More Old School Gundam Found at Toy Kingdom Sale
Just want to share to you guys some of the kits we got from Toy Kingdom SM MEGAMALL today. It came to our attention that some toys from TK are sold for only 200 pesos only (like an HGUC Gyan) so we tried to see if it was true. There was no mistake about it, and we ended up buying most of the stuff on sale. You can see them below.
We also got our hands on MORE old school kits such as the series 1-5 of Gundam Wing with 1995 as the manufacturing date.
Here are the pictures.

New Kits: 1986 1/144 Zeta & ZZ Gundam
Me and my GF managed to get some old school kits on Toys R’ Us Robinsons Galleria. They are 1986 manufactured Zeta & ZZ Gundams. Well at least thats what the box says. We happened to like old school kits a lot. Its a preference that only a few Gundam collectors share. I am glad I am one of those who cherish old Gundam kits.
I am not a fan of 1/144 kits though. But I will make an exception this time…
Here are the pictures.
1/60 God Gundam HGEX (aka Burning Gundam)
I am so happy today because I finally got my hands on a 1/60 God Gundam HGEX. I bought it second hand from someone whom I think had already given up the hobby. Anyway amongst the 1/60 HGEX that is not produced anymore, 1/60 God Gundam is the rarest of them all. I have searched high and low to get one. Glad I was the first one to contact the seller of the item.
I will overhaul this kit because there are a lot of loose connections and not neatly colored parts. Good thing it was not panel lined yet.
Here are some pictures of the second hand kit that I got.

SD Unicorn Gundam (Random Pick from the Cabinet)
Nothing much about this post… I just want to this SD Unicorn Gundam added to my blog. Another kit made by my Gf, because most of the time we build kits together. Even though it happens that we are building 2 different kits at the same time, we still can’t seem to keep up with the backlog of Gundams that we have… blah blah blah… haha Sorry for the talk…
By the way, the gun is painted “gun metal” color though it is not that visible in the picture.
Anyway here are the pictures 🙂
Enjoy!

SD Destiny Gundam OOTB Review
Here is a little straight build review of SD Destiny Gundam from the series Gundam Seed Destiny. Seems unfair because the name of the Gundam is found on the title of the series hehe ^^. This was built by my GF. Yeah, she is a Gunpla collector like me. And besides, any girl would like to build this PINK-ish kit. No panel lines or whatever… just plain ol’ snap-fitted kit.
HGEX 1/60 Victory Two (V2) Gundam OOTB Review – Part 2
This part contains the pictures of 1/60 Victory Two (V2) Gundam taken on my persona mini studio… You can check the individual parts on part 1 of this post here… Again this is a partially weathered build. Its practically a snap-fitted attempt but I kinda got the itch to dirty the kit a little which turned out really good. V2 gundam is an overall great kit. I am planning to put some wings on it if I have the time…
Here are the pictures!

HGEX 1/60 Victory Two (V2) Gundam OOTB Review – Part 1
I just finished building 1/60 V2 Gundam a while ago (about 15mins). In this review, I will be showing a “slightly-weathered-snap-fit” build. V2 stands for Victory 2. I don’t know the story and I hope to read it someday. At first I thought that this will be a really small 1/60 version. But in the end, I was really happy about how it looks. It had a quite a complex mechanism involved because it can transform into an core fighter unit. Kind of reminds me of Macross…
The size comparisons will be at the end of the post…
Here are the pictures…

Why I Ordered PG 1/60 Strike Freedom Gundam?
Next month which is June, my PG Strike Freedom will arrive. The original plan was to buy it this coming September, but my source told me that the FREE LIGHTING BASE stock is almost out… Yeah, you got it right, I ordered it all because of the Lighting Base… So in a panic that I would not get the free base, I immediately asked my source to get it asap…
Here is a picture of the lighting base courtesy of Dalong…
