thank god) - and that holy cow, the MGs are stuffed with detail and tiny pieces. I love it!

e: Also, for reference, that head unit took me about half an hour to forty minutes? Which is perfect, because all that time in front of my lightbox really helps with depression. It's a win/win situation and I'm gonna need more MGs and RGs when I finish this kit...

I've changed a lot since I started hanging with Sonic, but I can't depend on him forever. I know I can do this by myself! Okay, Eggman! Bring it on!
Protip: Try using a q-tip to feather the marker lines in larger areas or cutouts, as you see fit.

the "Use MGs to slow down" strat works great for me, combined with the "Never start another kit until you're finished with your current one" rule it's like a brick wall, plus feels great to poop out an HG after you're done

My two backlogs:

Things I bought and plan to build.

Things I bought because they were cheap, or because I had another related suit from the show so obviously I need to complete the set.

They'd never do it but I shudder to think of what it would be like to build the segmented sword if they did a PG Epyon. It would be like 25 runners for it alone.
