So there are quite a lot of paint and stickers needed then for the finer details. I guess I'll wait for the Robot Damashii.

Alright. It's a very popular design, so I'm sure we'll see a Robot Damashii sooner rather than later.

Owning the kit, I can honestly say that there isn't that much effort involved outside of building it.

There are a couple of fiddly ones (mainly the forehead) but there really aren't that many stickers/painting involved unless you go as far as panel lining the whole thing. The swords are all stickered, but they don't look THAT bad from pictures I've seen if you go that route. Its your choice, but I think you'd be waiting a while for a Damashii if they even make one at all.

Anyway, I started watching Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.

I miss classic Gainax :(

What is the watch order for Fate/Zero Fate/Stay? I've heard Zero is much better than Stay and is also a prequel, but even though it comes chronologically first, it was aired way after so does the series assume you've finished Stay already or can I just skip Stay and watch Zero?

Fate/Zero is a prequel to Fate/Stay Night... but Fate/Stay Night is pretty dull from what I've heard so you might have the richer experience if you get that one out of the way first. :lol

Good to hear. So I can just avoid Stay all together and watch Zero.

I say get Stay night out of the way them watch Zero. Also if you watch Unlimited Blade Works, keep in mind this is an alternate path of Stay Night.

Or you could just wait for the new Fate/Stay due out soon.

People keep saying 'get Stay out of the way' but why? If Zero is a prequel surely I don't have to watch Stay at all?

I'd say just watch Zero and then wait for the Fate/Stay Night remake in a few months, since it'll match the quality and tone of Zero better.. Zero will introduce you to all the concepts of the series anyway.
