Love namek vegeta. Really good custom. Changed your avatar again? Lol. Lol, Yeah, but my red hearing is that I'll stay with Piccolo. Nobody else as far as I can see has Piccolo so it seems recognisable enough for now if I stick to him. And this avatar most of the time probably. But I like gifs so mich switch in a gif once in a while. And thanks, was reaaaaaaally simple. I don't dare call it a custom myself. Did you have to do any custom work after removing the flaps from Normal Vegeta? I tried to safely saw through the extensions with a knife, but it turned out thin metal scissors worked best. Then I simply took sandpaper and carefully starte to sand it down. The reason why I left a tiiiiiny bit of height to it is because I was scared I couldn't sand it completely flat without ruining at least the shinier element of the rest of the armour. So I sanded it down to a level I personally don't notice from display-viewing distances. 10 minutes work total for me and I never customise much. (I'm a clumsy [expletive deleted].) I have those Gundams in a box in my closet lol Go build 'm man! The Master Grade Wing Zero took me soooo long man. Like.. five hours I think. But I've never had other model kits so. Just lots of lego when I was a kid. Love that Wing Zero, single most epic Mecha I've seen in anything. Love the Gun/Shield combo. (Like it more than the second Wing Zero or Endless Waltz.)

Your collection pictures make me want the figurarts line even more! Why can't I save money faster!

I didn't save money lol, I sold +/- 30 Marvel Legends over the course of a year. I'd throw out every single collectible thing I have if I had to do it to get or keep these (*counts* ) 8 Figuarts haha. Ran out of things to sell now though. Everything I've uploaded a photo of is stuff I really hold dear now so don't think I'm expanding at all anytime soon. I gave up on both Frieza AND PAK Poison Ivy to be able to buy ssj Vegeta. Good chance I'm gonna skip Normal Goku too (assuming it's only the cell/buu saga version). And I don't know what to do with Krillin, because he has no point in buying for me if Tien and Yamcha never get here. (OwnedCount: +1) 17 and 18 will probably be the first new Figuarts I'll get and that might not even be this year anymore *tear*. On the non-DBZ list are Marvel Select Silver Surfer in Nov, PAK Arkham City Joker (no idea when that'll get here) and in friggin march 2014... DC COLLECTIBLES ARKHAM'S DEATHSTROKE.> My advice is to keep re-evaluating your collection and prioritise what you want and what you REALLY want. But that's just me, maybe I'm lucky with my psychology.

Exactly. I sold off a lot of my other collections and streamlined the ones I kept. It makes such a difference like how I now have the next 2 months with no figures I desperately need to buy.

The Bandai MG Model Kits are so much fun to assemble. Loved building my 2 Goku kits

Yeah, I gotta say, the MG was a bit of a B!tch though... Some really, REALLY small parts and stickers that kinda made me annoyed. But my eyesight isn't the best either so, don't think I'll buy more of 'm. I was thinking of someday buying MG Heavyarms or Epyon, it's too bad MG Heavyarms doesn't look too anime accurate. I wish there was a normal HG Heavyarms.

I think the Goku kits were a lot easier than the Gundam ones. Not as many little fiddly pieces.

MG Wing Zero was so effed up. I still can't believe I managed to piece that thing together. It took me like 6 hours or something (including a dinner break).

So you guys wouldn't recommend getting a Gundam model kit then It depends if you have the patience to build one. I do not. So I would not buy one for myself.

Well, my best recommendation is that 1) they're clearly very well made and I think the MG Wing Zero is just spot on, just straight out of the anime (it can transform btw into jetmode). And 2) if I can build it, chances are a 14 year old could and that means you probably could. MG's are just soooo many parts, but it's cool, it's a cool project. I'm just an impatient guy so I buy those things with the idea of having something to work on from time to time and I end up just spending half a day on getting it done. If you're a Gundam fan and you like to build stuff then I highly recommend them. Btw you should always check for the HG and the MG per Gundam you want because the MG isn't always in every way better imo. For example the MG Heavyarms isn't accurate to the anime. I almost bought a few Tamashii Robot Spirits, but then I found out how little those are so I abandoned that idea.

A local Toyworkd has a few. I might have a look next time I'm there because I had great time building the Goku model kits. I hate that the DBZ kits got cancelled.
