Hell there was someone on /m/ or /toy/ that started with the Sazabi ver kai as their first kit.

[Vandole]

i wanna see how it turned out lol

Are there a bunch of HGs that don't have MG counterparts? I had thought of just sticking of MGs but I can't seem to find everything

Guess I found a list, does this cover everything?

build fighters gundams don't have any MG iirc

[Tyrath]

Also why are Real Grades so cheap? Any advantages to getting those?

[Edelweiss]

RG are "cheap" in comparison to MGs because they're smaller; compared to other 1/144s though they're doubly expensive.

Also there's 3 GBF MGs, plus a seperate support unit to make the Star Build Strike.

The lolGundamWiki list is actually surprisingly good, though somewhat incomplete/not-current (it's missing a ton of exclusive Zaku II variants).

Eh, they seemed to be more or less similar prices to HGs to me. I noticed theres only like 20 of them though so not that many options. Might try 1 or 2 in the future.

[Insanecyclone]

I can't recommend one if you're not very good with small parts. I went through a few HGs before I jumped into the RG line.

[Tyrath]

It's more that I got frustrated on a few small items, but I can manage at the end of the day. Like I said I'll keep them in mind for somewhere down the road. Mainly looking at that badass Strike Freedom one some day.

[Insanecyclone]

Yeah the RG line isn't all that hard but it's just those parts can be annoying at times.

I have the Strike Freedom RG...I may go ahead and build that this weekend. I mainly snap straight build shit but I do try and clean up nubs close as possible.



FT info is slow. Better off just animating it instead.

[Edelweiss]

Probably not terribly surprising, but I guess there's going to be a P-Bandai online exclusive Zeta Plus A1 [Unicorn ver.] for November. It's basically just a recolor (including the clear parts), with some Cheyenne Base and EFF (the ground forces) specific markings (likely waterslides (or maybe dry transfers! :D)).

[Insanecyclone]

Guess I ordered too early cause I got the HG campaign D and E parts instead of the A, B, or C sets. Wanted that sword for my gouf custom. Oh well.

Can probably use something for the R4 beam rifle and missile launcher.

Welcome to airbrushing -- I hope you bought some MG spoons to experiment on.

Saw this posted on Reddit -- might be worth it for anyone with a B&N that sells Gunpla
