So I found something extremely interesting while surfing the web today....

So aside from all the Build Fighters news it's also been confirmed that The Origin will be an animated 2014-15 series for the 35th Anniversary. Also Tomino is still working on his new project codenamed G-Reko which may or may not have anything to do with Gundam. Apparently he finds the name "Gundam" to be a nuisance and is distancing himself a bit.

A link to a preorder for the Build Strike,supposedly set for a late October release.

Edit:On the same site,there is also preorders for the HGAC Wing Gundam,HGAW Double X,and HG V Gundam.All seem to be slated for November release.

I completed RG Destiny last night, and it's a pretty glorious kit. I totally dig it, high recommend from me.

I may do some decals eventually, but not any time soon, gotta go back and build RG Strike to go with the Skygrasper I build a couple weeks ago.

Looking good! Real Grades just aren't my thing though, too many little fiddly parts for my crazy shakes hands :p

my Freedom and Strike Real Grades are both pretty solid, actually.

Have you tried one? I've only built the Skygrasper and Destiny so far, but I have Strike and Freedom to do next, and I'll be ordering Char's Zaku and RX-78 one of these days soon.

I think you should give one a go, it was really enjoyable, and wasn't all that hard. I have far clumsier hands than I used to, and it wasn't too bad.

Anybody have any Robot Damashiis they want to sell off for good prices?

The 1/144 scale isn't really something I'm in love with. I really do tend to prefer 1/100 but it isn't always possible depending on what suit I want to build. Real Grades just look far more complex than is necessary. I just want something that's a fairly accurate representation of an onscreen appearance. I don't really need all of the slighllty differently colored panels and realistic styled articulation. I just want a good solid build. And fuck those label sheets for Real Grades :lol

HELL YEA! Very excited for Origin! Maybe Bandai will finally make a METAL BUILD RX-78. The GFFMC's aren't as articulated as Metal Build.
