Nope, but Acceleracers. One set for play, one set NIB.

One dude just sold the Hyperpods for $1500.00 US.

Okay I googled these as I had no idea what they were. I had to immediately close the page!! I knew the further I looked the deeper the temptation. I already get enough flak from the wife about collecting 'dinky toys'. I tell her they're ADULT COLLECTABLES. It says so right on the package lol.

Ya know. I dont have a clue what you are all talking about. :lol: Ok Im off to the old folks home now.

It all started with Highway 35 and morphed into the Acceleracers. Cool show.

I'm looking for could an original 1967 Redline Deora BIN with the collector button, if you know of anyone selling.

ahhh boys and their toys :)

That being said, I love Grimlock :)

wow

OMG Kien those are SICK! I can't believe you built 5 already??? :biggrin: Must of took a whilef or each one when you are doing individual pieces.

That's pretty awesome (or at least very late at night it is). :wink:

Ha thanks :-). I actually only built the first two, Deathscythe and Wing Zero. The other three are not models. They are from the Metal Build series. Although if you count the dozen or so Real Grade and High Grade kits I built with my son, then Ya I've built a few over the last couple of months:lol:

For myself I'm working on a Master Grade Heavyarms at the moment :-)

Haha yup :) I had to watch it again just now.



You sir are addicted:mrgreen:, makes me wanna pick one up, just maybe... They have gundam x is mg now.

Yup. I definitely crossed over to addiction territory :lol: the good thing about Gundams is that they don't die one you for no apparent reason.

This brings back old memories.....I rmember the first gundam I bought was a chinese knockoff...I could never put the legs together cause the parts didnt fit :sad: Think I was 8 years old...

wow this thread is awesome, I love Gunpla..... I just recieved an order from hobbywave last week.

Can't wait to snap this together... I will be painting over the orange with the blue green metallic.

Nice Trevor! Gunplars unite ! :-)

It looks like the sleeve to a 12" vinyl.....

Kien, I don't know how you find time to do all this but thanks for sharing!

Guess what I found under my bed!

GAME ON !! And that doesn't look like any Chinese knock off either !

Ahhh, that's awesome! I remember my friend ordered around 10 gundams all at once. All kinds... PG, RG, MGs from hobbylink to save on shipping, it worked out to be roughly 20-25 percent cheaper than retail stores. All I said when I saw the amount of gundams he had was "It's going to be a headache building all those for summer break." Long behold 2 months of summer has past, he hasn't gone outside for weeks and the only thing on his mind was to try to sell the unopened ones to me at a discounted price. :P

Haha this ones legit. Bought it almost 6 years ago...just didnt get around to builsing it :razz:

Time to go get some paint and markers!

Funny, that's exactly what I did! LOL. I ordered a dozen kits from hobbylink japan and actually ended up saving quite a bit of money. So far I'm averaging one Master Grade kit a month.. but partly I also help my son complete some of his kits (HG and RG). They are addictive and I can't see the addiction subsiding anytime soon. The other good thing about this hobby is that you can pause , take a break and restart anytime you want and nothing will die on you. LOL.

I think I mentioned previously that I built HG Gundam Wing kits back in the mid 90s. These newer master grade and real grade kits are something else though. Definitely brings the hobby to the next level.

The other aspect that I'm enjoying again is watching the shows. I decided to start watching all the Gundam shows from the start.

At the end of the day it's a great pastime for my son and I to enjoy together. He's 6 and can put together any HG or RG kit together by himself. I help him with the decals. He's even started to paint now. I love that he loves the hobby.

:biggrin: your son must be one happy camper, having access to so many gundams. I think this hobby beats the video games that the younger generation is exposed to. Nothing beats the joy of looking at a gundam you spent 3-4 days straight to complete.

Spoken like a true addict:wink::lol:

Don't let your wife read this or you'll be sleeping on the couch for a loooooong time.:twised:

Haha, good thing I am a single and live at home. The only thing my parents can't stand is the paint fumes when I bring in the pieces after painting outside. Funny story... I once decided it was a good idea to paint a whole gundam inside my room in the middle of winter with no ventilation. I had night terrors dreaming about suffocation for 2 nights, might of been the fumes.:wink:

P.S Everything thing in my room is geared towards steering girls away... car parts, fish tanks, and plastic models and what do they have in common? I spend more time with them than I will with any girl, lol.

Indeed, it isn't a great hobby if you're trying to pick up chicks :lol:

My wife actually loves the hobby. It engages my son and he's building something, rather than sitting in front of the TV or playing video games like most of his friends these days.

My son pays for his own Gundams with money that he earns by doing chores, his homework, getting good grades on tests, etc. He's 6 and has learned the value of saving. He can buy a HG Gundam for $20 or save a bit more if he wants a Real Grade for $30.

My son building Gunpla :-)

Proud of his creation :-)

http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/...psmwhuvx3q.jpg

Haha,... definitely a chip off the ole block.... Has that same scheming, how am I going to get you, look on his face... But he is a cute kid indeed, certainly much better looking than the old man. Should be a hit with the girls...

:mrgreen:

The kid is mine, not the Gundam :biggrin:

Ok, I have been out of this for a long time. Do they now come with the stands? May have to start up again :) great pics of the kids btw, wonder if my girls would be interested.

Some come with stands, some don't usually you can find out by looking at the box pictures. If there is a unique stand rather than the standard octagon stand chances are it comes with it. You should start up and join the Kien in the dark side :). You should buy your girls the pink strike/ nobel gundam, they might like it. Nobel looks like sailor moon ahahaha.

Holy crap! I want that Sinanju ! I have no idea where is put it though.

I kinda don't mind that they don't include stands because there are many different varieties. My Wing Zero came with a stand but It kinda sucks and is rather buy a new one for it. Also, some Gundams are fine just standing by themselves without a stand.

Thanks! I am going to talk to the girls and see what they think. This is in fact a series which is kind of cool.
