eye stickers I can deal with, I just have seen the stickers vangelus had to deal with on his unicorn vbuild and it looked like more trouble than it's worth.

Some kits handle stickers better than others. Some, like the Sengoku Astray and Build Strike Gundam rely very heavily on stickers. But there are also ones that only use three or four. Most of the time they're really not that hard to apply, though.

I would like to support the local hobby stores but I would rather not pay $40-50CAD for a HG kit. It's unfortunate but at those prices, I just can't.

My tip? Find yourself a pair of tweezers. They'll make your life a lot easier.

okay, I think I found the gundam I wanna try first

It looks pretty decent. looks like it has nice posability and dual swords is always a plus

Saw this thread on Gundam forums. It was really inspiring and cool.

I'm going to ask a very stupid question okay. Please don't treat me like I'm retarded because I don't know for sure what the word means. But what does "Gunpla" mean?

It means "Gundam plastic model".

Care to learn more?
