@Akaru88 In the past 4 days I've managed to find an MG Barbatos and an RG Force Impulse Gundam in person for a decent price, so my backlog has expanded. That Barbatos may jump the queue a bit, although I need to order waterslides for it.
My gunpla posting streak was broken after only 5 days, but honestly that was two more than I figured it would be. I have precisely 0 pictures in reserve and I haven't been home enough to take any or do any building.
I built RG Force Impulse Spec II, was a good build, though a bit annoying that Bandai decided to release a minor recolor as its own retail kit.
@wirelesswire I didn't even know the Spec II was a thing. That really is a minor recolor. I think I prefer the lighter colors of the base version (which is strange for me), but honestly without them beside one another I likely wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
Edit: Yeah, that sky blue on the skirting armor is fantastic. I like the boosters better on the Spec II, though, I will admit.

I prefer the muted colors of the Spec II, but I'm not a big fan of the bright red/blue/yellow on Gramps and other hero Gundams. I'm glad both exist, but I kinda wish one of them were a P-Bandai thing instead of taking up a retail release.
@wirelesswire Maybe the brighter colors will break me from feeling like I have to put on every recommended decal. Haha.
A couple of ver Ka kits will break you from that lol.
