Last summer when I went to Japan, my son and I visited Gundam HQ and each came back with Gundam models. Since then I've built 4 more Gundam's. It's rather addicting. Or maybe I should say Zen. So…. What has your experience been with Gundam modeling (Gunpla)? A Not familiar with Gundam B I've never built a Gundam. C I've built one or two Gundam's. D I've built several Gundam‘s. E I can't get enough of that plastic crack! |

A buddy is really into it. So much so he wrote a set of rules for (and called) Gunpla vs Gunpla (Wargamesvault). Good for a single or maybe two pre side. Kinda detailed but fun. |

B For the record, they sell Gundam model kits at Target stores in the US (along with pirate vessels from One Piece, which might be of use to those who don't mind a little cartoonish nonsense in their fantasy sailing ships). |

D (I've lost count of how many gunpla kits I've built, though only a few of them were of actual Gundam suits. I'm currently in recovery for plastic crack addiction, or I would have answered "E") You may want to re-word those options before it becomes a actual poll though. As the way that you've worded things is functionally similar to referring to all Star Wars model kits as "X-Wing's".. A better replacement for "Gundam's" in the poll options might be "Gundam kits", "Gunpla", or simply"Kits". I'm really happy that you and your son are enjoying yourselves, gunpla (and plamo in general) is an excellent hobby. |

Not the Gunpla type models, but built many a 3" tall mecha model of Dougram, Macross, and Robotech for FASA's Battledroids. When I catch up on building more recent acquisitions, it will be time to play some Battledroids Alpha Strike! |

E I have shelves full of them, about 30 to 40 of them. Not just Gundam, have some AT Votoms as well, to which Bandai reissued some new Votom kits this year. Then there's the 30 Minute Mission robots. I have models waiting to be assembled. I think I have a problem… and I'm going to a model show this weekend. (o_O) ! |

Yes. You do have a problem Sargon. The problem is that you need more Gundam! |

RG Zeta Gundam is my plan for this weekend. |

B for me. I am more of a 6mm guy but always interested to see good models out there. |
