Walked into a retro toy store "near" me. And I saw this kit...... grabbed their ladder. Put it up. And climbed up to the top. (Much to the shock of the employee's) and pulled this off the shelf. I didn't even hesitate, didn't care of the price. I NEEDED that model.

It’s interesting how the older kits were engineered back then as opposed to the modern day ones. I have a couple of year 2000 MG Nu Gundam kits which contain the die cast metal ankles and waist joints, metal screws, and mesh tubing. Very different to the all plastic 2012 Nu Ver.Ka and the more recent 2019 RG Nu. Bandai has come a long way. I imagine if Bandai ever makes a Dendrobium 2.0 or an RG, it would be an even more insane kit.

I have the kit 😁 yes it's massive ( 97cm long) mostly the mega particle cannon as wide as the meteor unit ( surprisingly not as wide as the nightingale ) Zak's correct in saying that you NEED shelf space mines along side my meteor unit, narrative A pack and E type GN arms 😶 they take the whole top of a unit facing forward ( imagine how long a shelf is needed if displayed lengthwise 🤔"at least one and a half doors worth"🤣) I wanted one since I saw it at gundam front in 2014 I was lucky enough to get one along side the PG 78 unleashed when it came out 😭my poor wallet that day 💴💴💴💸but worth it 🤗 maybe one day I'll get around to painting it 📛 decals might be customised unless I can source a decent set for the model

I've built a number of BIG CHONK BOI kits since I first got into the hobby, but this has remained on my wishlist. I keep telling myself to take the plunge, but always psyche myself out. :/ I remember looong ago a Japanese modeler chronicled on Twitter his attempt to scratchbuild a 1/100 Dendrobium to go with the MG kit. I didn't follow it for very long (IIRC I was following it through Gundam Eclipse or HobbyFanatics or some other now-defunct discussion forum, and as the forum died down so did the updates) but it was damn impressive either way and I've always wondered if he finished or not. The last resounding image I have was of it taking up basically an entire Japanese bedroom. Phew.

Outrageous prices, cheesy, dated designs stuck on a loop for the last 40 years, toy-like circus colours, and worst sin of all : huge, flat, boring surfaces with no details whatsoever. I seriously don't understand why they are considered the industry leader when any other brand, koto, goodsmile, wave, hasegawa, blows them clear out of ther water.
