your Gundam collection

[master terrence]

I'm interested in seeing gundam collections :D please post picture of them if you have.

[Lord Timaeus]

I have no pictures, really, and my Gundam collection's rather small...

Gundam Wing vol. 1-10 + Endless Waltz
Mobile Suit Gundam movie trilogy boxset
Zeta Gundam vol. 1-5
G Gundam Complete Collection 1-2

[Suiko Eiji]

What defines a collection? DVDs? Model Kits? Books? All of the above? I know I'm more than interested in seeing some other collections; though its a shame that a lot of my model kits are boxed up at my parents house (I only have 5 completed kits here at my place ...)

[Sushikins]

As far as DVDs go:
Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy Box
Gundam: The 08th MS Team Complete Collection
Gundam 0080 Complete Collection
Gundam 0083 Complete Collection
Zeta Gundam LE Boxset
Char's Counterattack
Gundam F-91
G Gundam Complete Collection I
Gundam SEED DVD 1-10 + Artbox
Gundam SEED Movie 1

I have some other stuff, but wonder bother listing it here, mostly little figures I picked up in Japan, but I'd rather just post a picture. Although I lack a digital camera at the moment.

I want to start making some gundam models.

Zeta Gundam Limited Edition Boxset
G Gundam 1-3
G Gundam Box 2-4
Gundam Wing 1-10
Gundam Wing Endless Waltz
G-Saviour

Thats pretty much it, plus the goodies that came with Zeta, a 2006 MSG Calander, and various Gundam models. (Mostly SD models, because I prefer them).

[RedComet]

I have some DVDs and one random vol of MSG that I bought.

I have a much bigger MISA collection but these are the only ones I keep up. My Nu Gundam one is in pieces.

The Gundam Wing tapes are the very first Gundam thing I bought (outside of the MISA stuff). I wanted to buy the MS Gundam tapes but they were always like $25-$30, while the Wing tapes were only $10. My cable didn’t have Cartoon Network until halfway through when Seed was airing. So buying tapes were the only way to see Wing for me. My first experience with Gundam though is when I saw the last few mins of Char's Counterattack on a taped VHS.

So anyway the top picure includes:
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Vols.1-8
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Vols.1-4
Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny Vols. 1 & 2
Gundam Movie 3
Gundam Char's Counterattack
Gundam F91
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Blue Desiny
Gundam Wing Vol.s 7-12
Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo
Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space
Gundam: Federation Vs. Zeon
Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front
Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam Vs Zeta Gundam
Gundam Battle Assualt 2
and Some Newtype USA issues with Seed on the cover.

Maybe I should post pictures of my firearms then? :lol:

Nah, I've got a good amount of stuff and having to get pictures and stuff "organized" (I had to pull all of those books and magazines off of my bookshelf and I'm anal retentive about presentation of stuff like that), it took me probably near twenty minutes to take pictures and upload them, and then the time difference between posts as I was adding text to the images.

Actually, I think my goal for this year at AWA is going to try and complete as much of my NewType 100% collection as I can. Anyone happen to know where I can find a list of all of the books? Because of the varying print cycles of the ones I already have, they list a few different books each time.

[shezaei_neko]

What an impressive collection!!!
It's amazing!! You're a true Gundam Lover!

[Suiko Eiji]

Thanks. What aggrivates me about it (besides moving it every couple of years) is that there are some holes in my book/mag/mook collection that may never be filled simply because of the rareity of such items. I'm gonna try my best though :punch:

Megami, this is gonna sound pretty weird, but do any of those Gundam Aces have Wings of Rean chapter 5+? We can't fnd any raws for them -_-

Also, if stuff you don't own anymore counts, my collection would put even the toughest Suikos to shame. Well... in quantity anyway, not quality. Nothing beats Zeon Flag

[Magami No ER]

I'll take a look.

[Prons]

Also take a look for badass stuff like character one shots, ya know, sometimes they have short 16 page backstory mangas about folk like Shin Matsunaga and stuff, I seem to get translators for those real easy. (See: Suiko)

[Suiko Eiji]

Does this mean you want me to drag out VHS cassettes and dig through every magazine and book? I know I have a few Animage Sing Song books from the mid-1980s that have Gundam lyrics in them... :lol:

Nothing beats Zeon Flag

You got that right. I've been thinking about flying it outside for a "holiday" on of these days, but I don't have a flagpole nor do I think I can tolerate many more questions of "What country is that from?". Zeon-koukoku; Side 3, 0079-0080 FTW.

Watch it, I'll make you translate (see: above).

Most of the stuff you have is more rare, but... I don't think my 2,500 dollars of Gundam models could lose :(.

[Suiko Eiji]

PM me about songs.

I'd have to look into the kits that are still at my parents house but I may not have $2500 worth, so you might have me beat there.

If you know where I can get those posters please tell me^_^ Or if you can get a hold of them I'll buy them from ya.

Only Gundam posters I have is the Zeta one that came with the box set & a Char's Counterattack poster signed by Tomino. I really want more from the UC(especially Zeta) but there so damn hard to find.

[Magami No ER]

Gundam Ace inserts. Check Kinokuniya.
I wouldn't feel right selling them to you Levon, I have no idea what they're worth.^^;
GA's itself only 7 bucks.

[Levon]

Where do you buy them, Ebay? I guess the only thing that sucks is you might not know what poster your getting right?

[Magami No ER]

I buy them at the bookstore. There's a large one in NYC and one at the mall I frequent. I'm not sure if they're are any Kino bookstores in Michigan, their site's not in english(and what I can read doesn't say a thing about where they're located in the US).
Keep on searching.

[Levon]

Nah I'm sure they don't sell any where I live. www.animegamersusa.com sells some, issue 41 is on sale for only $2.13 ^_^ Do you by any chance know what issues those posters came with?

[Wraith Gundam]

I've still got loads of unbuilt/unopened kits and figures.

Model collection looks great!

[master terrence]

are gundam wing models out of production, or do I fail at using google?

[Suiko Eiji]

^Sounds like failure. Hobby Link Japan has 43 different kits listed and all but three or four in stock.

[master terrence]

I did find like one or two endless waltz ones, but I was like... what happened to the other ones. thanks though.

[Levon]

I hate the EW Wing Zero Custom:x I prefer the Wing Zero from the TV series more, and even better is the Ver. Ka design.

[Amuro]

I hate the EW Wing Zero Custom:x I prefer the Wing Zero from the TV series more, and even better is the Ver. Ka design.

Yeah, I'm not too hot on the EW redesigns myself, although the Wing Zero does look more "iconic" and a better "angelic" contrast to the "demonic" Epyon.
However, the Wing Zero Custom is the Wing Zero Ver. Ka. Could you be thinking of the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka.? I'm personally not too fond of that one.. my least favorite incarnation of either Wing or Wing Zero.

As always I seem to agree with Levon. WG zero is one of my favorite gundams as far as design goes.

And to the above. Not so, the wing gundam version ka is almost like a cross breed between wing and zero. It is a very nice design. Very sharp looking mobile suit.

clicky clicky (http://www.mc.ccnw.ne.jp/aa.initial.g/WING-GUNDAM%20Ver.Ka.jpg)

[Amuro]

That's the Wing Ver. Ka., whereas the one seen in Endless Waltz is Katoki's version of the Wing Zero.

[GUNDAMPILOT]

It is only the wing in name alone. Besides the rear wings and the shield its all zero.

[shezaei_neko]

Awesome!
The Freedom lighting edition! Also you've got some of gundam wing.
Question:
What do you people use to paint your Gundam? Do you use the special markers for Gundam Models?

[Levon]

What do you people use to paint your Gundam? Do you use the special markers for Gundam Models?

Hand paint & spray scans. I'v bought a few airbrushes but they are so cheap & crappy, one diddn't even work. Whenever I plan to buy another airbrushit will be a really great one, with a compressor.

I'm gonna try get a digital camera soon & take images of my models.


I want people to see the rare Dunbine Master Grade^_^ I added lights in its eyes which look really cool. I painted it to look like a bug, by mixing various blues, greens & silver. Although what I wish I had done was paint it all silver & then get some clear green & blue paint and paint over the silver. I think that would look even more like a bug.

[GUNDAMPILOT]

That will be about $300+ for a good setup levon. Not to mention a booth unless you home make one.

[master terrence]

how long does it usually take you guys to complete a level 2 gundam?

do stores sell this stuff, or do I have to buy online.

[Levon]

That will be about $300+ for a good setup levon. Not to mention a booth unless you home make one.


I think my limit would be around $150. I'm sure I could get a good one for that price.

[GUNDAMPILOT]

how long does it usually take you guys to complete a level 2 gundam?

do stores sell this stuff, or do I have to buy online.

Thats all dependent on what Im doing with the kit its self. If Im just going with all standard stuff. Full wash, fill and sand all panel lines, clean up any abnormalities in the molds, single stage primer, two coats paint maybe one coat clear/sealer. Then it may take me a month or so of steady work.

You might hit it lucky kit wise at a good toy store or hobby shop. All the supplies you can pick up at any hobby/crafts store and a few things you can make yourself. I always buy everything online since there is no hobby shops in my area that have a good selection of products I need and they always jack up the prices. Alot of the stuff I cant even get local like mr surface or some of the mr colors.

I never did like that whole "level" thing. There was never a such thing as levels till the port over to the US. Its all about grade. No grade, high grade, master grade, perfect grade and then the ex kits.

I think my limit would be around $150. I'm sure I could get a good one for that price.

In that case I would suggest checking up on the testors mighty mini setup. Comes with a good quality brush as well as a smaller electric compressor.

[Suiko Eiji]

Question:
What do you people use to paint your Gundam? Do you use the special markers for Gundam Models?

Believe it or not, none of mine pictured are painted - all straight up and out of the box. The Nu-Gundam I did, I used the yellow Gundam marker on it, though, I didn't prime the pieces, so they have a deep yellow. For the detail lines, I use thin lined black pens. There is a special Gundam line of pens; however, I have found that most similar hobby pens are about the same quality.

Hand paint & spray scans. I'v bought a few airbrushes but they are so cheap & crappy, one diddn't even work. Whenever I plan to buy another airbrushit will be a really great one, with a compressor.

The compressor, as well as the mess associated with an airbrush, has what's really kept me back from buying an airbrush kit, though I did plan on buying one for my birthday a couple of years ago.

How much mess is there from the spray paints you use? What kind of non-spray paints and brushes do you use? That migth be a more economical option for me at the moment

[Prons]

The spray paints I used ran from a dollar a can and as far as I can tell had no mess.

[Levon]

I use Testors paint for both hand paint($1 each) & stray cans($3 each).

[Suiko Eiji]

I use Testors paint for both hand paint($1 each) & stray cans($3 each).

What kind of mess do they generate? Are they acrylics or oil (or other that I'd need thinner for) based?

[master terrence]

what about a shiny metalic looking paint? ever come across one?

[Levon]

Not much of a mess at all, what I do is get a good sixed box & place them into the box & stray away.

You don't need thinner for stray cans if thats what your asking.

I only use Enamel paints.

what about a shiny metalic looking paint? ever come across one?

Only metalic color spray I bought is silver.

[Magami No ER]

By the way Levon, the Haman poster's found in the fourth Gundam Ace book of 2006.(#44)
Gihern's on the cover, giving his speech, Haman can be seen on the top right of said cover.

[GUNDAMPILOT]

Just picked up a few new items alah ebay. Picked up a few of the uncut stamp sheets, as well as a few promo posters from turn-a and z. Should only take like 3 weeks to get them though. :(

[Suiko Eiji]

^By Promo posters, are those for the Z movies?

[GUNDAMPILOT]

Yeah, the ones from a new translation.

[GUNDAMPILOT]

WEEEEEEEE!!!! Just added a great cel of Lalah Sune from one of the reanimated scenes from one of the gundam games. This was a great find. clicky clicky (http://pjjcels.rubberslug.com/)

Wow that looks nice....

Two HG models I've built so far.

V2 Buster Gundam
http://www.stevethefish.net/life/models/thmv2bustergundam.jpg
required only minimal painting--injection molding

F91 Gundam
http://www.stevethefish.net/life/models/thmgundamf91riflebazooka.jpg
required a bit more painting, but still fairly negligible--injection molding
.
I posted a link in the Models thread to my models page on my homepage, but here it is anyway:

[shezaei_neko]

Hey those ones look really cool!!

BTW, I need you help here people.
I'm planing to buy another Gundam Model. Any recomendations?
I was thinking on buying the Freedom Master Grade.
Or an Endless Watz Gundam.
What do you think?
Thanks for your help

[Mazinkaiser]

Personally, I'd go for either the Master Grade F91 (http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN945070) , Zeta 2.0 (http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN939597) or the Nemo (http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN941042) . However, I would say wait for the MG Crossbone Gundam (http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN945936) to be released. I love its design.

Among your choices though, I'd say go for the MG Freedom. The 1/100 Endless Waltz Gundams are all pretty terrible kits, while the 1/144 are not too spectacular. If you really want a Wing kit, go for the Wing Gundam Ver. Ka (http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN923714)

Further to that, if you did go for the MG Freedom, personally, I'd go for the extra finish version (http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN938527). I know it says discontinued on hlj, but you can get it for the same price on ebay. ;)

[Mazinkaiser]

Actually, I'd stay away from Extra finish versions. Typically, the finishing causes some nasty sprue scars, which makes the kit look worse. Add to that the fact that you can't paint or detail it (unless you strip the kit of the finish, which defeats the purpose), and the nasty pricetag. Extra finish does not justify a pricetag of more than double the price. The versions on HLJ differ greatly, the regular edition being $32, while the EF version being $68.

I'd rather get 3 cheap priced MGs, rather than one overpriced one.

Ok, you got me there, I do prefer to paint and detail my models and $68 does seem a bit steep. Thanks for the advice.

[Area88]

Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy (VHS)Keep hold of this. This is the only commercial copies that contain the original Japanese soundtrack with english subtitles. The differences in audio between the vhs and the re-recorded dvd versions are huge (sound effect changes, music missing, different voice acting etc).

As pictured below I have the trilogy on vhs in a very nice boxset.

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a162/mcarocks2003/Picture028.jpg

[Magami No ER]

^I'm happy to have that as well, the boxset's lovely.
As for another point, the songs have subtitles. = >

[shezaei_neko]

I was wondering.
I there another Gundam Seed MG model besides Freedom??

[GUNDAMPILOT]

Only ones I can think of off the top of my head are the freedom, strike rouge and the strike with aile pack.

[yami-f]

Thank's >>>>>>>>>>>

[shezaei_neko]

Here, question:
Freedom MG or Wing Gundam Zero MG??
There's a store in my country that has both.....so which one should I buy?
I already have both in HG.

[GUNDAMPILOT]

If I had to pick between the two I would go with the freedom. Im not too keen on the zero customs design. Now if they made the original wing zero in mg I would say go for it but since wing has run its course I dont think we will ever see the good wing zero in mg form.

[shezaei_neko]

And now that I've seen both....Freedom has more weapons.....

[GUNDAMPILOT]

Just added two new victory gundam vels to my collection. clicky clicky (http://pjjcels.rubberslug.com/) :)

[Suiko Eiji]

Those V Gundam cels are quite nice.

[GUNDAMPILOT]

Hate to bring back the dead and all but Im so excited I had to share it. Just got in a new cel I picked up of haro from the original MSG in perfect condition. No line fading no nothing and with matching sketch. Ill try and get some pics up soon if I can get my damn scanner up and running. WEEEEEE!!!! good times

[StrikeRogue88]

Sorry for not so good quality pics bad camera + I just took these right now(4am)

Also Im wondering if anyone knows where I can get the Extended MSIA Strike Noir? No place Ive looked has one in stock. And Im looking for a part for a MSIA Sword Strike Gundam. Possible to PM me if you have a MSIA Sword Strike thank you. Sory for long post :P

[Wraith Gundam]

lol :P , I remember back when I had only 5 unbuilt kits in my closet, seems like such a long time ago now. At the moment I have 59 unbuilt kits comprised of:

- 1 PG
- 1 BS 1/60
- 6 MG's
- 3 HG 1/100's
- 28 HG 1/144's
- 19 NG 1/144's
- 1 Resin 1/550

Built, I have 11 at 1/144 (mostly from wing and endless waltz), the four 1/550 mobile armors, Neue Ziel, Dendrobium, Val Varo, and the Alpha Azeiru. I also have 1 built MG Gelgoog v1.0 and the HG 1/100 Deathscythe Hell.

The rest of my collection consists of MSIA's (again, mostly from Wing and Endless Waltz) and a whole load of FIX figures; including the entire Cosmic Region set and 6 Zeonography ones.

DVD wise: I have the 0079 Movie trilogy, 08th MS Team and 0083 Box Sets, Zeta, Char's Counterattack, F91, G Gundam, Endless Waltz, SEED Special Edition 1-3.

[kaigen]

i have
Wing Gundam 1/144
Gundam Wing 0 1/144
Tallgeese 1/144
Deathsycth 1/144
Epyon 1/144

[PrinceAshitaka]

Why would you have 52 unbuilt kits may I ask? What's the point in buying all those kits before you have any time to even build them?

[Wraith Gundam]

Mostly I've bought them when I can get them for a good price, some were in bulk for xmas and birthdays and others were because I'd spent a while looking for them and the opportunity presented itself, as was the case with the 1/550 Apsaras II kit and the VP Sword Impulse conversion.

I'm planning on spending some time building them over the summer when I finish college.

[PrinceAshitaka]

I see, that makes sense.

[Suiko Eiji]

I see, that makes sense.

While I don't have anywhere near that number of unbuilt kits, I do have plenty as well. For me, it's an issue of time. I'd have some disposable cash lying around and decide I want a model kit, then by the time I get it, I'm busy enough that I don't have the time (or want to take the time) to get them built. To keep my closet from looking like Wraith's, I keep the unbuilt kits to a limit under twenty (especially since I primarily only build Master Grades) and I put myself on purchasing restriction so unless it's an unbelievably good deal, I don't get back-logged too much.

When I was younger (like, 14-16) I could buy an MG kit and have it done in the afternoon; could do a couple HGs a weekend or a couple BB senshi in a couple hours. As I got older, I started stretching the build and details out more to enjoy it, but when I got to college I didn't dedicate the same amount of free time to it, so I would still buy the occasional kit and they'd build up.

Astray has been panel-lined and I'm almost done putting on the decals. Been working on it off and on so it's taken a while. (Plus there are SO MANY decals!)

Rest of the Gunpla on my dresser. Very dusty... =.x
I've also got 1/100 Nataku, 1/100 Chaos Gundam, and 1/144 "Burning Gundam" (got for free from a Bandai contest) in the closet.

Um, yeah. I don't buy anything smaller than 1/100 scale anymore, and I prefer MG and up.

Got tons of posters too but I've taken them down since I put up newer posters.
Here's what my ceiling used to look like...
