Not going to bother watching the other 2 movies. I may try and watch the show, someday, after I get a few more Kamen Rider shows put away.

I did like Strike Gundam, and the one Athrun piloted (forgot it's name at the moment), and assuming I enjoy building the HG I've got coming, I may try to get those two.

Athrun's is the Aegis, which I love for the mobile armor mode. Unlike alot of people I really enjoyed Seed. My only complaint might be the overuse of flashbacks to the same 3 or 4 scenes over and over. The show as a whole was pretty excellent though. Really nice designs that pay tribute to a lot of classic UC designs, even more so in Destiny.
