I spent this weekend building the Real Grade Destiny Gundam I bought at Barnes & Nobles:

I had to put most of the decals on because I wanted to challenge myself, and I like the way it looks. I've built dozens of Gunpla, but this is my first in 4 years. It's a fantastic kit, but there is some nasty spru marks on the blue and gray parts, some fit issues and the foil decals do not stick.

I couldn't get the backpack to fit in my small light box, but I should have a picture of it on the display shelf soon if anyone is interested.

I came across some old Gundam models I have that I don't want anymore. What do people usually do with them? Toss 'em? Is there any after market for assembled sets to be used for customs or spare parts?

I've got a 1/60 Strike Freedom Lightning Edition (dunno if all the lights still work), 1/100 no grade Infinite Justice & Strike Freedom, and a 1/100(?) no grade Heavy Arms Custom from Endless Waltz. All assembled with no paint, no panel lining, or other stuff on them.

Haven't seen any Gunpla at my Barnes and Noble. I know not everyone of them is getting it but it sucks that mine probably won't have it.

It's not a very large selection, but it's nice to be able to buy them in person.

I went cuckoo for this one on Twitter earlier :D

Still wish there was a 1/100 kit of at least BD-1 if not all 3 units.

And as I said on twitter- YES! YES! YYYYEEESSS!!!! I cant wait for these two!
