The official Gundam model kits/figures thread

[QuadESL63]

There must be a Gundam model kits/figures thread to go with the Soul of Chogokin one So I started this.

I have been a fans for years, starting from the very beginning (ok, no guessing on how old I'm please ). It all started w/ a 1/144 RX-78 model kit when I was a kid in Hong Kong. I did loose interested in the Bandai model kits after the Zeta Gundam series in the 80's and stopped for a while but Gundam always have a soft spot in my heart (I do follow the anime series for years, esp. the ones center ed around the UC era). I made a mistake in getting a couple of US MSiA figures on sale @ RCSS a few years back and it all get jump-started back to life. Now, I have a quite a few MSiA/EMSiA and Fix Figuration figures next to my TF collection. Not to mention the pile of unfinish SD Gundam, HGUC and a couple of MG model kits sitting in the room.

Anyway, so who is into the Gundam world of model kits and figures/toys?

Back in 1996, my first Gundam model kit was Gundam Wing Epyon (LOONG before Gundam even touched base here), I bought it cause it "transformed". After that I bought Wing Vayeate and then slowly learned about the UC stuff. and well....... BOOM.

I only have 2 model kits : MG Zeta (version 2.0) and PG Zeta. I built the MG myself, it was quite fun and challenging. I'm not a pro though, so I don't shave or paint the plastic and stuff. I got the PG fully assembled. Awesome kit, it's more impressive than MP-03 Starscream in my opinion. Bigger, more imposing, electronics, huge gun, poseable. I love the poseable fingers and the way the head panels shift around to expose the inners. Now I want the first version of the MG Zeta, and also the MG EX-S Gundam and the blue MG version of the Zeta (forgot which model it is exactly).

My first gundam kit was 1/144 scale Tall Geese III from gundam wings endless walts. and it grew from there.

gundam model kits and Warhammer 40K is what got me into kit bashing.

I think i got started around 90's with one HG 1/100, one from the wing series and ended up building all the HG 1/100 wing series. I thought that was it until one unfortunate day I discovered MGs. Til this day i'm still at it.

P.S. And the dvd's with english dubs damn expensive but gotta have lol.

Saw Gundam Wing on tv then got the series completely on DVD and Endless Waltz Special Edition.
Still got my 4" figurines,bought 2(one set is still MOC) of each.Only one I never found was Talgeese III.

Pretty much the same for me, except it was a 1/144 HG Wing Zero Custom that I found at a stand at the Chinese New Year Festival place. I've liked Gundam models ever since. I don't buy/build many though, I mostly have a bunch of random kit. Only one MG so far too.
