How long did it take?
Is it as hard as the Tamiya 1:12 bikes?

Only took a couple of hours. Never built a Tamiya bike but it was no more difficult than a Kamen Rider. Almost everything is parts separated.

Could anyone who owns the Decade kit offer some advice?

The right eyepiece just doesn't stay in place, and I can't figure out why. The vertical pieces are all properly set (and you can see in the pic where I've scuffed them a bit making sure they're flush) and the shiny sticker is correctly positioned. The left eyepiece clips in fine, and I can't see anything different between the two sides.

What am I missing? Or should I just give up and glue it?

I had the same issue. I gave up and glued it.

I never noticed that on my kit but I have heard that it as a common issue. Perhaps check the nubs and make sure they are cleanly cut out.

I painted the eyes instead of using the included stickers so I wonder if the stickers are interfering a bit.

Thanks guys. I'm sure it is to do with the sticker somehow, but I'm pretty confident that me trying to paint it could only make it look much worse. I'll give it a dab of glue next time it pops.

For anyone who considers themselves a beginner, while this video talks about Gunpla, alot of the tips here and be applied to model kits in general.

I am feeling very despondent now...I can't find anyone who has Kuuga Dragon Form in-stock anywhere. BBTS has him listed for pre-order still, but I don't hold any hope for them getting stock since I've had W Joker Form on pre-order since the end of September when it said October 2021 release, now it says February 2022...HLJ doesn't even have a listing, and there is nothing on eBay.

Does anyone know of anywhere that has Kuuga Dragon Form available?

I didn't think it was officially out yet? Last I heard was late March, but I'm not expecting my pre-order until May.

My advice would be to keep an eye on Amazon Japan. Marketplace sellers tend to get all the FRS kits in stock periodically, and the prices are generally reasonable.
