Do you buy Gundam Seed Models?

[Psyke]

I am an avid Gundam model collector and usually paint them with air brush.

These are the Seed models I have:

HG 1/100:
Aile Strike
Buster
Duel
Freedom

I got Strike and Freedom before the Master Grade ones came out if not I would have bought the MG ones. Going to collect all the Seed 1/100 series, so I need Aegis, Blitz and Justice, and Providence. Too bad the 3 Earth Gundams were not made into 1/100 kits, but they don't look that great anyway.

[Souryusen]

I built the master grade Aile Strike.. it's probably my favorite model. Love that MS.

[Guardian_2000]

I've kept up for the most part so name it and I've got it. I've been thinking about getting a display case for them. I'm just now getting into serious painting, paneling, and what not.

[PSJ]

dont have the money to spend on things like this. if i had spare change every now and then i might have botugh some models.

[Eurasian]

over the weekend, i went to a store that sold gundam models. the price varied but it was between $32-$50. yeah like psj, i don't have the money. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

[Guardian_2000]

It is a very expensive hobby just putting them together. The Sentinel models are some of my favorites thou. And I haven't touched my PG Strike yet. Thats whats spurred me to get better at painting and paneling.

[Deblas]

I havent bought any GS models yet but i do have old gundam wing models from the endless waltz movie. I have wing zero,sanrock and heavy arms. man heavy arms took hours to built

[Psyke]

Currently I've got 10 Mastergrades andaround 15 HGs, all 1/100. Gotta get myself a perfect grade soon....

[PSJ]

cool take some pics of them and post in here.

1/100 Freedom Gundam, 1/100 Force Impulse Gundam, and a buncha other ones, but not SEED or SEED Destiny hehe.

I really enjoy putting the models together. For people trying to save money, if you are careful you can get some good deals on ebay. I will get more, and even try and get some older ones, once I get a job again.

Right now for Seed I have:

1/144
HG Duel Gundam Assault Shroud
HG Freedom Gundam

1/100
Aile Strike Gundam
Sword Strike Gundam
Launcher Strike Gundam
Aegis Gundam
Buster Gundam
Dual Gundam Assault Shroud
Blitz Gundam
Freedom Gundam
Justice Gundam
Astray Blue Frame 2ndL

1/60
Striker Weapon Systems (1/60 scale Strike with all 3 equipment sets)

Woah u must really love Strike to buy all 3 sets of different equipment. I only bought the Aile Strike because I thought it looked cooler. Seems u have all the HG 1/100 sets, maybe except for Red Frame and Providence. I just got Blitz Gundam yesterday, so need Justice, Aegis and Providence to complete my collection. (Astrays don't count)

You are right about the Red Frame and Providance, I'm just waiting to get the money (though I'm thinking about saving up and getting Battle Assault 3: Featuring Gundam Seed first).

I got all 3 Strikes because I have an insane need for completion when I collect, (getting everything in a series) so I want every one of the 1/100 and larger models. I decided I don't like the 1/144 models.

Also, WHAT DO YOU MEAN ASTRAYS DON'T COUNT!!!! The Astrays are cool! I would definatly suggest picking up the manga if you haven't already. Also, have you seen the picture for the Blue Frame 2ndL model? That huge Sword alone makes the model worth getting!

[NomoZ]

SEED: MG Aile Strike, 1/100 Red Frame Astray, all of the SEED SD's, plus I plan to get MG Freedom soon

Universal Century: MG Nu Gundam, MG Sazabi(so f-ing big), MG Hi-zack, MG Rick Dias, MG Char's RX78, MG RX78-4 and the red and green SD Zakus

Wing: 1/100 of Deathscythe, Tallgeese III, Sandrock Custom, and Serpant Custom

G Fighter: SD God Gundam

I mean Astrays dun't count because I'm not collecting the various astrays.... : )
I like the red frame and the original blue frame but I dun like the blue frame 2L, as I thought it looks nothing like a conventional Gundam. It looked like something from,say Godannar.....

As for the manga I've not seen it yet, but I've seen the red frame OVA which was quite short.

[rdperalta]

I have the 1/144 HG Freedom, 1/144 Tallgeese and 1/144 HG Wing Zero Custom. Im still waiting for the 1/144 HG Gunner Zaku Warrior (Lunamaria Hawke's MS) which will be released in Japan next week (Feb 15)

SD Strike
I'm still looking for the weapons pack version of this little bugger [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
SD Freedom

The killer is that I just moved recently, so I don't have a place set up to actually paint and glue the kits together yet &gt;.&lt;
Maybe by the summer I will though [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] And, on the bright side, because they are GunPla kits, I can still dry-fit them together when I get them ^_^
Oh, and by the way, if you think thats a lot of models, well... check out this page on my web site
http://homepage.mac.com/wampafodder/PhotoAlbum11.html
and those pics are about a year or two old. I have a lot more kits then are shown there now. So many kits, so little time, heh...

[Wamp]

Oh yea, I also totally forgot about the 1/144th HG Calamity Gundam that I picked up recently locally (omg, buying in the US is SUCH a rip-off ! $30 for a 1200 yen Kit ?!?!?), to go along with the Sword Calamity Custom Kit that came with the October (I think) issue of Hobby Japan Magazine [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

You also totally forgot about the edit button. Don't double post. Thanks
