I love Gunpla, and I prefer HG kits to MG generally (though I love MG too). However, the Robot Spirits figures are extremely nice, and considering transforming elements, sturdier too. Yeah, the HG kits are cheaper, and if you prefer the enjoyment from putting them together then I would say go for it. It will be awhile before the RS Wing is out anyway, and it will most likely be a Web Exclusive. Personally, I think the RS looks much better. I don't think there is usually that big of a gulf between RS and HG kits either. What usually sells me on RS over HG kits are the extra details, the panel line work (when it's good), and the metallic and clear paint jobs. Like the recent RS Gundam DX, you get those mechanical details underneath the green chest piece that you don't on the HG. Little things like that make all the difference to me.

Speaking of RS, this is the one I'm really looking forward to:

I love that design.
