Can we just appreciate how Mecha gaikotsu puts the intro song of the series gundam its from for each gunpla?

[@gaeli6697]

I appreciate the guy a lot. I'm not an avid Gunpla fan, but what made me still watching his videos (for almost two years from now) were his way of delivering his content, and his sense of humor. Pretty relaxing content to watch after got back from work.

The best part is that my wallet won’t have a panic attack whenever I buy one. This video got me to buy my first one and thank you, I found a new fun hobby

Ive never been into Gundam before but recently fell in love with a game, Gundam Breaker 3, and want to get one of these cool robot things. So I looked up some videos here and found your channel. Your videos are amazing quality! I want to get something smaller and cheaper for my first build and the little entry grade RX-78-2 looks pretty much perfect. So I used the little referral link in your description. The delivery cost is 5x the cost of the actual model LOL so I bought two and will give one to a friend! Cheers!

hey king hlj is great especially for harder to find kits, but if you dont want the shipping costs and are looking for something pretty standard places like usagundamstore or newtype are also great places to look at!

Couldn't agree more with his #1 pick. I had so much fun building it. And even after it's done, It's so sturdy and feels great to pose and handle. Nothing feels loose or breakable, a LOT of care went into designing this kit and it shows so much.

[@LoreDrake]

I just wanted to drop a thank you. I started my gunpla journey this year cause of everything that happen and your channel has quickly become my go to. Thank you for all the news, the reviews, and all the stellar recommendations., I look forward to experiencing all the kits of 2021 alongside you. Also a personal top 3 for me would be... 3-HG Gundam Airmaster Burst 2-RG Nu Gundam 1-MGEX Unicorn Gundam Ver. Ka

you know, as much is i adore present kits, with all their mind blowing articulation and tech, i find comfort in older kits from 2009 onwards. i adore the rush i get when i feel like a child again when i have something as daring as the mg barbatos but it feel like home when i build another hg unicorn variant for the 5th time

I think EG RX78 is really special. I bought it as a gift to a friend who never built a gunpla. And she sent me the poses of it that afternoon of the very day. I can feel her joy in building a gunpla. I bet this kit would bring a lot of new fans of gundam and gunpla. I later bought one for myself. The articulation and easy building experience are insane. Totally a 11/10 for me.
