Finally, I got my hands on the Mega Size 1/48 Gundam RX-78-2. I got one for myself and another for my friend (he has to pay me back of course).
I opened the box, and the first thing I saw was just how big the shield is... I have a feeling this kit is going to use a lot of my paints. Now if I can get my hands on the Dengeki Hobby magazine with the special markings for this kit, then I would be truly happy.
Other gunplas I got was the MG Unicorn HD Color + Cage, as well as the HG ReZEL Commander Type. With these two kits in my hands, I think I have everything I want from the Gundam UC series thus far.
Of course (with a nod to Dennis @ Collect'em All), for the longest time I had wanted the DX Chogokin Macross Frontier VF-25F Super Messiah Alto Custom. Now I've gotten it!!!
But I also plan to get the Ozma Custom & the Lucifer as well.... probably much much later. =(
And being a Full Metal Panic fan, this recent year has been great with many model kits & toy offering for the series. My only regret was that I didn't get the 1/60 Arbalest when I had the chance.. and now is all sold out.
But at least I can get my hands on their other products... such as this Gernback M9 (Kurtz Weber Ver) model kit. I've been waiting for this one for awhile.
If you have read this far into this post (which I suppose most people won't...LOL), then I just wanna say that I will be posting my newly finished HG Stark Jegan very soon. Either tommorrow or the day after.
