I actually have both of them. But I did mean the UCS one. I wouldn't mind a redo on that one. The wings were too long on the original.
You have two? Two. Jelly. |

The one you showed was the normal scale set which retailed for $20. The one Nova showed retailed for $100.

They sell for considerably more than that now.  |

They sell for considerably more than that now. That's because now they're collectable. My cousin just got the Shuttle Tyderium set because "they were stopping production". I told him they always stop production. I've thought about selling them a billion dollar idea for a single set of every model they've ever marketed. |

I think I'll stick to the BanDai models for now anyway. I have a whole lot of work ahead of me to build this AT-ST, and there's a speederbike, and snowspeeder I want after that.  All the same scale too.  |

Should I get this? How much? Does it come at the cost of millions of lives crying out and then being suddenly silenced? Cause if so, it sounds like a steal  |

I never got into those. I'm actually going out right now to get some more paints for it, and eye goo (makeup) for Sithiness. |

Girls I wanted, just didn't know how to go about getting them. Partying? Not so much. My sophomore year, I had no TV, which meant no TV, movies, or video games to while the time away. It was books and model kits. |

Well, you must be an exceptionally good engineer. Tell your boss I said to give a pay hike...not a raise...a hike. Don't get me wrong, Gundam's looked really cool, just I had...err...other priorities...lol |

It's a pro/con. I was socially awkward through college. But my engineering skills are natural, so I can pinpoint specifics as to why I find something/someone attractive. Tell your boss I said to give a pay hike...not a raise...a hike. Easier said than done. I work for a tight-fisted Grinch. But it's alright. If I were making what I should, I wouldn't be on the Forum as much. Don't get me wrong, Gundam's looked really cool, just I had...err...other priorities...lol
As previously stated, I find as much enjoyment in a finely designed machine made of metal (or plastic representation) as I do one of flesh and blood. |
