Does normal plastic/abs and clear plastic make a difference?

I recently moved and should graduate next week, so once I land a job I can buy so many of those cool new kits.

Oh god, I can likely afford so many of them. :negative:

There are parts of Skinny ZZ that I really like, and parts I really actively hate.
It does look better in your shots than in promotional pictures though.

How do you guys store your gunpla?

Because I'm looking at having to stop collecting, because I'm running out of room to keep them.

I only display like 4 right now, I just moved and I need to fix up/finish some of my very first models so I don't feel ashamed of them. (Imagine the rest :suicide:

)
Plan is to have a Mg Nu VerKa next to the RX78-2 and MG X + DX on the top shelf by may next year. :v:

I use one of those big plastic binders for all the manuals, I cut up the boxes and store them together in a (nice) pile.
I put spare parts, weapons, etc in ziplock bags, generic stuff like polycaps together and non-displayed modelkits inside shoe boxes with bubble-wrap I had lying around to protect them. I fit like 2-3 1/100 in a shoebox.

I couldn't care less about all these sales until MG DX goes up for pre-order.

This man gets it; assuming my wallet agrees at that time still I am going to order Re1/100 GP04, MG DX and finally get myself an MG X.

Red Bones posted:

I can't think of a suit popular enough for them to continue the line with, honestly, considering how expensive it must be to design and manufacture those things. Maybe the Nu, if that doesn't already have one? Most of the massively popular suits already have PGs. I can see why they didn't make any more for years.

The only ones that might stand a chance:
Unicorn variants (because duh)
Sinanju (Unicorn hypetrain and popular)
Nu Gundam (Iconic MS)
GM (I doubt they will ever want to 2.0 a PG 78-2 and this is a solid choice)

After that it gets even more shaky IMO. Either something from SEED/D (Very popular), Exia/00Q (reusable frame) or the gundams without a lot of high engineering gimmicks (Ground Gundam, God Gundam, AGE1, etc) and ofcourse should the shows be popular enough <currently airing show here>

Do all transformable kits look like total rear end when transformed into a plane or is it just the Lightning Gundam?

The better ones tend to look great from 75% of the angles, and utterly hilarious and weird otherwise.

At this point I have no idea what is even going on with the whole writer situation (and to be honest it really doesn't matter), but the first half of Try was genuinely pretty weak. Even for a generic shonen sports tournament show, and especially compared to S1.

Much more importantly, I just blew my paycheck on MG DX, MG GP-01 Fb, MG GP02A, RE/100 GP-04, and all the paints I need for my Exia and 00Q. Free at last. _{until X Divider}

You need a "under the moonlight" repaint of MG Gundam X, or are you some kind of non-completionist Casual? :shepface:

So if I want a model of the GP03, do I want the HGUC or the MG?
I know the MG is old and pretty much a 1/100 HG in terms of engineering? But is there anything that makes the HGUC much better a choice?

That is pretty incredible, especially after the kinda bleh Gundam X boxart. I mean, it showcased the Gundam X's thing, big fuckoff cannon, but still.

GX's boxart is amazing sir.

Also I kinda like that Zeta, its 2Edgy4U in a lot of ways but It does have some neat detail going on.

https://www.gunjap.net is okay for Gunpla news and features some nice buildups that GG doesn't. The guy who runs it is loving nuts, though, and the layout kind of blows.

Crazy in what way? Cause I tend to use gunjap over GG's blog because I don't like GG. :ohdear:

Everything above 21 Euro's (including shipping) gets hit with ~10% Import taxes and a handydandy ~�19,- processing fee. Above �250 would be actual sales taxes.
I never minded paying taxes on plastic robots, but the loving baseline fee is stupidly out of proportion for my usual packages. :v:
