Opening the Box...BB Unicorn!!!

                                                  There aren't many of the BB kits that i'm really interested in but when i opened the box to the BB version of Unicorn i thought...why not? the kit can be made into either the normal unicorn or the destroy mode which is nice and the clear pink pieces are rather large and stand out a lot more so than i thought they would. so heres what comes in the box...

                                            A super bright box top cover for this one.

                               Instruction manual with a cover example of Unicorn and Unicorn (destroy mode)

                           Was only two bags in this box and like most BB kits he will be a quick build. it will be fun to see how he turns out once i'm finished.
                                     
                                                           KEEP BUILDING!!!

Opening the Box.....HG 1/144 Quanta!!!

                                      After buying the bb Quanta i had to go out and get the HG 1/144. I think i now have every main mobile suit in HG from the 00-Gundam series.....i need to get the time to get all the pics i've gathered posted. After buying this kit i had started to put the stand together and then had an "oh crap i didnt take pics again!!" moment. so heres the box and its contents to the 00-quanta mobile suit from the 00 movie awakening of the trailbazer.

                                            Box cover is a super clean illustration of Quanta.

                                       Instruction manual with quite a few nice pic examples of the suit.

                                             Four bags makes for a fun build and an easy paint if you're going to customize the kit.

                                        The clear green sparkle stand that comes with the kit.
 
                                        Should be a fun night of building this kit. once i'm finished i'll post pics of the bb, hg and mg quanta all together. Thanks again Robogato!!!

Opening the Box...HG 1/144 Clear Gundam Exia Repair 2 & 0 Gundam(Type A.C.D)

                            After looking around on a few sites I was really becoming interested in seeing a clear kit in person. I had seen a few single kits for sale different places but nothing really caught my eye in terms of really wanting to build the kit and being interested in the mobile suit itself. A few weeks ago I found someone selling this Gundam Exia Repair 2 & 0 Gundam(Type A.C.D) Clear Version kit for a really good price so it became a couldnt pass this up situation and finally here it is.....my first clear kit.

                                                               Its a rather large box maybe the width of a MG 00 kit box but thin like a HG box . The top cover is an amazing picture from the last battle scene in the 00-Gundam series.

                                   The two instruction manuals for both the Exia Repair and 0-Gundam kit.

                                             Four packed bags of sprues to work with in building both kits.One really cool thing about this is that both kits come with a few extra parts. An extra clear GN drive, extra leg and arm parts for Exia Repair which if you dont use or switch out in this kit can be used for other kits. I have a normal HG Exia Repair 2 and a few of these clear parts will really make him stand out. Another plus is that all the non colored clear parts glow in even the weakest blacklight. Should be really fun to see how these two look together on black stands glowing in the dark.

Opening the Box...MG 00-Seven Sword

 

Joey recently picked up the MG 00-Gundam Seven Sword kit he ordered from Robogato. So lets see what all came in the box.......

                                                      Box top cover is really nice with an almost green glow much like the 00-Raiser box.

                                              Instruction manual with some nice pics inside and great examples of weapon options.

                                                  Twelve bags total makes this seem like its gonna be a pretty big build. Joey should have a good time with this. Hopefully I will get pics soon when he's all done.
                                                                 
                                     

Opening the Box....MG Strike Noir!!!

                                                I am a huge fan of the Strike Noir kits. The designs are awesome and over all its one of the more stealthy sleek mobile suits in my opinion. The HG 1/144 Strike Noir I built a few months made me really want to MG version. Seeing as I bought the kit and then immediately had a whole schedule change and no time to really do anything I'm glad this one was the next post to make and the next kit to build on the "To Do" shelf along with all the other projects that need starting on.

                                      Now for what comes in the MG Strike Noirs box.....

                                                 Probably my favorite box top cover so far.

                                                       Instruction manual

                                If i counted right it was nine bags total so this should be a good build. Major joints come with screws which is cool cause flimsy kits suck on a straight build.

                                                         Can't wait to start this one!

                                                           KEEP BUILDING!!!!!!
