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

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.
